Fairytales Don't Exist

§chapter 16§

*Nate's POV*

My eyes were burning and sore. I realized I was still in my car. Did I cry myself to sleep? I heard a knock on my window. "Hey." I said yawning while getting out of the car. "How long was I asleep?" "Two hours." Sasha said. "Only two!?" I asked. It didn't seem like two hours to me. "Yep." she said. I nodded and saw she had food. "You didn't get me this did you?" I asked raising my eyebrow. "Nate, you need to eat." she said sounding concerned. "Fine!" I groaned and took the food from her. I ate without tasting what it was.

(three weeks later, still Nate's POV)

Aliza's been in a coma for three weeks now. I'm starting to get scared. What if she never wakes up? Then what will I do? Sasha snapped her fingers in my face pulling me out of my thoughts, which was a relief.

"The doctor said you could go see her again if you want to." said Sasha.

"Okay, thanks." I replied my voice barley above a whisper.

She looked at me sympathetically and walked away. I knew she was crying. Her eyes were red and puffy.

I got up and walked to the room where Aliza is. She looked so pale from the lack of sunshine, and extremely skinny from the lack of food. "Hey, Aliza. I miss you. If you can hear me, please wake up." I was now sitting beside her. I layed my head on her stomach still crying. I felt someone lay their hand on my head. I thought it was Sasha but then I heard a faint whisper. "Please don't cry, Nate."

I looked up to see Aliza smiling slightly at me.

"Aliza! Doctor!" I screamed.

About two minutes later the doctor came in.

"Ah Aliza, your awake." he smiled warmly.

She didn't say anything but she did give him a small smile. "How long was I asleep?" Aliza asked the doctor.

"About three to four weeks." he replied easily. "Wow." she said looking at me. "I'm so sorry, Nate."

"Don't apologize. It isn't your fault."

"Yes it is. I didn't let you explain." she said. "I was stupid."

"You are not stupid, Aliza."

"I almost killed myself!" she exclaimed.

"Yes, I know. That doesn't make you stupid." I walked over to her and kissed her forehead softly. "I love you."

She smiled. "I love you too."

"Would you like me to explain what happened?" I asked her. "Um, go ahead." she whispered. I told her everything that happened leading up to right now. "I'm so so sorry, Nate." she said. "Don't apologize, Aliza." I said kissing her.

"Do you want anything to eat?" I asked her. "No, I'm fine." she replied. "Baby, you have to eat something." "I will later, I'm not hungry right now." she said. "Okay then I'll be right back." I told her and walked to the cafeteria.

*Aliza's POV*

I watched Nate leave the room. I laid my head back on the hospital bed, which was very uncomfortable. I still didn't know why Nate was there. Nate came back in pulling me from my thoughts. "I'm back, Princess." he said. "Hey." I smiled warmly.
