17.
It had been three week since Damien was brought to hospital and he still wasn't awake, last night his heart rate dropped but it picked up back up after an hour, I hadn't left the hospital apart from that one night. I felt rough and probably looked rough. I hadn't really eat much and I was struggling to even drink water without feeling sick.
My dad phoned me a lot to make sure I was ok and to make sure I was eating. I had been taking my school work to the hospital so I didn't get behind.
Lucy came for two hours a day and Drake sometimes came with her.
"Karly, you need to go home and get some rest." Lucy said.
"No, I am not leaving him." I said.
"I will stay with him." Lucy replied.
"No, I am fine here." I replied.
"Ok, I will get us some food in a moment." Lucy replied.
"I am not hungry." I replied.
"You need to eat." Lucy replied, I just turned away and looked back at Damien.
"Has Liam been in touch?" Lucy asked.
"He text's me sometimes just saying sorry but I don't care." I replied.
"You must care; you were dating him for a while." Lucy replied.
"Well I did care about him and he really hurt me but I finally realised that my heart was never in this, I went in with my head thinking he would be more mature but I guess I was wrong, I should have never doubted Damien, because over the past few weeks I have finally realised my heart belongs to him." I replied.
Lucy was shocked.
"Belongs to Damien?" Lucy asked confused.
"I love Damien; I was too scared to admit it before because I didn't want to lose our friendship." I replied.
"Oh my life, I am so glad you finally realised." Lucy smiled.
"He probably doesn't want me now though." I sighed.
Lucy gave me a hug and then went to fetch us both some food.

An hour had gone by and now I was feeling drained, I lay my head on the bed by Damien's hand. I felt Damien's hand move a little, I jumped up but Damien was still, I was probably tired and imaging stuff but that felt real.
I grabbed Damien's hand and I felt Damien squeeze it a little.
I shouted the nurse and told her but she told me it was just a reaction.
"Damien, if you can hear me please squeeze my hand." I begged.
Damien squeezed my hand again. I looked at his face.
"Open your eye's please." I begged.
I saw Damien's eye's flicker and the nurse called a doctor in and he removed the tube from down Damien's throat.
"Keep trying, come on open them." I begged.
Damien's eyes flickered again and then they finally shot open.
The nurse got Damien some water and put a straw in the cup before getting Damien to drink some.
"Karly?" Damien croaked.
"Yes." I cried. I was so glad Damien was awake.
"I can't feel my left arm." Damien replied.
I looked at the nurse and then she spoke.
