A Sweet Memory (completed)

Please stay

// " I will always care for you, even if we are not together and even if we are far, far away from each other" //

*Toms pov*

I woke up the morning to the sound of my alarm. For a moment it felt like just another morning, but then I remember it's not. I get out of bed and threw on a pair of jeans and a black hoodie. I brush my teeth and grab my keys before walking outside. I carefully picked a rose from the bush outside my house before getting in my car and heading down the street towards the hospital.

I walk into the room to see a still Kayla, she looked the same from the last time I saw her, nothing changed.

I set the rose beside her and pulled over a chair.

"good morning Kayla, Its Tom," I said while taking her hand, " I brought you a rose" I sat there for what seemed like hours. The room was silent, the only noises where the beeping from the machines. It broke my heart to see her like this if only I told her to stay that night she wouldn't be in this situation if only I didn't leave her in that airport...

My thoughts started to fill my head until I heard a knock from the door.

"Hello?" 

The door opened slowly.

"Hi tom"

" Ms.brown," I said looking up at Kayla's mom 

She walked over and placed a hand on my shoulder, I knew she was trying to comfort me but at that moment it seemed like she was the one who needed comfort. Her eyes were red and puffy. It looks like she's been crying for hours.

" Tom I came here to tell you something" her voice was laced with pain.

" yes?"

"Kayla wrote a will, she said if she was ever in a position where she was in a coma and not making any progress in the time span of two months that she wants us to pull the plug," Ms.Brown said, I could tell that she was trying so hard not to cry. I stood up and pulled Ms. Brown into a hug. At that moment my mind went blank. I didn't know how to feel, I wanted to cry but I knew I had to be there for Ms. Brown, I know Kayla would want me to be strong.

Kayla's mom broke away from the hug, " I'm gonna give you guys some time alone ok" she said before giving me a weak smile and walking away"

 I sat back down, "Kayla I really need you to wake up ok, I need you to wake up, I just got you back, please don't leave me again"

*time skip*

Day 2

I woke up to the same alarm, got dressed and picked a rose. I drove down to the hospital.

I sat the rose by the bed next to the other one. I sat there, her hand in mine, it was so cold.

" Hey Kayla, brought you a rose, I hope you wake up so you can see them while they are still bright and red"

Day 3

I woke up, got dressed, picked a rose, and drove to the hospital

Day 7

I woke up, got dressed, picked a rose, and drove to the hospital.

its been a week now, the first rose I got her was slowly withering away.

Kayla was still in a coma

day 14

I woke up, got dressed, picked a rose, and drove to the hospital.

it's now been two weeks, 14 roses, and a still sleeping Kayla

Day 30

A month and still the same routine.

Ms. Brown would always check up here and there, and Haz would stop by every few days.

But Kayla was still in a coma

Day 55

I was sitting in the hospital room when I heard a knock on the door. It opened the doctor came in with a worried face.

"Mr. Holland, I have some news on Kayla," he said with a hint of sadness

" what is it?" I questioned

" Kayla only has 5 more days until we pull the plug, and she has shown no sign of progress. She's not getting worse, but she's not getting any better. At this point, it seems like she wants to just... Let go" I could feel tears brim my eyes,

" is there anything you can do?" I said

"Medically, no. But try talking to her, try to give her reasons to wake up, because right now there is a chance she feels hopeless" I gave him a nod and left the room.

" Hey Kayla," I said trying to be strong, " I know you might feel hopeless, but you have to wake up. Think about all the memories we could make together, I know how much you wanted a family, and a house out on a farm with horses, we could have that, but you need to wake up" I was now sobbing, " please... Kayla, I love you"

At the moment it felt hopeless, but then I felt something, something the filled my body with hope, I felt Kayla's hand lightly squeeze mine

" oh my god"
