tangled in the great escape. (pierce the veil)

chapter 21

vics pov

a month shes been in a coma for a month and she's barely made any progress at all. I've barely eaten, or showered, in fact I'm wearing the same clothes I was when I got here. I also don't go to the bathroom very often but when I do I leave the door open and try not to take my eyes off of her. when people come in here to clean they get pretty pissed off because apparently I make a mess. at the moment a nurse was in here to do some tests like they did every couple of days.

"well it looks like iris is improving. if she keeps it up we can take her off life support" she said with a smile. I was happy but she still wasn't up. I just wanted my baby girl back.

2 weeks later

they took iris off life support about a week ago and she's been improving a lot. my hand hasn't left hers, I feel better  holding it, its like she's off somewhere else and if I'm holding her hand I could somehow bring her back to me (kinda like insidious)

I was looking at all of her scars going up and down her arms, the bandages were removed and you could now see the stitches and how skinny she was. I looked at our hands, but something was different, hers moved, I didn't just see it I felt it too.

"nurse! I need a nurse!" I jumped up and started yelling. a doctor came in and I told him what happened.

"iris can you hear me? can you squeeze you dad's hand again?"

"she did it again"

"can you open your eyes iris?" then her eyes slowly fluttered opened.

my baby girl

iris pov

I opened my eyes slowly and saw dad and a doctor sitting on the bed.

"my baby girl your up" dad said

"iris can I ask you some questions please?" he's gonna wanna know why I did this. I didn't want to talk to anyone about this, not even dad, and especially not a total stranger who can mark me down as crazy.

"why did you do this?" I knew it. I'm not telling anyone anything

"iris?" I shook my head

"ok, how long have you been cutting or suicidal?" are you serious? did he want to see me cry?

"ok thats enough questions she's been through enough she doesn't need to answer your ridiculous questions" dad said

"excuse me?"

"she just woke up from a coma give her a break"

"fine, then I'll leave you two alone" he left not looking too happy.

"I'm sorry iris I'm sorry I'm sorry" dad said while pulling me into a hug and crying into my hair.

you made your dad cry again. but those those tears aren't real, there for sympathy. your not worthy of anyone to cry over.

I hated seeing dad cry like this knowing it was all my fault and I couldn't fix it. it broke me, but I still walked nothing more than to die, and no one would stop me next time
