Little Liar.

Nothing Lasts Forever (15)

ALEX'S POV
Where do I begin? Time seemed to slow down, but the world spun violently fast. Miles was in a critical condition. God knows if he will pull on through. His body was severely bruised and scarred. Mentally and physically. The nurses say it could be weeks before Miles wakes up again. The last words Miles said was in the ambulance and he said, "Tell Suki I love her." He was also wheezing and getting unlawfully pale. I worried endlessly that he'd die, leaving me to question how he got in that state. Suki found out about Miles's condition and is taking time off her work to cope. Yes, she is in love with Miles Kane. Miles's heart monitor beeps weakly as he takes aided breaths. I watch over his unconscious state in panic. Who will be the man who wakes up? When will he wake up? Will he remember anything?

A WEEK LATER
"Hey Alex, how is he?" Suki asked entering in to the corridor which held Miles's room. I shrugged. I had been running on coffee all week and Miles's condition has varied in improvement. Somedays he's improved, others he hasn't. "I take it he hasn't woken up?" She sighed watching Miles from a window, the nurses were adminsting liquid food so he didn't go weak from hunger. Then the nurses flinched. My heart froze. "Did he just wake up?" I stuttered in shock. Suki looked closer and then at me, "Dude...he's in a shit condition the nurses told you it could take weeks!" She muttered I shook my head and then we heard Miles's heart monitor beep faster. Suki gulped and whispered "Something is wrong...so wrong." I agreed and we entered the room. Miles was shaking violently. "Is he awake?" I asked a bit too loudly. A nurse looked up in surprise and explained, "He's having a delayed reaction to the drug he took last week. The drug is giving him a seizure." I felt hot tears roll down my face knowing my best friend wasn't okay. He was helpless and drool was dripping from his mouth as he shook violently. We were escorted out the room and they shut the blinds as they carried out emergency recovery. That was when we heard he had died.

A nurse ran out panicked and stressed and came to is, "He's dead! Mr Kane has died!" She whispered. Suki lowered her head in an effort to fight tears. I looked up and whispered, "No...it's too soon." Then I heard some rushed footsteps from behind, a doctor came in with a defibrillator. I held my breath as I peered into the the room where Miles was. He was no longer shaking yet alarms in every corner were crying to bring him back. "The seizure sucked the life from him..." Suki wept, the nurse nodded. I hugged Suki like never before. "He was so brave..." I sniffed. Then the nurse checked the room. He was regaining strength. "I hope you're aware that the damage that drug did will now cause permanent seizures?" The nurse asked. My eyes widened, Suki stuttered out, "Good or bad ones?" But the nurse shrugged and replied, "Too soon to tell. He is a fighter though." Before she entered the room herself. I saw the blinds lift up and there he was. Pale. Thin. Blood running down his chin. I knew then he'd probably never return to work.

ANOTHER WEEK LATER SUKI'S POV
Alex had to go home to see Alexa and his son Dexter who had became wearily nervous of Alex. Alex tried to convince them that he had a criminal to catch and Miles was the only one who's know where he'd be. I sat by Miles's bed like a lost wife and I stroked his hand singing a soft melody that went: If I fell in love with you
Would you promise to be true?
Because I've been in love before
And I found that love was more
Than holding hands.
I knew it wouldn't wake him up but it cheered up the sombre mood. He had 3 more seizures since last week. Some of them he'd try and wake up. Yet his body sucked him back like it needed him. I drank my tea and sighed looking over the bruises he had all over his body once again, I wondered whether he'd remember anything. I then picked up Miles's backpack Alex had left incase he woke up. I opened it and found the photo album. My eyes widened hoping maybe this had clues. Maybe answers. Maybe ideas. Maybe memories.

I begun reading it and tears ran lightly down my face as I saw happy, alive Miles. I felt part of his past. "Jesus Miles, why didn't you show me this?" I asked out loud. I then stumbled on a letter that was inside the album. Curiously I read it and was in a state of shock. It was a letter from his ex girlfriend:
Dear Miles,
I hope this reaches your door before Eva or Jay intercepts it. I want you to know I love you. I shouldn't tell you but 4 months ago I got pregnant. It was your baby Miles! I didn't want to tell you as you were so busy with Jay and Alfie. I went for a check-up yesterday and I lost it. I lost the baby. While I write this Jay has called me to say you've been down the coast with your dad and not feeling good. I hope you come up and see me or your mom. You know it'll get better soon, and anything to do with the Bunnymen please DON'T blame yourself or go along with it, I am aware you're planning it as we speak. I beg you to stop Miles!

I was speechless. This proved Miles was innocent. I shoved the letter into my bag and then I closed the album. Miles's eyes begun to shift. My heart raced hoping he'd wake up. "Miles it's me...Suki, you had a drug overdose and were badly abused so you've been out 2 weeks." I smiled before he woke up and tried to regain focus on the surroundings. He didn't speak but pointed to the glass of water on the side. "Oh sure. Anything you dreamed of nice?" I asked before handing him the glass. He sat up and drank it slowly. I stroked his hair then he whimpered, "You don't understand!" My eyes widened as he was breathing heavily and his eyes were bouncing all over the place. "Where am I?" He asked anxiously grabbing my hand. "The hospital. I'm so glad you're okay..." I whispered hiding the pain he gave me. He gulped and handed me the glass "Hospital?!" He asked nervously with tears in his eyes, "Suki, did I screw up our romance?!" He sobbed. I shook my head and smiled comfortingly at him. "Where's Albarn, I thought there was a party..." He cried before trying to leave the bed. I restrained him as his cries got louder and more confusing. "Calm down Miles you're safe. Albarn was trying to kill you." I whispered calmly. A nurse ran in and grabbed his front while I had his back. Miles didn't stop crying until 20 minutes later.
