Chasing Fintry

Chapter 28- Life or death

It had been three and a half months since Elliot went into a coma, He had five days to wake up. We were talking life or death now. I had left the hospital some because I couldn't stay here for almost four months. Wyatt came in with a bag of food to snack on for the next few days. I grabbed the bag of chips and started eating. "Stress eater much." He said laughing at me. "Shut up" I whined. Ever since that night when he took that photo a weight seemed lifted from our chests. I hadn't cried since that night either, we had been carrying each other. I was so scared about the next five days, if he didn't wake up I would lose my everything. Wyatt could see the gears turning in my head. He walked over and rubbed my shoulders. "With Elliot everything is last minute." He said shaking his head at his best friend. I nodded and looked down at him. There was now so many pictures that it was crazy, there was pictures of me and Brooke all over the rails. I walked over to the window and looked out at flowers and trees that were all bloomed. It was now June 1st. It was crazy that almost a year ago I met this boy but I was so madly in love with him.

I heard a nose behind me and I turned around. My heart stopped.

It was Elliot.

He was awake.

I ran over to his side. "Wyatt go get a nurse he's choking on that tube." I yelled. Wyatt nodded and ran out. "Baby just breath." I said holding his hand. His eyes were locked on me. Wyatt and the nurse came running in. The nurse removed the tube and Elliot took a big gasp of air. She checked him out before leaving. I was in his arms before she left the room. "I thought you were going to leave me." I whispered. "I could never leave you." He whispered back in a raspy voice. I wiped a stray tear that had fallen down my cheek. "Wyatt go get him a cup of water." He nodded and walked out. I held Elliot's had as I showed him the video of Brooke walking. He laughed as she walked. "So what happened all I remember is heading to the bowling alley and now I'm coming out of a coma after four months." He said confused. "Well when we were going to the bowling alley a guy texting and driving hit your side of the car and when the windshield broke a piece of glass went into your chest and your brain." I said leaning back beside him on the bed. He grabbed a picture off the rail. "This is my favorite picture of you." He said looking down at the picture that Wyatt took of me almost three months ago. I smiled at the picture. Wyatt came in with the glass of water a few minutes later. Elliot drank it in under a minute. "You know I could hear like everything that was said." Elliot said looking at me and Wyatt. "I heard everything that you said." He whispered in my ear. "And yes I want you to have my kids too and grow old with you and I will never leave you and Brooke, because you may need me but I need you so much more." He continued. I kissed his lips softly. He smiled when he pulled back. I sighed standing up. "I should probably call everyone." I grabbed my phone before calling Karen. I heard her crying when I told her. After that I called his grand parents and they were crying too. After that I went and laid back beside Elliot.

I had already texted Bailey and she said her and Ashton would be here soon. Elliot wrapped an arm around me. "Ew you two get a room." Wyatt groaned. I giggled as Elliot kissed my hair. I heard a knock on the door and looked up as the doctor walked in. I stood up despite Elliot's protest. "Be glad you awoke when you up when you did Mr. Dawson. Also be glad you have such a great girlfriend, She rarely left this place." I could feel Elliot's eyes on me as he spoke. "Shes more than great she is perfect." I blushed and met his eyes. I cleared my throat. "So when can he go home?" I asked hoping it would be soon since school had been over for a while, maybe we could go to the beach. "Soon if all the test come back normal." I nodded. "Can he do like his normal activities?" I also asked the doctor. He nodded and checked out Elliot. "I wanna do a CT scan on his brain, then if everything is normal he is free to go." He walked out and I went back and laid beside Elliot. "We should go to the beach once we get out of here, me, you, Wyatt, Bailey, Ashton, and whoever Wyatt wants to bring."
