Tragic Love (an Ashton Irwin fanfic)

Chapter 7: Coma

A/N: It would be good to listen to Would it Matter by Skillet for this chapter. I think it fits it perfectly.

6 Weeks Later:

Ashton's POV:

'What have I done. I still can't believe that this happened. Brayden is in a coma, and it's all because if me. God! I'm so stupid! Why did I even go for a kiss on the first date?' I punched my fist into a wall immediately feeling the pain set in. 'Okay, that was stupid.'

I went it my room and crawled in the bed. I couldn't take this pain anymore. I know it's crazy, but I was falling in love with her on the first date. I've never felt this way before. And now I don't even know if I'll get to ever talk to her again. What if she never wakes up. The pain is unbearable, just knowing that I'm the reason behind this all.

I got out of the bed and headed towards my bathroom. I looked through the medicine cabinet and found some pain killers. I popped the cap open and poured some in my hand. This would finally be over. As I raised my hand up to my mouth, something stopped me. I broke down in tears. What am I doing?

I fell down to the floor and threw the pills across the room. I sat there for a while and then I heard something- a buzzing noise. I ran to back to my room to find my phone ringing. It was the hospital. "You need to get here quick." the doctor told me very seriously. What did this mean.

I grabbed my keys, got in my car, and rushed down to the hospital. I whipped into an empty parking space and ran towards the doors. I found the doctor and the front desk and as he walked me to Brayden's room, he examined everything. "After many weeks of examinations, we have found no brain activity until now. See we have been keeping her breathing on an oxygen tank. This morning she started breathing by herself. It's a miracle. We've never seen anything like this happen before."

"So she's going to come out if the coma, she going to live?" I asked hopefully.

"Yes, fortunately, she is very lucky. Most people don't survive from a very serious concussion like this."

"Oh my god, thank you so much for everything I told him, tears brimming in my eyes."

He nodded his head as we reached the room. "I'll let you have some time alone with her."

I walked into the room slowly. Pulling back the curtain separating us, I found a very damaged Brayden. Lying there, not moving, not talking.

"Brayden, I know you can't respond to me right now, but I'm so sorry. This is all my fault. I never should've tried to kiss you. I shouldn't even be in your life. I ruin everything for everyone. That's why, as much as it hurts me, I have to leave you. I can't see you get hurt like this again. It hurts me."

As I got done speaking, she began stirring in her bed. She was trying to wake herself up.

"Nurse! Get in here, I think she's waking up!" I screamed.

Just then, two nurses began running into the room. Staring at her, just as amazed as I was.

"Where am I? What happened?"

"You're in the hospital. We had a wreck. It was all my fault."

"I had a weird dream that you told me you were leaving me," she said confused.

I glanced at the nurses and they left the room, to give us some privacy.

"I did say that. I know we've only had one date, but I am falling madly in love with you. It's not healthy. I can't hurt you again."

Tears started streaming down her face. Please. Don't leave me. I have no one. You're the only one that's here for me. You're all I have," she cried out.

"I have to. Don't worry, you'll find somebody better for you, someone better than me. You don't want to be with me. I wreck everything, I deserve to be alone. I'm so sorry. But it'll all be better soon," I said not knowing that I too was crying.

She sat there, not being able to get up. Still crying as I walked out of her life, forever.

A/N: I'm finally back! Yay! I've been back for a while but haven't had any idea what exactly to write. So I came up with this today. I've been thinking about it but just haven't been motivated to write. But no worries I'm here now! And I'm changing the cover photo for the story.
