You Are All I Need

Chapter 7

Keaton's POV

I was sitting on shore watching Morgan rock a giant wave. She was really amazing, maybe just as good as me maybe even better... I turned my head to see that the boys were watching her just as closely as I was. It made me a little jealous but suddenly, jealousy was the last thing I was going to worry about.

For some reason, Morgan crashed down hard on her second wave. At first the boys and I didn't really think much of it until she came to the surface yelping in pain and disappearing into the water again as a wave crashed down on top of her. My first instinct was to go save her, but I was instantly denied by Drew.

"Dude, stay here and get the car ready. This doesn't look to good." Drew tried staying calm but I could tell he was breaking on the inside so I didn't argue.

I ran as fast as I could to the car and turned on the engine, waiting for what felt like days and months when I finally saw them. Drew was bolting toward the car with the surfbaord in his hands and Wesley was behind carrying and limp and lifeless looking Morgan. I quickly jumped out of the car and waited for directions from the boys.

"Keaton, I need to stay in the back seat with Morgan." Wesley said and he carried her to the back seat. I nodded and jumped in as he placed her body on the back seat, with her head in my lap.

My hand stroked her wet hair. She looked pale and dull, yet still the most beautiful girl in the world. Her face still looked peaceful, but I knew that deep down she was in pain. 

"It's gonna be okay Mo." I whispered in her ear. "I promise" I finished with a single tear running down my face.

Morgan's POV

I heard voices all around me, but I couldn't see anything. Panic started to set in when I didn't understand what was going on to me. I had to calm down and just try and open my eyes that refused against my wanting. That's when I felt someone grab my hand sending a feeling of comfort through out my body.

"Morgan," the familiar voice cooed into my ear. "I'm sorry this had to happen to you. You don't deserve this. Can-can you hear me?" he croaked out.

I tried to squeeze his hand to tell him that I was okay, and that I could hear him but I couldn't. I sceamed at myself inside my head and yelled at myself for not being able to do anything because of  I don't even know what happened to me.

He sighed before continuing what he was saying. "I hope you know that you killed that first wave out there." He tried to chuckle lightly. "Something about you is just so amazing and I realized that the first time I met you, it just took me a while to understand what I was feeling. I just want you to know that I will always be here for you no matter what. Morgan I think I-" He was suddenly cut off by the sound of the door opening. I wanted him to finish what he was telling me. 

"Hows she doing man?" another familiar voice asked. I wanted to jump up and down and scream to them that I'm okay.

"Nothing" the guy holding my hand responded with a sigh. "I'm trying to talk to her but I can't seem to get anything!" 

"The doctor said she should be responding to something soon" the other guy said.

"I, hope, it kills me to see her like this."

I had to do something. I had to show some emotion or just show something to let these guys know that I am okay. With all this frustration built up inside me, a few tears slipped out of my eyes. I heard a gasp and the guy holding my hand tightened his grip. He suddenly removed his hand from mine and wiped away the tears from my face.

"Dude, got tell the doc!" And with that, a door opened and closed again. "Everything is going to be okay!" The guy said, and I could tell that there was a smile on his face by the way he was speaking which caused a smile to form on my lips. YES! I screamed inside my head. I can finally do this, I really am gonna be okay!
