The final love, of the final life

Chapter 7

I woke up at 9:00 a.m. Wow they finally let me sleep in! I got up to go to the bathroom and I fell on my back. The last thing I remember I seeing everything completely black. I could hear everything but I couldn't move.

I heard a door open and my family's cry's.

"Do you know when she'll get out of it?" my dad asked.

" Well, there's no way of knowing. Comas are one of those things that are just unpredictable. I'm very sorry," the doctor said.

I'm in a coma. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Cancer, coma, and hospitals. I wish I could just wake up. I fell asleep, well, what I thought was sleeping, and then was woken up by some girl. I looked around and had no idea where I was.

"Hi Chloe," the girl said.

"Hi. Who are you and where am I?"

" I'm Cameron, and this is The Place."

"What does that even mean, The Place?"

"It's where everyone in a coma goes."

I looked around and saw a lot of kids. One boy looked very familiar. I walked up to him and said hi. He stared at me. It was Josh. My old friend Josh!

"Josh!" I yelled at him. "It's me, Chloe," I said.

He wrapped me in a huge hug. I really missed him. There was a lot to talk about. I hadn't seen him in two years. But then I remembered we were all in a coma.

" So how long have you been here?" I asked him.

" About a week. And I see you just got here."

I nodded.

" Let me tell you one thing Chloe. A day here, is a week there, in the hospital."

I looked at him with tears in my eyes.

" So I've been here for like two days then."

"Yes."

I was in shock. I couldn't have my family in pain like this. I have to wake up. I have to wake up! I have to wake up!

"Chloe!" Someone screamed in my ear.

I looked around but everything was blurry. I noticed that I was back in my hospital room.

" Mom! Dad! Noah!"

"No baby, it's me, Chris."

I just rolled my eyes and tried to go back to sleep.

" Look, I know you don't want to talk to me right now, but I need to say something."

I nodded.

" When I said we needed a break, I didn't mean it. As soon as I said it, I regretted it completely." He paused and a tear rolled down his cheek.

" Chloe, I miss you and I want you back. I love you and I'm not breaking my promise. I'll love you forever and that's how long we'll be together. Forever."

By now I was crying non stop.

" I love you too Chris."

I sat up and kissed his lips softly. He pulled me in for a hug and I snuggled into his chest. Then the doctor came in and sat down with my parents and brother.

" I have some good news. The cancer is starting to go to a minimum, being that you could fight it off more while you were in a coma. Sleep helps you fight diseases easier, so we can assure you that it helped."

"How long was I in my coma?" I asked.

" About three weeks."

Josh was wrong. Unless I was in The Place for that long of a time.

"We will still need to continue with chemotherapy for a while longer, until it is completely gone," continued the doctor.

I was glad my cancer was finally going away, But the bad thing is my hair is too. I have a peach fuzz head, and that's not something I want.

About two hours after chemo, a nurse came into my room to make sure I was still alive.

" So pumpkin, we're having a little dance here on Saturday. You can bring a date with you if you would like," she said winking at me.

I looked over at Chris and he looked at me. He smiled. But then I thought about how I needed a dress and some shoes....and hair! The nurse left soon after and so did Chris. It was just my mom and I, because Noah and my dad went out for lunch.

" So honey, I asked the Dr. Lewis if it was okay if we went shopping, you and me. He said that would be fine as long as we're not out for too long." My mom said with a grin.

"Yay!" I squealed. " I'll be in the shower mom," I said.

She nodded and sat down on the chair to watch some tv. When I got out of the shower I through on a pair of parachute pants and a shirt and waited for my mom.

" Alright, the doctor came in and said you need to be in the wheelchair just in case you get tired or dizzy." My mom explained.

And with that being said we left to the mall.
