Alex's POV
It's been a week since tobins got shot.

She died once, but they were thankfully able to bring her back. Now she lays here, machines are the only thing keeping her alive as she lays here in a coma.

Hope and I were the worst effected by this shooting. Hope blamed herself for not being there to protect Tobin but I tried to convince her it was definitely not her fault and there was nothing she could've done to prevent it.

It stung to say those words... it hurt so bad to say that you couldn't do anything to prevent this. There's nothing that I could've done to stop my fiancé from getting shot and being put in a coma.

It should've been me... God how I wish it was me instead of Tobin. She has protected me from anything and everything and I should've taken the bullet instead of her.

I sit in tobins room on a chair that I pulled up close to her bed as the doctor comes in.

She checks the steady beep of the monitor and sighs once again, just like she has the past 6 days.

"Ms.Morgan, I'm afraid nothing has changed. You can choose to keep her here in this state, or we can unplug the machines." The doctor says and I shake my head.

"No. Please don't. I need her." I say breaking down but in reality I know she's suffering.

Her skin is no longer it's normal tan, but instead is pale. Her skin is as cold as ice though she is under the hospital sheets and her hands are always sweaty.

"As you wish Ms.Morgan, I'll give you some privacy." The doctor says before closing the door once again.

"Baby please.. I need you to wake up. I need you here. Remember our plans? To get married one day and have kids of our own... Tobin I can't live without you here. Everyday that I can't see those beautiful chocolate brown eyes of yours, is another day of complete torture... You are my world Tobin. And hell, I know I'm being selfish but you're MY fiancé, baby and I don't wanna live another day without you. Please baby, wake up for me, pull through and let me see those chocolate brown eyes.. If you love me please fight to do that baby." I say finally breaking down into sobs as I grab her hand feeling that her palms are sweaty as normal.

"I love you... I'm so fucking sorry this happened to you. It's all my fault. It should've been me." I chocked out after crying for 15 minutes or so.

As I hold her hand in mine, I feel a twitch and I look up seeing her eyes barely open but slowly getting wider as she struggles to adjust to the bright light.

"Tobin! Tobin baby." I say as she scans the room as though she's looking for something and I finally see those chocolate brown orbs I've been dying to see.

I place my hand on her cheek slowly turning her head to face me and her eyes go wide as they start to feel with tears.

"A-a-Alex." She barely gets out then starts coughing violently.

"No no no. Don't speak. Yes baby, it's me okay? I'm going to get the doctor." I say as I give her hand a reassuring squeeze running outside to get the doctor.

As soon as I find her, I rush her back to Tobins room as she gasps in surprise and has a smile on her face.

"Ms.Heath, glad to see that you're awake, it's a miracle that you're alive. But I'm glad to see you're awake." The doctor says writing something on her notepad.
