Reunited (Hayes Grier Fan FIc)

Chapter 13: Broken

Hayes~

Six months.

Six whole months she’s been in a coma.

Six months since I’ve seen those beautiful eyes.

Six months.

Nash~

It’s been six months since Eliza got shot, and Hayes is deteriorating.  I never realized how much he loved her until this happened.  The only time he leaves her side is to go to the bathroom.  He has large bags under his eyes, he’s pale, and he’s barely eating or drinking anything. 

I can understand it, though.  I would do the same if this happened to Megan.  We both agreed to postpone the wedding until Eliza wakes up, although we’re not sure if she ever will.  Hayes won’t believe it, though.

Eliza~

Why won’t my eyes just open?!

Since the past however long it’s been I regained my memories up until I got shot.  I keep hearing Hayes talking to me and he sounds so broken and I just want to open my eyes and hug him and tell him everything is gonna be ok, but for some reason I just can’t.

Hayes~

The doctor came in and was smiling, “Hayes, today is a big day.”  I looked at him curiously, “Why?”  He smiled, “Lately she has been more responsive and I think we should try to wake her up today.”  I smiled brightly at him, “How do we do that?”  He smiled and sat beside her with me, “Just talk to her, grab her hand, anything that might trigger a response.”  I nodded and grabbed her hand, “Lizabear, you need to wake up.  We need you.  Please wake up.”  Nothing happened and I frowned but I tried one last thing, I leant forward and kissed her forehead and when I sat back down she opened her eyes and smiled at me.

“Well done, Hayes!  I’ll leave you two alone and I’ll be back in a little bit to talk with you.”  I nodded, a huge smile glued to my face.

“Hayes, how long has it been?”  I sighed, “six months.”  Her eyes went wide, “SIX MONTHS?!”  She tried to get up but I gently pushed her back down, “don’t try to get up, you got shot in the ribs and I’m not sure if you’re supposed to get up yet.”

She groaned, nodded, and layed back down.  “I’ve seriously been in a coma for six months?”  I nodded and the doctor came back in.

“Ok, Eliza we need to get an x-ray of your ribs and if everything has healed properly, you can leave.”  She smiled and said, “Ok, when can I get the x-rays done?”  The doctor looked at something on his clipboard, “You can go get the scan now if you’re up for it.”  She nodded, “Sure, let’s get it over with.”  He smiled and soon enough she was being wheeled to this machine thingy that that took a full body x-ray.

After the scan she was wheeled back to her room and we sat there talking until the doctor came back in.  “The x-rays show that everything has healed properly and you can leave whenever you’re ready.”  He walked out and Eliza got up, “I am outta here!”  I smiled and walked out with her.

Nash was in the waiting room when we walked out.  When he saw Eliza he ran up and hugged her, and I immediately got jealous.  I growled and Nash laughed at me, “Calm down Hayes, I’m engaged remember?”  Eliza looked at me and kissed my cheek, “Calm down Hayeseyboo.”  I smiled at her and Nash said he had to fly back to Megan now.

He left and we drove back to the dorm.  We missed more than a whole semester, so I worked it out with the head peoples so that we could just take an extra semester at the end.  When we got there Eliza changed into sweat pants and a t-shirt and so did I.

We spent the rest of the day talking and goofing off, happy we finally get to be together again without one of us either kidnapped or in a coma.
