Too far//Zach Herron

053

I slowly opened my eyes to see blurry figures standing above the bed.

"Ma'am do you know where you are." One figure asked.

"What." I asked looking around.

"What about your name do you know your name." The same figure asked.

"No." I said while shaking my head no. "Where am I."

"You and your husband were in a car accident you've been in a coma for a month." The figure said as I sat up.

"My who."

"Your husband our dad." Two figures said from the corner of the room.

"Everything's blurry." I whispered rubbing my eyes slowly getting my vision back.

"You really don't remember." A boy said walking over to me. "Your our mom he's our dad you're married happily married for a long time 14 years actually you're Megan and he's Zach the power couple Mach please mom you have to remember I'm Zane she Amanda the oldest even though she didn't come from you come on mom-."

"Zane you can't push it bud." Amanda said holding his hand. "Dad lost his voice he can't speak or sing We're gonna figure this out right."

Zach wrote something down on the note pad and the kids left. He walked over to the side of the bed and sat beside me. A tear rolled down his face and landed on our hands.

"I'm sorry." I said and he shook his head no. He grabbed his note pad and wrote something down.

It's not your fault you have nothing to be sorry for.

Can you do something for me.

"Yeah."

Remember something just a little it will some to you slowly. Can you call me "my love" Like you used to. Please.

"Of course my love." I smiled and more tears slipped down his face.

The nexts day Zane's pov

I had to go to school today. I've already missed a bunch. I miss my mom and dad. I miss my dad singing to mom while they made dinner. I miss mom helping me with my homework.

"Aye Zane I heard your dads a mute that true." My bully asked as I help my head low.

"Don't talk about my dad." I said while I walked past him.

"Oh yeah and what are you gonna do call your big sister." He laughed and I turned around. "Am I suppose to be scared by you."

"My mom is in the fucking hospital right now she just woke up from a coma and she doesn't know anything show some damn respect my dad can't talk he would if he could I almost lost my parents you asshole so let me hear one more thing come out of your mouth about my parents." I growled while pinning him to the wall by his shirt collar.

"So your mom doesn't remember loving you." He laughed and I started wailing on him only to get pulled off my sister.

"Mom wouldn't want this Zane chill out." She said while pushing me into the locker. "He's not worth it he's a asshole remember who we are keep it in your mind dad won't be able to speck ever again and mom might never remember us or she might but then put herself through hell because her husband can't ever say I love you or sing to her ever again please be normal for them I'm begging you they can't handle this on top of everything else."

"Got it." I said fighting back the tears. Then I whispered. "We did nothing to deserve this."

Slowly Megan got her memory back but Zach. He never said I love you again. He never sang to her while she drifted to sleep. She didn't ever remember his voice that's the only thing she didn't get back. Not only can she not remember but she can't make new memories with it. She watched videos on videos of him talking but it just made it worse. Zach's singing career was over. Zach wasn't fixable. They went to doctors to see if they could fix it but there was no use. He'd never sing like a angel again. He'd never say those three words that meant so so much to them ever again.

But he never forgets to write Megan a new love note every night since he can't tell her how much she means to him. She feels like a teenager again crying on the bathroom floor in the middle of the night. It was her fault the car accident happened she wanted a late night snack run. A drunk driver his them head on Zach his his neck on the steering wheel. If only she didn't want snacks. Why'd it happen to them. Nobody knows. Zach's last dying wish was to say I love you to his family and friends and sing his beautiful wife's favorite song to her. That's it. Why is it so much to ask for. Why is happiness so hard. Why can't it always be like in the princess movies with the happy ever after. He tried so hard to be the man Megan fell in love with. Not talking is Zach's greatest fear. And now he's living his worst nightmare.

But you best bet he did everything in his power to make sure Megan was okay. But while he was asleep she'd sneak into the bathroom lock the door run the sink water sit on the floor and cry and wish everything could go back to normal. Because this this what she was living was hell. She loved his voice. Yes sometimes it got annoying but that doesn't matter. She'd pick annoying over silence any day.

Authors note: sorry it took so long to get this out. I kept putting off because I knew I would cry. I hate crying btw. Thank you for everyone who read this. I worked really hard on it. It's one of my longest stories I've wrote. I'm proud of how many people read this. I've wrote more books. I'm about to come out with a Corbyn Besson story.
