Wake Up For Me

Matt's pov

"From the first day you spilled coffee on me, I started liking you. Only your temper in the entire school could match mine. I loved everything about you that day. Even the day you ended up at Thomas' gang house, I felt from that day after meeting you helpless there that my role in your life was to always protect you at any cost. I've come to love you baby doll. I want you to wake  up... Wake up for me baby doll... "

This has been the third week she's laying unconscious after her heart transplant. Her body has been responding well to the heart considering the fact that it's her dad who donated it to her. It's either because he felt guilty for everything he had done or the fact that he held a soft spot for Natalia. Either way, I'm glad he had chosen to give it to her.

The door to her room opens and Adriana walks in. After the two of us healed from our gunshot wounds, this is the only place we have been staying, well apart from school where we only go to do most of our final exams. Claire's help has come in handy where she's been doing most of my baby doll's exams.

"Hey." Adi walks to me and I let her sit on the only chair available in the room.

Adriana's pov

"Hey." I walk to Ash and he let's me sit on the only chair that was available in the room.
Nate's health has been the same since the day of her surgery. I'm still surprised that Nicholo donated his heart to her. I guess he realized it was time to make everything right.

"I'm worried for her Adi... What if she doesn't wake up. What if the heart isn't going to respond well like the way her mother's new heart failed her. What if..."

"Ash.. She's going to be fine. Her biological dad donated it. You know chances of her surviving are high or do you wish for her to die?"
I have never really seen him worked up because of a girl. But this was no ordinary girl. It was Natalia Wakinda. The girl who had stolen my brother's heart.

" Of course you know I don't want that to happen to her. "
I could see he was worried about her. And truth be told, I was worried too. This was the only best friend I had ever had.

"Matt, why don't you go and relax. I'll look after her till you come back."

"Only she's allowed to call me Matt. The rest of you just stick to Ash. It's suits you better."

"Oh no, my brother is whipped." He rolls his eyes but I can't help but notice the blush that creeps to his face. Nate, what have you done to my brother?

"OK, I'm going out for sometime but I'll be back sooner than you expect." He pecks my forehead before leaving me with Nate.

I intertwine our fingers together before looking at her.

"You need to wake up Nate. You need to see how whipped my brother is because of you. Besides I miss you. We have a lot of catching up to do. I still can't believe that Jack was a member of the Dragon Gang and he was only with us because he was gaining information for Nicholo. In fact, he's the one who told Nicholo about you and your ring. Apparently, Nicholo had the same one as yours. One that Annabelle had given him when they were madly in love. In fact, that's
how Nicholo came to learn about you. But never mind. They are all in the past now. Well... James Salvatore and I are going steady now. He asked me out and I said yes... You really need to be there when I start going for dates so that you can tell me the dresses to wear. "

The door opens and Mark walks in.

Mark's pov

I walk in to her room carrying with me roses. I know Nate loves them. I'm surprised to see Adi seated there. I thought I'd find Matt there. He never leaves her side day and night.

" Hey.. "
She looks at me and I can see her glossy eyes. "Don't tell me you've been crying too like Matt."

"I just want her to come back to me... To us.." I give her a hug soothing her. She's been really close to Nate of late. I guess she has been the one sister she's never had. I walk to the vase and put the flowers before walking towards her bed.

"Come back to us Nate. I need someone who together we are going to talk about that makeup caked face Mandy as you like to call her.My brother is missing you like crazy and I think he's never been the same since you got admitted here. You need to..."

"How is she.." I hadn't even notice Makeup caked face Mandy walk in.

Mandy's pov

I know they are shocked to see me here considering the fact that I've never really liked Natalia. In fact I've never liked any girl that came close to Ashton. I like him yes. But as a brother. We've shared most struggles together and I didn't want the girl who he was going to fall in love with break and destroy him like his first relationship. I really care about him and I don't want to see him hurt. But I know she makes Ashton happy. So I'll let them be. They look at me and before either of them gets to talk to me, Ashton walks in.

Matt's pov

I've been thinking about it for some days and now I'm sure I know what I want. I grab the box from the shop, pay for it and walk towards the hospital. I met James on the elevator and we head towards my baby doll's room. I don't really approve of his relationship with my sister but what can I do. She's already in love. Her room is quite occupied with Mark, Nate, James and me. I'm surprised to see Mandy here. She never really liked my doll.

I look at the girl who is now our center of attraction. I kneel besides the bed and reach out to her middle left finger.
"I don't want you to die on me. You said I've lost enough people and I told you I don't want to lose any other person. Wake up for me baby doll and come back to me because I love you." I press the ring to her finger before I whisper the words I've bee dying to tell her all these weeks.

" Be mine Natalia Wakinda."

I feel her breathing intensifying as her monitor starts beeping faster. Her right index finger flinches and her body starts shaking. My gaze is fixed on her that I don't even notice the doctors rushing inside. They do what they know best while I just stand there looking at her and chanting in my head "you can't leave me baby doll." The line on the monitor draws flat and I faintly hear the doctor say.

"I'm sorry, we lost her."
