Unrequited Love ~Lams~

43

*A Week Later*

It's been a week and John still hasn't woken up.

Everyday after school after I visit him in the hospital, usually with Laf, Herc, Peggy, or Angelica.

Half the time I fall asleep next to him. It seems like years since I have stayed at my own house.

I put my book bag down on the ground, and sat down next to John. I pulled out my homework. I subconsciously grabbed his hand with my write hand, and worked with my left, completing a math problem.

I felt a slight squeeze.

You're just imagining it.

I continued back on my work, until it happened. I looked up, seeing John's fingers wrapped about mine. As soon as I noticed this, the heart monitor started to beep loudly.

My eyes widened. I slammed my hand on the button that alerts the nurses, continuing to hold John's hand.

A half a dozen of nurses rushed into the room, pushing me out of the way. I was about to reach for John, before a nurse told me that I had to leave, physically pushing me out of the room.

I stared at the closed door.

What's going on?

I took out my phone, my hands shaking. I dialed Herc's number.

"Herc?" I said with a shaky voice.

"Hey Alex, what's up? I'm with Laf, you're on speaker phone." He said through the phone.

"Hello mon ami!" Laf exclaimed.

"Guys... it's John."
