Reunited!

Eva's POV
I wake up to the sound of my alarm clock going off. It's 6:00 am on Friday! I look at my phone and realize today is the one month mark since Alyson went into a coma. I've been visiting her once a week. I wish I could see her more but I'm really busy. Every night I've cried because I feel as if her injuries are my fault. She has a broken rib, leg, wrist, and her treatment for waking up is unresponsive. I get up and throw on grey sweatpants and a white v-neck t-shirt. I slip on my white converse and head out for school.

Hunter's POV
Today I'm going to visit Alyson. No one knows but I've bee going everyday since she got hit. I throw on some light wash ripped jeans and slip my Rowland-Bling hoodie over my head. I lace up my maroon vans and head to the hospital. As I'm walking I hear foot steps behind me. I instantly turn around feeling the presence behind me. As I see her my eyes widen.

"Hi Hunter." she says nervously.

"Umm hey... Victoria." I say scratching the back of my head.

Victoria is the girl I met at the airport with Alyson. We started talking and she's really nice and cute, but I stopped texting her after my birthday.

I look up at her because I am staring at my shoes and realize she's staring straight at me. Instantly she darts her eyes away from mine. I smile remembering how cute she is.

"I'm sorry I haven't texted you back!" I blurt out not thinking.

She smiles. "It's fine, what happened?" she asks.

"Well some things happened with my sister and I haven't fully recovered from it." I say quietly.

"Well are you going to go see her?" she asks.

"Umm yeah. But it's not wh....." she cuts me off.

"Well I will come with you." she states walking over to my side.

She slips her hand into mine and looks up as me. Shocked, my mouth is open, formed into an O shape. She immediately takes her hand away from mine and looks down at the ground. I intertwine our fingers again and smile at her. We walk to the hospital together in a comfortable silence.

At the hospital she gives me a quick glance then looks away. I walk up to the counter and ask if I can see Alyson. They lady tells me to go on up and we head over to her room. As we walk over there I never unlock Victoria and I's fingers. As we walk into Alyson's room Victoria gasps at her pale, limp body. I let go of her hand and walk over to the side of Alyson's bed.  I grab her hand and start to talk to her about my day so far. And then it hits me.

She can't hear me, see me, or feel what I'm feeling. This is my fault, if I didn't push her out of my life she wouldn't have run out of my house that day. She wouldn't be here if it weren't for me.

As I hear someone get up. I look up to see Victoria at the door talking to Eva. I realize that my eyes are red and puffy from my unnoticed crying. I wipe away my tears and greet Eva.

"Hi Hunter." she says her voice cracking.

"Hi.." I say.

We both break into tears hugging each other. We stand there for a good ten minutes not even caring how were hugging each other. Right here, right now, all we care about is Alyson waking up and we don't know when that will happen.
