Second chance on love.

Chapter 30

~Connor's POV~

*January 30th *

Ryan got a new designer for the project, he took all of Lee's ideas and gave it to the new designer. He is a day in and day out next to Lee's bed. You can probably say he never left her side. His face isn't shaved and you must know. Ryan is one of those who likes to be clean.

Today is the day they are going to try and wake Lee from the coma. Then if everything is going well, she will be in for surgery for her face. Ryan is so nervous you can tell, he's walking up and down in the room and hasn't eaten for days.

Mr. and Mrs. McGregor stands on Lee's left-hand side. Her brother and I at her feet, Nikki, William, and Julian stand next to Mr. and Mrs. McGregor. Ryan isn't in the room. He just vanished.

"Okay, we are ready to wake her up. Please remember guys that Ms. McGregor will take a few minutes to recognize everything around her. I myself will talk to her. No crying or no funny actions, please. It will upset her and then things can go wrong." The doctor looks at all of us with a strict expression on his face.

He tells the nurse what to do and the nurse is busy with the machines. Suddenly there was no function from Lee, but after a split second, she starts waking up.

"Hello Lee, I'm doctor Casey and you are in the hospital. Your family and friends are here. Do you remember anything?" the doctor asks Lee gently. She looks at him through her swelling eyes and she nodded. Suddenly relief runs through my veins.

"Lee we are going to operate on you immediately. Your left cheekbone is causing discomfort for your nostrils and is the reason for struggling with breathing." The doctor runs the procedure with her and her family and she nodded.

The rest of us went to the café for some coffee and I'm going to search for Ryan. My search was not so long I founded him sitting on the balcony. "Bro, may I join you?" I ask him, just so that he will be aware that I'm still there for him. He nodded.

"Wanna talk about it?" I ask him softly. He stares into the distance and again there was that type of silence.

"Dude I think I'm gonna take off." He stands up, but before he could go I grab his jacket. " No, you are not gonna take off like always. This time you gonna stay. We both know that she is precious to you. Don't give up on her when she needs you the most." Wow since when did I get so sentimental?

"She won't look at me the same way she always did. She will hate me. I'm not looking forward to a rejection Connor, but you're right she has to hear me out." He stands up and runs to her room.

~Ryan's POV~

*6 hours after Lee's op*

She is fast asleep. Everyone went home and I decided to stay. I can't see her face because it's wrapped up in a bandage. But still, do I think she's one pretty woman.

I sit next to her and I took her hand. Her hand is so small in comparison with mine. Soft. "I know you can't hear me, you fast asleep but I'm so sorry. I'm sorry that I called you a slut. I'm sorry that you were kidnapped. I'm so sorry that he beaded you up. You are one brave woman do you know that? I'm so sorry for...that... that he raped you." My body feels numb and my tears are burning me like hell. That blood on the bed was hers. He took her innocence away. He took that special thing away from her. That son of b*tch!

Before I could think I packed up all my stuff and I left her there with no explanation.
