Sawyer, wake up.

I groan. I lift my head to see Faye still asleep and still plugged into her machines.

Are you awake? her voice whispers in my head.

How are you doing this? Aren't you asleep?

I am, but my brain isn't really. I don't know what's going on. Sawyer, everything hurts. She sobs, and it makes my inside churn.

I look up at her face and see a single tear run down her cheek.

Faye, when you wake up, I'm going to be here. I'm going to be here through all of it. I'll try my best to help you through the pain.

I love you Sawyer.

I love you too, Faye.
