Grayson's POV
A nurse asked, "Grayson Dolan?"
I rush up to her. "Yes, is Aly okay. What's going on"
"I have some good news and some bad news"
They always have bad news:
"Good news is that she is out of surgery. We had to perform brain surgery because the accident caused damage to her brain. Bad news is she is now in a coma"
My limbs went numb. My eyes started to burn.
"C-coma" I managed to choke out.
"That's correct. During the surgery she went into a coma. It's because her brain needs to heal and is severely damaged."
I asked, "Will she come out of it soon?".
"It all depends. Some patients stay in a coma for a day. Some stay in it for years. We never know for sure"
I went wide eyed. Did she just say a year? I looked over and saw Ethan's hand on my shoulder. I didn't even notice. He was on the verge of tears as well. It felt like my stomach flipped like a million times when she said that.
"Can I see her?" Should I even see her? Or will it just cause more pain? It was hard enough to see her sad but now she's in the worst condition possible. Well, at least she's not dead.
"Sure but visiting hours end in 30 minutes so make it quick."
She leads me to the room. I look back at Ethan. I guess he doesn't want to come. I don't know if I even want to. It'll just be more painful but I have to know she's okay.
I walk into the room and see her in a hospital bed. The nurse walks out and I sit by her bed. As soon as I sit down I start bawling. I can't believe this is actually happening.
Can she hear me?
She has stitches in her left arm, stitches on her forehead and scratches all over her body. I can't see her like this. I grab her hand. It's as cold as ice.
"Please don't leave me. I need you. There's so much I want to tell you, to do with you. I want my future to be you. Please don't go. I can't live without you. You're so strong. If you can't do it for yourself do it for me. I have to hear your voice again. Please..."
I hear someone come in. It's the same nurse.
"I'm sorry sir, visiting hours are over"
Has it really been 30 minutes?
"Okay, please just give me a minute" I didn't want to leave.
I turn back to Aly. She looked so peaceful.
"I love you. I need you."
I look up at the sky as if I was talking to god.
"Please don't take her" I beg. I've never really been to church but now was the time to pray.
I walked out of the room. Ethan didn't notice me. He had his hands around his neck and he was looking at the floor. I tapped his shoulder. He looked up at me.
"We should go." he says.
I guess he's right. I can't visit Aly and I should get some sleep if I can get any. I'll just skip school tomorrow and come straight her.
I nod as we walk out of the building. We drive home and don't say a word to each other. Today was the worst day ever.
Once we got home I went straight to bed. I didn't bother to brush my teeth or change my clothes. I couldn't care less. All I care about is Aly. I hope she wakes up.

Will she wake up???
