Months later

Victoria's parents insisted that they moved her to the best hospital in Los Angeles. New Vikings cancelled the rest of their tour because they know Victoria wouldn't want them to perform without her.

We finished the Blink 182 tour. We have a three weeks off before going for the Canada tour. It has also been three months since the accident happened and Victoria is still in a coma.

Every day, I would visit and stay by Victoria's side. I met her parents and siblings while waiting for her to wake up. We talked a couple of time but most of the times we were quietly waiting.

Why isn't she waking up?

I miss her terribly. I missed her beautiful smile, her big blue eyes that she inherited from her mum and her orange hair that I found out was not her real hair colour. Her hair is brown, judging by her family's.

It's cute that she is an aunt. Her older brother who introduced himself as Vincent is married and has a cute daughter, Ashley. Veronica, Victoria's older sister is also married and is pregnant.

Narelle, Kenneth and Issaac came in regularly too. They brought along a lot of polaroid scrapbooks of them during high school. They cried a lot too because they were worried that Victoria would wake up with amnesia.

I slowly picked up Victoria's hand from the bed by her side and held it in mine. I squeezed it tight. I felt tear swelling up in my eyes again.

I felt a squeezed in my hand. I quickly looked up. Victoria's hand was squeezing mine.

"Victoria? Please wake up. It's me, Jack. I'm here," I stroked her hair and whispered in her ear.

"J-Jack?" She muttered and her eyebrow furrowed.

"Yes, Victoria. It's Jack. Open your eyes," Her eyelids did flutter open.

"Doctor! Doctor! Nurse!" I yelled.
