Wrong Number

Chapter 21

~Spencer~

"Please, I need to stay with her. She's scared." I said, trying to get back over to Mia.

"I'm sorry. We need you to go out to the waiting room so we can do our job." One of the nurses said. "We need to stabilize her."

"She's not breathing." Another nurse said.

I looked over at Mia and saw her unconscious. One of the nurses was putting an oxygen mask over her face to get her to breathe.

It felt like someone has just punched me in the stomach. I'm going to throw up.

I ran out of the room and down the hall to the nearest bathroom. I pushed open the door and slammed open the first stall door I saw. I dropped down to my knees and vomited into the toilet.

I fell against the stall and starting crying hysterically.

If this is it, if this is the last time I get to see Mia. I give up. I'll never forgive myself for what I did to her. I won't be able to look at myself. I'll feel sick to my stomach ever second of every day.

She can't die on me. There's so much more I need to tell her. We never even got a chance to be a real couple. I only kissed her three times.

Then... The craziest thought just hit me.

If Mia lives, I'm going to propose to her.

It's the craziest idea I've ever had. I'm insane. But I have to do it. I know she's the one I want to spend the rest of my life with.

She's been driving me crazy ever since I broke up with her. Hell, she's been driving me crazy sine that phone call. That damn phone call that brought us together in the first place.

I've never felt this way about anyone before and I love her to death. I can't go any longer without her in my life.

She's the only one.

I stood up off the floor and cleaned myself up. I went back to Mia's room and sat on the floor outside the door until I was allowed back in.

All I could think was someone is going to come out and tell me she's dead. That she didn't make it. And it will literally kill me.

I couldn't get that thought out of my head.

"Spencer?" A voice interrupted my thoughts. I looked up and saw Zach and Ms. Walhberg standing in front of me.

"What's going on? Why is the door closed?" Ms. Walhberg asked.

"Mia's unconscious. She stopped breathing. They told me I couldn't be in there so they could do there job. I've been waiting for almost half an hour now."

"What? She stopped breathing? Have they said anything yet? Is she still alive?" Ms. Walhberg was freaking out, asking one question right after the other.

"I don't know. No one's gone in or out since I've been sitting here. I don't know what's going on, but all I can think is the worst possible thing."

I started crying again. I can't do this. I need to go in there and see her. I need to know that's she's okay. And still alive.

The door opened and I immediately jumped up. It was the doctor.

"How is she? Is she okay?" I asked, wiping the tears off my face.

"She's fine. She's breathing again and she's stable. She's still unconscious but you can go in and see her now." The doctor said.

I pushed past the doctor and rushed to Mia's side.

There she was.

As beautiful as ever, even with an oxygen mask on her face and hooked up to a hundred machines.

I took her hand and held it tight. I leaned forward and kissed her forehead then whispered in her ear, "I love you, Mia."

I brushed the stands of hair out of her face and tucked it behind her ears.

I couldn't wait for her to open her eyes. For her to wake up and see me standing here beside her, holding her hand that I would never again let go of.

And then... I would ask her to be my wife.

She's the love of my life and I'll never again be afraid to be with her. I hate myself for ever making that mistake in the first place.

I turned and saw Zach and Ms. Walhberg standing at the end of Mia's bed and staring at her.

Ms. Walhberg had tears in her eyes when she looked at me and smiled.

"You love her." Ms. Walhberg said.

I nodded my head. "Yeah. I never stopped."

"I knew you did. I just didn't understand why you broke up with her. She's been heart broken and depressed for six months over you."

"I know. I hate everything I did to her. I never wanted to hurt her. I'm so sorry for everything I put her through. But I need to ask you something. There's something I want to ask Mia when she wakes up."

"Ask me what?"

I quickly turned back to Mia and saw her eyes open. Her beautiful eyes looking back at me. She's awake.

I smiled, "I need to ask you something really important. You know how sorry I am for everything. I'm sorry for ever breaking up with you and hurting you. And you know how much I love you?"

"Yes, Spencer. It's okay, you don't have to keep apologizing." Mia said, her voice slightly muffled by her oxygen mask.

"I need to. I'll probably never stop being sorry. But anyway... I thought you were going to die and I would never get to see to you again. I would never get to tell you how much I love you or see your beautiful smile that melts my heart every time."

Mia laughed. I haven't heard her laugh in a long time.

"Then I realized that you were the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I realized that you're the only girl who will ever make me happy. The only one I can love."

Mia was in tears now and I think she knew what I was about to ask.

"Mia Walhberg... will you spend the rest of your life with me and be my wife?" ...
