The Cause of Them

You're Gonna Miss This

(Val's POV)

A bit after Peta left to get Sharna, another doctor appeared. No one bothered to get up and talk with him, everyone was exhausted. "Jenna Johnson's family?" he asks. My heart sinks when I hear her name. Only Mark slowly looks up at him, but no words escape his mouth. "She's fine, but she's in coma."
Relief goes through the room briefly, at least someone's ok. Thank god she's ok, I don't know what I would've done if she hadn't been. She's my other half, she keeps me from going off the deep end.
"Does anyone want to see her?" The doctor asks.
"Me." I say and I stand following behind him down the hospital halls. He stops at a door and says, "She can hear you, but we don't know when she'll wake up."
"Ok, thank you." I reply opening the door. Jenna's state leaves me in a sudden panic, her short brown hair is messy and sticking to her face. She has a breathing machine placed over her mouth. Every few seconds a monitor beeps or whirls. I slide a chair closer to her bed and take her hand in mine.
Remember she can hear you, I tell myself. "Uh Jenna I'm you're ok, I honestly don't know what I would've done if I'd lost you. You're my top priority." I take a deep breath and reach into my pocket, pulling out something I'd planned to keep secret for a bit longer.
I place the small box over her hands and I start talking again, "Bambi, I love you with all of my heart, I wanna spend the rest of my life with you, I wanna have little babies and watch them grow up with you and to grow old with you. Jenna Michelle Johnson if you wake up please say yes and marry me." Tears build in my eyes and I shut my eyes, pressing my head on the bed.
"Yes"
