If He Only Remembered

Chapter 30

Natalie POV; 

"Well, is he okay Taylor?" I say looking at him while he comes out of the hospital room Seth's in. 

"I don't know Natalie, he's still out of it. It really makes me so sad to see him like this to be completely honest. I think you guys should go to Canada or United Kingdom tomorrow morning to be honest. I won't go." Taylor says looking towards the floor leaning against the wall.

"Taylor I'm not leaving him here alone. We're family and honestly our trips could wait." I say sitting down next to Vanessa on the chair. 

"No, no you don't understand, I don't want him to go into more stress seeing you all. He has suffered enough. I honestly want you all to leave right now " Taylor says looking up with his pleading eyes.

"What do you mean? What if he dies Taylor? I will have to live with it my whole life that I wasn't there in his last breath. That I wasn't holding his hand and being present with him. We all will be guilty to be completely honest, Luca, Vanessa and Me we won't be able to live with ourselves." I say

"Guys, Oh guys" Taylor says wiping his face with his hands.

"Do you know how perplex he got when the last accident happened Natalie? He was so flustered with you, with everyone saying that you and him were in love. I don't want anything to repeat again, where you get hurt and he does" Taylor says looking at the ceiling .

"I think Taylors right we should leave" Vanessa says and gets off her seat and grabs my hand tugging my hand towards the elevator.

"I can't leave him Vanessa! I can't!" I say frantically I start to feel so lost and overwhelmed.

"Why Natalie it's not like you love him anymore. He was your first love not your last. Its better for you and him. You saw he was over you no romance no funny business." Vanessa says holding my hand. Only if she knew.

" No! No! you don't understand he didn't remember me and that's why he hated me. I think he started to remember me more recently or he gave hints." I say trying anything to stay by his side.

"I think its time to go home Natalie, you acting a little delusional" Luca says helping Vanessa guide me to the elevator. 

"NO!" I pull back, and tears start falling from my eyes. "I can't go, I can't go" I say and Dr. Jabber is walking back to Seth's room seeing the scene unfold. 

"Why can't you go Natalie stop making this harder than it is." Taylor says walking towards me trying to yank me out of the chair.

"You still love him don't you, your still waiting on his memories to come back. What if he dies Natalie? Who's going to be hurt? you! At the end of this your going to get hurt! Its better for everyone if you all just leave!" Taylors yells.

"Do you still love him?" Vanessa says and places her hands on my face so I face her eyes to eyes. Are these people dumb? 

"Answer me Natalie." Vanessa says her eyes watery.

"I..... don't..... know, I mean I think I do. How can you ask me this when he could be dying a room away from us." I say wiping my eyes. Vanessa just hugs me and kneels with her knees on the floor. She places my head on her shoulder. Taylor stops trying to yank me and kneels on the ground with his head on my lap. I place my hand in his hair.

"We all will be fine. It will work out" Vanessa says. That's when I notice Dr. Jabber leaning against Seth's hospital room door, waiting.

"I see Vanessa, Natalie loves Seth. I means that's obvious. I think it would be best if she goes in right now and talks to Seth.  I'm sure you have seen this in the movies and its true. True love and prayer are truly magical gifts they work hand in hand. I've seen patients so close to death but they pull through because a loved one sang, prayed or did something unique. Treatments can go so far, they treat the body. But the mind and soul are the real things that damaged. No treatment can heal it except, time, love, prayer and patience. So Natalie come...Go in honey" Dr. Jabber says with his file of Seth motioning me to the door.
