Changed My World
(Morgan's POV)
Today my life could change for the better. Today's the day I decided I will finally ask Garcia, my girlfriend of seven months to marry. At first, I was scared to death I mean this is a huge commitment. Then I realised, it's with someone I am in love with, and I'd be willing to do so much for her.
I prepare for the day a head with a smile on face, knowing that my life will most likely change forever. As I start to gather my coat and keys, my cell rings. With a bounce in my step, I unclip my phone from my belt and answer it.
"Hello?" I answer.
"Morgan, it's JJ something's happened." JJ responds, her voice cracking with emotion.
"Woah, woah, woah slow it down. What happened?"
"Something happened with..." She pauses to sob lightly. "Garcia." Wait, what? What happened?
"What do you mean something happened with Garcia? Is she ok?" I ask, sitting down in a nearby chair.
"Derek, Garcia got in a car accident, it's really bad. It's not looking good. She's at The hospital on Main street, just please get here quickly." No, there's no way this can happen. There's no way she's in the hospital, this can't be happening.
"I'll be right there." I don't even bother saying goodbye as I slam my phone shut. Throwing my phone on the table carelessly, I race out the door and to my car. I couldn't get my car out of park fast enough as I began to speed my way to hospital.
When I get to the hospital, I immediately ask the front desk which floor she's one and they tell me she's on the 5th floor. Not even bothering to wait for an elevator, I run to the staircase and up the stairs to the fifth floor. I burst through the stairwell door leading to the fifth floor. Looking to my left, I see the rest of the team there, obviously looking distraught. Everyone raises their heads and look at me as I make my way over to them.
"What's going on? What happened?" I ask them, out of breath.
"She was on her way to work when a drunk driver ran a red light. Completely blindsided her. Made her car flip several times." This is so much to take in. I manage to sit down in one of the chairs. I feel my eyes starting to water.
"Morgan, the doctors said it doesn't look good. Her condition just keeps deteriorating. There saying she's not going to make it." Emily manages to get out before collapsing her head on her knees and crying. She's not going to make it? No, this can't be happening. Why, did that drunk driver have to run a red light? What was so fucking important that it was worth running a red light and freaking my girlfriend?
As my head hangs, I take a shaky breath as tears are now forming in my eyes.
"Why, today why now? Today was supposed to be a fantastic day."
"Morgan, what do you mean today was supposed to fantastic?" Hotch's voice speaks up. I raise my head slightly to look at him. He usually looks calm and collective, now though he looks though as if he is on the verge of breaking down himself.
"I was going to propose to her today, but now I may never get the chance to do so." Hanging my head again, I begin to silently cry for the first time in forever.
"Morgan, I am truly sorry. I know this has to be incredibly tough on you. You love her." Hotch awkwardly gives my shoulder a pat.
"The things that sucks the most though Hotch," i pause to raise my head once again to look at him. "Is now as we speak, it feels as if my heart has just been crushed, shattered, however you want to put it. A part of me is dying, and she were to not make it through this, I don't what I would do." When I finish, more tears come to my eyes. I take the back of my left hand and hastily wipe the tears from my eyes.
"Penelope Garcia?" A voice calls out. All of our heads snap up as we look at a man in scrubs, which I assume is her doctor.
"Yes, that's us. What's happened?" I ask the man, getting up out of my chair and walking to right in front of the doctor.
"I hate to be the barer of bad news, but I have to inform you that Mrs. Garcia has gone into a coma, and I'm afraid to tell you that her condition continues to worsen. Now I would recommend people who wanted to say final things to her, to do that now." The doctor nods his head before walking back down the corridor. Coma? Final things? It's official, my life is falling apart and I can't fucking take it.
Without thinking, I drop on my knees to the floor. And I openly start weeping in the middle of the hall. I can't do this, I swear to God I'm going to die of a broken heart in no time in all.
"Morgan I'm so sorry, seriously there are no words to explain how you must be feeling." JJ says as I get up off the floor.
"I'm going in there." I announce as I struggle to lift a hand and wipe my eyes.
"Morgan are you sure that's the best..."
"I said I'm going in there and that's it." I walk away and try to find Garcia's room. Within a minute or so, I find her room and have no hesitation going in. When I step in, I am truly shocked at her state. There are multiple tubes coming in and out of her. The bruises were her skin is showing is contrasting against her porcelain skin.
Seeing a chair next to her bedside, I carefully bring the chair as close as possible then I sit down. Looking at her, My eyes begin to water as I take in all the visual damage to her. Hopefully the drunk driver faces the similar fate as Penelope is.
Taking her right hand in mine, I just hold on to it as begin to speak.
"Hey sweetheart, you probably know who it is even though you can't see or hear me. There's just a few things I wanted to say to you. Penelope, I know your going to make it through this because you're the strongest person that I know. Your also going to make it through this because there are people out there that care about you, including me. I'm going to be honest here, I thought you were the one. My mother had always told me that you'll know when you meet the one your suppose to be with for the rest of your life. I never believed her, until I met you. I Only wish I would've met you sooner so I could enjoy all this with you and more." I inhale a shaky breath.
"Baby girl, for when you don't make it through this I just want you to know that I love you so much, I don't want you to ever forget that. I wanted everything with you, the house, dog, kids everything. I just want you to know that I love you so much and I always will." I finish as a few tears escape my eyes. I put my down on our interlocked hands as a few tears from my eyes fall onto our hands. All I do is openly cry in front of her knowing this might be the end.
I know this is depressing, but I promise you were not over with this yet. And I hope you guys like it so far :)
