Hollywood Heights

Chapter 11

Melissa walks into Loren's hospital room and she sees Eddie sleeping in the chair next to Loren's bed. He is holding her hand, he looks really bad though. Eddie hasn't left the hospital since they brought Loren in two weeks ago. Although Loren had survived the accident she still hadn't woken up. The day after Loren was brought into the hospital in New York the doctor had given them the results of Loren's tests. She had many broken bones some of which she had operated she had a couple of cuts that the doctors had stitched up. The stitches had come out and the surgeries were successful. the doctor said that her brain looked healthy and it was only a matter of time until she would wake up. It would still be a long road in terms of physical therapy but the doctor said she should be able to go back to LA in time to graduate high school if only she would wake up. They were also told that as there was no damage done to her vocal cords she should be able to continue her career once she was strong enough. Nora and Max had gone back to LA a week after the accident. Adam had come to New York to look at NYU so Melissa stayed in New York with Eddie. 

Eddie: Melissa, high i didn't hear you come in, how long have you been here for?

Melissa: Hi Eddie, i was here for almost an hour already.

Eddie: Why didn't you wake me?

Melissa: You were finally sleeping, i know how hard it's been for you to sleep these last couple of weeks so when i saw you asleep i didn't want to wake you.

Eddie: Thanks Melissa, I am really glad that Loren has you as her best friend. So you're going back home tomorrow?

Melissa: Yeah Eddie, i'm sorry i would really love to stay here with you but i have finals coming up and i can't miss any more school.

Eddie: Don't worry about it Melissa. 

Melissa: Eddie, do you think she will ever wake up? We have been by her side for two weeks straight we keep talking to her and yet she hasn't moved a muscle in two weeks.

Eddie: You know, i have been thinking about that two but i can't let myself loose hope in her. She will wake up Melissa, i promise. I love her, there is no way she would leave me.

All of a sudden some of the machines that Loren is connected to start beeping. The doctors come running in.

Eddie: What is going on?

Doctor: Her heart is racing.

Eddie: How bad is that?

Doctor: Actually it's a god sign, it means that she heard what you were saying and she got excited. Can you come here and continue talking to her tell her things that will trigger her emotions, hopefully she will wake up sometime today or tomorrow.

Eddie and Melissa are in total shock Melissa breaks the silence first.

Melissa: Eddie, maybe you should tell her how you really feel about her tell her exactly what you told me. 

Eddie: About our future?

Melissa: i know you wanted to surprise her with it but if it will wake her up its worth skipping out on the surprise.

Eddie: Your right Melissa.

Just then Loren's eyes fluttered open, Eddie saw and ran over.

Eddie: Loren, your awake finally.

Eddie hugs Loren.

Loren: Oow.

Eddie: Sorry, Lo, i'm so sorry! i'm just so excited that you are finally awake. Loren i've been worried sick about you for so long i'm just so happy to have you back here with us.
