Water Tower

Chapter 34

*MICHAEL'S P.O.V.*

"It's been two weeks." Amanda says, "You've been in this damn coma for two weeks. It feels longer than that. I know I've lied to you. I told you I wouldn't leave your side, but I have, but not for a long time." That doesn't matter, as long as you're here when I wake up. "Weird things is, I was told that everyone in this hospital is rooting for you. They said that we're the most cutest couple that has ever walked foot in here." She laughs. God, I love that laugh. 

I've been trying so much to get better. To wake up, but I'm kind of losing hope in myself. I can tell in Amanda's voice, that she is starting to lose hope too. I just don't know what to do. I want to wake up, but I just can't.

"The doctors said that you're stable. Not doing any bad or any good." The sadness in her voice. I really need to get better.

"Hey." Luke's voice booms in the room.

"Hey Luke." She says. 

"Do you need to go get something? Catch up on any sleep? Take a shower?" Luke asks.

"Actually, I do need a shower." She says. 

"I'll stay here." Luke says.

"I'll use the one in his room. If anything happens, bang on the door, please." She says.

"Yeah, of course." Luke says. Amanda, don't leave me alone with Luke.  COME BACK MANDY!

It's quiet. The only noise is from the water running. 

"I don't know if you can hear me, but I just want you to get better. Why'd you do it?" Oh great, here we go again. "I mean, you were gone for months. I should've known when you showed up at that party that there was something wrong. I should've stopped you. I should've gotten you the help you needed right when you started using." That took an unexpected turn. "I'm sorry Michael." I feel a weight on my arm. Is he crying? "Come on, man!" He places his hand in mine. Can I? I try to squeeze me hand. "What the hell?" Luke says, letting go. I guess it worked. "AMANDA!" Luke yells. "HURRY AND GET OUT." Someone is excited. "DOCTOR KING! IT'S MICHAEL! HE SQUEEZED MY HAND!"

"Luke's what's going on?" Amanda's voice fills the room. 

"Michael, squeezed my hand!" Luke says, excitedly.

"Seriously?" Amanda asks.

Fucking finally.

*AMANDA'S P.O.V.*

"What's going on?" Doctor King ask, rushing in with nurses behind him.

"Michael. He squeezed my hand." Luke rushes.

"Oh my." Doctor King says, going over to Michael's bedside. He grabs Michael's hand. "Michael, it's Doctor King, could you squeeze my hands like you did with your friend? Yes. Quite a squeeze he has there." 

"What does this mean?" I ask.

"He could wake up soon, but he may not be able to talk for awhile. He'll be over to mover his eyes and move his fingers and stuff. We'll be doing a lot of test to check his brain activity." Doctor King says. I look over at Michael and notice his eyes are open.

"Doctor, his eyes are opened." I say, walking over to the other side of his bed. "Hey Michel." A small smile appears on his face.

"I can't believe this!" Luke says, coming over and standing next to me.

"I have a feeling he probably over heard what I said." Doctor King said, which earned another smile from Michael. "So, we're going to go ahead and run an MRI on him and see what's going on in there." He says.

"Okay." I say, not taking my eyes off of Michael's. "I'll be here when you get back." I say. I watch them roll his bed out the door.

A/N

Okay, I probably got some things wrong. I don't know much about comas. I did look some things up to try to be as correct as possible. Remember, this is a fanfiction. So, I just want to say thank you so much for reading! It means a lot!! Sadly, this is about over. :( I know, sad face. I'm still debating on if I want to add a sequel or not. I'll let you know. So thanks for reading and I will try to update again as soon as possible! 

I love you!

Michael loves you too!
