She Brought Light || Guy's POV

Chapter 71: So Lost

Days turn into weeks but she still hasn't woken up yet. It feels like dragged out years. I was released weeks ago but I barely leave her side.

The only time I would leave her side was to go write, to go practice, get food and Saturday nights to go to the tracks while Matt and Jordan stayed behind with Veronica. We had a game yesterday and I played the shittiest I have ever played in my life. We still won, but I was surprised coach didn't pull me off the field. I only scored one goal throughout the whole game and even that was a shitty goal.

I spent all my time in this room with Veronica. Back when I was still a patient here, I would sneak out of my room every night to be here with her and on the fifth night, they set me up in the same room as her. I stayed a week before I got released but I barely ever left the room.

As I studied, I would read to her, explain to her what I was studying as if she could hear me and I was helping her study. While taking breaks, I would just talk to her, catch her up on what happened for the day, how her parents are doing.

Our parents still know nothing about what is going on. Whenever they FaceTimed us, we'd come up with all kinds of excuses like, she's studying, she's sleeping, the two of us went to the field for a quick practice, we're at the gym or sometimes Mason would even say I took her out on a date to relax a little. They would always text me the excuse of the day so I knew what to say to play along.

Lynn still feels guilty for what happened. Of course she does. When they left, Veronica was so tired, I don't even think she remembered her own name at the time. Lynn never got a chance to apologize to her daughter and I think that's stopping her from fully getting to enjoy their vacation and I feel bad about that. I know she calls hoping to catch Veronica so she can at least try to apologize.

I spend every night on this uncomfortable chair. There's actually a black couch in the corner of the room and it's a lot more comfortable than this blue chair, but I can't exactly drag the couch all the way here to the bed. So I'll spend my nights on this uncomfortable chair, clutching onto her hand. I lost track of the days that seemed to be passing by. It got so bad, that I wouldn't have known what test I'm writing on which day if it weren't for my friends.

I feel bad for adding more stress to their plates, but I just can't help it. I feel like a zombie, a fucking depressed zombie, just watching as the world goes by all while mine seems to just be one huge blur.

Mason, Jason and Jake spend their free time on the road, looking for Henry. Despite that Logan guy telling them they are be taking over, Mason just can't sit and wait. It allows him to think and he doesn't want to think about anything. He doesn't trust it so he uses the search for Henry as a distraction and use it to focus on nothing but his anger. He is scared, hell we're all fucking scared, but Veronica is that guy's life. She's the most important girl in his life. She's his fucking baby sister and I can't imagine the pain and fear he's feeling. I know for a fact if this were Emily laying here, I would have caused a whole lot more damage.

Logan and his team met with Mason and Matt to talk about everything. I was supposed to be at that meeting but I had another meeting with Coach Randy, unfortunately. Mason then introduced Kyle to Logan and got him to come clean about everything.

Kyle was able to help a lot. Turns out, Kyle was supposed to scare her enough to get us to come so he could keep us distracted while Veronica went home where Henry sat in her room, waiting for her. The fucker had everything fucking planned out! I was just grateful she was smart enough to figure it out, but then again, at the end of the day, we still lost, didn't we? He still managed to put her in the coma.

After Kyle came clean, Logan and his team, well his two siblings and their friends, stopped by the hospital and promised they would catch Henry and I believe them. I've never met these people before, but there's just something about them that makes it so easy to trust them. Maybe it's the way Logan looks at Veronica, like he's looking at his sister fighting for her life. Maybe it's the way his sister's jaw clenches at the thought of a father doing this to his own daughter. Maybe it's the way his brother looks like he's already forming calculated plans in his head or the look of determination on everyone's else's face. But I believe them
