Slow dance with you

If

Beep beep beep

Beep beep beep

Beep beep beep

'Can someone turn off that fucking alarm?'

Beep beep beep

Indigo eyes snapped open as pale lips tried to yell but a tube stopped everything. Fear prickled in...

Keith sat up quickly pulling at his throat frantically but felt someone hold him back almost immediately.

"Hey kid your okay, your in the hospital," a woman told him quickly with a kind voice.

Keith wheezed at the tube down his throat but looked up at a blond woman confused and scared.

"You got in a pretty bad crash bud, try taking it easy," she slowly rested him back on the hospital bed but Keith shook his head.

"Your friend is over there," she smiled pointing to Keith's right. He looked over and saw lance with a tube down his throat and other devices hooked up to the teen Cuban.

Keith quickly tapped his throat looking at the nurse hoping to get the tube removed. She caught on and did so as keith gasped for his own breath and coughed harshly.

"What's wrong with him? How long have I been out?" Keith rasped as his throat felt way to dry. She handed him a water.

"Not long kiddo, you two got rushed here about seven hours ago, your mothers are here, they're just getting something to drink, his mom really ain't going to sleep tonight I guess," she motioned to lance again as keith chugged the water but spit up a little when he choked on pain.

"Hey take it easy, you have a spiral fracture in your wrist and your head really got a hard hit, other than bruised ribs along with your hips messed up a little from the impact your going to live and be just fine," the nurse smile gently looking at Keith's charts and he nodded.

"What about lance? Why isn't he awake either?" Keith gulped sitting up more as he held his ribs a little.

"His body is in shock... I'm afraid he's in a coma, we're going to be transferring him to surgery in eight hours..." the nurse sighed sadly as keith looked at lance wide eyes.

"What-Why? What happened to him?" Keith whispered as his chest tightened.

"Well from what I've read, massive ass concussion, broken nose, shoulder was popped out of the socket but somehow was put back in before?" She pursed her lips and Keith nodded. It might've been him dragging lance out of the car.

"But his ribs are cracked, and one is to close that any more movement it may puncture his lung, there's no clue when he'll wake up or if.." she sighed shaking her head sadly.

"If?" Keith snapped.

"His body has gone through a lot of trauma and his brain is pretty raddled up, there's the chance he might give up before the surgery and could die... but any time after that it's up to him on if he wakes up or not," the nurse explained disappointedly and notice keith cover his face to hold back the tears.

"He has to wake up," Keith whispered.

"Think about it like this, when he's in a coma, he's most likely dreaming, and with the trauma his body is in, it's going to be hard to face reality," the nurse nodded and Keith bite his bottom lip watching lance.

"Mijo," he heard from the door way, he suspected maria to wrap her arms around him as it was her voice he heard first but the smell around him was unfamiliar.

"Keith your okay," krolia whispered holding Keith tightly as his nose rested on her shoulder as his eyes were wide.

"L-lance is-" Keith tried to tell them but he choked once again on his words and felt maria put her hand on his head as she brushed back his bangs.

"I don't know if he's going to wake up," Keith whispered. "I don't know if I'm going to get to ever hear his voice again mom," he held onto krolia's shirt tightly burying his face in her shoulder.

Krolia looked at her son and squeezed him tighter as tears came to her eyes hearing that word for the first time. Mom. Her son, the boy full with so much despair and anger called her mom, he was so terrified for this boy that he needed mom. He needs his mother.

"I know, I'm here keith, I'm here for you," krolia whispered running her fingers through his hair as maria smiled at the two as keith looked at her heart broken.

"Maria-maria I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry," Keith pulled away as he looked at her full of guilt.

"Mijo Mijo don't be, this isn't your fault, you had no control," maria laughed with tears in her loving eyes.

"I'm so sorry you have to go through this again," Keith reached for her hand and she smiled kissing his forehead.

"I'm just as scared as you are Mijo, your not alone," she whispered against his forehead and Keith held her hand tighter.

"He's going to wake up, my Mijo knows he has a life to live for, he'll wake up," maria gulped nodding, Keith couldn't tell who she was convincing, him or her.

"But what if he doesn't..." Keith whispered.

"He will, I pray for him and all of my children every night for seven years now, god will help our family," maria sighed looking at her little boy in the bed and walked over to the chair and sat next to him, holding lances hand tightly.

Keith closed his eyes as he let her stay optimistic for her son. But he never believed in god, he seemed like a joke, God looks down at his 'children', how many must suffer before he helps, how many must die? Keith couldn't help but once felt rage at the word of god.

"Do you need anything? I can go get you anything," krolia asked as keith opened his eyes.

"Ice cream?" Keith asked looking up at her.

Krolia smiled and nodded walking out knowing keith just needed a moment to gather everything that's happened, let him adjust.

Keith looked at lance again as maria was slowly falling asleep with her hand wrapped around lances gently yet sternly. He waited for her to sleep before he sat up straighter and inhaled deeply while clasping his hands in his lap and bowed his head down a little, closing his eyes.

"Hey... god... I know your not to familiar with me, I'm pretty sure it's mutual..." Keith whispered to himself ignoring the feeling of humiliation.

"But this isn't about me, or maybe it is, it doesn't matter, this is about someone I'm pretty sure you can guess who you cloud sitting jackass, this is about lance, and he believes in you, the good of you, the you that accepts people for who they are, their mistakes, preferences, that one, and I hope this is the one I'm speaking to now," he grumbled with a shrug.

"Just give lance this chance to be the man he already is, I mean it'll be the second time and third times always the charm right? He's been through shit and his family really needs him... let daya grow up with the love rosy and Leo have..." Keith pursed his lips frustratedly as his knuckles starter to turn white holding each.

Keith listened to the heart monitor of his and lances as they beeped annoyingly but they where the same pace. Keith looked at the mother and son as he wished he could just talk to lance.

"Please you fucking mystical fuck, please, I love him,"
