Everyone's running from something but we don't know when it's coming...

~Chapter 44~ If you ever come back

I just nodded in reply and we stood up and walked back to the hospital. When we walked back into the waiting room I saw that Mark was here as well. He stood up and gave me a hug and patted me on my back in a way that says 'everything's gonna be fine.' I smiled a weak smile at him and sat down. Glen had managed to calm Laura down and everyone was just sitting in silence now not knowing what to say. Seconds turned into minutes and after another half an hour the same doctor came walking in. Suddenly everybody sat up preparing theirselves for what he had to say.

"Rose is out of surgery and you can come and see her now. She's not awake but we keep her asleep for a while for her body to recover. It's possible that she's got brain damage but can't see that until she wakes up which isn't gonna be soon as we keep her asleep." He explained and gestured for us to come with him. We followed him through the endless corridors until he stopped in front of a room with the number 1313. In some weird way the number of her room made me feel better cause her favorite number is 13 and this is double 13. I know it sounds pathetic but I don't care. He opened the door and let us in.

I gasped when I saw her lying there on that bed, with wires coming in and out of and attached to machines. She had a oxygen mask on which covered most part of her face and she looked so pale. It was that I could see her breath with my own eyes and heard her heartbeat on one of the machines otherwise you would have thought that she'd be dead...

I walked up to her and took a chair next to her bed. I took her hand in mine being as careful as possible cause I was afraid to hurt her. Everybody came standing around her bed not knowing what to say until Laura broke the silence,

"If your standing with your suitcase,

But you can't step on the train,

Everythings the way that you left it I still haven't slept yet"

After a few seconds I realized that she was singing our song and suddenly everyone was singing it.

"And if your covering your face now

But you just can't hide the pain

Still setting two plates on the counter but eating without yah

If the truth is your a liar

Then just say that your okay

I'm sleepin' on your side of the bed goin out of my head now

And if your out there tryina move on

But somethin' pulls you back again

I'm sitting here tryina persuade you like your in the same room

And I wish you could give me the cold shoulder

And I wish you could still give me a hard time

And I wish I could still wish it was over

But even if wishing is a waste of time

Even if I never cross your mind

I'll leave the door on the latch

If you ever come back if you ever come back

They'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat

If you ever come back

They'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on

And it will be just like you were never gone

They'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat

If you ever come back if you ever come back now

Oh if you ever come back if you ever come back

Now they say I'm wasting my time

Cuz your never commin' home

But they used to say the world was flat but how wrong was that now

And by leavin my door open

I'm riskin' everythin I own

Somethin' I can lose in the breakin that you haven't taken

And I wish you could give me the cold shoulder

And I wish you can still give me a hard time

And I wish I could still wish it was over

But even if wishing is a waste of time

Even if I never cross your mind

I'll leave the door on the latch

If you ever come back if you ever come back

They'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat

If you ever come back

They'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on

And it will be just like you were never gone

They'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat

If you ever come back if you ever come back now

Oh if you ever come back if you ever come back

If it's the fighting you remember or the little things you miss

I know your out there somewhere so just remember this

If it's the fighting you remember or the little things you miss

Oh just remember this oh just remember this

I'll leave the door on the latch

If you ever come back if you ever come back

They'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat

If you ever come back

They'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on

And it will be just like you were never gone

They'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat

If you ever come back if you ever come back now

Oh if you ever come back if you ever come back

And it will be just like you were never gone

And it will be just like you were never gone

And it will be just like you were never gone

If you ever come back if you ever come back now"

I felt myself smiling at the end of the song just because I knew that she'd like it. Nobody asked why Laura sang that cause everyone understood why. After another moment of silence Mark said,

"I'm sorry, but I have to get back to Rina and the kids." 

"Yeah, of course." I said hugging him goodbye. After that he left Anne, Laura and Glen left as well to give me some time with Rose. I grabbed her hand again and just started talking to her.

"Do you remember in disneyland that you were mega scared for every rollercoaster but every time we got out you wanted again... And the moment you met goofy..." I smiled at myself thinking back about that memory.

"Please baby girl, just wake up cause I can't life without you and I don't want to either. You let my best side come out of me. The best part of me is you. And we just began, it can't end here. We still have to do so many things. I want to take you all around the world, I want to argue about silly things, I want to make it up again, I want to marry you one day, I want to have cute kids and I want to grow old with you. Please don't let it end here and wake up." I felt another tear roll down my cheek and saw I fall on my own hand which I had intertwined with hers.

I don't know if I've gone mad and imagined it or not but suddenly I felt her hand move, it felt like she squeezed my hand softy...
