One Last Kiss

Carter's POV

I'm still in shock to what happened.

It's 7 a.m and Anchor is lying in the hospital bed in a deep sleep.

She hasn't woken up yet.

The doctors say that she suffered a really bad head injury and she lost a lot of blood.

She broke her leg, her wrist, and her shoulder. Along with a severe head injury that caused her brain to bleed.

They don't know if she'll ever wake up.

Which means, I don't know if she'll ever wake up.
And that scares the shit out of me.

What if she doesn't?
What will happen?
My life would fall apart.

I can't lose Anchor, she's my best friend.

I hate her dad. How could he do this to her?

I sit down next to her and hold her hand.

I lay my head down on the side of her bed.

"Anchor please wake up. I can't live without you. I need you to be okay. That may sound selfish because you're the one in this position and you're the one hurting but sitting here waiting for you to open your eyes is the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I need you to be okay and wake up for me. Because without you I'm broken. So please wake up baby. Please." Suddenly tears come streaming out of my eyes and I can't hold it in anymore.

I think to myself...

Why is this happening to her? She's done nothing wrong. It should've been me because I'm the one who hurt Anchor in the first place. She doesn't deserve this, but I do. She doesn't deserve to have to be fighting for her life and she doesn't deserve all the opportunities that will be taken away from her if she doesn't wake up. It's not fair. I need her to wake up.

I'm going to find her dad and I'm going to make him pay because she doesn't deserve to have a father like that.

I sit there for what seems like a lifetime and just stare out the window. Every 2 minutes I stare back at Anchor.

What will happen if she doesn't wake up?

I never even got to say goodbye.

It's hard to believe that all this has happened in the course of 48 hours.

I'm watching the sports center and than I suddenly hear a groan.

"Anchor?"

"Hi." She says softly with trying to smile.

"Oh my god Anchor, thank god." I say running over and giving her a big hug with happy tears falling from my eyes.

"What happened?"

"It's a long story baby," I say "let me get the doctor-"

"Carter."

"Yeah?"

"Kiss me."

I smile and go over and kiss her. "Thank god you're okay I couldn't even imagine what life would be like without you."

"I love you." She says with a faint smile.

"I love you too beautiful."

I don't want to tell her her dad hit her but at the same time I want to kill this guy. Things have gone to far and now he's just fucking crazy.

After the doctor leaves and examine Anchor a little more he says she'll have to stay in the hospital for at least a week more maybe longer. She has a lot of broken bones and he wants to keep her here for observations in her brain.

I'm so thankful that Anchor is okay she is my world and it really pisses me off that her father (someone who is suppose to love her and be there for her) hit her with a goddamn car.

"Anchor, babe? I got to tell you something."

"Yeah?"

"I know who hit you."

"Who?"

"It was your dad." She starts to cry.

"How did he find us?" She questions.

I run over to her and hold her in my arms as she cries.

"I'm going to find him Anchor and I'm going to kill him. I will find him and I will kill him. He almost took you out of this world and that's not fucking okay with me. He's going to pay."

She just cries some more.

I kiss her on the forehead. "You're going to be okay. I promise."

I try to keep all of my tears inside of me as I'm holding a broken girl who's gotten her heartbroken multiple times.
