Don't leave me.

Chapter 21

Alx's Pov

After flying for almost 5 hours, driving home in LA traffic, and cussing out people who can't drive, I'm finally in my new apartment.

It feels different without Emily next to me, but she told me to come here and live my dream for her. So that's what I'm doing.

After unpacking all of my clothes and putting them up, my phone starts going off.

I look to see that Alyssa's calling me. That's weird.

Me- Hello?

Alyssa- A-A-Alx.

Me - Alyssa what's wrong? Why are you crying?

Alyssa- E-E-Emily's b-been in a r-really bad a-accident.

As soon as I heard that, my heart stopped.

Me- Alyssa, p-please tell me y-you're j-joking.

Alyssa- I'm not. S-Some drunk d-driver hit h-her.

Me- D-Do you k-know how she i-is?

Alyssa- She's in a c-coma. The d-doctor says she m-might not make it.

Me- What about the baby?

Alyssa- The doctor said the baby is f-fine. He also said that the b-baby will make it.

Me- Could you call me when you hear something?

Alyssa- Y-Yeh. Bye A-Alx

Me- Bye Alyssa.

We hang up and I start crying. This is all my fault, if I didn't tell her to drive my car back home, she wouldn't be in the hospital.

I go and sit on my couch with my phone in my hands. After a little discussion with myself I call the airport.

"When is the next flight to North Carolina?" I ask.

Emily's Pov

It's dark. Why is it dark? I try to open my eyes but can't.

For some reason, I can hear voices.

"She may or may not make it." A voice says. "Well how's the baby?" Another voice asks.

"The baby's doing really well actually. The one thing we fear is that if Emily doesn't wake up soon, we'll have to pull the plug." The voice says.

"Thank you doctor." The second voice says. Someone squeezes my hand. "Emily, if you can hear me, squeeze my hand." A voice says.

I try to squeeze but end up failing. The voice starts crying I think, but eventually says, "Emily, you probably can hear me but, please keep fighting. We all need you here, especially Alx. He's heartbroken right now and upset because he can't be here for you. So please, no matter what keep fighting to stay alive. I need you, Mrs. James needs you even your unborn baby needs you."

I hear the voice walk away crying. I want to scream but can't so I just lay there.
