Mia’s POV
(Time skip)
Its been one and half months since he has been in a coma. He has been transferred back home. The doctors thought it is better for him to be somewhere he is accustomed too.
I have been in his side the entire side. I never went to school. I had stopped eating properly. The first week in his coma I didn’t eat anything at all. I didn’t even shower fearing he might wake up then.
Ash swing by everyday bringing in my school staff and to check up on me. He always encouraged me to be strong for him.
I wanted to be beside him when he wakes up. But my Dad and mum made me eat and shower. Yap. My dad, mum and Olivia came rushing down when they heard about. I ended crying in their shoulders when they came.
Mary insisted that I go to school, stating she can look after him. But I declined. I wanted to be by his side. I need to be by his side. That’s the only way I can be strong.
Right now I am sitting beside him in the bed holding onto his hand. Its night time. Mary knocked on the door and came in.
“I’m leaving now dear. Do you need anything?” she asked me softly as if I might break anytime. I just shook my head. She just sighed and left. Before she left,
“He’ll wake up. He’ll do anything for you. He will break hell just to be with you.” she said assuring. I just gave a small nod.
She quietly left. I heard the front door shut. After staring at his face tears begin to drop on their own. I stood up and went to my jewellery box and picked up the note. I came back to sit beside him.
I read the note aloud to him.
Sorry I left without telling
I didn’t want to wake you up.
You looked tired.
I will come back soon.
I Promise.
You can call me anytime you want.
I’m gonna miss you.
I love you so much.
“You promised. You promised you will come back soon. YOU PROMISED!” I yelled. “You were supposed to come back to me. We were supposed to know more about each other.”
“I still remembered the last thing you told me. You said you love me.” I said as I start to crying. “I’m so sorry that I never tell it to you back.” I cried clutching his hands.
“Please come back to hear me say I love you. Yes. I love you. I love you so damn much. Just please come back to me.” I stated as my head fell on our hands weeping.
“I-I love you too.” I gasped when I heard this. I quickly got up when I heard. There he was. His eyes open, smiling. I couldn’t believe it. He tried to sit up.
I regain from my shock and went to help him. Once helping him, I checked to see if he was ok. He asked for some water and I hurriedly went to get him that.
I passed him the glass of water to him. After drinking he passed me as I kept it in the bed side. “You are awake.” I said as happy tears starts to form.
He cupped my cheeks. “Yes I am, love.” he said staring at me. I quickly went to hug him. He hugged me back. We hugged as if this is our last time hugging each other and we need to savour this moment.
After minutes, we let each other go reluctantly. “I missed you.” I said softly. “I did too.” he said. “You promised you will come back soon. You promised me.” I said as I pouted angrily at him.
“I know, love. And I’m sorry.” he said as he hugged me again. I laid in his chest. “I heard that when I come back, you will tell me something.” he said looked down at me.
I knew what he was talking about. I start to blush. “Come on. Tell me. I woke up from a coma just to hear that.” he said.
I cleared my throat,” I-I love you” I said softly. He grabbed my face. “Look into my eyes and tell me, love” he said while looking into my eyes.
I looked into his eyes. They were yearning, begging. “I love you.” I said emphasising them. Tears start to form. Happy tears. His eyes flicked to my lips and back to my eyes. I knew he was debating. Confused.
Without thinking much, I closed the gaps of our lips. He was surprised but start to kiss me back. I felt hunger, longing and love in the kiss. It was deep and satisfying. Something we both needed to assure our self that this is real.
He pulled me closer and I ended up straddling him. Just then I remembered something. I quickly pulled away.
Seeing this he frowned. I quickly got up. Before I could go he grabbed my hands. “Is something wrong? Did I do something wrong?” he asked as I saw sadness form.
“What? God no. I’m supposed to call the doctor once you are awake.” I explained as I sit beside him. “That can wait till tomorrow morning.” he said. “But-” “No buts. I’m tired and so are you.” he said as he pulled me beside him.
He is right. I am so tired. So agreeing to him, we went to sleep. He pulled me close to him. He start to play with my hair locks.
“I was so scared. I thought you were gonna leave me.” I said as fear consumed me. “I will never leave you. I will break hell to be with you.” he said. I laughed at that. “Why are you laughing?’ he asked me. “Mary said the same thing.”
He just chuckled. Soon sleep consumed us as we both fell asleep in each other’s arms. I have my husband back.
