Everything was black, I had to see some light I couldn't stand the darkness anymore. I wanted my mum, I wanted Beau. Oh my god Beau, the last time I saw him he was covered in blood and wasn't moving, last time I checked I was covered in blood too. That was it I couldn't stand it anymore. I flickered my eyes until I saw the light, but I couldn't open them all the way, what was wrong with me? I tried with all my energy and finally I burst my eyes open, I squinted and then looked around. I was in a hospital, I knew I would be, my mum was laying on a chair next to my bed with her eyes shut. I was alone pretty much, because mum was sleeping. After what seemed like 10 minutes a nurse walked in, she smiled when she saw me sitting up, I put my finger to my lips to make sure she stayed quiet and didn't wake my mum. This was it, I had to ask her. She walked over to me "excuse me" I stuttered out, my throat was really sore

"Yes dear how are you feeling? Can I get you anything? You've been sleeping for 5 days and everyone was worried sick" she smiled at me

"No I'm fine I want to see my boyfriend, tell me he's ok please! Is he okay?" I asked, I could feel the tears coming already.

"He's in intensive care darling he's been put into a coma" there they were the tears started streaming down my face and all I could think of was Beau lying there, lifeless. I kept crying, my mum woke up and we sat on my bed for about an hour, I don't think i stopped crying at all. I loved Beau do much I had to see him. I sat up in my bed after about an hour and a half, I wiped away my years and made myself stop crying. I was fine now, the doctor had told me everything would be okay and I was free to leave tomorrow. I wouldn't be leaving this hospital unless Beau was coming with me. "Are you okay dear?" the nurse asked me. My mum had left to go and get me some clothes to wear home. "I need to see my boyfriend Beau Brooks take me to him" I told her, my parents had paid for a private room and she was like my little guardian while mum was gone I guess. She just sat and watched thus tv and looked after me. Her name was Mary she was sweet. "Sure Alex can you walk or do you want a wheelchair?" she stood up and walked over to me. "I can walk I'm fine" I stood up and we walked out of the room together.

We reached Beaus room and Mary knocked on the door "come in" I heard a familer voice say, it was Gina. We opened the door and I found her sitting on a chair next to a bed, I walked over and wrapped my arms around her. "Oh Alex you're okay" she said sobbing into my shoulder. After we hugged I looked over at Beau, he looked so peaceful. He was lying there with the white blankets pulled around him and his arms out and exposed he had machines connected to him yet he looked like he was at rest, relaxed. He had things connected to his fingers and hands, I swear if I could see the guy that did this to Beau right now I would make sure he was in the same state. Beau had oxygen going into his nose so he was breathing, his chest moving up and down. "Beau Alex is here" Gina said, she smiled at me "I'll leave you, the doctors said he may be able to hear you so talk to him" she said to me before leaving the room with Mary. "Baby it's me" I said sitting in the chair next to beau, "I don't know if you can hear me but if you can you have to come back , I know you can beau I know you can hear me please, for us, I love you Beau and I can't I won't let you leave, I will be here everyday until you wake up I will" I began to cry "beau..." I took hold of his hand and squeezed it "I love you okay and just remember as long as we have these tattoos connecting us we will be together" I bent my head down and kissed his chest where the tattoo was, a tear fall onto him. I wiped it off and stood up. "I'll be back tomorrow I promise, please promise me you will wake up Beau I can't be without you I need you" I kissed his hand and walked out of the room. The amount of time he was in that coma was going to seem like ages for me. Even if it was just a week, it would drag out and seem like a year.

"Mum I'm leaving in 10 minutes okay" I called out to my mum. I had been home now for 2 weeks, yes Beau was still in a coma and he seemed like he was making no progress, but I knew he was, I knew when I spoke to him he could hear me. I had been going to the hospital everyday. Most times I slept there but sometimes the nurses would tell me to leave, or Gina would tell me I had to get a proper sleep in a proper bed. Driving at the beginning I was scared a lot, very cautious with the way I drive and not making any sudden movements, but now I was almost back to normal, I mean I would almost break out in tears if a car suddenly stopped in front of me because I would think its all going to Happen again but other than that I was fine. I was going to the hospital again today, I spent my days there I had made some friends and I had become must closer with Jai, Luke and Gina while being there. Jai and Luke were still at school but I would pick them up after school and bring them to the hospital, they liked being picked up in the Porsche but they didn't like the fact that they were driving to the hospital. It was summer now but the hospital was quite cool and kept well airconditioned, I still wore summer clothes though. I grabbed my keys off the bench and made my way to the hospital in my little Porsche. Just like every other day I sat in the room talking to Beau, reading magazines, watching TV, chatting with Gina and talking to Beau some more. My day had become routined. At 3 o'clock I would leave to go pick up luke and Jai from school, we would go back to the Brooks house, they would get changed have something to eat and I would either bring them back to the hospital with me or they would stay at home, most of the time they would come back to the hospital. Then we would spend more time there and at about 11:30 I would say goodbye to Beau and drive home and then do it all over again the next day. That was pretty much what I did today as well.

5 weeks had passed, I couldn't understand why Beau wasn't waking up, what was going on I mean there had been signs, like he and squeezed someone's hand, he had sighed one day, he had flickered his eyes but it always turned out the same with him going back to the way he was. Today I wasn't following my usual routine. I needed to let of some steam, I needed to go for a run like I did when I was upset, I would run and forget about everything. I put on some running clothes and grabbed my iPod and walked out the door, I didn't know where I was going to go so I just went anywhere. I kept running, I didnt stop, I got a cramp in my stomach and I was lost but I didn't stop running, until I really didn't know where I was. I looked around and saw a woman with a pram. "Excuse me could you please

Tell me where I am I'm a little lost" I smiled at her. "Yeah sure well you're near the cemetery, if you take that street you will be on the main road again" she smiled and walked away. "thank you" I shouted after her. I walked down the street she told me to. I was looking around, I could see the main road up ahead. I looked to my right and tried to peer in past the fence that was covering it, I saw, I shouldn't have looked. It was the cemetery, I don't know why seeing it made me feel like that but I could walk anymore, my legs went weak and I just fall to the ground, trembling, I leaned up against the fence and once again the tears started pouring out of my eyes, they were like a tap. I had my knees up around my chin and my face buried in them. I couldn't stop crying. That was it, I was loosing it, I just missed Beau so much and the seeing the cemetery and all the people that have lost their lives being buried in there just topped it all off, I couldn't stop hearing Beaus voice in my head "as long as we have these tattoos were connected" he had said, and that's how it was, no matter where he was, breathing or not, this tattoo represented our love for each other and as long as that star is on his chest and it's on my hip I will love him.
