Chapter 18: Come Back To Me

*Shawn's P.O.V*

After Faye flat lined, and got moved, I was told where she was, and that I could go in and see her aide she was stable now. I figured she'd be sleeping, and when I walked into the room, she was sleeping.

"What's wrong with her?" I asked the nurse in the room.

"Well, she's had blunt trauma to her ribs, broke a couple, and there's some bruising. She's got multiple scrapes, cuts, and abrasions. She's gonna be okay though, don't worry. Um, she'll probably be out for a while, but once she wakes up, don't flood her with questions because she'll still be a little foggy."

"Okay, thank you." I said.

The nurse smiled, and walked out of the room. Mia was standing beside me, and my family was on the other side of Faye's bed. I grabbed Faye's hand, and whispered "Come back to me princess."

*Faye's "Dream" P.O.V*

"Come back to me princess."

I heard someone say, but I couldn't see anyone. Actually, I couldn't see anything. It was all black, but I could faintly hear things. What is this? Where am I? Who was that talking?

All of a sudden, these "images" started flooding through my blank mind. Memories. Of him. That boy who saved me from them, myself, and the world. Shawn Peter Raul Mendes. That oh so familiar name. The one I could say a thousand times, and never get bored, or fall out of love with. My hero, and he needed me back...

*Mia's P.O.V*

I was standing behind Shawn, watching him. He had one of Faye's hands in his, and his head was down. I sighed, and looked at Faye.

"I hope she wakes up..." I thought.

*Aaliyah's P.O.V*

I stood in from of my mom, looking down at Faye's sleeping body, and wished with everything I've got, that she'd be okay. For Shawn, and for me. I hated seeing my brother so... off, and hurt. Faye means everything to him, and if she doesn't make it, I'm not so sure my brother will either... and that scares me.

*Karen's P.O.V*

Looking down at the girl my son had fallen in love with, and to see her covered in cuts, scrapes, and bruises hurt. She's already got enough. Visually, and not visually. I needed her to be okay, if my son was gonna be okay. I've never seen Shawn not know what to do, he's a smart boy, and he makes decisions wisely, but in this situation, he was lost. I think we all are.

*Faye's "Dream" P.O.V*

"Wake up!"

I screamed, but nobody heard me, and nothing happened.

Fuck! I don't know what to do. I'm not waking up, but I need to. I need to see his beautiful eyes, feel his soft touch, melt into his breathtaking smile like I always do. I need him. Please let me wake up this time. I'm not giving up, ever. Not. Until. I. Wake! Up!

Something happened, and I saw color. I felt someone's touch. Shawn. He had my hand. My eyelids started slowly opening, and finally, I saw the world again.

*Shawn's P.O.V*

I looked at Faye, and she had opened her eyes. My heart stopped, and I smiled.

"Faye! You're awake!" I yelled.

"Sh..Shawn?" She whispered.

I leaned closer, "What princess?"

"Come here." She grabbed my shirt, and pulled.

Not being strong enough to do anything, I moved the way for her. Right to her lips. She smiled, and started crying.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"I'm alive Shawn. I get to spend the rest of my days, alive, with you, and your family. And, I'm alive Shawn." She laughed.

I smiled. "Yes you are alive, and I'm never letting you out of my sight again."

She laughed, but winced in pain. "Laughing hurts."

"I'll get the doctor." Mia said, walking out of the room.

"Why is she here?" Faye asked.

"She, uh... She's actually the one who found you, and called me." I answered.

"Oh." Faye said.

Mia came back in the room with the doctor.

"So good to see you're awake. How are you feeling?" The doctor asked.

"I'm good. A little tired, and sore, but good. When can I go home?" Faye answered.

"Soon. We still want to keep you here overnight, to ensure that you're truly okay, and that we didn't miss any injuries. But tomorrow, you can go home, if there's nothing wrong." The doctor replied.

"Okay, thank you." Faye said.

"No problem." He smiled, and walked out the door.

I looked at the clock. 10:46pm. Jesus! I've been here for a while. We all have.

"Hey," I grabbed Karen's hand, "You take Manny, and Aaliyah, and go home, get some rest. I'll be fine. Okay?" I said.

"Oh honey we're fine." She replied.

"Karen, that's an order. Go home and rest, please." Faye said.

"Okay." She gave.

My family all gave her a hug, and then me one, and went home.

"Mia, you can go too. I'm fine now, so go get some sleep." Faye said.

"Faye..." Mia started.

"Go. You don't owe me anything, and if you did, you already paid it by finding me, and bringing Shawn here. So please, so rest." Faye insisted.

"Okay." Mia said, giving me a small smile, and walking out of the room.

"Don't even try. I'm not leaving." I said.

"I know. I don't want you to." She smiled.

She slowly moved over on the bed, and patted the side next to her.

"Come here." She said.

I climbed in bed next to her, and she slowly, and carefully cuddled into my chest.

"I love you Shawn." She whispered.

"I love you too princess. Thanks for coming back to me." I smiled, planting a kiss on her head.

She smiled, and her eyelids started drooping.

"Sleep princess. You need it." I whispered.

She smiled, and drifted off to sleep. And slowly, after a while, my eyelids closed, and I was off to sleep. Careful not to be in a deep sleep, so that if something happened, I would wake up to help her.
