epilogue

Raven's POV

I sang along to the Misfits playing through my speakers.

I want your skull

I need your skull

I want your skull

I need you skull

Hey!

Hey!

I slowed down at an intersection, waiting for the other person to go. He motioned for me too, so I did.

Then, I see him pull out, towards me. He just told me to go, why would he want to make me crash?

I tried speeding up, but it was useless. He slammed into the side of my car. I felt my car flip at least four times, landing on its side.

My eyes began closing. Was this how I was going to die? I heard my music fade out into nothingness, and then, I was gone.

Chris's POV

My phone had been ringing off the hook for nearly ten minutes. Who the hell was calling me?

"Hello?" I said angrily.

"Finally!" Ricky growls from the other line. "Raven's at the hospital! Hurry up!"

"What hospital?" I question frantically.

"Scranton."

"I'm on my way," I reply. I hang up and run out to my car.

My girlfriend, my love. She was in the hospital. Why? Would she be okay? Questions raced through my mind the whole way there.

I ran up to the counter and demanded, "Raven Bell. I need to see Raven Bell."

"You can't yet, sir. Would you care to go sit with the other men waiting for her?" The lady points over to the waiting room.

I turn around on my heel and march over my bandmates. "What happened?"

"We don't know." Ricky shook his head. "They won't tell us."

I fell into the chair next to him. "What happened?" I whimpered. "What happened?"

I was shaken awake. I saw the guys and a doctor standing around me. I bolted upright and asked once more, "what happened to Raven?"

"Ms. Bell was in a car accident," the doctor said. "She's not yet awake. May I ask your relation to her?"

"She's my girlfriend," I say. "Her injuries. What are her injuries?"

"A broken leg, a collapsed lung, and severe head trauma. She's going into a coma. Would you like to see her?"

My bottom lip quivers and I nod. "Yes, please."

The doctor leads me into Raven's room. I see her, laying on the bed, her breathing labored. Her face looked sunken in and she was incredibly pale. She had tubes in her arms, nose and mouth.

The doctor closed the door and a sob escaped my lips. "Raven, wake up," I cry.

Nothing. She doesn't move, doesn't open her eyes. Absolutely nothing.

"Please." I beg. "Please."

Third person

Raven had been in a coma for two months. Two months of pain and agony for her friends; especially Chris.

He hated seeing that machine having to breathe for her. He hated seeing her so frail and fragile.

During that time, he would sit by her bedside and write. He told the band's manager that however long Raven was out was the amount of time they wouldn't tour or release albums.

Encapsulating
Mutilated our malice
Our intoxicated, advocating lust for a cause

The song Fatal was written for her in this time. Ricky and Josh, the manager, had talked Chris into recording it. They made a deluxe version of Infamous, just a quick something to give to the fans.

Would Raven ever wake up? Would Chris ever be the same as he once was, pre-comatose?

Oh fuck. Please don't kill me lol.
