Chase

"I Wish Nate Was Still Here

One month later
(Sorry for the time skip)

Sam

"Th-that's Vivian?" George cried when he stared at Vivian on the hospital bed.

Chase wouldn't let George see Vivian for a month. He needed to make sure that George was okay and healthy.

"She'll wake up soon." Chase whispered, staring at Vivian.

"Yeah, she will." I mumbled, placing a hand on George's shoulder.

Vivian

"Vivian, you n-need to wake up." The voice cried, begging me to wake up.

I tried opening my eyes, tried moving, but I can't. It's like my body is stuck in dry glue. Does that even make sense?

"Vivian!" The voice got louder, sobbing now.

It's George.

I can't begin to describe how happy I am that they finally got him.

I heard loud and fast beeping. Soon, I felt hands on me and I wanted them off.

The beeping slowly began to go slow again. The hands were gone and it was silent.

"I have some good news." An unfamiliar voice said. "She won't need those machines anymore." He's the doctor.

"That's great." Sam spoke. I'll never forget her voice for sure. "When will she wake up from the coma? And can she hear us?"

"We don't know when she'll wake up. It's been a month now and we're hoping she'll wake up very soon. She's been giving signs." The doctor said. "And we're not very sure if she could hear us or not."

I can hear you all, dimwit.

Shut it, idiot.

Sighing on the inside, I ignored my thoughts. It's been a long while and I've had to listen to my thoughts arguing. It is annoying.

I heard the room door shut. My hand was held in someone else's hand and I know who it is.

I remember his touch, the safe feeling I get from him, the comfort and gentleness.

"I love you so much, Vivian." Chase spoke. "And I'll always be sorry for letting you down. If you leave me..I don't even want to imagine that. I don't care if we're not dating and if you hate me, I just want you alive and well."

I love you, too.

I want to say those words so badly, but I can't seem to open my mouth.

"Christmas is next month." Chase said, letting me know what's going to happen while I'm still in this coma. "Hopefully a Christmas miracle will happen."

Has it really been that long?

I could feel myself move my thumb and touch his hand. He stopped speaking.

"You can hear me?" He whispered his words and I tried moving again, but I can't. "Wake up soon, beautiful."

Chase kissed my forehead and I heard the door open and shut.

I wish he was still here.

Chase

"How is Vivian?" Carlos asked, breaking the silence. I finished chewing on my food before speaking.

"She moved her thumb today." I said and they all look shocked.

"Why didn't you tell me at the hospital!?" Sam asked, looking excited and shocked.

I shrugged and continued eating my food.

"She can hear us." Carlos said, smiling to himself. "I'm going there tonight to fill her in on everything."

"I'm coming with." Aiden said.

"Same." Logan replied.

They might as well just all go.

*************************************

"So, are you planning on getting back with Vivian?" Virgil asked, sitting next to me on the couch.

"That's completely up to her. I'd take her back in a heartbeat." I replied, not knowing why I'm admitting this to him.

Virgil is someone I can talk to about anything though. He doesn't tell anyone about anything we talk about and I trust him.

"She doesn't hate you." Virgil spoke after a while. "She might have acted like she did that night at the club, but she doesn't. Vivian is in love with you."

"She said she's stupid to love me. I don't blame her if she does hate me. I've done her wrong and she's given me so many chances. I don't deserve her. She needs someone that makes her feel loved and happy." I muttered, staring at the floor.

"You make her feel like that." Virgil said, patting my shoulder. "Both of you need to talk things out when she wakes up."

"I don't know what I'll do if I lose her." I admitted as Virgil stood up. "I love her."

"You won't lose her. We'll make sure of that." Virgil replied and flashed me a smile before walking away.

That man needs to smile more.

"Hey, daddy." Logan said and sat on my lap, ruining the mood I was in.

"Count on Logan to ruin any mood." Aiden spoke, sitting on the couch with Carlos and George.

"How are you feeling?" Carlos asked, looking at me. I pushed Logan off of me.

"Daddy, chill." Logan muttered and bit his lip, blinking his eyes fast. I stared at him, not being able to stop the disgusted look on my face.

"Okay." I finally replied back to Carlos. Logan blew kisses at me and twirled his pretend hair. "You're so weird."

"Only for you, daddy." Logan kissed me hard on the cheek before I could push him back. "Let's go, George."

George began to laugh as he walked away with Logan and Carlos.

"How are you really feeling?" Aiden asked and I looked up at him. "Come on, cousin. Let's push all our bad blood away and start over. I'm tired of fighting. Aren't you tired of hating me?" Aiden wiggled his eyebrows at me.

"Hating you?" I raised an eyebrow. "You're my cousin, Aiden. You're the last family I have and I wouldn't ever hate you." I admitted.

"How about Aunt Mia?" Aiden said and rolled his eyes. "I hate her."

"Don't we all?" I chuckled softly and leaned back on the couch. "Nate always hated her. When we were little kids, he'd always pull her hair any chance he got." I muttered.

Aiden laughed, hearing that.

"Nate was such a bad kid." He said, sighing softly. It was silent for a while.

I stared at the floor, remembering memories of Nate, Aiden, and I.

"He was an amazing guy and was taken away too soon." I said, standing up. "Get some rest."

"You too." Aiden mumbled and I walked away, going to check on George.

I wish Nate was still here. It's hard without him.
