"Because I love you!" He ends turning away. My rant stops and my eyes go blank and curious.
"That's why you wouldn't tell me..." I realize. I fall into a hug with him.
"I'm sorry, I needed to vent." I cry. Luckily the only one awake was Emily. Soon the others were notified about Emmettes status.
"The doctors will attempt to wake him up on Sunday at 11, if that doesn't work, he will stay in a coma until further notice." The nurse alerts us. We are not allowed to visit him for a couple days. You never know how much you miss something or someone until its gone.
---------------------------------------------- Sunday morning is just around the corner. I hope and pray Emmette will wake up. I have ignored every text, call, message or tweet I got today. I don't feel like talking. its Saturday night at 7:58 pm and I haven't spoken a single word since this time yesterday. Emmette won't wake up tomorrow, I've excepted that. I won't except the lives Brian changed. He killed 4 people. None of my friends would ever feel safe like kids again. 7 kids never get to feel like kids again. 11 lives forever altered, not including friends and family. I stretch out on my yoga ball upside down and looked through my old pictures. 'Look how happy I used to be. My fate was changed forever.'
I wake up at 6:47 in the morning, on my beanbag chair. 'I fell asleep.' I sit up and scroll through my phone. 16 text messages, 4 Facebook messages.
'Today's the day.' I think to myself. I sigh and sit up and do my hair. Once I get out of the shower, I blow dry my hair, then get dressed. It's now 8:45 am. I make myself breakfast and text Kaylee and Amanda to come over.
'Omg, ur replying! How are u?' Kaylee texts back. I reply and she agrees to come over. Amanda immediately agrees and they both arrive within the hour.
They greet me with hugs, and they look better than I thought they would.
"Jades Dad should be here in an hour to pick us up." I say at 9:30. We watch The voice for almost an hour before the doorbell rings, it's Jade.
"Hey, c'mon lets go," she hugs me and says with a bit of a cute raspy voice. Why is everyone handling this so much better than me?
-------------------------------------------------------------
10:52 I waited for the news. 'Please wake up. Please, please wake up.' Everyone else, but Emily meets us here, and we comfort eachother. They make me feel like I am over reacting way to much, but if they were in my shoes they would understand. It's not that they didn't care, they did a lot, but I almost took three lives, possibly more. It was a miracle Sam lived, what about Emmette? Two miracles don't just happen. I check my phone, it was 11:00 on the dot.
15, 20, 35, 40 minutes passed before the doctor and Emmettes family emerged from his room. The nurse followed closely behind and came directly to us.
"Notta, but you can visit him now. I'm sorry, you guys have been through so much." She says patting our shoulders. I stop holding my breath and walk towards his room. Sam comes up behind me, I can tell he's torn. Best friends almost ripped apart twice, he looks- lost. I guess we all are, but his best friend is in a coma. I sit on one of the chairs in the room, and let Sam talk to him alone.
"Savannah, will you- um." I walk towards him, along with Amanda. She pats me on the shoulder and let's me go the way alone.
"Hey Emmette." I smile. "I'm sorry you're in this mess, it should have been me.... We are lost without you bud, please wake up." I ask, and hope. I exchange looks with Sam and sad smile, and he returns it. He starts telling him how he misses him. I feel horrible and hug Sam. Jade comes, and looks incredibly sad. Jade and Emmette were very close as friends, and arguably, more.
After an hour, or more, we leave the hospital, with our hearts in our throats.
Days blur to weeks, which blur to almost a month. 23 days since Emmettes Hazel eyes opened. 23 days since one of his sexual jokes almost offended me. They never offended me, but I miss his cocky attitude. I'm home alone on a Friday night in my room. I'm listening to 'I won't give up.' By Jason Mraz, hoping for a reason to go on.
"When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky's
Or a beautiful sunrise
There's so much they hold." I think of when we all laughed under the sun. That perfect day that ended horribly. We all ha happiness.
"And just like them old stars,
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?" Is this really where I'm supposed to be? Is this what I've come to do?
"Well I won't give up,
On- us
Even if the sky's, get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking on." Maybe I shouldn't give up. If I give up hope, then Emmette may die. If I give up hope, Jade will loose herself. If I give up hope, none of us will regain our happiness.
I listen to the rest of the song, making decisions.
