Savior - An Ed Sheeran Fanfiction - Part 5

Autumn's P.O.V.
All I remember was pain. Horrible, excruciating pain coursing throughout my entire body. And that was before I completely blacked out. I awoke in a hospital. I couldn't see anything, because my eyes wouldn't focus, but I could tell that it was a hospital because of it's smell. I could see fuzzed out bits of color. I could hear someone trying to talk to me, but I couldn't make out what they were saying, or even what the voice really sounded like. When I crossed my eyes I could just make out three blurred faces hovering above mine. Two of them I could immediately label as my parents, but the third one was a little less familiar. He had ginger hair, but my eyesight was so blurry that I couldn't make out his face. Then I blacked out again.

When I woke up again I had my vision back, but I couldn't believe what I saw. The first thing my eyes focused in on was Ed Sheeran. Yep. I said it. Edward Christopher Sheeran. I closed my eyes and opened them again. He was still there, sitting about ten feet away, quietly strumming on his guitar. I try to sit up, "Wha...what?"

Ed notices that I'm awake and rushes over, "Shhhhh...Don't try to sit up." He whispered in his perfect British accent. I listen and put my head back down. "So, Sleeping Beauty is finally awake?" He cracks a smile.

It takes me a minute to register what he said and then even longer to figure out how to talk again. "I...I guess. Wha...Why?"

He pauses a minute, then answers me, "Well, I know that this is a lot to take in right now, but at the concert, you kind of, ummm, you know, passed out, and, yeah, stopped breathing, so I kinda jumped off the stage and gave you CPR and the nurse said that it...ummm...saved your life." He stares at me with his perfect blue eyes, waiting to see my reaction. I stay silent, letting it all sink. "So yeah, I'm Ed, but I think you already knew that," he noted, nodding towards my shirt, his ginger hair falling into his face as he does. "What's your name?"

I open my mouth a couple of times, thinking of what to say. I whisper, "I'm Autumn. You really did save my life?" He nods. Staring up at him, you mouth the words, 'Thank You'. "Why did I pass out, Ed? Is there something seriously wrong with me? And where are my parents? And my friend, Felicity? Are you going to stay?" Ed answered everyone of my questions as well as he could. "The doctors diagnosed what was wrong, but they weren't going to tell me until you were awake. Your parents are In the cafeteria. Felicity is at home, it was too much for her to handle. And I plan on staying until at least I know that you are going to be alright."

Then the doctor came in. "Ahh... Ms. Philips, I am here to break the news, if you don't mind." I didn't like how he said, 'Break the news.' My hand subconsciously grabbed Ed's. I gulped. "You started out with a brain tumor...and leukemia. But the cancerous cells from your blood spread to the tumor in your brain, and, well, in short, you now have both blood cancer and a cancerous, growing tumor in your brain, which is pushing up against the parts of your brain that send signals to other organs, which can actually lead to organs completely shutting themselves down. At the moment you have about a 35% survival rate. I'll leave you to ahh... Let that sink in."
