-alternate ending

because i'm soft and weak, i caved and had to write this. you're welcome.

tom had alerted their tightly knit group of friends that bailey was in fact- not okay.

chris hadn't been able to sit down for any longer than a minute without freaking out. the group began to slowly trickle in. katie immediately attached herself to tom, the duo crying in disbelief.

seb and nora sat next to each other in silence, not quite sure what to say. robert had already gone over to the nurse's station surely to hassle them into getting as much information on bailey as possible.

scarlett had gone over to chris in attempts to comfort him as much as possible.

once the two doctor's on bailey's case came out, the whole group rushed over to them- eager to to find out if the girl they cared so much about was okay.

the cardiac doctor said the anorexia weakened her heart significantly, and that was ultimately what caused her heart to fail. the neuro doctor sighed in response and said they weren't sure what the damage to her brain was- and until, let alone if she woke up, they wouldn't know.

chris blearily followed them down the long, winding hallway of the hospital corridor until reaching bailey's room. chris' breath left his body as soon as he saw her. she was intubated and had two IVs running out of her arms and her body was covered in warming blankets.

he almost glided over to her, taking her small hand in his.

the group gathered around her, and the wait began.

days had passed.

everyone filtered in and out, but tom and chris never left her side.

chris knew she would wake up. she had to.

her journey was not over.

tom had went downstairs with katie to get food from the cafeteria, and chris began to quietly sing to bailey.

his voice wavered from how weak and hopeless he felt, but he wanted her to feel comforted. and bailey heard him.

she knew her battle wasn't over.

her eyes shot open, and she instantly cowered back from the brightness of the light in her room- and then she began to choke from fighting the tube down her throat. chris lept to action and pressed the nurse button before tightly grabbing her shoulders and forcing her eyes to meet his.

and once her eyes scanned his face, she knew she was okay.

she would never leave, she would survive, and she would keep fighting.

gah this ending was kinda weak, but i needed something tangibly happy to grab on to

i left the ending so open so you guys can draw your own endings on how chris and bailey live out their lives. maybe they get married, maybe they have children, or maybe chris is left with learning how to live without bailey

again, thank you guys SO much from the bottom of my heart, i love you all, and i hope you loved this as much as i did, and don't forget to check my happy chris book on my page!
