Now That I've Found You...

"Hi honey. We've been waiting for you. She's waking up!" I could hear my mom softly yelling..

"Hey Mannie, it's Lucas. If you can hear us squeeze my hand. I squeezed his hand and he went to get the doctor. As I examined the room, I fell into a panic questioning my mother.

"Bennie! No no no Marcus! Oh my god where's Bennie?!" I yelled as I began to bawl.

"Calm down sweetie, Bennie is right next to you in the other bed. We made sure you guys stayed together. Look, see?" She assured me as she pulled the curtain showing Bennie in another bed on the other side of the room. I started to relax.

"What happened? Why are we here? Oh no where's Marcus?!" My heart started to race again and doctors rushed in.

"Ms.Slone, hi my name is Dr.Matthews. Welcome back. You and Mr.Bold over there were in a car crash and have been in a coma for the past two, three weeks. As you can see, Mr.Bold hasn't awoken as of yet but he's pulling through..." She rambled on. I just want to know that Bennie's okay.

*FOUR DAYS LATER*

I was sitting at his bedside, my hand in his just staring at his unconscious body. How did this happen? How could it have gone this far? Marcus wanted to have me so bad that he put us all in the hospital? What if he doesn't make it?! What if Bennie doesn't wake up from the coma?

"Oh god. Baby please don't leave me!!" tears started to roll down my face and then I finally felt his hand move in mine. "Bennie?" He tried to speak. "No don't speak. Here drink some water." He wiped my tears, which were uncontrollably flowing by the way. I kissed his hand and he smiled. No one knows how depressed I'd get just thinking about never being able to see that smile again. Or feel the warmth of his body when we hugged and cuddled. Or that beautiful right tingly feeling I get every time we kissed. I looked back at him and he mouthed three words that I thought I would never ever get to hear again.

"I love you too babe. Forever and always."
