Chapter 50:

Beep..

Beep...

Beep.

What in the hell is that noise?

"Where is she?"

"What the fuck happened?!"

"Is she okay?"

I hear all these questions being thrown around and I'm trying to process it all.

"She's stable for now." I heard another person comment and I tried to open my eyes but they failed me and the pain attacked my head and I stopped trying to fight it.

"Let me see her!"

A familiar voice.. I desperately wanted to open my eyes now but my body betrayed me as I felt myself drifting.

"Get the doctor now!"

••

I hear that beeping noise again.. where am I?

"Please wake up." I hear someone sob and I draw my eyebrows together in confusion.

I'm up?

"Baby please." I hear it again. Feeling my hand being lifted up, someone soothing my hand.

"I love you, I'm so sorry."

I try to concentrate on opening my eyes. Even though my brain feels like it's being picked at by a bunch of needles.

"Sir, your going to have to-"

"I'm not going anywhere." He sneered at whoever was speaking, why was he being mean? "Not until she wakes up."

Hearing the door shut, and the beeping noise, I really start to grow frustrated.

"You'll wake up I know you will, you can't leave me."

• 3 days later•

"Landon, she's going to be fine, her heart is still beating."

"But she hasn't woken up, it's been four days."

Four days?

"I'll watch her, go home and get something to eat-"

"No, not until she wakes up."

Hearing someone sigh, the door closes. I try again, ignoring the pain. I needed to open my eyes.

"Please wake up." His voice cracks. Making my heart hurt more then ever.

I'm trying.

Everything seems to register for me in that moment. Like I was held prisoner but now I'm breaking free, I had to.

I feel my eyelids finally cooperating with me, my eyes fluttering open.

My visions blurry at first but it soon clears.. I take in my surroundings.

Looking down at my hand I see something attached to it seems to be a wire, what the fuck is this? Looking around seeing nothing but white and blue. Still hearing that beeping noise..

I'm in the hospital..

Looking over to my left, I see him...

Landon.

He's resting his head down on the edge of the bed, his hand in mine. He doesn't look so good. His sleeves are rolled up, cut up in fact, I see in the corner of his eye, there's a bandage. Drawing my eyebrows together in confusion, I take my other hand and place it where the bandage is.

What happened to him?

He stirs, and I quickly snatch my hand back, did I hurt him? He stills again. Okay good.

Looking down at our joined hands, I never realized how small my hand looks compared to his. I brush my thumb across his hand.. it's rough. I continue to do that while looking at him sleeping.

He stirs again, but I continue anyways, I wanted to see him awake. Titling his head to the side at first in protest, he starts to wake up. He blinks twice.

"Hey sleepyhead." I whisper, my voice sounding hoarse. I really needed something to drink.

He stiffens.. he looks over at me, blinking rapidly at this point. I found it cute.

"Embre.." He whispers, his hand tightened around mine.

I see his eyes start to water and I shake my head at him, bringing my hand up to his cheek slowly. "Don't cry please."

It's too late, I see a single drop fall down his cheek and another.. please stop.

"Come here." I order him, even though I'm bracing myself for the pain to come, I don't want to see him like this.

He holds me tightly, me hissing in pain at first, but I never wanted to let him go. "You're awake." He whispers into my ear as if he couldn't believe it.

"Of course." He pulls away from me and places kisses all over my face. And my face scrunches up.

"Landon." I warn him and he pulls back from me, giving me his well known smirk.

"Shower." Is all I say before he chuckles lowly, and I smile seeing him happy again.

We sit in silence, just taking each other in. And I don't mind, he is a sight for sore eyes.

I break the silence for something I really needed.

"Water." One word but it had so much meaning behind it.

He quickly gets up, leaving the room. A few minutes later he returns, behind him is my family. Both of them.

"Are you okay?"

Landon hands me the water, and I quickly drown myself in it..

"I am now." I forced out a laugh and they laugh with me.

"See, I told you she would wake up." Marie commented.

"What happened?" I asked.

"You were in a car accident honey." My mom clears up what exactly happened to me, going to the other side of the bed, she caresses my forehead and I look up at her confused... then something settles in for me. My hands shoot down going down to my stomach.. my baby.

"What.." I start, but I quickly take a deep breath. I hope I'm just overreacting. "What about the baby?"

They all look at Landon.. like "you tell her."

He takes one of my hands.. "Baby." The last time I heard him call me that was when he was taunting me, but this time he sounded like was on the edge.

"What.. happened." I demanded this time, I needed to know.

"She's alive."

My shoulders sagged. "Why the dramatics? I really thought I had lost.."

Wait..

"She? Landon we've been through this it might be-"

"It's a girl." My mom confirms.

"Huh? How do you know that?"

"Well, once they had you stabilized, they immediately needed to see if the baby survived because if she didn't... well let's not get into that right now but she did.. she's your little miracle."

A girl.. We are having a girl..

"Pay up." Landon tells my mom and she glares at him. Before pulling out her wallet.

"If I lose another bet I swear I'm going to-" What's with everybody getting cut off today.

"I'm glad to see your awake." A lady says, entering the room, with a clipboard.

"Could you guys step out for a moment? it will only take a second." They all nod their heads before leaving.

"How are you feeling Miss. Daniels."

"My head hurts but other then that I'm fine."

She comes close to me and I sink back into the pillow.. why is she getting close to me?

"I have to change your bandages." She clears up.

"Oh okay." And I relax.

"You're a lucky one." She says, and I look at her with wide eyes. Being hit like that, not many people survive."

"What was I hit by?"

"A drunk truck driver it tipped you guys over, why were you out so late Miss?"

"I was going home.." I tell her.

"Is that all you remember?" She asked, putting some ointment on before replacing the bandages.

"Yes ma'am."

"What happened to Landon?" I ask.

"He was hit, but he managed to get out of the car... I don't know how he survived that either. When we arrived at the scene to bring you to the hospital.. your door was busted up, pretty badly I would add. But he managed to pull you out . You weren't breathing at all. So we had to perform CPR. And here you are now." She finishes and I nod my head at her.

"What happened to the Truck Driver?" I ask.

"He's unconscious at the moment." She commented, turning to the machine, looking at my heart rate and whatever else she needed to see if I was okay. "Went into a coma."

"You should be released as soon as everything seems normal."

"How long will that be?"

"Up to a week."

"Thats going to be a lot of on the medical bill right?"

"Your fiancé insisted."

Of course he did.

They soon came back in, and I was relieved.

They all start joking about how we have to wait even longer for the wedding and I roll my eyes as they continue to bicker with each other, on who's the bridesmaids will be. I would have missed them if I didn't... survive.

While they were busy doing that with each other I noticed Landon didn't quite engage in any conversation. He felt my stare and his head lifted to connect our eyes together.. he was in pain.

I held my hand out to him, and he allowed me to have my silent wish for him to be near me.

"You look tired." I noted, lacing our fingers together. His grip was tight but it was also bearable.

"I am." But he doesn't lay down next to me and I pout call me crazy but I was missing his warmth, he made me feel safe.

"I don't want to hurt you." He warned me and I shake my head at him. Patting the bed again. He sighs before he slips in next to me, not objecting this time.

" I think we should give them so privacy." I heard one of them whisper.

Landon wraps his arms around me, and I scoot closer to him, wrapping my other arm around him.

"I have to get a picture first."

"Get out." Landon tells them playfully, wanting to be left alone with me.

Hearing the door shut I felt Landon pulling at my chin with his thumb, making me look up at him. "Don't leave me." He whispers and I look into his hazel eyes, god I would have missed him.

I place a hand on his chin, even though whatever was attached to me protested. Pulling him to me until our lips touched. It was a gentle kiss, letting him know I will be here for him. I rest my head against his chest.

"I won't."
