Alright, well this is my first story I'm gonna publish on here. Hopefully all goes well. Gah it took me 3 times to write this frickin thing cause my computer kept dying and it wasm't saving what I've one xPPP
This story was inspired by the song Without You from the musical Rent. I was reading a CS fanfic when it popped into my head and viola, we have this ^^
May: Callie does not own Pokemon or Rent, if she did she would be ruling the world right now.
Tears and Roses
Two roses.
One green and one red.
Reside in a garden near a certain green haired boy's house. The green rose appears to be slowly wilting while the red one looks to be crying. A single dew drop falls from the velvet red petals as another petal falls from the emerald rose.
This scene however was not only occurring in this garden. Several miles away, at the Petalburg hospital, was May and Drew. Though this is not a scene that anybody would want to see.
Lying on the right, in the hospital bed closest to the window, seemingly asleep, was Drew. While May was in the bed across from him, trying to get up, but failing due to her injuries and doctors holding her back. Tears were streaming from her eyes, and she began yelling, trying to wake Drew.
"DREW! Drew, answer me! You gotta wake up!" She cried out. May knew it was useless though, he couldn't see her, hear her, or even knew she was there. But she had to do something, anything, to try and wake him up.
"Miss. MISS! Please calm down," spoke Dr. Leanna, "We are doing all that we can, but you struggling against us and screaming will do no good. He cannot hear you, much less he doesn't even know we even exist. He is in a coma, and for now that's not going to change."
At that word she broke down again, and fell back down into the bed. She knew it was hopeless, but she had to try. After all, it was all her fault. She should be the one in a coma, not him. She started sobbing into her pillow, clinging on to it as if her life depended on it. Dr. Leanna saw that May had seemed to calm down and left the room with the other doctors. When they left the room became silent, except for May crying. She began to think back to that morning, when everything unfolded.
Flashback
May had awoken pretty early that morning, around 2 am to be precise. She had no idea where she was. All of a sudden she saw flashes of the previous events and immediately remembered what happened. Suddenly panicking, she started looking for something, or should I say someone.
"Drew!" She said, not quite yelling, but not whispering either. May saw him resting in the bed across from her, sleeping peacefully. She wasn't surprised; it was 2 am after all. She didn't want to wake him so she tried busying herself until he awoke. She was hoping that they would be able to talk alone at least for a few minutes. She started looking around the room, but her eyes kept falling on Drew and his injuries.
She noticed that his left leg was in a cast, most likely broken. Then there were the numerous cuts and bruises along his face and arms. She cringed when she saw a large gash across his chest. His torso was bandaged as well; she didn't want to think of what could have caused those injuries. He also had several IVs in his right arm most likely giving him medicine for the pain. Her eyes kept wandering to his head though. His green hair had been flattened against his face; some of it even looked like it had been cut. Covering his hair was a rather large bandage. She hoped that nothing serious had come from it, but she had to admit, with all the bandages, he sort of looked like a mummy.
But of course, she didn't have much room to talk. Her right arm was in a cast, probably broken as well. She had several cuts along her legs, and she felt a sharp pain in her back. She then examined the bandages on her torso. It seemed that she had broken a rib or two. May kept messing with the bandages for a little while longer but grew bore. She continued waiting for Drew to wake up though. And she waited. And waited.
May ended up nodding off and woke up when the first nurse made her shift. The nurse examined their injuries but May was beginning to worry. It was now about 9:30 and Drew still hadn't woken up. The nurse sensed her anxiety and stepped out of the room for a moment calling someone. May began to become curious, 'What is she doing?' She wondered.
"Miss Maple, you have a visitor here to speak to you," the nurse spoke warmly. 'A visitor? I wonder who it could be. Maybe Mom and Dad? Or Max? Or Dawn and Misty?' She began to list people who could be visiting her, and didn't even realize she had already come in.
"Hmmhmm," the person cleared their throat, causing May to be jolted out of her thoughts and turn towards the source of the sound. Then her face looked like it could light up Lt. Surge's Stadium.
"Solidad! What are you doing here!" She exclaimed. She never expected her to walk through that door. They actually hadn't spoken to each other for a few months, so she wondered how she knew she was here.
"I'm here to see you and Drew of course. What else would I be doing here?"
"But, how did you know we were here?"
"Brock called me and said you had been injured. He and the gang couldn't make it, but since I was nearby, I decided I would stop in." Then her face fell. "I'm actually here to speak to you on behalf of your parents and doctors."
"Well, what's going on?" She tried to keep calm, but she was still thoroughly worried about Drew. She glanced over to only see him still resting. Solidad noticed and continued.
"I am actually here to talk to you about you and Drew's. . . .situation. You probably haven't noticed yet but, it has been a week since the accident and you are the first to awake since then."
May gasped, 'Has it really been a week?' she glanced over at Drew worried about him. "S-So Drew hasn't woken up y-yet?" May stuttered.
"No he hasn't. He. . .,"she trailed off, trying to keep her composure. She took a few deep breaths and started again. "Drew is. . .damn how do I say this. . .he" She looked over at him, "isn't exactly sleeping."
May felt tears forming at her eyes, thinking of the worst. Just the thought of it made her feel like jumping out the nearest window.
Solidad saw May's sudden change and quickly spoke. "He's not dead, don't even think that for a minute! He's just. . . .the doctors said that he. . . .he's in a comatose state. Apparently he has been in once since you two arrived. He can't hear us, he doesn't even know we are here right now.
May looked back over at Drew, now understanding why he hasn't moved or woken up yet. She burst into tears, mentally berating herself. 'Why did this happen? It's all my fault! If I hadn't. . .' Then she felt a pair of arms wrap around her and began consoling her. Solidad had also began crying. That's when May lost it, she couldn't accept that he was in a coma.
"DREW! ANDREW HAYDEN EVANS! WAKE UP THIS INSTANT! IT'S ME, YOUR FRIEND MAY!" May cried out, attempting to get out of her bed wanting to shake him awake. She felt a pair of arms clasp around her holding her back.
"MAY! He can't hear you! Screaming and fighting will not bring him back." Tears were streaming down her face. She couldn't bear to see the pain that her friend was going through.
The door then flew open and Dr. Leanna and three other nurses rushed into the room. One came over to Solidad and pulled her away from May. She explained that they would take care of May but she needed to leave. Solidad was then rushed towards the door. She turned around to glance at her friends. One seemed to be sleeping while the other seemed to be fighting for her life. Solidad felt that her heart was ripped to shreds when she saw her friends, her brother and sister, going through this much pain.
Then the door slammed. Cutting her off from them, not knowing what was to happen. Being left in the hall while she heard the screams emanating from the room made her feel small. The two people she was the closest to were now out of reach. What was going to happen now?
Alright well here is chapter one, I tried to keep it at a decent length ^^
Hopefully it appealed to some of yall, and I hope to have the next chapter up by the end of the week, but it depends if I get my AP Homework done or not xP
