Spartans [FINISHED]

35

Memphis's POV It's been a week since John went into a coma. Commander keeps trying to keep me away by never letting me stop training, but that isn't working. I finish training then come here, to be with John. I haven't slept or ate (even though I don't usually eat anyway) or let go of John's hand unless commander told me to do training. He's tossed and turned a couple times, probably having a flashback. He's scared me half to death because he started coughing a lot and couldn't catch his breath. Right now I'm holding John's hand and looking at the IV's, then out the window. I looked at the IV's again and John's pulse rate went from 53 to 68, then to 75. "John?" I whispered and he grunted. His heart rate went up to 85 and he opened his eyes then immediately shut them. "Too bright." I smiled and closed the blinds. "Better?" I asked quietly. "Yes." He said opening his eyes again. I smile and kiss him on the forehead. "How long was I out?" My heart sank as I watched his heartbeat slowly go down. "A week, but you're awake now, that's all that matters." He nodded and closed his eyes. "Please don't go back to sleep." I started crying but tried my hardest to stop. He looked at the IV's and immediately started to look scared. I followed his gaze and watched his heartbeat plummet from 84 to 37. "Oh my god. John fight it for just a second I'm going to get help. Connor get Rachel now!" He nodded and I ran off to find Connor. I found him just outside the med room thankfully. "RACHEL! GET RACHEL!" I screamed through tears. "What is it? What's wrong, Memphis?" I kept crying and pushed him to where I thought Rachel was. It took him less than a second to figure out what was going on and broke off into a sprint. "RACHEL GET DOWN HERE NOW!" Daryl got up and followed me as I started sprinting to the med room. We got to the med room and we ran to John's side. He started struggling to take a breath and then started coughing, a lot. Me and Daryl tried to help him out but I looked back at the IV's just in case and John's pulse rate dropped to 24. "John! John look at me, don't go to sleep!" It was too late, he'd passed out but kept struggling to breathe. "RACHEL HURRY THE FUCK UP!" I heard Connor scream and Rachel came running in and pulled me away from John. Connor grabbed me and held me back. John's heartbeat kept going down until it got to 5. "NO!" I scream and Connor pulls me in and side hugs me. I closed my eyes then heard a loud beeping. I opened my eyes and the lines on the IV's went flat. I started screaming at the top of my lungs and dropped to my knees. Connor covered my mouth and drug me out of the room. I dropped to my knees again and wouldn't move, I just kept crying. I felt Connor tug on my arm but I smack him away. He groans and I feel him pull me to my feet. "God fucking dammit, Memphis! Pull yourself together!" I could tell he was about to cry with all the weariness in his voice. But he wasn't about to, he's so weird like that. He wasn't about to show he was about to cry, he was to mad. I pushed him off me and walked upstairs. I kept punching a mirror in the bathroom, even after it broke to pieces. Then Rachel came in and covered my eyes and lead me somewhere. I fallowed not even caring were she was taking me. She uncovered my eyes and we were in the med room. And John, laying there unconscious, but he was alive. I ran over and pulled the mask off him so I could kiss him, but he started coughing. So I put the mask back on and and kissed him on the cheek.
                                                  --------three days later--------
It's been three days but I'm so happy that John's getting better so I don't care! I'm sitting here with John, his fever has gone away and he doesn't have to be on oxygen anymore. YAY YAY YAY! His heart rate isn't so low anymore! Yay! I'm playing with the ring he gave me, studying it. It's silver with two really small diamonds on each side of a little turquoise gem, which is my birthstone for December. I looked up from the beautiful piece of jewelry to the IV's and John's pulse rate was still steady at 75. I sighed then looked back at the ring. "What's wrong, babe?" I jumped and turned to where John was laying, well sitting. Wait, YES! He's awake! YES, YES, YES! I put the ring on and kissed him. "I missed you so much!" I scream not caring if it wakes somebody up, I mean it is one in the morning. John gave me a hug. "I missed you too." I smiled and he let go of me. I looked at him and the scar going from above his eyebrow, across his nose, and ended on his cheek. I kissed him again and ran my finger across his scar. "What were you trying to hide? You know, when you kept your helmet on?" I asked as quiet as possible. "The scar, I guess. And I look like a total dork, so I hide that too." I giggle and move his hair out of his face. "You have strawberry blonde hair, really cute blue and gray eyes, I don't think that qualifies as a dork." I say pulling his hair. "Ow, hey, don't pull my hair." I giggle again and John does too. "You're hair is cut in a cute way too."
Le picture for meh peoples. Just the hair, not the face, the hair.

Like that.

John's cheeks turned a little red and he looked down. "Aw, you're even cuter when you get that innocent look on your face." He giggled a little and looked up at me. "So can I get out of the med room now?" I shook my head and sighed. "You can't go anywhere until Rachel says you can." John rolled his eyes and fell back on the bed. "Being. Sick. Sucks. Balls." Hehehe, John you're silly. "I'll go and get Rachel." I kissed him and turned around to leave. "No, don't leave." John whined. I rolled my eyes and smiled. "I'll be right back, I promise." "Okay." I blew him a kiss and he pretended to catch it. I giggled and walked out. I went upstairs to find Rachel sleeping. I shook her and she smacked me in the face. "WHO THE FU- oh, it's just Memphie. BITCH, WHY ARE YOU WAKING ME UP AT TWO IN THE MORNING?!" She shouted. I guess she doesn't like mornings. "Rachel, SSHH! I'm sleeping!" Daryl whined while leaning over the side of the bunk so he could see her. Connor was still sound asleep even through Rachel's screaming. Jesus Christ he is a deep sleeper! "John's awake." I whispered. Her cold stare turned into a smile. "I'll be there in a second." I nodded and left the bunkers. I hurriedly walked downstairs to the med room and John was just laying there, looking out the window. "I told you I wouldn't be gone long." I said skipping over to John's side. "Why are you skipping?"
"Because I'm happy."
"Well why are you so happy?" John, why are you trying to be a smartass? You silly, silly boy.
"Because you're awake." I said sitting next to him. "Boop." John poked my nose and I started laughing. "I'm high." I kept laughing and finally stopped to say something. "On what?" I giggle. "I don't know. All I know is I feel high as fuck." I kissed him again and John started sucking on my bottom lip. I guess that's how boys say 'let me in'? I would do it differently, probably run my hand up his shirt or something. Why am I thinking that? That is so dirty! Ew! "John, not now." I whispered looking around to see if anyone could have seen us. "Why not? Nobody's here." Because reasons, John. Because reasons. Although, he's got a point, Rachel hasn't come in yet. Maybe I could just barely- no, he's hospitalized, not until he can leave. "Maybe when they leave for something or get left alone." I whisper. "Hey John! How ya feelin'?" I looked behind me and Rachel had come in. "High." John said sitting up. "That should go away in about ten minutes. Anywayyy I have to make sure you've stabilized to let you out of here." She said walking over. She looked at the IV's, then took John's temperature, his blood pressure, then she put this weird thing in his mouth and told him when to breathe. She gave him a pill and was surprised she didn't have to yell at him to make him take it. I stood there tapping my foot waiting for her to finish. When they were finally done, Rachel said he could leave. "I'm gonna leave you two alone, I have to train with everyone else. I'll tell commander to leave you guys be." Dun dun duuuuun! Alone time initiated! I pulled John up the stairs after Rachel left with the others and kissed him. "Wanna go around town with me?" John asked quietly. I nodded and John grabbed his skateboard while I wrote a note telling Rachel where we went. We walked out as silent as possible and John put his board on the ground. "Get on." I looked at him then the board. "But I don't know how."
"I'll help you." John put his hands on my hip and helped me on the board. It started rolling and I grabbed John's arm. "It's okay, I got you." He walked down the sidewalk beside me on the board.
