It's been three days, and I'm still sitting on this uncomfortable hospital chair, still clutching his hand, waiting for him to wake up.


The doctor said he's in a coma . That's about all I heard before I shut her out . I didn't want to know anything. I just wanted to sit here with Adam , holding his hand and making sure he knows that he's not alone .





My brothers told me that when I ran out of my party , Adam was on the streets looking for me.  A truck slammed into his car , he flew through the wind shield.

He was looking for me.
He was looking for me.
He was looking for me.
He was looking for me.
He was looking for me.
He was looking for me.

I wanted to scream and cry at those thoughts, but I wouldn't. I HAVE TO BE STRONG.



The twins have tried to make me go home and get some rest , but I just ignored them. I wouldn't leave Adam. Drew came and tried to make me leave, I ignored him. Even Brandon tried. I ignored them all.




I wasn't even supposed to be at the hospital. Visiting hours came and went and I was still here. The doctors had tried to make me leave . I kicked and screamed and got violent. I won't let them take me away from Adam. I'm guessing that my brothers paid off the hospital to let me stay and to bring in another hospital bed for me to sleep on, which I hardly ever did. Jayden brought  most of my clothes and toothbrush and other essentials. The hospital room had a. Bathroom and toilet , I only ever left Adam's side when I absolutely needed to.

It was day four .


"Lia, please eat something." Jayden pleaded softly . I sighed and took whatever he bought for me. I didn't even taste it . I just chewed swallowed and washed it down with water. At least now he'll leave me alone for a while .


It was day eight.




"You haven't left this hospital room for over a week. Let's just go out for a drive , get some fresh air. We'll come right back . " Drew promised . I shook my head. I wasn't leaving Adam. He was right though , I haven't left this room in what feels like forever . It's been that long already? Over a week?


It was day fourteen.




"I brought some more clothes." Jayden said.

He put the bag down and came over and sat next to me .

"When was the last time you slept?" I shrugged. I didn't know, I didn't care.     " Lia . I know it's hard, but you have to think about , if Adam doesn't wake up. "

My eyes narrowed .

" He'll wake up, Jayden. He's just resting right now. As soon as he has his energy back, he'll wake up. "

Jayden looked at me with sad eyes. " Okay, Lia. " He said softly and kissed my head, leaving straight after.



It was day sixteen.





"They sent me with this ." Brandon gestured to the food that the twins sent for me. He put it down next to me.

"You should really eat some thing." He said awkwardly.    With him everything was really awkward, he didn't know how to be nice and frankly, I didn't even want to see him. All the crap he's put me through. One little bonding moment won't rewrite the past, or undo all the hurt and mental damage he's caused me .

When I didn't answer he just sighed . "Just eat something, okay?" And left . I rested my head on Adam's hand and closed my eyes.

It was day twenty four .



"Oh my God, Adam!" I watched as a petite blonde rushed to Adam's side. Her lovely green eyes were filled with tears. She reached out her hand and stroked his cheek gently.


"Are you my brother's girlfriend?" My voice came out a bit hoarsed because I hadn't really used it in a few weeks.

She blinked, startled, like she hadn't even realized that I was sitting here all along .


She Cleared her throat.

"Um, I'm Kylee. Your brother's...Uh friend .What happened ?"

"Ask the doctor . " I replied . I wasn't trying to be mean, I just didn't have the energy to go over it all with her.

After that, Kylee made sure to stop by every day, at least once. Every single day, And yet ,Just a 'friend' she says.



Two months passed by. Drew finally managed to get me to leave the hospital. I never stayed out for long though, Adam will wake up soon, I need to be here.



A few weeks later, an unexpected event happened . I was sitting next to him, just like I've been since day one , and I heard it . The machine that shows his heart beat. The machine that signifies life, went flat. He flat lined .



Doctors rushed to his room and I was suddenly being pushed out of it . I managed to get my phone and called Jayden . In no time, the twins and Brandon were by my side , waiting for news .


It wasn't long after, the doctor  came out of his room. Her face was expressionless and she looked tired. My body was shaking, my heart was drumming in my chest . I felt as if I was going to have a panic attack or something if she didn't give us good news. 


When she got to us, her face contorted into a big smile. She said the three words that I've been hoping  to hear.

"He is awake."
