Chapter 16

~Troye's POV~

it's been almost a week. A week without seeing his bright smile and hearing his cute giggle. I think I'm starting to go insane. The doctor had said he would wake up in a few days and it's been 6 days since the accident. I haven't left his side unless it was to get food or coffee or to go the the bathroom. His condition is still unchanged and at first glance you wouldn't think he wasn't getting better if it weren't for the fact that his cheeks were starting to gain a little bit of colour back. Sometimes, when I would touch or kiss him his heart monitor would speed up slightly giving me a little bit more hope.

Glancing over to the clock I notice it's 3pm and nobody has come to visit yet which is strange. They are usually here by 2 the latest. I check my phone and don't see any texts from anyone so I decide to text Tyde.

•Text convo•

Troye: Where are you guys? Your usually here by now.

Tyde: decided to stay home today. Sorry we forgot to tell you. Just let us know if any changes occur.

Troye: Kk ttyl

(TEXT TALK MAKES ME CRINGE BUT I HAD TOO)

•End of text convo•

I plug my phone back in and lean back in my chair examining his flawless face. Most of the cuts and bruises on his face have gone down and are hardly noticeable now but my heart clenches knowing that I'm the reason he's in a hospital bed right now. My eyes start to water but I push the tears back and take a sip from my water bottle. I set it back down on the floor beside me and get up to sit on the edge of his bed. Grabbing his hand I kiss each one of his knuckles while watching is his angel like face. I repeat this on his other hand and gasp loudly when one of his fingers tightened around my hand briefly but left so quick I couldn't tell if I was imagining it. I continue kissing his hands seeing if I can get this reaction out of him again but became frustrated when he didn't move.

I decided to go get a coffee when I suddenly realized how tired I really am. I make my way to the elevators pressing the button for the level the cafeteria is on. Walking towards Starbucks I smell all of the food around me also deciding I was hungry too. After getting a coffee I decided on getting a sub from subway. Making my way back up to the room with my drink and food, I get this weird feeling. I hurry back to the room incase something had happened to Tyler. I'm slightly relived to see him still in the same spot he was before I left but also disappointed that he still hasn't woken up.

I sit down and start munching on my sandwich. About halfway through it, his heart monitor picked up. I sat up straight looking over to him not even finishing chewing the bite that was in my mouth in fear of missing something. Putting my sandwich on the small table beside me, I get up and walk over to his bed. To my surprise, his hands were warm and his finger moved slightly when I picked up. Immediately reaching over for the call Doctor button when I remembered what the doctors had instructed when we first arrived. Just as I was about to press the button, I heard him groan quietly. I dropped my hand back to my side watching him closely. His eyes opened for a brief second before closing again due to the bright lights. I wrapped my fingers in between his before whispering his name.

"T-tilly?" His brows come together in confusion upon hearing my voice and he slowly opened his eyes looking at me with wide eyes. "Oh my god Tilly I missed you so much I never thought you'd wake up but here you are! Here we are. Please forgive me I love you so much! This is all my fault I put you in the hospital and I hate myself for it but please forgive me I don't know what I'd do if you didn't.." I rambled. Somewhere in there I had started crying too. He still looked confused so I took a step back. After what felt like a million years, he finally spoke.
