So how he is" I asked cutting the doctor off. He sighed looking up from the clipboard "I'm sorry but..."
"But what?" Madelyn asked, King mother "He died" Soon as he said that I shut down "Wait He died two times but he came back, his body shut down and now he's in a coma" The doctor added
I wiped my eyes with my finger tips "When can we see him?" I asked "Come back tomorrow. Hezekiah need to rest, I don't want his body to stress" The doctor said before he disappeared behind the doors following behind the nurse
That was five months ago. King still hasn't woken up. The doctors claim he's getting better but if he was getting better he would be awake and laying next to me
His birthday is in a month. By then he should be awake, healthy and back to normal.
I got out my bed doing the same exact routine I've been doing for five months. I walked to the bathroom doing my hygiene which took about fifteen minutes. I put on my clothes that I've picked out the night before.
I grabbed my name tag off the dresser placing it on the front of my shirt. I still have the job at Forever 21. I have no choice, I have to pay all the bills.
I took the keys to the Range Rover off the hook as I walked into the garage.

I pulled into the parking lot of the hospital. After five minutes of looking I found me a parking spot. I pulled the keys out the ignition then I grabbed my purse from the passenger seat
"Good morning" I said to Becca, the receptionist. She looked up from her computer giving me a smile. I walked into King's room placing my purse on the chair in front of the bed
I took a seat feeling my emotions about to come out. My lip tremble as the tears poured down my face. Every time I come in here I promise myself that I'm not going to cry but seeing the love of my life laid up in the bed restless gets to me.
"Shit"I said hearing a knock on the door. I quickly wiped my face getting my appearance together "Come in" I said
"Hey Miss. Sage" King's doctor said entering the room. "Good morning Dr. Redburn" I said. He walked over to King checking him
"King's definitely improving" He said listening to his heart beat. "Do you know when he's going to wake up?" I asked
"That's not up to me. It's up to Hezekiah" He said looking at King. I nodded my head. Dr. Redburn stayed for another five minutes checking King
I leaned down placing a gentle kiss on King's forehead. "I love you." I said. I picked up my purse off of the chair then I walked out the room.
"How's King" Courtney asked as she gave me a hug. "The doctor says he getting better" I put my stuff away in the back room before I got started
I looked at the clock seeing it was 6:45. Only fifteen minutes left. I helped a few more customers before it was time for me to go
I walked out the mall to the parking lot with Courtney. "Alright be safe" She told me as she gave me a hug"
"I will" I said walking away to my car which was a couple cars over from Courtney. I let out a sigh as I turn the key in the ignition.
I stay stressed out 24/7. I don't know When King is going to wake up or that he will ever wake up. I shed a couple of tears before I pulled out the parking lot.
Twenty minutes later I was pulling into the parking lot of the hospital. I grabbed my jacket out the back seat since it was raining. I put the jacket over my head as I ran from the parking lot into the hospital
I folded my jacket as I walked to the elevator. I ran my fingers through my hair making sure I looked good. Hezekiah could wake up at any moment I have to make sure I look good.
I walked into the room placing my stuff down before I walked over to him. I held his hand as I sat next to him.
"Hezekiah you got to wake up for me. Nothing has been the same without you. Everyone miss you. I love you and I miss you."
I sniffed wiping my watery eyes. This has definitely been an emotional time for me
"Stop crying" I heard. I looked up seeing Hezekiah looking at me smiling. "B-Baby" I wrapped my arms around his neck attacking him with kisses.
He wrapped his arms around me placing his hands on my back "Somebody missed me" I pulled back so we could share a kiss
"Damn" He said pulling back licking his lips. I smiled. I walked out the room to get Dr.Redburn. "Well everything is normal. Tomorrow you starting therapy to get your stomach muscles back strong"
"How you feel?" I asked taking a seat back in my chair. "I could be better" He said putting all his focus on the t.v
"Thank God. That you're alive and healthy" I said. He sucked his teeth "I don't want to hear that bull shit right now" Hezekiah said putting his hands under his head closing his eyes.
"Obviously you need to hear it...."
He sat up in the bed "You can bounce if you going to keep talking" Hezekiah said raising his voice.
"I'm not about to deal with your shit" I said gathering my stuff "Bye bye" He said.
I walked to my car trying to hold in my tears."Fuck" I said punching the steering. What the fuck is his problem. I've been holding him down for five months now he wanna act like a dick head but he don't have to worry about me anymore
