Song: Picture Perfect by Escape The Fate

Melody

I spent all my extra time next to Tyler's hospital bed. If I wasn't at school or sleeping, I was sitting in an uncomfortable plastic chair beside an unconscious Tyler. I just wanted to make sure I was right there when he woke up. My mum kept telling me that Tyler's mum, who was perfectly fine now, would contact me as soon as Tyler woke up, but it wasn't enough in my opinion. My dad seemed to understand. Maybe because he knew if it was my mum laying in that bed, he'd never leave her side either. 

I was kind of mad at Tyler's mum. For some reason, I felt this was all her fault. If she hadn't forced Tyler to move, he would be fine. If she hadn't thought her job was more important than her and her son's happiness, he would be fine. Another thing that bothered me was that even though her son was in the hospital, she still went back to work as soon as she could. Her company said they could still use her help at the location she worked at, so she went back as soon as they let her out of the hospital. She didn't seem to care if she was there when Tyler woke up. When she did come to the hospital, she'd bring some work to do. The whole thing just seemed so disrespectful. If I was in a coma, I wouldn't want to wake up to my own mother doing her work at my bedside especially when her work was what put me in the coma. She was so fucking heartless. I had never had a problem about Tyler mum's until then. That was also why I wanted to be there when he woke up. His mum either would be at the office or be working at his bedside. I just wanted to be there ready to embrace him when he awoken.

He had been unconscious for over two week. By now, the nurses knew my name. I was the only one in the room. His mum was at the office. I was doing my math homework, but I looked up from my paper at least every other problem. Of course, looking all the time was useless. Tyler's body still laid in the hospital bed lifelessly. I wished he would just wake up. I just wanted to her his voice again and feel him kiss me. I just wanted him back. I didn't even believe in God, but I was seriously thinking about praying. 

For awhile, I concentrated on the stupid math homework my bitch of a teacher had assigned. After a few minutes, I swear I heard a rustle on the bed, but when I looked up, Tyler still was motionless. I looked back down at my worksheet and tried to keep myself focused. My mum kept saying that if I was going to spend all my time at the hospital, I had to keep my grades up and I had no intention of letting them slip just so she would make me stay home.

"Melody," a voice croaked out. I looked up to see Tyler's eyes open and him trying to sit up. As soon as my irises met his brown ones, I felt tears prick at my eyes. It looked like I didn't need hope anymore. There he was, awake and alive.

I didn't even know what to do, but my body suddenly took over. I practically threw my homework on the grungy floor and ran to his side. I wrapped my thin arms around his body and I swear I heard him chuckle. I had missed that sound so much over the last two weeks. I let him go just enough to hold him at arms length and take him all in. The cuts and bruises on his face were fading now, but it was obvious something had happened to him. He still looked perfect in my eyes, though. I was about to tell him not to laugh at me because I was really worried about him when his lips crashed into mine. The feeling that I had come to know over our short relationship, but had longed for over the last two weeks filled my body. There was no way to explain how I felt when he kissed me. I felt like I was on the top of the world when his lips were on mine, when his hands were wrapped around my skinny torso. Kissing him just felt so...perfect.

When he detached his lips from mine, I just looked at him with tears of joy running from my eyes and a smile twitching my lips. "I love you so much," he whispered before pressing his forehead to mine. I was surprise that all this touching wasn't hurting him since he had so many scars from the accident. 

"I love you so much more," I responded. As cheesy as it sounded, these last couple of weeks got me thinking how I would handle it if he died and I would just be a mess. I had never loved someone that much, well, besides my parents and siblings.

"That's not possible, Mel," he replied, a big grin stretching across his face, the amazing smile I had missed seeing. He didn't realize how much I needed him. Even though we hadn't been together too long, I couldn't imagine life without him now.

"It is. With you've being unconscious for two weeks, I've been thinking about what it would be like if you died and I don't wanna live in world without you in it," I confessed. I had been so scared that instead of hearing his voice again I would hear the constant beeping of the heart monitor become a long shrill beep.

"Don't worry. You're not getting rid of me that easily, but was I really out for two weeks?" be asked in awe. I guess being in a coma for that long did seem kind of long.

"Yep," I responded with a sympathetic nod. When he said it, it did seem like a long time, but I would've sat next to him for years if I needed to.

"And you're still sitting here, waiting for me to wake up?" he questioned in astonishment. I couldn't believe he was surprised that I had been by his side for so long. Did he really expect me to abandon him?

"Well, of course. I just wanted to be here when you woke up," I answered. I didn't mention the fact that his mum didn't seem to care and that was why I had made sure I was with him at all times.

"That's why I love you so much," he told me. Again, the way he talked was very cheesy, but everything I said was the truth. "Where's my mum?" Tyler asked suddenly. I looked down a bit, wishing I didn't have to tell him where his mum was. I didn't want to have to tell him that his mum hadn't been here too much.

"She's at work," I replied, hoping he wouldn't be too affected by the abandonment of his mother. If my kid was in the hospital, I would be there until they kicked me out, but I guess that was just me.

"Oh," was all he said before loosening his grip on my waist. He seemed upset about the fact his mum wasn't there. "I guess you're better than her anyway," he told me out of the blue, looking a bit more cheerful. I let out a chuckle and gave him a grin before he gave me another kiss. I wished we could stay like that forever. I couldn't think of a time I had been happier.

AN: I just wanted to let you guys know, I'm going to be ending this story soon. There will probably be two or three more chapters before the end. If you guys want anything to happen before Tyler leaves, let me know. Also, I probably won't be able to update next week because I'll be on vacation.
