I just cant forget about you

Ch.50 You forgot

Alex POV 

It is now December the 16 and still nothing. I have begun to notice that I do the same thing almost all the time. Go go to work then head to Daniel's to pick up Ethan then head with Ethan to the hospital. Sometimes Ross would come to check up on me but that was mostly done through phone calls. Im on my way to pick up Ethan right now and I can't help but wonder if anythings going to be different today just like I've asked myself every other day. I pull up into Daniel's driveway just as he opens the door.  He walks out with Ethan in his driver seat and he asks the question he's been asking these last few days. 

"Any improvement?" 

"No not yet,"I say taking Ethan from his hand. I place Ethan in the car and kiss his forehead lightly to make sure he doesn't wake up. 

"Hey things will get better,"he says as I put on my seat belt. 

"Let's hope,"I say before driving away. 

I get a phone call and I answer it before placing my phone on the cupboard. 

*Alex!* Monica's voice fills my ears and I can't remember the let time I had a peaceful conversation with her. I miss my best friend but I can't say I blame her. 

"No casper,"I say sarcastically.

*Sarcastic as ever I see* she says with a chuckle. 

*Anyway Rocky just called my and he said their having a blast in Mexico* she says excited for her boyfriend. 

"Thats great,"I respond dully.

*Anything happen?* she asks and I know what she means. 

"Nope same old same old,"I say while stoping at a red light. 

I hear her sigh and my heart sinks even more if that were even possible. 

*Don't loose hope okay?* she says but it sounds more like a demand than a request. 

"I won't,"I say reluctantly. 

*hey you know what I noticed?* she says and by the tone in her voice I know she doesn't like it. 

"Go ahead, my whole world is upside down anyway,"I say turning into the hospital. 

*The boys might spend christmas in Mexico* she says sounding disappointed. 

"Geez way to cheer me up,"I say taking Ethan out of the baby seat and making my way into the hospital. 

*Sorry* she says completely hurt. 

"Its okay,"I say sighing.

*Well I'll talk to you later I guess* she says and I feel guilty.

"Talk to you tomorrow,"I said reassuring that I was going to talk to my best friend the next day. 

*Okay* she said and hang up. I gave baby Ethan my phone and he just played with it. I entered a room that was all too familiar for me at the moment and sighed at the sight in front of me. The   bunch of machines beeping and the needle in my sisters arm giving her some nutrients to keep her alive. The few scars and bruises she had at first were nearly gone and the only thing that wasn't stable was her heart beat. She was in a coma and it pretty much looked like she was dead. I stretched the blanket on the floor and sat on the floor with Ethan. Thats how I've spent everyday for the last two weeks. I get another call and this time its Ross. 

"Hey,"I say feeling happy all of a sudden. 

*Hey hows everything in LA?* he asks almost immediately. 

"Well nothing much. Amanda hasn't moved yet and Im on the hospital floor with Ethan playing peek a boo while he just laughs,"I say doing the while peek a boo thing once more so he could laugh one more time. 

*Sorry but I don't think we'll make it for christmas* he says and I feel my shoulders automatically slump. 

"Yeah I know Monica told me,"I replay after a moment of silence. 

*But hey we might be there for New years* he says excitedly.

"What about your birthday?"I ask curiously. 

*Yeah I think we might be home for my birthday* he says and I can tell he's smiling. 

"Sounds promising,"I say with a smile of my own.  

I hand baby Ethan his chew toy and smile when he throws it to the floor. 

*So think of me often?* he questions me and I can almost see a smirk on his face. 

"Cocky much Lynch?"I ask with a laugh. 

*Well I mean I don't have to ask I already know you think about me* 

"Do you? Do you really?" I ask with a serious tone. 

*ALEX! DO YOU LIKE TACOS?!* I hear Riker ask. 

"Yes I like tacos, what good central American doesn't?"I ask with a small smile as I make funny faces at Ethan while bringing him up to my face. 

*Cool then they must be good* I head him say and then Ross is back on the line *Sorry he didn't know whether he would like them or not, I have to go talk to you later* he says hanging up. 

Its 12:00 a.m and Ross still hasn't called I guess later never came.
