Draw the Shades and Close the Door (a Vic Fuentes Fanfic)

Chapter 23

~~Vic's P.O.V~~

A month passed and there was no sign of Nina waking up. It was nearing the end of holidays and I prayed everyday that she would wake up and come back to me.

I visited almost everyday and most days someone whether it be Tony, Jaime, Mike or Tess came with me but every now and again I would go by myself and just sit and talk to her holding her hand.

I blamed myself for this and beat myself up over it every night. If I hadn't of told her to jump on Tony's back, none of this would have ever happened. Mike and my parents tried to help me but nothing would make me happy other than Nina waking up. My parents had even been to visit Nina a few times and told her how much I missed her and how much they missed seeing her around the house and told her to wake up for my sake. Nothing made her stir even the tiniest bit. I missed her like crazy, I spent my days moping around the house or staying in my room for days on end. I decided to start training and went running everyday. I wouldn't stop until the pain became absolutely unbearable and I would double over. It was the only thing that took my mind off her. I didn't sleep, I hardly ate and I hardly spoke to anyone. My parents and friends were really concerned but I assured them I was fine. Whether they believed it or not I didn't know. I suppose they didn't.

Today was Saturday and it had been exactly a month since the incident happened. I was going by myself to see Nina today. I had bought her flowers seeing as today was also our 5 month anniversary.

I sat down as usual next to Nina in her hospital room. The bandage on her head had long been removed and she now had less wires sticking out of her. Her heart monitor still beeped evenly behind me but I had become so used to it that I didn't register it. I took Nina's hand and began talking. I talked about all the things and times we had spent together, the time we had argued and I laughed at how pathetic I had been. The time when I first tried to kiss her and the time I thought George was her boyfriend.

'And remember that time when I told you I was out at lunch and you didn't know why and I met you after school and covered up your eyes. I let you open them and I stood against my my car and told you I had passed my driving test and you were so happy for me.'

Nina's heart monitor picked up but I didn't notice.

'and I drove you out of town with the windows down and the music blaring out and we sat up the top of the hill watching the sun set over the buildings and the people rushing around with their busy lives while we just sat and watched peacefully.'

Nina's hand twitched in mine.

'and we lay there until the sun had set an-'

What? Nina's hand had moved?

'NURSE' I shouted and she soon came running into the room. 'She moved her hand! She did, she did!' I exclaimed standing up. A few more nurses and doctors piled into the room as she slowly started to come round.

I couldn't believe it. I had her back.

Well that's what I thought.

~~Nina's P.O.V~~

I could hear someone vaguely talking to me, I couldn't really make sense of their words but what they said filled me with happiness and I had no idea why. My brain was telling me I was happy but I couldn't even make sense of the words. Suddenly I heard the person shout nurse and I wondered why he was doing that. I few people's piled into the room and crowded around me. What were they doing. My eyes grew gradually back into focus and I saw a boy with long brown hair and deep brown eyes standing over me smiling and crying with joy. I had no idea the fuck why? I didn't even know him? Well, I sort of recognised his features but I couldn't put a name to his face so he clearly didn't mean that much too me. Not gunna lie though, he was hot.
