Wake Me With The Morning Light (ON HOLD)

Chapter 9

For my dearest friend, Coti, Taybrison Happy Birthday Coti!

Sawyer's POV

After the crash, Akane was taken to the hospital by the ambulance. Akane, Skyler, and Dad were the only ones injured bad enough to be sent to the hospital. Aric, Mom and I were ok. Just large bruises and scrape marks here and there. But Akane and Dad are the only ones that haven't woken up yet. The car had impacted on the side they were sitting on so it was expected but we never thought it would be this bad. According to the doctors they are both in a coma. We just hope they won't give up yet. Not now. Right now I'm heading over to the room they're in. I heard that when your in a coma, you can hear bits of what is said outside. I intend to talk to them, hopefully help them wake up or something like that. It sounds stupid but it's our only hope. Walking up to dad I see that Aric is already there talking to Akane and Mom is talking to Dad. Skyler crouched down and whispered something in Akane's ear and squeezed her hand. He then walked over to mom and tried to comfort her but they were both crying. Aric gave me a knowing look and walked over to join mom, Skyler and dad. I walked over to Akane and held her hand tight. "Hey." I whispered weakly, "you can't give up now. Just because your in a coma doesn't mean you get to stop living!" I whispered in a slight lecture and my hands tensed up. Softening my grip, I murmur, "Would you like me to sing you a song? I knew you always loved Moving the Sky..." Tears streamed down my face like a river but I didn't bother wiping them away. Trying to take a steady breath, I began,

"I've been sleeping
for the past few days
I've been dreaming
of waking up
To the sun
But my sun's not coming up
And my world has turned
dark

And I wonder
If it will ever be the same
And I wonder
If I'll see the sun again

Wonder if my sun
will ever come
Wonder if this moon
Will ever fall

I've been sleeping
For the past few days
Mans it's been raining
For the past few days
And there's thunder
Outside
The winds blowing so hard
It's moving the sky

And my streams have turned
Into rivers
And my streets have turned
Into streams

Wonder if my sun
Will ever come
Wonder if this moon
Will ever fall"

By the end of the song, my tears practically for,med a puddle on her hospital gown. I looked up at her closed eyes. She looked so peaceful, so sweet. I wondered what was going on in that little head of hers. I collapsed down onto Akane pulling her into a warming hug and planted a kiss on her forehead. I wiped my tears on my sleeve and went over to dads resting bed. After all of us said our words, but hopefully not our last, we left with bloodshot eyes and tear stains on our cheeks. Reluctantly getting into the car, we didn't say a word to each other, only leaning against one another, small tears still rolling down. By the time we got to the farm, we had stopped crying but still hurt so much inside. You could tell mom was probably hurt the most. Her daughter and husband both stuck in a coma. She knew how it felt to truly love, to truly be loved by someone that's not just in your family. We didn't. That's why she hurt so much. We entered the house and all silently went to our rooms. Not in a punished way, but a scared way. Scared for what would happens to our dad, our sister even adopted, it felt like she was with us forever. As I trudged to my room, I laid down on my bed and looked across from me. Akane's bed was there, empty and cold, motionless and soulless. Small tears rolled down my cheeks and I screamed into my pillow. Why us?!? Why them?!? Thoughts alike dashed through my mind and I screamed into my bed like a mad man. I could see mom crying at doorway, watching me break down in sobs and wails. She sat on bed and pulled me into a comforting hug, planting kisses on my head. I felt her chin rest on my head and I cried into her. I looked up at mom and she gave me a weak smile back. I could see Aric standing at the doorway and our eyes met for a moment. He flashed a sign of concern and I tried to smile reassuringly back. He nodded his head towards my direction and left. After mom left my room too, I looked at the clock. "11:51 PM" I decided I needed to get some sleep. I tucked myself in bed but my eyes trailed across from me again. A sense of loneliness washed over me and an expression of hurt crossed my face. I couldn't take it. I walked over to her bed and got in. Her smell surrounded me. I tucked my hand underneath her pillow and found a price of paper beneath. I took it out and looked at it. It was the note I first gave her when I took her in the first night. A wave of nostalgia swiped me over as my eyes drooped down and I fell asleep. The note clutched close to my heart.

Cheesy and sad chapter eh? Well yeah. Kinda what I was shooting for. I decided that I will be continuing the story and keeping the plot. I hope you won't mind the inaccuracy of how it should be in reality and I'm really sorry for not updating sooner. Thanks for reading and again, Happy Birthday Coti! 😊❤️🎊🎁🎀🎂🎈
