My Worst Nightmare

Part 4

Poppys POV

I visited Branch at the hospital for two weeks, everyday, hoping his coma would only last a little while, not a month, not years and obviously, I hope the coma doesnt last a decade. It was the start of the third week of me visiting him. I grabbed a chair and sat next to him like all the other times I came in. I miss staring into his deep midnight blue eyes. His warm smile and loving hugs. The greyness that came back and covered his body saddened me as well as his now black hair. I stroked his still soft hair that turned from deep blue to ebony black and gently held his hand. I began to sing Jealous by Labyrinth, since I envied the couples out there and knowing that I might not have Branch back for a long time. I was immediately snapped out of my singing and my thoughts, when I felt my hand feel tighter. When I looked down at my hand, I gasped happily when I saw Branches hand begin to squeeze mine. I pushed the button next to the bed since I didnt want to leave Branches gentle but tight hold. The door opened suddenly and I turned my head to see the doctors. "Queen Poppy!! Whats wrong?!" One of the doctors asked worriedly. I only smiled. "Nothings wrong. Branch is just waking up and I didnt want to stop holding his hand." I said as I watched them calm down and start nodding. "Fair enough your highness. We shall cheeck his vitals." Another doctor said. I watched them check his heart, then his blood pressure. After they finished, they wrote everything down on a clipboard and smiled. They then looked at me. "Branch seems to be 100%, so when he feels well enough, he can go home." The doctors said with a smile, me smiling back.

Branches POV

My eyes slowly opened but closed again. 'Is this what death is like?' I thought to myself. "Branch?" I heard a familiar voice say. Wait thats....thats Poppy! "Branch? Can you hear me?" She said again. I slowly opened them again, fighting off the pain from the bright lights shining in my eyes. "Urgh." I groaned out as pain surged through every fibre of my blu-. Wait.....Im grey again......I lost my colours again. I looked at Poppy after she said my name. I was so confused when she hugged me. Why is she here and not with Creek? Why is she being so kind to me? "What are you doing here Poppy?!" I asked with and angry tone in my voice. "Because I love you Branch." Poppy said with a sweet voice and a hurt look. "Ya could've fooled me. I saw you with Creek.....kissing him and hugging him then....breaking my heart with cruel, harsh words." I said and crossed my arms, wincing as I did and turned my head away. "Branch....." Poppy said as a hand moved my head to face her. "That wasnt me. Its a long story. But you'll understand afterwards." Poppy said then began to tell me everything that happened. My eyes widened at the end when she showed me she still had the ring on her finger. "So you do still love me?" I asked. "I never stopped." Poppy said then kissed me gently on the lips. I kissed back after a few seconds. Poppy pulled back and gasped with a smile. "Branch...." Poppy began. "What?" I asked "Your colours are back!" Poppy said happily. I looked down and smiled happily, pulling into another kiss, feeling her instantly kiss back.

YAY!!!! Branch has woken up and has his colours back!!!!! Lets see what happens next! But anyways until next time BYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
