My Brother's Best Friend

I Promise You

Last Time//

"You're an idiot." I replied as he walked out the door."

"Oh I know but you're an idiot too since you thought it was a good idea to be friends with me." He laughed shutting the door behind him.

I rolled my eyes and looked down at Paige before standing up, "Maybe it was." 

Present Time//

Omniscient's POV:

It's been almost two months since Paige has been in a coma, and there's still no signs of when she's gonna wake up. Chase has been visiting her for three days out of each week and when he wasn't visiting her, he was either at home playing video games or working out. However that normally never lasted long since Ryan, Kyle, and Ashlyn had brought it upon themselves to make it a job to pop up out of nowhere everyday and question Chase about his feelings for Paige.

Chase's POV:

I walked into the hospital and took the elevator straight to the floor Paige was being held in. After a while of all of us coming to check on her, the workers there just gave us our own passes so we wouldn't have to go into the hassle of signing in all the time. 

The elevator dinged a few seconds later the metal doors opened to the sixth floor only a few doors away from Paige's room. Today was the one of the rare days when Ryan, Ashlyn, and Kyle didn't come with me to visit Paige so I was gonna make the best of it.

 I stepped out of the elevator and walked down the hall and stood outside her door that was slightly agape and knocked on the door anyways. I waited for the doctor to acknowledged my presence and let me in before walking inside.

I stood in the corner of the room and waited for him to finish examining Paige before I spoke. "Hey, would you mind if I could a minute with her?" 

He looked up from his clipboard then glanced at Paige before looking back at me, "I'm going to need to check on her again soon but until then why not. And if you're planning on telling her anything nows the time she might be able to hear you if you're lucky, but if anything happens let us know immediately she is showing signs of waking up soon. " 

I nodded in response and waited for him to leave before sitting in the chair next to her. I sat there and just stared at her and just took in how beautiful she really was and how I couldn't believed I never noticed it before. 

I realized how lucky I was to have had someone as beautiful as Paige in my life. When I first met her she was just Ryan's annoying little sister who was always following us around and pestering everyone. 

Back then I just thought she was cute because I'd be lying if I said she wasn't cute then, but I guess when she started gaining weight I didn't really pay attention to her beauty and more to her weight.

I never considered her all that fat though, even though me and the guys did like to mock her because of her weight because Ryan always knew we were just playing around, overweight would've described her better but it didn't make for as good as an insult as fat joking or not.

I'll admit I did like her a little but I didn't want anyone to find out, but thinking about it now I realize I should've asked her out anyways. 

At first I was just gonna test out this whole relationship crap to see if it was really worth giving up being a player, but after spending time with Paige I realized that in some ways it was. Even though I'm sacrificing being with other girls she's worth it. 

And I almost lost her because I didn't listen to her and in some aspects hurt her or 'destroyed her last hopes in love' according to Ashlyn. Which I think may be a bit much. Yeah I probably hurt her but destroyed her that may be a little much. 

I felt a little guilty when Ashlyn told me Paige saw me kiss someone else a few days after we broke up, but hell I was hurting  too I mean I probably could've had a different way of handling it but I was pissed.

I looked down at her and left a kiss on her hand. "I love you Paige. These last couple of months without out have been hell. I miss your laugh, smile, personality, and you in general. And I'm sorry for hurting you but I promise one day I'll make it up to you." 

It sucked that I couldn't see or hear the reaction or expression she would've made if she was awake. But right now I don't care if she couldn't or wouldn't say it back.

 I just wanted to assure that in some way she'd know how I felt and that I could at least prove to myself that I had the balls to admit that I loved her. It doesn't exactly reassure my ego since she's in a coma but hey I'll take what I can get.

I got up and headed to the door. I gave her one last glance for the day and walked out closing the door behind me and headed out the hospital to my car.

------------------------

Paige's POV (In her head):

Why does it everything seem so fuzzy? I swear of someone doesn't make that beeping stop I'll scream! Why am I hooked up so many monitors? Gosh why does it smell so sterile in here?  

I could hear the footsteps and faint sounds of someone moving around and talking.  I tried moving my body put nothing happened. I tried talking, screaming, and sighing but nothing happened. I could make out bits in pieces of the conversation going on next to me but I couldn't figure out who they were talking about.

 Who's she and what do they mean by she's showing signs of waking up? Is she napping? And why are they having this conversation next to me? Who are they? Who am I? 

All of sudden I heard the sound of something heavy closing and I felt someone grab my hand.  It seemed like hours before he said anything to me but when he finally did all he said was: "I love you Paige. These last couple of months without you have been hell. I miss your laugh, smile, personality, and you in general. And I'm sorry for hurting you but I promise one day I'll make it up to you."

Who's Paige and what is he sorry for? Why and how did he hurt her if he loves her? Why hasn't he spoken to her for so many months if he loves her?

 But why is he telling me this? I don't know a Paige do I? Does he want me to pass on some kind of message? I wonders if he thinks I'm her. 

Wait if he thinks I'm her than he probably doesn't know this Paige that well. Maybe he's talking across  me to her. But why are there strangers in my room and why is this guy holding my hand like we know each other? 

All of sudden i felt him drop my hand and I listened to the sound of his footsteps walk away before the room got silent again. I laid here and tried moving my hand again and I suddenly felt one of my fingers twitch. Ok now I just have to get the rest of my body to follow along.
