In this hospital bed, I don’t know if I could ever be more on edge and heartbroken than now. I look down at my lifeless girlfriend and say these words.
‘Skyla, that day I found you on the park bench, I knew you were a special girl. I knew I had to help you. When I brought you home and comforted you I knew then and there you were the one that was going to change my life. You let me into your life and into your heart and I promised you that I would never ever let you go. I won’t give up on us. You were my first love, my first lover and my first reason to appreciate life so much. Without you I know I will be miserable, and I know that no one will ever replace you. There could never be someone to replace you. You’re just that important to me now. You have changed my life. You mean the world to me, you’re my absolute everything. You make me the happiest and luckiest guy in the world. So for me, please keep holding on. Remember when I said I’ll catch you when you fall? I meant it. And I’ve kept to my word. I love you Skyla Morris and no one will ever change that. I know for a fact that Jai and Beau love you too. You’ve made my home a happier environment and made me a happier man. I love you baby, please don’t give up.’
Skyla’s POV
Where am I? I can feel myself in someone’s arms, I then hear Luke say the most amazing thing to me. I try to open my eyes but they feel like someone is pinning them down. I try to move, but im frozen. I try to squeeze his hand, but nothing happens. I try to speak, but my mouth won’t open. Am I dead?
I can hear Luke sobbing next to me. I can’t believe I put him in this state, but I won’t give up. I have to stay alive for Luke.
3 WEEKS LATER. – Luke’s POV
It’s been 3 weeks. The doctors said that she should’ve woken up a week ago. They said she is still alive, but in a very deep sleep. They think it’s the amount of blood she lost that she isn’t waking up. They ran a few more tests and said that there is something they need to tell me, but when Skyla wakes up.
I walk back into Skyla’s room. I’ve been sleeping here, only leaving the bed to talk to the doctors, use the bathroom or shower. Other than that, I’ve stayed right next to her in her hospital bed, hoping and praying that Skyla will wake up one day.
I get back into the bed but when I shuffle over I hear a sleepy groan come from Sky, and then her eyes pop open. She looks at me and basically screams my name. I missed those blue eyes so much. ‘Oh my god thankyou lord, your awake!’
I press the button to tell the doctor to come into the room and tell him that Sky is awake. He comes into the room and asks if we want to know what he’s been waiting to tell us. We both nod wearily and let the doctor talk.
‘Well Skyla, when you were still asleep last week, we ran some tests to see why you weren’t waking up, but we ran the wrong test but we got a positive for you being pregnant. Congratulations.’ And with that Dr Blumenthal walked out of the room.
I looked over at Sky and she looked back at me like she knew what she wanted me to say, I wanted to keep this baby. I do. But we are only teenagers. How will we afford it?
‘Baby, it’s up to you if you want to keep this baby. Whatever your decision is I’ll be here to support you fully.’
‘Luke’ I started to get worried by this, she sounded so serious and strong. ‘I’m keeping the baby.’
I grabbed her face and kissed her with all my love, I’ve waited 3 long and stressful weeks to kiss her.
