The Farmer's Daughter

Landon's P.O.V

Wait. Wait. Wait. That is what I have been told to do. Wait. I have been waiting for hours. The hours that have been passing by excruciatingly and painfully slow. Travis, Ella, and Lily's parents have been staring at me for those hours. I played with the wedding band that was on my finger. The band that meant that I was hers Forever. A tears silently slid down my cheeks. She is my forever as I am hers, but she signed the DNR. The freaking paper that basically says let me die. I know she is in pain and if I have to choose to have her here in pain and unhappy or let her go, my selfishness wants her with me but, I would let her go if that is what she wants.

"Mr. McClain. " I wiped the remaining tears and stood up meeting the doctor half way. He had a look that was unreadable.

"She did well, but there were some complications." He spoke sincerely. I crossed my arms and bit my lip

"What kind of complications?" I spoke. My voice was gruff and thick, from emotion. He sighed and shook his head

"The tumor was worse than we thought and there was some bleeding. We will not know if her memory will be intact or if everything will be lost. I am sorry." He spoke and left. I stood there. Frozen. Lily may or may not know who I am. I ran my hand through my hair and closed my eyes. In and out. I breathed and followed the nurse who led me to Lily's room. Lily laid on the hospital bed. Lifeless. She was pale, but still my beautiful flower. I walked over and sat in the chair beside her bed. I held her and hand and squeezed it.  She stirred hours later. She opened her strikingly beautiful eyes and they landed on me

"Hey baby. " I whispered and smiled at her. She looked scared and confused.

"Who are you?" She questioned, pulling her hand out from underneath mine. I frowned and looked over to her family.

"I am Landon your Husband."  I spoke quietly trying not to scare her. She looked at me shocked. She looked over and smiled when her eyes found her mother.

"Hi mommy." She smiled and Mrs. Anderson ran over and hugged Lily. I stood up and leaned against the back wall. Lily remembered everyone except me.

"Is he really my husband?" I heard her whisper to Travis. Travis smiled and nodded.

 "He is Lily. You got married a couple days ago. He loves you so. You love him even more than you love us."Travis smiled. Tears filled my eyes. She did not have that spark or light that was usually in her eyes when she looked at me. They were dull, blank, and scared.

" I will leave you guys. " I whispered and slipped out of the room. I stood outside the room and slid down the wall. I put my head in my hands and bawled. The nurses at the station looked at me in pity. I felt a hand on my shoulder and it was Travis. I leaned my head on his shoulder and he pulled me in for a hug. I cried on his shoulder.

"She is going to remember, the doctor said her memory might come back. We have to work on it is all." He mumbled but the word that stood out to me the most was might. It Might come back. A slim chance.

"But what if it doesn't. What if she doesn't remember me. Ember our dates, our first kiss, the songs I wrote about her, how I proposed, our wedding, any of it. " The thought pained me so. My heart was breaking.

"She is going to remember because you are going to tell her all of those things. Make her remember, show her why she fell in love with you in the first place. Let her fall in love with you all over again. The love you two share is unbreakable. Now go in there and maker her remember the best thing that ever happened to her." I nodded and wiped my tears away. I stood up and walked in. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson left. I stood at the end of the bed watching her mess with her fingers.
