Mamaw's POV:

I rushed out of the truck before Tommy could even bring it to a stop. I ran straight into the emergency area to find tons of nurses trying to calm me so they could figure out what I was saying.

"Thomas Luther! I'm here for Thomas Luther and his girlfriend Caroline Boyer!" I said out of breath.

"Ma'am we need you to take a seat and calm down Mr.Bryan and Ms.Boyer are in for surgery and won't be out for another hour." A woman dressed in pink scrubs told me.

All I could do is sit there and wait the time seemed to slow down in the waiting room. I was stuck crying into Tommy's arm the whole time.

"Mr. and Mrs.Bryan may I speak to you?" The same lady in the scrubs asked.

Tommy and I approached her worried as we've ever been.

"Thomas and Caroline are doing just fine at this moment, they just finished up their surgeries. Thomas had to have his elbow fixed up a bit due to the fact that parts of his bones were everywhere except where they should've been. He also had a plate put into his collarbone because it had snapped in half and another in his left leg for the same reason. He was lucky this time if he would've been hit any harder impact his rib cage could've caved into his lungs he survived with only 2 broken ribs and has a small concussion. " Just as the nurse was explaining the reasons behind Thomas' surgeries a woman burst through the doors the same way I did an hour ago.

"Caroline Boyer?! Is she alright?!" The woman asked pleading for an answer.

I walked over to her.

"Hi I'm LeClaire, Luke's mother they're both doing just fine." I said pulling her into a hug. Just as I did the nurse cut me off.

"Actually ma'am Ms.Boyer's condition is a lot worse than Thomas'. Caroline has 4 broken ribs, a broken pelvis, along with a mild concussion and may have amnesia when she wakes, worst of all she's in a coma." She told us.

Caroline's mother began crying hysterically.

"You'll be aloud to visit them in just a moment." The nurse told us.

Luke's POV:

My eyes slowly opened up, it hurt to even look straight. I didn't know where I was. My first sight was Mamaw looking at me.

"Luke you're awake." She said leaning down to kiss my forehead

Everything hurt from head to toe. My chest felt like it had been stabbed over and over. I took a deep breath which was huge mistake because that agonizing pain in my chest grew bigger.

"Where's Caroline." I asked Mamaw in a weak voice not even caring about the condition I was in.

Mamaw pointed to the left of me. What I saw hurt me more than all of these stupid pains running throughout my body. My eyes flooded with tears at the sight of Caroline hooked up to multiple breathing machines.

"Caroline." I whimpered.

"Thomas honey she's in a coma." Mamaw looked into my eyes I could see the pain she was in too.

Not even thinking I sat up straight and tried to get up and walk towards the love of my life.

"Luke you need to lay down. I knew you'd try and pull a stunt like that, that's why we had her moved into your room so you can be by her." Mamaw told me.

Pa and Daniel pushed me and Caroline's beds closer together so I could hold her lifeless feeling hand. A tear fell from my cheek.

"Caroline baby please wake up." I said gripping her hand, I didn't care that my elbow was hurting from holding it. I was gonna do it regardless.

Everyone went to go get lunch so I could calm myself down and get some rest. I found it hard to sleep without my baby wrapped around in my arms. Finally I found a way I limped my way into her bed and held her carefully knowing she just had pelvis surgery.

I was asleep for almost 5 hours before hearing the doctor coming in to check on us.

"How are you feeling Mr.Bryan? The doctor questioned.

"Terrible." I responded honestly.

"Can you tell me what hurts most so I can get you some medicine."

"My medicine may never wake up." I said quietly.

"Sir there's a tiny 2% chance that Ms.Boyer may never wake up but a 98% chance she will just give her some time. Is there anything else I could get for you at this moment?" The doctor asked.

"I'm fine." I said shutting my eyes.

I couldn't sleep the whole night I felt the need to puke every five minutes. I wanted to throw a fit on the ground I wanted to scream and punch holes in the wall I wanted to kick down doors. I wanted to try and try and try to get her to wake up in any way I could. But I was incapable of doing any of those things.

"Caroline love, I just need you to try. I'm trying as hard as I can to not break down but I'm headin there. I need to see those beautiful eyes of yours and that white smile. I need you to help me help you." I said taking slow breaths.

"I miss you. Please come back to me. Just keep holdin on." I told her

I leaned over and kissed her lips. I closed my eyes remembering the feeling I got when her lips kissed me back. I was at my last resort of calming myself down singing. I've been working on a song about Caroline called Roller Coaster. I took in some air and began to sing.

She had a cross around her neck
And a flower in her hand
That I picked from the side of Thomas Drive
On our way to the sand
We found an old wooden chair
Still warm from the sun
Pushed it back, gave me a kiss with Bacardi on her lips
And I was done
And we spent that week wide open
Upside down beside the ocean
I didn't know where it was goin'
Just tryin' to keep my heart on the tracks
I should've known that kind of feelin'
Would last longer than that week did
Blown away and barely breathin'
Sunday came and it was over
Now she's got me twisted
Like an old beach roller coaster.

I felt her hand squeeze mine. I just thought it was my mind playin tricks until her eyes slowly began to open.
