ETERNAL LOVE(Love On The Brain#3)

chapter one:COMATOSE

It's been three months since Lewis went into a coma and he can't breath alone so he's breathing through a tube.
Am such a mess even if I got the scholarship I wanted in London. Am not sure if I will go through with it.
I always lie to myself that this is all a dream and that I will wake up next to him,feel him and touch him.
I have been so broken and out of life. My mom thinks I will lose it. But I think I already have cause my heart can't take this pain.
Each time I try to do something he's always there.
My mom says I should pray and have faith no matter what but I don't remember when last I prayed. She tells me this will pass so long I put everything in God's hands.
I don't even know how to pray,I tell myself. Besides if everything is in God's hands then why did he let Lewis be in such a state.

I bow down on my knees.

"Why God?"

"Why did you let this happen to Lewis or me when you know we can't live without each other. We never did anything wrong apart from love each other."

"Please Lord, I will do anything you ask of me. Just bring the man I love back in my life cause I don't think I will have the purpose to live if he's not here anymore. I won't be able to live. You take me with him instead. I want to be in a coma with him so I can be so close to him and my heart can have a reason to beat again.

" Laura!"my mom interrupts me.

I got a call from Lewis's doctor, they say they managed to get his blood pressure back to normal. They are just giving him time and waiting and hoping that he wakes up soon.

"Meaning he will be okay right Mom? His going to wake up right and be with me right Mom?"

Yes Laura.

"Lewis is a strong man and he doesn't give up that easily. Like I told you everything will be okay,just pray my dear,God listens to each word and hears every tear. Now go and be with your man he needs you more than ever."

But his parents won't let me go and see him or be near him. They made that possible.

"I will help you sneak in,I know someone who can help."

Oh thanks Mom.

I wait in the cafeteria praying that my Mom will manage to help me see Lewis. Even if it's just for a minute,I won't mind. I want to touch him and tell him how much I have missed him.

"I have managed," my mom tells me as she takes a sit next to me but you have to wait for thirty minutes cause Lewis's mom assigned bodyguards to guide him during visiting hours and it ends in thirty minutes.

Damn! that cold bitter woman. I see why Lewis didn't want me to meet his family at all because they are the worst human beings.

"Mom how can someone be so cruel. She knows how much Lewis loves me and the doctor said me being around him would help him recover but his Dad said no and so did his Mom.

Am sorry Laura. But I think it's time for you to go and see your man.

I kiss her goodbye then leave.

I open the door.

I see Lewis laying on the hospital bed.

" Don't cry,"I tell myself. Only positive vibes that's all.

"Hey my love,I know you can hear me. Your four eyes misses you so much. I want you back right now, please come back to me. I can't live anymore without you. I live for you and you live for me. How do you expect me to live if you are trying to give up on me my love.
I know you won't leave me alone cause if you do am leaving with you. Cause you alone told me I only belong with you and no one else.

I lay next to him and sob in silence while holding his hand.

Am not sure how but I fall asleep right next to him.

Waking up,I check my phone for the time. It's been three hours. I haven't slept this long in a while but I have to go before anyone finds me.

" I have to leave now,I tell him but I want you to know that I love you and all I am asking from you is that you hang in there and live for me, your four eyed princess."

I kiss him goodbye.

As I let go of his hand,he twitches his hand.

"Oh fuck!" I say out loud.

But he moves again.

"Oh my baby you moved," I scream in joy.

I press the emergency button to alert the medics.
