All I want is you

Chapter 4

Ruth's POV

When mum stopped talking to the doctor she turned around and told us what had happened.

"What happened? Is she okay?" I asked.

"Well she's slipped into a coma and the doctors don't know how long she will be in it for" She said.

"Everything will be fine mum" I said giving her a hug.

"Would you like to go in and see her I will go in afterwards" he said.

Mum and I went in to see Maia while Austin stayed outside.

I went in first she was wired up to a machine helping her breath and she looked so peaceful lying there. I stood next to her and took her hand.

"I know you probably hate me as I'm your sister but I care about you and that's why I'm standing here. I know you can hear me even though you're not conscious. Please wake up. I don't know why you were rushed in here but I do want my identical twin back, things won't be the same without you" I said with tears running down my face. Mum then said something to her.

"Hi hunny, I love you so much and I want to be here when you wake up, even though that might not happen. I'm sorry wasn't there enough for you but please wake up soon, I will be back tomorrow to check on you as well" Mum said with tears also running down her face.

We walked out and then Austin walked in. We wen't home.

Austin's POV

I walked in to the room. She was there so peacefully. I wish I could tell her that everything is going to be alright. I also wish I brought my guitar to sing her a song but I just had my voice at the moment. I walked over to her and picked up her hand.

"Hey Maia. I'm so glad I got close to you and if I wasn't with you, you might not be as strong as you are now. I know you might be able to hear me but I couldn't say this face to face to you. The truth is I really like you and I want to be with you but maybe something will happen when you're out of hospital. I want to help you get better, I really do but there's nothing I can do. I would sing to you but I don't have my guitar. Please wake up soon, I feel lost without you. I will come back tomorrow night and I will sing for you then, I promise" I said. I kissed her lips. I could get used to kissing them. Just one more thing, I need to make her mine.

I walked out, trying to hold in the tears. I needed to be strong for her.

*The next day*

Ruth's POV

The next morning we got in the car to go and see Maia at the hospital.

When we arrived we went to the room she was in yesterday. She was in the same position as she was yesterday. I miss her, I know that probably sounds really strange but I want to see her walking through the door again. I pulled out my phone and texted Jay. Jay is my boyfriend and I can just be myself around him which is what I want in a guy. He's really sweet as well. He's been really supportive of me over the past couple of days as I told him Maia was in hospital and he's just been amazing. I know I look like a slut that flirts with every guy I see but I'm actually not. I may care about what I look like but I have really toned it down since we first arrived here. Maia doesn't care what she looks like, she just has to look acceptable which I love about her. She will always be my little sister (I'm older by 2 minutes.) I love her to bits because she can just be herself.

After about an hour of sitting and talking to Maia we made our way home.

Austin's POV

"Mum I'm going to go to the hospital to check on Maia, I will be back later" I shouted walking down the stairs with my guitar on my back.

When I arrived I went to the hospital room Maia was in yesterday.

"Hey, it's me again. I have my guitar and I will sing a few songs for you hoping you'll wake up" I said, getting my guitar out of my case. I started playing and singing. ---------> song on the side!

*2 weeks later*

I kept on seeing her and singing to her everyday but today was different. The whole day felt positive like she was going to wake up. Gosh I really hope that's true, I miss her loads even though I haven't known her for that long. I got out my guitar and brushed my fingers over the strings lightly trying to decide on what song to sing. I finally played Bonfire Heart by James Blunt.

Maia's POV

Mum, Ruth and Austin came into my room at some point everyday. Being in a coma is really weird as I felt lifeless, it was so much effort to move. The best way I can describe it is being asleep for ages. Austin started playing Bonfire Hearts by James Blunt. I love that song. It took all my energy just to open my eyes. I was looking up at Austin, he put his guitar down and came over to me.

"I'm going to let the doctors know you're awake" he said kissing me on the cheek and then walking out of the room, leaving me with my thoughts.

A few minutes later Austin walked back in the room with a doctor.

"We have some news Miss Hall but we need to do a few more tests just to check if it's right before we tell you" the doctor said.

"Okay that's fine" I said. The he walked out of the room.

I propped myself up a bit so I can talk to Austin. I am starting to get my energy back a bit which is good.

"I heard what you said to me when I was in a coma" I said. Austin looked blankly at me so I continued.

"You said you like me, the truth is I like you too. I didn't know how to tell you at first but you said you liked me and I just had to say it back. Thank you for the kiss on the lips the songs, everything. I really appreciate it when I don't really have any friends.

"I have a question, will you be my girlfriend?" he asked me. I smiled.

"Of course I will be" I said.

He came up and kissed me on the lips. I loved every second of it. After about a minute we pulled away.

"I'm going to go and give you a bit of room, call me if you need anything" Austin said before he walked out with his guitar on his back.

Over the next few days Austin, mum and Ruth came to visit. When they were all in the room with me the doctor walked in.

"Okay we did some more tests and we are afraid to say that Maia you have lung cancer. There's things you can do to minimise it but I'm afraid you'll have it forever and I'm sorry but theres nothing we can do about that" he said. My whole world stopped. I couldn't speak. My throat became dry and it felt like my world has just fallen through.

I have cancer. I have cancer. I have cancer. Those three words kept on swirling around in my head. Mum and Ruth left as mum started crying rapidly so Ruth took her home. Austin stayed.

Austin's POV

I stayed as I wanted to support her.

"I know you probably don't know what to say or do but I just want you to know that I'm here for you and I always will be. I will leave you to get some rest" I said and then I walked out of the room.
