Torn...

Chapter 15

The next morning, Gemma was asleep on the sofa, but i was awake as i didn't sleep at all last night. I didn't want to just in case she woke up...which she didn't. It was just after 8am when Q and Joe arrived with some flowers.
"Any updates?" Joe asked.
"Nope" i whispered, so I wouldn't wake Gemma up.
"Im sure she will wake up soon!" Q said to me.

Throughout the day, many people came round with flowers and balloons for Emily. I just wanted to see her beautiful blue eyes open up again. I awaited for the day she would wake up, and Ive  never let go of her hand since.

Later that day, it was just me and Murr left in the room. He was telling Emily about his day as he read how it apparently helps to talk. But I wasn't listening to a word he was saying as i was fixated on her. I just needed to see her move, open her eyes... something... anything.. just so i knew she was going to wake up. I felt incomplete without her. The thought of her never waking up hit me, and a thousand tears ran from my eye. Murray looked up at me.
"My day wasn't that bad, bud" he joked. But as soon as he noticed i didnt laugh, he realised i was truly upset. He sat next to me and placed his arm on my shoulder.
"Are you okay?" Murr asked me.  Looked up at him, then down on Emily and shook my head, causing more tears to fall from my eye. "Whats wrong?" Murr asked.
"What if.. she.. never wakes up?" I asked him.
"She will. She is probably dreaming of you right now.. thinking of your future together, married and happily living with each other!" Murr told me. Even though he was making it up as he went along, it actually cheered me up. The thought of her thinking about me made me happy.
"I know this is a hard time for you, but she will wake up soon... i promise" Murr said to me.

3 Months Later:
It was around the end of March now, and Emily still hasn't woken up. I feel like I've practically lived in this hospital room. I haven't left her...not even once. Ive got Q dropping clothes in for me. Mary and Gemma come around everyday and so do the guys.
It was quite early in the morning, around 9am, when i opened up the curtains in the hospital, and a bit of the warm sun peeked through the window, creating a golden glow in the room. I re-tucked Emily to make sure she was comfy then went into the bathroom to get changed. I got into blue and white t-shirt and my red hoodie with jeans. I gelled back my hair and brushed my teeth. After that, i went back and sat next to Emily.
I was just sat there holding her hand and talking to her (basically to myself) when suddenly I felt her hand squeeze tightly onto mine....
