All I want is you

Chapter 12

Luke's POV

Recap:

"There's bad news and good news" the doctor said. "The good news is that she's going to be alright" he said, we all sighed in relief.

"The bad news is..." The doctor said.

That was the most anxious moment I my life. I wanted to know what was wrong with her. I needed her in my life. The seconds that passed felt like hours. I needed to find out what was wrong with her. Suddenly Ruth walked in with Jay hot on her heels.

"What's going on?" She said.

"Your sister is going to be alright but there's some other news that we need to find out from the doctor" I quietly said. We all turned bak to the doctor.

"What's the bad news?" Maia's mum said.

"She slipped into a coma and we don't know how long it'll be when she wakes up. She's also on life support but we aren't going to give up. The cancer is back and she will have to have some treatment for it when she wakes up" he said. My legs felt numb and suddenly I felt like I had to sit down. I couldn't cope with this. My girlfriend, my life, my happiness, my everything is in there in a coma and her cancers come back worse. I felt like someone has taken my heart out of my chest, thrown it on the floor and someone's stomped on it and it's broken in two. Tears were pricking in my eyes and threatening to spill. I never let anyone see me cry.

A few minutes later Austin walked in and saw that we were all low so he wanted to know what happened. He sat down neat to me in the waiting room.

"What's up?" He asked kind of cheerfully.

"Well Maia's going to be alright but she's slipped into a coma, is on life support and needs to have treatment for her cancer when she wakes up as its come back worse" I said.

"Oh, I need to see her" he said standing up. I stood up as well.

"They wont let anyone go in there apart from blood related family members" I said. He sighed and sat back down.

"Do you want to go down to the cafe?" He asked me. I nodded.

We went down to the cafe and had a bit to eat. In all honest I wasn't hungry and neither was Austin after I told him the news. We had something to eat anyway to try and take our mind off of Maia. When we were finished we headed back up to where Maia's room was and sat outside in the waiting room for another 4 hours.

I needed to see her.

After 4 hours a doctor finally came out and told us that we could go in there. Austin and I stood up at the same time.

"Can I go in first, please?" I asked him and he nodded.

I walked over to the door and opened it. Maia's body was lying in the bed I front of me. I walked over so I was next to her head. He pale skin looked so white and lifeless. He body laid there so peacefully as if she was sleeping. I picked up her cold hand.

"Maia, it's Luke. I don't know if you can hear me but I just wanted to say that I miss you. I know it's only been 24 hours but I miss seeing the smile on your face, the way you looked at me, the way you held my hand. I miss it all, I miss you. Austin's here to say a few words as well. He's not in the room at the moment but he's here. He misses you as well so please come back soon." I started to get yearn in my eyes but I carried on. "We all miss you Maia. Your sister, mum, dad, Austin, Eve. I know your cancer has got worse but I will always be here for you and I'm not planning on going anywhere. If you need me, I'm here and I would hate to think that anything would have happened to you because you are what I love for. If I can't have you then I can't live. Please come back soon" I said talking to her lifeless body.

I walked out of the room and Austin walks in. I stay in the waiting room.

Austin's POV

I walked into Maia's room. He body was so lifeless and I wish there was something I could do to help but the truth is there isn't. I walked over to her head and picked up her hand. I sat down on the chair beside her bed.

"Hey it's Austin. You probably can't hear me but I'm going to say what I need to say anyway." I started. "I haven't been truthful to you since we broke up and I know cheating on you was wrong, I was an idiot and in a bad place but I've changed. I promise. I care about you more than ever before and I really want to wake up. The truth is that I still like you. I know you're with Luke and I'm not asking you to choose between me or him because I know he will win. I just wanted you to know. You probably don't like me back and I'm alright with that but I thought you should know. I'm not going to tell Luke yet, I don't want him to get angry with me. I won't make a move on you and I will always be here for you even if you don't trust me. Anyway I should go. You've been really good company and I will come back tomorrow with Luke" I said. I bent down to kiss her on the cheek.

I walked out of the room looking back at her lifeless body before opening the door and meeting Luke out there.

Luke's POV

Austin just walked out the room.

"Hey, do you feel better for seeing her?" I asked him.

"Yeah, I know that she's hopefully going to be alright" He replied.

"Yeah let's hope. I felt better after seeing her as well, wanna go back to mine and play some Xbox to take your mind off her?" I asked him.

"Of course" he replies with a smile.

We walked out of the hospital and got into Austin's car and he drove back to mine. The car journey was quiet but if was a comfortable silence. When we go to my house, we got out of the car and went up to my room to play Xbox. Austin was really quiet and I wanted to know what was wrong.

"Are you alright?" I asked him once we got to my room.

"There's something you should know" he said.

Austin's POV

This was it. I was going to tell him I liked his girlfriend. I took in a deep breath letting it out slowly.

"What it is?" He answered my question.

"I like someone" I said.

"Who?" He said

"You're probably going to hate me but it's Maia." I said looking down at my hands and waiting for his angry reaction but it never came. I looked up at him and he looked surprised.

"What?" He said stunned.

"I like Maia. I know it's wrong and she's yours. I don't want to get in the way of your relationship and our friendship but I was an idiot when we went out. I should have never hurt her but I've changed and now I can't have her but you should keep her. You're the best boyfriend she's ever had looking at how happy she is now" I said.

"I'm not mad dude, I'm just shocked. I had no idea, I'm sorry mate" he said not really knowing what to say.
