Along the way

Promises

Fear. I had that all my life. Yet I had never been so afraid in my life. Cole was shot. My only joy that was in my life was either gonna die or live. I hope and hope and hope that he will live. It has been a whole month every since the incident and he had still been in a coma. I was with him 24/7. I had never left his side.

~Friday
The doctors had decided to take him out of a coma. I was worried. Why? Because there might be a chance he won't survive. I was terrified.

It took an hour to wake him up. During that hour I was sweating. I had to change 3 times because of all the sweat. After the longest hour of my life, he was finally awake. When the doctor came out of the room I had rushed to him. His eyes was open.  I hugged him and kissed him. I was grateful that he was alive. Tears had filled my eyes. With the struggle of getting up he had hold me in his arms and kissed my forehead. He smiled and had spoke.....

"I told you I would keep my promise."

I smiled and had kissed him. I had rest my head on his head and drifted off to sleep.

That night I had dreamed about my sister. I was having a nightmare. I had always wondered why she hates me so much that she would try and kill me. Freedom. That is what I would like to feel when I escape my family. For once I feel like I don't need them. Before I always had hope that they would always come around. But that hope in my heart broke into pieces when I found out neither my brother and sister don't love me. I just feel that my sister is gone. The loving sister that would always play tea party with me. The dedicated sister that would always be on my side when my mom was drinking too much. The sister that hugs me to make me feel better. That sister I had in my heart is gone. And so is my brother. I realized my whole family is gone. Lonely. It's all I feel when my world came crashing down.

I woke up to the sound of Cole saying my name and shaking me. He had saved me once again from the dark. I hugged him so close to me. He hugged me right back as if he knew what I was going through. I cried in his arms. Still he was hugging me.

-Cole-
I woke up hearing the sound of Elena shaking and moving. She was having a nightmare. Somehow I knew the fact that if a person is having a nightmare then you can't wake them up unless it is getting physical. Although it wasn't getting physical I just had to protect her. I hugged her just like my mom hugged me before she was had disappeared out of my life. She woke up and had hugged me back. She started to cry in my chest. I held her tight in my arms hoping she wouldn't leave my side. Whatever she was dreaming it must of been bad that she was crying this much. My whole shirt was wet but I didn't care. I'll do anything for her. Even if it means that I die for her. Funny. And I thought I would never love again.

~Elena~
I fell back to sleep to the sound of Coles voice in my ears. It was soft. Quiet. Gentle. Soothing. I rested my head on his stomach and there was bumps all over it. Obviously it was Abs, but that didn't matter. He kept stroking my hair and then he stopped or maybe he didn't. I didn't really know because I fell asleep.

-Morning
I woke up from the beam of light from the window. I had stood up and kissed Cole forehead. He was still asleep. I wrote a letter that I had to go to school.

When I arrived at school I didn't pay any attention to anyone. Not the teachers. Not the wannabe princesses (mean girls). Not the nerds. Not the outcast. Not Roger. Not Alex. No one. Absolutely no one. All I can think about was Cole. Was he ok? Was he going to be alright without me to be there? My mind kept playing tricks on me. I had flashbacks when my sister had stabbed me in the back. Pain. Curiosity. Broken. That's all I felt when she did stabbed me. Although after that I still had hope she would turn normal. But we all know people aren't normal. But I knew that I DID NOT feel empty and I would never feel that way ever again because I had joy in my life and that is Cole. Always and forever........
