33. I Love You

Lilly's POV

My Dad took me outside for a walk through the hospital's garden. Silence washed over us as we walked. "So how have you been?" I asked him with an innocent voice. 

"I have been good, I have been really good actually. But I have missed you" he says with a small smile. "You look good" I said with a small smile. "It's all thanks to Morgan" he says with a sad tone as I looked at him. 

"What you mean?" I asked getting curious. "Morgan has been helping me out ever since the day you left. She got me into rehab and keeps me on the straight and narrow" he said gratefully with a small smile.

I couldn't help but smile to myself as I remembered when she told be that everything would be okay. I still can't believe that she helped him. On the other hand I shouldn't be surprised at all, it is Morgan we are talking about.

That's when my smile fell as I pictured her still body. She has to pull through! She just has too! "She will get through this" my dad said confidently as he stopped to look at me. 

"She is the toughest person I have ever known! Plus there is no way she is gonna leave you" he said while giving me a reassuring smile. "I sure hope you are right" I said hoping that he is.

"Come on, lets go back inside" my dad says as he leads the way back into the hospital. We arrived back at the others when I doctor came towards us. "Morgan Blake?" the doctor called looking for someone speak up.

"Yes!" Mr Blake said with panic in his eyes. "The surgery was a success. She is in recovering but she is not out of the woods just yet" the doctor said calmly.

"Can I see her?" he said with hope. "Of course" the doctor said before he took Mr Blake to his daughter. I looked around everyone and you could see the bit of relief wash over them.

"So, is she gonna be okay?" Chase said softly with hope in his eyes. "Hopefully she will be, but only time will tell" Derek said as he lowered his head down. 

Tori went over to him and took his hand into hers. She gave him a little kiss on his cheek before she gave him a reassuring smile. With that I went back outside. I looked up into the sky and stared at the stars.

Please, please let her make it through this. I need her to make it through this!

****** 2 Hours Later******

It has been two hours since the doctor told us that whatever surgery Morgan had went well. All of us are still waiting around hoping we get the chance to see her. 

That's when a nurse came over to us. "You can go see her now but only two can go in at a time" she said softly with a small smile. We all just agreed and followed the nurse to Morgan.

We all stopped outside the room and looked through the window. Even though the blood is gone, it doesn't make her look any better. You can see all the cuts and the bruises on her face and arms. 

I just stood there in shock, not knowing what to do or what to think. I felt a hand on my shoulder but I didn't bother to look who it was. All I could do was stare at my girlfriend who layed beaten up on a hospital bed.

They all started going into Morgan's room and said what they needed to say. But who knows if Morgan can even hear what anyone is even saying? She is just laying there as if she is asleep.

"Hey, Lilly, you can go in now" I heard Derek said from beside me. I couldn't tear my eyes away from her and my body didn't want to seem to move.

"Lilly?" Derek called my name again but I didn't answer. I was stuck in the one spot not able to move. I don't know if I can go? I don't know if I can go in there? 

God I sound so pathetic and such a terrible girlfriend.  I slowly made myself move towards Morgan's room. I opened the door and slowly walked into the room.

I went over to the chair and sat beside her. I took her hand in mine and kissed it softly. I looked at her and gently put some loose hair behind her hair.

"Damn it Morgan. Why did you have to go and be the hero?" I said more to myself as I looked at her. "You have to pull through this, okay? I need you to pull through this! 

And when you do there is no more going off on your own. No more playing the hero. You are always protecting everyone and making sure that everyone else is safe.

But who protects you and make sure you stay safe? I know what you would say, that you can take care of yourself. But sometimes even the most strongest person needs help every now and again" I said hoping she can hear me. 

"You know I am so sick of crying and not been able to do anything to help. We are suppose to protect each other and yet I can't even protect myself never mind anyone else.

But that is gonna change. I promise you, I am gonna make sure I am able to protect you in the future, no matter what it takes. 

Because I love you. I love you so much Morgan" I said with confidence as I kissed her hand again. That's when the most terrifying sound I have ever heard rang through my ears.

Morgan's life line went flat! I started to panic as my eyes went wide. "Morgan?" I said without thinking. I grabbed Morgan's shoulders and shouted "Morgan!". 

That's when someone came in and grabbed me out of the way of the nurses and doctors. They started to work on her. I just stood there with wide eyes as the scene in front of me unfolded.

The nurses and doctors rushed to get Morgan breathing again. "Morgan" I said just in a whisper. This can't be happening. She was suppose to be okay! 

Why is this happening? That's when arms wrapped around me holding me tight. I looked up to see that it was my Dad. You can see the panic and the worry in his eyes. 

I looked back towards Morgan hoping that she will just open her eyes . "Come on and breathe!" I shouted with panic. The doctor just looked at me with a sad expression.

NO! They can't stop! "Morgan wake up!" I shouted as tears began to all down my face. That's when I felt myself being dragged away. "Morgan" I shouted again as the doctors and nurses stopped.

"MORGAN!"
