"We have visitors again," the normal day time nurse, Sandy, announced. She opened the door to reveal John and Raven again. Without fail, they had been there every single day for the whole two weeks.

Bellamy was glad. He was happy that Clarke had friends who loved her, but he wasn't quite as happy with their exchanged looks everyday when she still hadn't woken up.

Doctor Kane, the chief of surgery, was due to come by in a few minutes. And he would once again, tell Bellamy that Clarke was in a coma. He would again tell him he wasn't sure if she would wake up.

"The swelling in her face is completely gone," Raven smiled. She rubbed her hands up and down Clarke's healing arm. "Still so fucking pretty," she tried to laugh. "How is everything healing?"

"Everything is healing as it should be," Bellamy told them. "Her ribs are doing great, her arm still needs the cast for a few weeks, her stitches only need another week or so, and her clavicle is doing good," Bellamy said, just repeating the doctor's words.

"That's good, man," John nodded. "Have they done any more scans?"

Bellamy shook his head. "No, just the xray. They're waiting a little bit to do another brain scan. She needs to heal."

Bellamy felt their looks, but he didn't acknowledge them. He knew that slowly, most people were losing hope that she would wake up. But not him. And not Abby. She had taken to living in her office. She was back working, though she wasn't allowed to operate. But she needed to do something, and from what Bellamy had seen, she had been researching comas.

Bellamy hadn't been able to make himself do that. He wanted to know things, but reading the negative things was just something he couldn't force himself to do. Instead, he had his laptop and some books. He would read and he had been watching Netflix, talking to Clarke.

He never stopped talking to her. He assured her that he was there. He told her what was happening on the news. He complained about the food to her, he knew she would love to tease him about that. He told her all about the books he read. And he talked about the shows he watched. Whenever a character did anything funny or out of line, he told her about it.

And every night, every single night, he begged her. He begged her to get better. He begged her to heal. And he begged her to wake up.
