Lex pov
Bailey, Ash, Dally, Sodapop, Darry, Steve, Johnny, Ponyboy and I surrounded by a bunch of fluids and medicine tubes and an IV stuck in my arm. I had just awoken from a nightmare, being stuck in my own dreams without being to wake up, I couldn't hear anything, I was alone with my thoughts, and the constant feeling of blood flowing through my body, it doesn't normally hurt, but when you can't feel anything else it hurts. My eyelids were glued shut, it was an endless rest minus the tossing and turning.. I could see everything, but nothing, I was somewhere, but not there.
Bailey Pov
January 21st, 26 days after Christmas (27 if you're in China), but we aren't exactly here right now... It's Christmas time! Santa's here, making all the children smile, but he's just a pedophile," -Shane Dawson. We shoulda listened to him he definitely gives you what you deserve, you might not understand now, but December 23rd, 2017. It was Lex's last day of school before winter vacation which meant hours and hours of talking, what we liked doing most. I was going about my day, drawing for my art account on YouTube while listening to New Americana by Halsey, when suddenly my phone lit up with a call. It was only 11:45 and I noticed Ash was calling, I picked up the phone while Ash said nonchalantly, "Lex is going to the hospital." I asked hopelessly, "Is she okay?" At that second a text message from Lex went through, it read, "Right now I'm going home, wanna FaceTime later? 💕." Ash continuously said, "Bailey? Bailey? Are you okay?" I asked quickly, "Did she get hit by a car? Fall off her bike? passed out? Why is she going to the hospital? Nevermind! I'm coming to New York, Dally better bet his bottom dollar he's getting me!
An hour later, 12:49
I had just arrived to the airport and I could swear to god I saw Lex coming out the the airport, "deja vu," I said to myself shyly. Once the flight attendant called flight 239 I rushed to the boarding spot, first on board. It was going to be an endless 6 hour flight, well lucky me how beautiful! Here comes a lot of crying, movies, drawing, and sleeping. Oh! And worrying. Fun!

I had felt a small shake my shoulders. I woke up and to my surprise my arms were repositioned, I quickly looked around there was a baby in my arms and the flight attendant motioning me towards the door. I had arrived in New York and I had a baby. Wonderful am I right?
A dark car pulled up and Ash said, "jump in." I was a silent drive. It was terrible. We arrived at the busy hospital at 9:13, we entered and the whole gang was there eight recognizable faces guiding me to Lex's room. We met the doctor in the room as soon as we entered. "She still isn't up?" Ponyboy said sadly. The doctor, Doctor Meeker said, "She's in a coma. It isn't expected for her to wake up.. It would be astonishing if she does, a true miracle." All of our jaws had dropped, as the doctor left we saw the lifeless lex and quickly suspended the Christmas spirit. Little by little everyone left. I don't exactly know if this is real life, but it was late, a little timid lamp was glowing lightly and I remember Lex saying, "I don't think I can do this. Help me, help me, it hurts." I quickly said, "Baby! It's Bailey and you okay?" There was a scared expression on Lex's face and she sighed, "I don't think I can do this." I reassured her saying, "its you and me baby.." Lex sighed, "You promise?" And I replied, "Til' death do us part." She opened her mouth once more and said, "I love you."
