Chapter 32

Allison's POV

It's been about a week since Michael has slipped into a coma, and I've been a wreck, everyone has.  Calum's mom volunteered to take care of Melanie for however long Calum and Izzy needed.  Luke and Ashton haven't left my side since, making sure I don't do anything stupid, which I don't blame them.  Knowing me, I would do something, but luckily I have the best friends anyone could ask for. 

"Allison, it's time to go." Luke told me from outside the door sadly.  I sighed sadly and got up and kissed Michael's cheek before I left his room. 

"How have you been holding up?" Luke asked me.

"What do you think?" I snapped at him, "Shit, I'm sorry I didn't mean-"

"It's fine, Allison, I know you've been stressed lately.  Don't worry about it." He told me and led me outside to the car.  I slid into the back, due to Ashton driving, and buckled myself up.

"Allison, wake up.  We're home." I felt Ashton shake me awake.  I slowly opened my eyes and saw that we were indeed home.  I got out of the car and walked inside the house.  I trudged up the stairs and went into Luke and Ashton's room and stole one of Luke's shirts and a pair of his sweatpants.  I walked inside the bathroom and got changed into the clothes.  After I finished, I walked out and went back into their room, where they were both sat on the bed. 

"Guys?" I whispered loud enough for them to hear, "I miss Michael." My lip trembled and tears began to fall down my cheeks, "I can't live without him.  I don't know what to do." I cried harder and collapsed onto the ground.  Ashton and Luke instantly rushed over and sandwiched me between them. 

"It's going to be okay, Allison." Luke tried to soothed me.

"But what if it's not?!" I raised my voice, "What if it's not okay?  What happens if Michael doesn't make it?  What'll happen to me?  If he's gone, then so am I.  He completes me.  Without him, I'm lost.  I won't be able to survive without him."

"Listen to me, Allison."  Luke started and grabbed my face to face him, "Michael is going to make it.  He loves you too much to ever leave you, okay?" He explained to me softly.  I gave him a small nod and began to feel sleepy, "Get some sleep." Luke said and kissed my forehead before I fell into a deep slumber.

The next morning, I once again went to the hospital to go a visit Michael.

"Hello, darling." The woman at the front desk greeted me. 

"Hi." I greeted her quietly before I began walking to the room.  I walked inside and sat in the usual and grabbed his hand, giving it a light squeeze.

"Hey Mikey.  It's me again.  Everyone misses you.  It's not the same without.  You make our little group of friends a whole.  I just wish I could go back in the past and change everything.  I wish I could go back and stay with you and not question myself.  It's my fault that you're here right now.  I didn't see that you truly loved me.  I'm sorry.  I love you, Michael.  Please come back to me." I spoke to him as my tears silently fell down my face. 

"Say something, I'm giving up on you

I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you

Anywhere, I would've followed you

Say something, I'm giving up on you" I sang softly.  I continued to sit in silence and just stare at Michael.  After a few moments, I heard the door open and close.  Someone then sat down in the seat next to me. 

"He really loves you, you know." Mrs. Clifford told me.

"I know, but I was too late once I saw it." I whispered, "I'm always too late." I wiped the lone tear that had fell down. 

"You weren't too late, sweetie.  If you hadn't showed up when you did, Michael could be gone by now." She said shakily. 

"But I could've prevented this.  If only I stayed with him.  He probably hates me now."

"Allison, he would never  hate you.  Michael used to call me all the time and go on and on about you.  How you were one of the best people that he has ever met and how pretty you were and so much more."

"Really?" I asked.

"Yes, Michael has always been in love with you."
