Forget me. Not.

Chapter 11 ~ News & Hospital

(Nathaniel's P.O.V)

It's been almost 6 months since her birthday passed. I haven't spoken to her since, nor has she to be honest.

I was sitting around it my room, nothing to do. My parents were divorced a long time ago now and now I have nothing to do. My friends, well the ones I used to hang out with.. We all got into an argument. It was my fault. I started it, they found out about what I told Luna on her own birthday... Now I do kind of feel bad, knowing I ruined her day.

I miss her.. I have this urge to call her, to see and hear her voice. But I don't do anything. I'm too scared like Blake said during the party. I'm too scared of being rejected.

Being stuck in my own thoughts while listening to music, I didn't even hear or notice my mum shouting my name with tear in her eyes. "Nathaniel! Do you hear me?!"

"Hmm? Oh sorry mum!"

"Nathan.. T-there's something I must tell you. Don't be mad and don't worry we'll go see her if you want to.." Her voice was broken and shaky. Something bad must have happened.

"Mu-" she interrupted me.

"Luna is in the hospital. She's in a deep coma and the doctors are worried she won't wake up. She's been in a horrible car crash and they did everything they cou-"

"We're leaving now! I need to see her!" I shouted. Not caring how loud and violent I was being.

Several hours later we arrived at the hospital. I ran in straight to the secretary and shook her. "Where's Luna?!"

"Please calm down sir. She's in room 484." She looked at me as if I was crazy. I didn't care. She should be used to people acting like this.

I left as soon as she said the room number. I didn't have time to hear her give me instructions on where the room was. I'd rather just get lost and find it myself.

When I finally found the room, I bolted in to only stop in my tracks.

There she lay. Her once beautiful and delicate face was now scarred with many cuts and bruises. Several bandages around different parts of her body. What scared me the most were the tubes and cables attached to her now broken and pale body.

I walked closer, sitting down on an empty chair near her bed. I felt a waterfall of tears about to fall down my face. "I'm such an idiot" I thought out loud.

I grabbed her right hand and intertwined me fingers with hers. Using my other free hand, I caressed the side of her cut face. She looked peaceful, even though she probably was in pain.

Through the silence I heard a small heart beat from a machine. Once I looked up, the tears fell as I couldn't hold them in any longer. I never realised the Machine she was attached to when I walked in.

Just then a lady with a clipboard walked in. "Sir, you must be a friend of Miss Luna's?" I nodded sadly, 'an ex- friend' I wanted to correct her, remembering the conversation me and Luna had a few months ago. "Well I'm sorry to tell you this but we don't think she's gonna make it. She's a strong girl and we did everything we could but the blood loss was too much and her body was too damaged." The lady finished and walked out giving me time to process this.

'She's not gonna make it?' I repeat several times in my head. Soon memorise fly in front of my eyes, making me cry harder.

"I'll still keep that promise" were her last words. I regret everything! I was so stupid! So selfish! If I knew this was gonna happen I would have acted different! I would have changed the future!

But that's the thing, "if only I knew." I repeated but this time out loud and not in my head.

I fell asleep beside her. Memorise still filling my mind. Nothing will be the same. She has to survive. She has to wake up! She just has to! She can't leave!

"I'm sorry.. I'm so sorry.." I heard sniffling. A voice behind me. It sounded just like Luna. But I knew it wasn't. I knew it wasn't her because I was dreaming..
