"What?!" I screamed, startling the receptionist.

"Uhm yes he's currently in surgery, room 625, but you can't see him."

"Alright thanks." I said and sprinted to the stairway. I tried to keep calm but I felt so lightheaded. I almost tumbled down the stairs because I almost fainted.

A/N: you guys should listen to Be Alright by JB bc why not.

I reached the floor and eventually found the room. I wasn't permitted to enter, but there was a small window in the door. I peeked through it, I could see Aaron's body, but I couldn't see his face. I was extremely worried, that I almost felt numb throughout my whole body. I slid down against the wall and hugged my knees. I stared at the wall in front of me and stayed there for a while. I felt like I could no longer cry. I felt like I've shed so much tears lately, that I have no more in me. I probably looked like I belonged into a mental facility.

A hand was placed on my shoulder and I slightly jumped. I whipped my head to my right and saw Matthew. He looked genuinely concerned about me. "It's alright to cry Soph, it doesn't make you weak. It actually shows how strong of a person you are. Let out all your tears and sadness, so you can make room for happiness. Remember it's ok to feel the way you feel and I'll be right by your side to bring you back up on your feet when you collapse." He weakly smiled and gently placed my head on his shoulder.

I frowned and buried my face in his arm. I sobbed loudly and he stroked my hair.

"It's so unfair." I cried.

"I know but it's of life." He whispered.

"Well I hate it." I sniffled.

"We all do." He lowly chuckled.

I cried onto him for a a little while longer and pulled away. I left a big dark wet spot on his jacket.

"I'm sorry." I giggled, attempting to dry it.

"Don't worry about it." He said and put his arm around me. We stayed like that for what felt like hours. I didn't mind though.

About an hour and a half later, the doors swung open. There were two nurses pushing Aaron on his bed out of the room. I sprung up eager to see if he was okay.

For a moment I swear I saw his eyes open, and he was staring back at me, with a confused and hurt look. But, the next second, he had his eyes closed, just like he's had for the past aching days.

Matthew stood up beside me and we followed the nurses to Aaron's room. I chewed at my nails to calm my nerves as the nurses pushed Aaron's bed to its original spot. As the nurses walked out the door, I hurried to Aaron's side. I held his hand and shook it.

"Aaron," I whined. "When will you wake up, it has felt like an eternity in the time I've spent without you. I miss you so much and I just want you to hold me." My voice cracking in the middle of my sentence. I waited for a few minutes. He didn't budge. The only movement I could feel was at his wrist, where I felt the gentle beating of his pulse. I sighed and sat down on a chair against one of the walls.

"He'll be alright, don't worry Soph," Matt said, kneeling in front of me.

"Is it even possible to not worry." I raised my eyebrows at him.

"Well I don't think so, you're right. But I hate seeing you like this. I want you to be happy." He stated and I smiled.

"So do I."

"Here Soph, come sit on the floor with me." Matt smiled and patted on the cold tile next to him. I picked myself up and sat down next to him. We were shoulder to shoulder, and I rested my head on him. He intertwined our fingers.

"I miss him so much Matt." I whispered.

"We all do Sophie." He sighed.

"When do you think he'll wake up?" I asked, removing my head from his shoulder, and looking him in the eyes.

"Soon." He said.

"How do you even know if he will?" My lip quivered as the words came out of my mouth.

"Because Soph, you're worth it. You're worth fighting for. Aaron will fight for you, and he will win, because you're amazing."
