She Brought Light || Guy's POV

Chapter 72: She Doesn't Remember

We're halfway through our winter break already and Veronica still hasn't woken up. Exams were one big blur. I don't remember my exams, but I do remember I didn't have a problem with any of the papers.

Our parents now know about the accident.

They were starting to get suspicious and we were running out of excuses. Ben was the one that figured it out first. I remember Mason and I were at the store when Ben FaceTimed us. He was alone so when he asked us what's really going on, we played it off as if he were just being paranoid, but he wasn't buying it. Mason and I just dropped our basket and went to the car, knowing we couldn't lie anymore.

We told Ben everything and the guy was furious. Furious doesn't even begin to explain how angry he was with us. Mason took the wheel in explaining why we kept it a secret and tried to get Ben to understand. Once his anger passed, he broke down crying and I felt like complete shit. I promised them I'd keep her safe and I failed miserably.

I couldn't stop apologizing.

Somehow, Mason convinced Ben to stay until their flight back home since it's already booked and paid for. After ending the call, Mason and I just sat in silence. About an hour later, I got a call from my mom. I got one hell of a lecture from her.

Our parents will be back home by tomorrow and Veronica still hasn't woken up. I don't want Cole coming home and his sister is still unconscious. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if Cole and Emily comes home and Veronica is still in the coma. I don't think Emily will be able to handle it.

I have Veronica's hand in my hand, literally begging her to wake up. I'm desperate. I don't know how much longer I can take. I miss her way too much. I visit my dad every Saturday before going to the tracks and it just hurts ten times more now. I come from spending the whole week in the hospital with my girlfriend that's in a coma only to go visit my dad that's two hours away, also in a coma.

My life is just fucking perfect right now!

I stopped crying. I think I actually ran out of tears with all the crying I've been doing.

I don't know how long I've been sitting here when suddenly I feel her finger twitching in my hand, making me freeze. I actually stop breathing, too scared if I make the simplest move and I'll miss it. It's so small, so soft, I'm scared I've officially lost my mind.

"Firefly? Do that again?" I ask, moving from the chair to sit on the edge of the bed. A few seconds pass and just when I thought I am imagining things, she does it again. "Oh my word! Firefly!" I shout and spring up from the bed.

I am so excited that I completely forget about the call button beside her and just run out of the room in search for a doctor, the door accidently slamming behind me.

Just as I round the corner, I find Dr. Greene walking towards me, looking down at the clipboard in his hand.

"Dr. Greene!" I call, rushing towards him. His head snaps up at the sound of his name and when he sees me, his brows furrow in confusion. "She moved!" I pant, suddenly out of breath. "I felt it."

"Are you sure, Blake?" He asks, following me to her room. "It's completely normal to-"

"I promise I didn't imagine it. I thought I did at first but then she moved again." If I wasn't so excited right now, I would have felt offended that he would think I imagined something like that. I understand why he would think that, hell I was almost sure I was losing my mind.

Just as we round the corner to her room, we see a bunch of doctors rushing in her room. Dr. Greene rush into her room with me closely behind him.

"What the hell?" I can't help but shout the question. Her heartbeat is fucking out the roof! My heart starts banging against my chest as the fear starts taking over me.
