You are never alone. {ON HOLD}

chapter 11

Emma's POV:

Did I just dreamt that or what ? No no Liam really squeezed my hand ! I'm not losing it, it wasn't a hallucination, it really happened ! Niall came back with the doctor.

"Liam, if you can hear me squeeze my hand please" the doctor said holding his hand, I looked at their hands but nothing happened.

"Liam come one boy, squeeze my hand" the doctor repeated, but no reaction... My eyes got watery "I bet I felt him squeezing my hand" I said sobbing, Niall laid his hand on my shoulder and made a little squeeze, "say something" the doctor said, I gave him a confused look, "talk to Liam" he said like he was in a rush, I looked to Liam through my tears, I blinked couple times and the hazy view became clear. "Liam please, squeeze his hand.. I know you can do it, I know I felt it..." I said, I looked at the doctor, his face was serious and he was concentrating. After waiting couple seconds a wide smile appeared on his face. "He did it, he squeezed my hand" he said smiling and let Liam's hand go. I looked at Niall and hugged him, this was a good sign. "But why did I have to talk to him ?" I questioned, still confused. "Well" the doctor started, his face was also kinda surprised but confused at the same time "Liam reacts on your voice" he said, I widened my eyes, did I hear this clearly ? How's that even possible ? "I guess it's because he's used to hear your voice. You were probably good friends, when someone's in a coma they see the best memories and you're probably a part of them" the doctor said smiling, my cheeks colored red. So, Liam's sort of dreaming about me ? I was afraid he wouldn't recognize me anymore when he'd wake up.. But that won't happen now. "So he will wake up soon ?" I questioned hopeful, the doctor smiled comfortingly, his smile is so warm. He nodded "yes, now we're sure he can wake up any moment" he said smiling widely and left. I looked at Zayn and Niall who fisted each other with huge smiles on their faces. "you were right" Niall said rubbing my hair so it was one big mess now. I giggled lightly "My name's Emma, I'm always right" I said, Zayn coughed sarcastically and Niall laughed.

They stayed for a while, the visitor hours were already over, but when the nurse came she just smiled at us and didn't say anything about it.

"I think it's about time we're going back home" Niall said as they both stood up "Immediately call us when he wakes up or when something about his situation has changed" he said when he kissed my cheek, I nodded and kissed Zayn's cheek "bye guys" I said they put up their hand and closed the door behind them. I sighed and looked at Liam, he's so beautiful.. He looks so peaceful. I sighed and kissed his hand. "I miss your voice and sweet words Liam.. Please wake up soon..." I said as I felt a little squeeze, I giggled lightly and laid my head on his chest, I didn't let go of his hand.

***************

Couple days later, Liam still didn't woke up and he was only responding on my voice. His family came everyday 2 hours because they were working and Olivia also had a vacation job. Most of the time I was alone with Liam, and I tried to sleep as much as I could, it were very long days, I barely slept. And for some reason I cried a lot, maybe it's because he still didn't wake up... But I blame it on the tiredness.

I sat on the chair next to Liam's bed, laying with my feet on his bed, holding his hand tight and letting my head rest on my own shoulder, I almost fell asleep when I felt him squeezing my hand, without I said something. I didn't opened my eyes, I thought I was already sleeping and I dreamt it. Bit later I felt another squeeze followed by someone rubbing my hand. "E-emma ?.." I heard someone saying quietly and weak, I could barely understand it but I directly opened my eyes and looked at Liam, his eyes were open! I didn't dreamt anything of it, HE WOKE UP! I shouted in my mind, my eyes got watery and I pressed on the alarm bell since it would take minutes until I founda nurse and until I'd be back. Now Liam was the one who was holding my hand tightly, he was rubbing it slowly with his thumb, I smiled at him as some tears rolled down my cheeks. I planted a kiss on his forehead and saw him staring at my face, probably at those ugly bruises. He was still too weak to say something, he tried to say something but I shook my head "don't say anything, you need to rest. The nurses are coming" I said sobbing. 

And I was right, the nurses came and they called Liam's doctor, they did investigations and he normally could go home in couple days. While they were doing the investigations I called his family first and then I called the lads. Everyone was on their way, after making the calls I went back inside.

Two nurses were still inside doing some things, Liam was still very weak, he was thirsty and I helped him to drink.

I put my arm under his neck and pulled up his head a bit as I  carefully helped him to drink some water, he smiled thankful to me. It didn't take long when everyone arrived, everyone hugged and kissed Liam and almost everyone was sobbing. Around 7am everyone left because the doctor told them to. I was about to leave too when Liam held my arm "don't go" he mouthed to me, I looked at the doctor and he sighed. "Liam, you need some rest now. Emma won't leave the hospital, she's just gonna eat something and when you wake up she'll be back" the doctor said, I planted a kiss on his cheek and went with my hands through his hair and smiled at him while looking into his eyes "I'll be back before you know" I said, he smiled and closed his eyes. I left to eat something at the cafetaria, I ate as fast as I could, but I wasn't really hungry so eating didn't take long, but walking with crutches didn't go that quick so it took 45 minutes until I quietly sat back next to Liam's bed.

Next day Liam felt better, he could talk again and he was able to walk, he was't feeling weak anymore because he had to take medication and vitamins.

Liam was sleeping and I had a wonderful idea.

I called something and only 10 minutes later it was ready. I got it and went back to Liam's room, meanwhile he already woke up, he looked at me with a huge smile on his face, he was smiling from ear to ear when he saw I was holding 2 pizza's and I already let someone bring some of his favourite movies. I closed the door clumsy and planted myself on the chair next to his bed as I set both pizza's on his lap. "you're the best" he said still smiling widely and kissed my cheek. He opened his pizza box, of course I ordered his favourite one.

A nurse came to put the dvd in the dvd player because I wasn't able to do it with my stupid crutches. But what I hated the most were the terrible bruises on my face and entire body, the doctor told me it's normal it's not getting better yet, they will stay long he said.

Liam and I watched movies the whole night, we watched some comics and both our pizza's were finished.
