Anon Request: Brenna gets into a car accident and Greer rushes to the hospital but Brenna's in a coma, and Greer tells her old stories of them together and she tells her she loves her, for the first time.
I got the text when I got home from school, and what felt like minutes later I was at the hospital. I rushed through the ER doors, and was caught by Ms. Carver and April, both in tears, their faces made my heart sink.
Ms. Carver sniffed softly, as April stepped forwards, tears streaming down her own cheeks.
"Ummmm… It appears that, Brenna was in an accident on the way home from school, some guy just… Ran a stop sign and slammed into the driver's side of the car…" April whispers her voice cracking every so often. She shakes her head slowly, trying to compose herself, I can feel hot tears sliding down my own face as well. Why her…?
The doors to the ER opens and a man in a white lab coat moves towards us.
"Sara, I came as soon as I heard… Where is she? Have you heard anything?" The man in the lab coat asks as I watch the interaction between Ms. Carver and the man.
"Greer this is our Uncle George, Uncle George this is Greer, Brenna's girlfriend." April introduces us, and George shakes my hand, "sorry we have to meet under these circumstances…" I nod slowly fresh tears still coating my cheeks.
"I'll go see what's going on. Hang tight." He says as he hurries back through the double doors. April turns my way with a frown, she steps forwards and wraps her arms tightly around me.
"It's gonna be okay…" She whispers softly holding me tightly and pats my back gently. I hear a familiar voice behind me, "April, I got your text." I turn around to see Beth embracing April.
"Grandma's on her way, she's stuck in traffic…" Ms. Carver says turning to April who slowly nods and turns back to Beth.
"How's she doing…? Any word yet?" Beth asks eyes darting to each of us.
"No, Uncle George is back there seeing what's going on…" As soon as the words leave her lips the double doors open and George slowly walks towards us, face pale and a hint of a watery covering over his eyes.
He stands in front of us, no words leaving his mouth, Ms. Carver steps forwards.
"George… Say something… Please, say something…" She pleas, as we all stare intently at him.
"She's… Alive… But… They can't wake her up…" He closes his eyes as I feel my heart drop into my stomach, everyone freezes, the tears coming harder, this isn't happening… This can't be happening.
Another doctor moves through the double doors, "are you here with Ms. Carver?" He asks quietly and Ms. Carver quickly nods.
"I'm Dr. Thompson, I'll be Ms. Carver's attending physician. I believe George has given you the details…?" He says softly and Ms. Carver nods slowly.
"Family can go back and see her, others have to wait in the waiting room." The doctor says motioning to me and Beth.
"No, they are family, and they're coming with us. Please, Dr. Thompson." Ms. Carver explains he sighs softly looking at the two of us, before he nods with a soft smile.
"Okay, she's in room 242. You can go back now if you'd like." The Doctor smiles his eyes darting to each of us before he moves back through the double doors where he came from.
Ms. Carver and April lead to the back, Beth and I follow behind. I glance over Beth's way, to see her eyes already on me, she mouths silently, 'it's going to be okay.' She smiles softly and slips her arm around me holding me close to her as we move towards Brenna's room.
Ms. Carver and April enter first, and I feel pain sting hard in my chest when I see her, eyes closed, tubes in her mouth and an IV in her hand. I shake my head quickly as the tears come at a rapid pace. My heart hurts in my chest, as we all move towards the bed, she's just so battered and broken… I stare down at Brenna, watching her breathe softly in and out.
The room is completely silent, the only sound that can be heard is soft sniffling and the beeping of Brenna's heart monitor. Ms. Carver kneels down and places a kiss to Brenna's forehead, she steps back and April steps forwards leaning down towards her little sister.
"You can get through this Bren… I just know it… You've just gotta fight…" She whispers softly placing her hand on top of hers. Tears prickle at the corner of her eyes and slowly slide down her cheeks.
"You've just gotta fight…" She whispers again as she sniffs softly and slowly stands, and turns to embrace her mother.
I don't know what to do… This is a nightmare right…? It has to be… I slide my hand over Brenna's and squeeze it gently and kneel down next to her, and gently tuck a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
"Come back to us Brenna… Please…" I whisper softly rubbing my thumb back and forth across her somewhat lifeless hand. I close my eyes as the tears slide down my cheeks. I feel a hand gently rubbing up and down my back, glance over to see April standing next to me. I slowly stand and wrap my arms around April and let out a sob, as the tears rapidly fall down my cheeks.
"Shhhh… It's going to be okay…"She coos softly into my ear, and continues rubbing my back. "It's all going to be okay Greer… She'll come back to us…" She whispers stepping back, her hands on my shoulders.
"I know she will…" She says with a soft smile, as we both look back to the bed. April walks over to Beth, and I move back over and kneel down next to the bed taking Brenna's hand.
"You can do this Brenna, we're all here by your side, you've just gotta fight…" I whisper softly, wishing the lifeless hand in mine would intertwine out fingers, like I'm used to, but it doesn't.
Visiting hours come to an end and I find myself slowly making my way to my car, tomorrow I'll be here bright and early, and the day after that and the day after that, until I see those perfect eyes of hers shine again.
