-Liam's POV-

The longer Destiney stays asleep the more I start to wonder if she is even truly alive. The machines she's connected to are proof that she is, but who's to say they aren't broken?

I don't want her to die, just thinking about it hurts me all over. But what if she does? What will happen to me? Will I become depressed? Will I eventually move on? Will I go mad? One thing I do know is that if anything happens to her, nothing will be the same.

"You're a quiet one aren't you?" Chase asks. Naomi had gone home to shower and get some much needed sleep.

I turn to Chase and shrug. I haven't spoken for a month. What's the point in talking? There's nothing to say. And honestly I kind of like not talking. I can just let others do the talking for me.

Even if Destiney wakes up and makes it through this, I don't know if I'll even speak then. This whole thing has affected me in such a way, I don't really have the courage to speak anymore.

Anything I said a month ago hurt Destieny and brought us to this point. It would be better for everyone if I just kept my mouth shut.

"Are you physically not able to speak or do you choose not to?" Chase asks. I don't blame him for wondering. I would have done the same thing.

I hold up a finger, telling him to hold on. I bring my mobile from my pocket and open the notes app. I type, 'I choose not to' and show it to him. He nods his head then leans back in the chair.

"Do you mind me asking why?" He then asks. I look towards Destiney then drop my gaze to the floor, taking a shaky breath.

"Oh...you've stopped talking just recently, yeah?" Chase asks quietly. I nod my head.

"But when she wakes you're going to speak aren't you?" I shrug my shoulders and slightly shake my head. I don't think I'll ever talk again.

Before he had the chance to ask anything else, a doctor comes in to check on Destiney. "Can I get you lads anything?" She asks as she wrote something on her clipboard.

"No thanks, I'm fine." Chase says, and I shake my head no.

"Alright, and just to brighten your day, Destiney's brain function looks amazing." She says with a smile before walking out. Does that mean she'll wake up soon?

"Maybe our luck is finally turning around." Chase says, leaning back into the chair. I really hope he's right.

"I'm afraid you're going to have to go home, lad." Dr.Wence says, placing his hand on my shoulder. I shake my head and turn around to go back to Destiney's room.

"Liam, you're ill. You can't be here." He says sternly. He's right. But I don't want to leave Destiney.

"Also, we need to talk about Destiney." He then says. Oh no. That doesn't sound good. I slowly nod my head, motioning for him to go on.

"It's almost been a month and a half. We need to start thinking about-" I cut him off, placing my hand over his mouth. I shake my head vigourously. She's going to make it through this.

"Liam," Dr. Wence grabs my hand away from his mouth. "I know you don't want to have this discussion. I don't either. But we have to be prepared. We don't know what will happen. Just bare with me, yeah?"

I nod my head again, feeling tears line my eyes. I don't want to think about Destiney dying. "I know this is a very touchy subject for you. I'm not happy about it myself. But if she doesn't doesn't wake up within a month, I'm afraid that's it." He says softly, rubbing my back with the palm of his hand.

"Any longer and you won't be able to pay for the fees. And you won't get any better yourself. Don't take it personally but you're a wreck, mate. I can understand why, but you shouldn't be in this state."

As much as I hate to admit it, he's right. I nod my head, sighing. I need to go home.

"So why don't you go home, get well rested and start feeling better. If you feel better by Sunday, you can come back. We'll ring you if anything happens." He offers.

I nod my head in agreement. A whole week. Maybe Destiney will wake in that time?
