Someday

Chapter 11 - I Need You

Hunter
When I opened my eyes, the first thing I noticed was the enormous amount of red. There was just red. Everywhere. The red from the ambulances, red from the police sirens. Red from all the blood. I just hoped that all the blood was mine. I hoped that the unconscious Alex sitting next to me wasn't hurt. But my hopes were short lived when I noticed the blood gushing out of her right arm. There was a huge dent in the car that was putting pressure on it.

I was so thankful that she was unconscious and couldn't feel all the pain that she should be feeling. Then her eyes fluttered open.

Alex
I woke up and instantly felt a sharp pain in my arm as it was being crushed by the weight of the car. I felt weak from all of the blood that I was loosing. I could feel a doctor moving his hands all over me, making sure that there wasn't anything wrong with me besides my arm. He seemed dissatisfied with his conclusion. That was the last thing I saw before everything went black.

Hunter
I don't remember how we got to the hospital, I was watching Alex the whole time. They patched me up quickly, I only had a few cuts on my face. And now I'm watching her again. She has a tube down her throats that's taped to her open mouth. Many different machines surround her and I can only make out an IV and an EKG. The only voices in the room are a faint wishing sound, which I think is the ventilator, and the steady beat of her heart on the monitor.

She's broken pretty badly. Her arm is in a cast and her abdomen has been wrapped up. There are cuts and bruises all over her. But that isn't what bothered me the most. Her eyes were closed. So the room didn't get brighter when she was happy, and the nights were darker without those stars to light the way. I was thinking about what I would tell her when she woke up when the doctor came in.

"Mr.Pilsen?" He asked, obviously not caring.

"Yep."

"Alex has suffered from a shattered bone in her arm which is why we put the cast. She also had a few broken ribs and a massive concussion to the head. While we were repairing all of the physical damage that we could, Alex slipped into a coma."

"Ok, so when is she gonna wake up?" That's all I wanted to know. When I was gonna be able to stare into the stars again. When I was gonna be able to tell her everything that I feel, everything that I didn't have the courage to tell her before.

"Sir, we believe that she's not going to wake up." I couldn't breathe. "Mr.Pilsen, we need to take about the option of unplugging her fro-" His voice just faded away. How could he possibly think that I'd just let Alex die! I couldn't just let her go like that. I wouldn't! I would never do that, not now not ever! I- I love her. There was no other explanation for it. I was so in love with this girl that I met just a few weeks ago. She made me happy. She made me whole. And I don't think that I'll ever give up on this girl who makes me feel so complete.

"NOOO!" I screamed. I yelled at the top of my lungs. I didn't care if the whole hospital heard me. I didn't care. All I cared about was Alex.

I stomped towards the doctor, grabbing him by his neck, and pushed him against the wall. I leaned in so that our faces were less than an inch apart. I whispered to him, "She dies, you die. Got it?" He nodded frantically, his eyes full of fear. I released him and he took off running.

How could this one person bring out so many different emotions in me in one day? Hate. Love. Sadness. Even violence. I have never had a history of being violent, but one word about Alex leaving me forever, and I was threatening a man's life. How could this one girl make me feel so much?

2 weeks later

Hunter
I sat by her hospital bed and took her hand. I was so tired of hoping that she would wake up while I was at school and she'd be smiling ear to ear when I walked through the door. But everyday for two weeks I've been disappointed and angry every time I come back here. Don't get me wrong, there was no way that I was gonna give them permission to unplug my Alex. But, I'm beginning to see why people say that hope hurts. It's because of the crushing weight you feel on your chest when you discover that all your hope was false.

I didn't realize that I was crying until I sniffled and a sob came soon after it. I sobbed for a long time. Then, when I calmed down a bit, just enough for me to find my voice, I whispered something that I'd been wanting to tell her for a long time. I told her because I don't know how much longer I can feel empty. Because I don't know how much longer I can sit here without being able to really hold her or talk to her. I whispered just three words.

"I need you."

And I have never been more truthful in my life.
