-Erik-
It's been four days and she hasn't woke up. Four days.
Not a single change in heart beat. Not in her movements.
Nothing.

Nothing at all.
Fran keeps telling me to go home but I refuse to leave her like this.

I refuse to let her be left alone in a hospital with no one.

She deserves someone, even if that someone is me.
As I grab her hand and rest my head on the side of the bed from the chair I've got close to her bed, her heart picks up a little.
But she doesn't wake.
I hear two people come into the room but I refuse to look up.
"Hali, maybe this is bad timing."
I hear them whisper.
"Yeah, come on Cassie let's leave them alone. We'll come back later Erik."

I don't even acknowledge them, I just keep holding her hand hoping she'll wake up.

And wake up soon.
I hate seeing her like this.
I just want the girl that refused to let me sleep in her room but let me stay even though she could've kicked me out. Easily.

I want my Emily back.
I want to make her mine.
Even if I'm not perfect, even with all my faults, I don't want to lose my nameless girl again.
I love her just a little too much now to let her go, even if it's been a short while, even if she's not the same from when we were kids. I love her now whether she wants me to or not. I can't help it.

I just wish she'd wake up soon.
