Take Me to the Moon

Chapter 17: Amanda's POV

-Two and a Half Months Later-

I didn't know how long I was asleep, but I could hear everyone around me. I wanted to cry, to scream, anything. I couldn't tighten my hand around anyone's hand. I could feel tubes going Down My throat and IVs being changed.

"Please, stop making her suffer." I heard Ashes say. On god, no, please no. I wasn't afraid of death but not yet. I was finally making my dreams true and had a good life.

"I can't. Not yet." I heard Becca say. I wanted to scream and tell her to just do it. O couldn't talk or let them know I could hear.

"It's been two and a half months. It'll be ok." I knew it was killing him to say that. I remembered someone saying before that they tried to take me out of the medical coma, but it didn't work. I mind as well have been pronounced dead. I tried hard to make Becca know I would be ok, that I wouldn't really leave.

With a shaky voice, she said, "I-I'll get a nurse." I could hear footsteps coming into my room. Four were male, two were my sisters. I didn't hear the nurse or doctor come in.

"I have to ask," Dr Cuddy started. "Are you sure about this?"

"Yes." Becca said shakily.

My feeding tube was the first to be taken out, then my breathing. Memories flashed by quickly. Homesickness overwhelmed me and all I wanted was to open my eyes. The machines were all turned off next. I heard sobs from my family, knowing they'd all be told I was gone. It took everything in me to force my lungs to breath, but it wouldn't work.

"Por favor, vuelve a nosotros. Te quiero." I heard Ashes whisper into my ear, kissing my forehead. Tears fell and I knew he wasn't the only one. I couldn't do anything, I was lost and I couldn't make it through this.

"I'm very sorry, we lost her." Dr Cuddy said after trying to take my pulse.

"Give us a few minutes please." Becca asked. I could feel my heart ache, trying to force my body to start working again. I didn't mean to fall, I didn't want to be on that damn ledge. "Sis, please!" She begged. "Don't you dare die on us."

I was trying not to. I felt her grab hold of my other hand. I felt my lungs take in air, it felt like fire. My heart beating hurt my chest. I still couldn't make myself open my eyes, but I could tighten my hand on Becca's.

"Nala?" She asked in shock. "Nala, can you hear me?" I tried to nod, not able to find my voice. "Stay with us ok? Squeeze once if you can do that." I squeezed once. "Do you know why I am?" I squeezed her hand once again.

It took me almost twenty minutes to open my eyes. "Where am I?" I asked softly.

"The hospital." Ashes said gently, moving so he was sitting on the bed as well.

"Hunny...please don't tell me you've been sleeping here."

"We both have." Becca said softly.

"And we pushed Warped Tour back. We weren't leaving our sister." Davey said from the foot of my bed.

"What? No! You guys can't...you have to go through with the tour. I can't let you push everything back just because of me." I started to argue.

"You know Ashes wouldn't have been able to perform right? Besides, they understand and before you ask, the fans understand too." Drayven butted in.

"More like they probably hate me." I said in a whisper.

"Welcome to the life of dating someone in a band." Esther said. "Glad you're awake."

"Thanks." I said with a weak smile as Dr Cuddy walked back into my room.

"You're a miracle, girl." She said with a chipper voice.
