The Drummer's Daughter (PIERCE THE VEIL)

Chapter 23

VIC'S POV
It's been 2 months since Cen was hit by a car. Scars covered her face, arms and legs. The doctors wanted to take her off life support every two weeks but Mike wouldn't let them. It hurt to see my little brother so upset and distraught. Aly convinced him to go with her and the others to get some food so now it was just me in the hospital room.
"Please wake up, Cen," I whispered to my niece. "Would you wake up if I sang to you?" I took a deep breath and started singing.

I kissed the scars on her skin
I still think you're beautiful
And I don't ever wanna lose my best friend.
I screamed out, "God, you vulture,
Bring her back or take me with her."

Tear it down, break the barricade
I want to see what sound it makes
I hate this flavor with a passion and I fucking hate the aftertaste

How does it feel?
How does it feel? Well it feels like I'm on fire!
Wake up, I know you can hear me.

Make me a promise here tonight, love like a tidal wave
Dreamless in early graves, I never want it to be this way
The chemicals will bring you home again
This is it, when it's done, we can say that,
When it's sudden death we fight back
Oh, yeah

Pretend like I don't entice you
I've seen you circling the sky above my head
You traitor

I will never be taken for granted again
Keep digging holes in the desert
Say a prayer for you

I know that you're in pain
But if we die at the same time does it still scare you?

Make me a promise here tonight. Let's go!
Dreamless in early graves, I never want it to be this way
The chemicals will bring you home again
This is it, when it's done, we can say that,
Oh my God we're not gonna make it

We will bring the tidal wave
We will bring the tidal wave
We will bring the tidal wave
We will bring the tidal wave!

We will bring the tidal wave
We will bring the tidal wave
We will bring the tidal wave
And nothing will remain

She's mine
You stay away from her
It's not her time.
'Cause, baby, I'm the one
Who haunts her dreams at night,
Until she's satisfied.

Make me a promise here tonight, love like a tidal wave
Dreamless in early graves, I never want it to be this way
The chemicals will bring you home again
This is it, when it's done, we can say that,
When it's sudden death we fight back!

I grasped her hand just wanting to feel her tighten her grip. I thought I felt her squeeze lightly but guessed it was just my imagination until she squeezed my hand again. I jumped up with excitement and called for the nurse or doctor, who ever was closer. They kicked me out of the room while they did tests to see if they could take her off life support.
"What's going on?" Mike asked frantically. "Did you let them take her off life support?"
I smiled and shook my head. "She's going to be ok, Mike,"
"What happened?" Aly asked me.
"I was singing to her and she squeezed my hand."
We waited in the waiting room for any news.
"You can go see her now," the doctor said. "But only two at a time."
"Vic, come in with me?" Mike asked. I nodded.
We walked into Cen's room to see her sitting up and awake. Mike ran over to her and gave her a hug.
"Hey, Daddy," she croaked. "Hey, Uncle Vic,"
I walked over and joined in the hug. I was just relieved that she was ok. Everything was going to be ok.
