1 Week and 5 Days Later

Taylor's POV

I'm so worried about Mackenzie. She hasn't woken up yet and the hospital is gonna take her off of life support if she doesn't wake up in 2 days. I'm scared and I've barely been home since the first day I came.

"Taylor, please come home. Just for a few hours. The kids want to see you." Sean says.

"I said I'm not coming home until she wakes up. I know she will. Go away."

"Ok, that's what I'll tell them."

"I don't care, Sean. Mackenzie is my little sister and I will stay with her no matter what. Why don't you tell your wife to come home? She's here too, you know."

"Yes, I know. She has to stay here to make sure you don't do anything stupid."

"I won't do anything stupid. I know you would love it for her to be back to help you with the kids, wouldn't you?"

"Yes, I would but that's not what matters right now."

"Just go away Sean. Leave me alone." He leaves and I put my attention back on Mackenzie.

"Kenzie, please wake up. I love you. You see what you're making me do? Just wake up!"

Mackenzie's POV

I hear Taylor yelling at me and I want to cry because she never yells at me. I still can't do anything and I dot know how long I've been like this. I can't wake up and I can't open my eyes. I can't do anything and it's making me mad. I want to scream!

I try to move, move anything and I notice I can move my hand. Taylor, look at me. I'm moving my hand. Please look! I keep moving my hand for, like, 5 minutes until she notices. I hear her gasp.

Taylor's POV

"Ariana, wake up. She moved her hand. She's alive, she's alive!"

"Taylor calm down, first of all, she's not Frankenstein, second, I'll call the nurse." Ariana prowess the button and I go to hold Mackenzie's hand.

She squeezes it and I gasp again.

"She squeezed my hand."

"That's good. She's making progress." The nurse says, writing something down on her clipboard.

"She's gonna need to make some more progress though."

"Yeah ok, you can leave." She nods and runs out the door and I take Mackenzie's hand again.

"Mackenzie, I know you can do this. So you can wake up, like, now. That would be great. You're putting me through hell, Kenz."

"Watch your mouth, Taylor."

"Shut up, Ariana. I didn't even say anything bad, I meant the place."

"Watch who you're talking to. I'm going home."

"Oh, goodie. I'm sure Sean will be happy. Goodbye."

"Bye." She grabs her purse and leaves the room.

"Now we're alone, Kenz. You can wake up, please."

2 Days Later

Mackenzie still hasn't woken up and she has 10 minutes left on life support.

"Ariana, she can't go. She can't, people love her too much. She has to wake up, now." I keep crying on her shoulder and I can't stop.

"I know, Taylor. You already know I've been through this, but guess what. He didn't wake up. I know Mackenzie's gonna wake up, and you do too."

"Alright, I'm so sorry for doing this but it's time." The nurse comes in and puts her clipboard down.

"No, please. Just a couple more hours?"

"I'm sorry but hospital policy is that everyone gets 2 weeks. I can't break rules."

"She understands." Ariana says.

"No I don't. Why?"

"I'm sorry ma'am. I have to." She goes over to the machine and does everything she needs to do.

I continue to hold Mackenzie's hand until the screen starts flatlining.

"No, no, no, no, no. She can't be gone. Not yet. She's too young."

Mackenzie's POV

What is happening to me? I was imagining when I could finally see Taylor again then everything went black. Finally, a bright white light started shining and someone told me to come here. Then Taylor was crying again and here we are.

I was walking towards the light when something happened. I could feel my heart beating again. I can do everything again, but the problem is, there's a white sheet covering my face.

Taylor's POV

"I'll let you say goodbye." The nurse goes to stand outside the door while I take Mackenzie's hand again.

"I love you Kenz. I'm so sorry this happened to you. I'm sorry you have to to so soon."

"Where am I going? And why is there a sheet covering my face?"

"Mackenzie!" I tear the sheet off of her and see her big eyes staring up at me.

"Ariana, stop crying and come back in here!"

"Wha- Mackenzie? She's alive?"

"Yes I'm alive. Am I not supposed to be?"

"Yes baby, you are supposed to be alive. Nurse, come in here!"

"What happened?"

"She's alive."

"Wow. That's really a miracle. She'll have to stay for testing for about a week."

"I don't care. She's alive!"
