Blinded By Love (A Danny Phantom Love Story and Fan Fiction)

Chapter 16

"Coma!? B-but she c-can't be in a coma!" I started to panic.

"Sorry man." The doctor dismissed as he left shortly.

"N-no... This can't be happening right now!" My breathing hitched and picked up. Tears welled up in my eyes. I balled up my fists and slammed them on a nearby coffee table. A few tears had already cascaded down my cheeks.

"Why?..." I threw myself onto the coffee table and sobbed silently to myself.

After sobbing for a good 5 minutes, I wiped away a few of my tears, sniffling. I went up to Rose's bed and pulled up a stool beside her.

"This is all my fault.." I sobbed. "Take me instead..just-just leave Rose.." I looked at Rose with tear-filled eyes. I reached over for her hand gently. Her hand was clasped into a fist... almost like she was holding something.

Her hand softened from my touch. I took that as an opportunity to unfold her fingers from her fist.

"Danny...you're going to be okay..I promise.." She looked at me with wistful tears in her eyes.

I weakly turned to face her. "Would you hold this for me, please?" I said as I reached into my pocket and pulled out the blue and gold plated class ring my dad had given me.

"But why-" She held her hand close to her heart as she looked at the ring resting in the palm of my hand.

"Just hold it for me, Rose. Please." I said as I felt the weight of my eyelids shutting on me.

The last thing I saw was the class ring leaving my hands and entering hers.

In the palm of my hand was the class ring. She still had it? I took the ring from her hand and put it away in my pocket. I held onto her hand. "Rose, if you can hear me, squeeze my hand..." I waited a few minutes to no avail.

"Rose, I-" She suddenly squeezed my hand. Instinctively, the corners of my mouth curled into a smile. "Okay, uhm, let's establish some communication. One squeeze means yes and two squeezes mean no." She squeezed once to confirm. "Rose...I'm so glad you can hear me. This-this is all my fault..I'm so sorry." I looked away as my voice began to waver. My eyes fixated towards the wall as tears welled up again in my eyes.

"I'll find a way to get you out of this coma, Rose." I said with strong determination conquering my voice. "I'll do whatever it takes. Whether it kills me or not." I was about to say more, until I heard my watch's alarm go off.

It was already 10pm. "Rose, I-I have to go..I promise I'll be back tomorrow after school." She squeezed my hand one last time before I took off. Seeing no one around, I let the familiar light blue rings surround me as I transformed from Fenton into Phantom in a flash of bright light. I set trajectories for back home.

*****

Rose's parents were devastated. When they heard the news that their one and only daughter had gone into a coma state, they couldn't take it.

They broke down just like how I had. "We know how much she meant to you, Danny.." Her parents both engulfed me in a bear hug.

"I'm sorry this had to happen, Mr. and Mrs. Williams.." I melted into the hug. This was probably the first time my heart was actually wishing it were dead.

"We're sorry too." They let go.
