You've Changed (merome)

The Hospital

Jerome's POV: (while Betty was out with Skylar)

I decided that since Mitch was feeling so bad that I would take him out for ice cream. For old times sake right? "I don't know Jerome, I just wanna stay home." He put his head in my chest and snuggled up closer to the crook of my neck, something he knows I love. "No, I know you're upset right now, but if you go out of the house, then you'll start to feel better!" I kissed the top of his head while he pulled away and looked directly in my eyes. He put on his puppy dog ones that made me melt into the chocolate brown orbs. "But Jerome!" "No buts Mitch! Save that for later." I winked at him and grabbed mine and his jackets and the car keys. "Now c'mon, we're going to go have fun! It's my treat. You know you can't deny the cookies and cream!" He sighed and looked down at the floor while we walked to the car. "I guess you're right." He still seemed sad so I lifted his chin up with my hand and kissed him softly, biting his lip a little before pulling apart. "Better?" "Better." We drove for about 30 minutes because we knew this really good ice cream shop, but it's also really far away. We were about 15 minutes away when I came to a stop sign. There were no cars coming, so I went forward. Big mistake. Everything went in slow motion; the truck colliding into Mitch's side, me throwing myself over him to try and protect himself from major damages, and then darkness.

I woke up to a bright light in my eyes and quickly shut them. I heard voices all around me, I soon noticed they were doctors. Great, I was in a hospital. Wait...where's Mitch? Mitch! I shot out of the bed and rapidly pushed the call button on the side. A young nurse came in moments later. "What do you ne-" "Where's Mitch?" I demanded. "Excuse me?" "Where is Mitchell Aceti?" I was getter angrier and more worried by the second. "Oh the boy that came in with you? I'm sorry he's in a coma." I couldn't believe it, I wouldn't believe it. No, no, no. He can't be! My husband, in a coma? Nope. Not Possible. "Would you like to visit him now?" I nodded my head quickly and they lead me to see what I regret so much seeing. My Mitch attached to all of these tubes and wires. I could barely recognize him. I felt tears slip down my cheeks but quickly blinked away the rest. "They said he could wake up at any time so be ready." She walked out, leaving me and the unconscious Mitch alone. I started sobbing instantly. I held his hand while I cursed at myself for being such an idiot and not protecting him. It's all my fault. I kept on repeating that in my head over and over. Its all my fault. Suddenly I felt the hand shift and the same caramel eyes I came the love shot open. "Mitch! You're alive!" I hugged him with more passion than imaginable. When I pulled away, he had a completely confused look on his face. "What's wrong Mitch?" Then he said the three words that broke my heart more than anything else I had ever experienced before,

"Who are you?"
