Chapter Four: Afterlife

Death. Most people know that they are going to die sooner or later but what happens when you die. Where you do you go? Does a heaven or hell exist? What happens with your loved ones that you left behind? What happens if you don't' want to die. Should you follow the white light at the end of the tunnel like everybody says there is or do you refuse to follow it. What to do?

"Wait...wait!" Lauren yelled trying to release herself from Nadia's grip. "I don't know if I want to go yet." As soon as Nadia heard the words come out of Lauren's mouth she let go.

"Why? She doesn't care about you Lauren. At least not as much as I do. Don't you see that she doesn't love you? That whenever she has the chance, she goes back to Dyson." Her words cut through Laurens heart but she knew that Bo did have feelings for her even if nothing was said between them.

"Look, I know that the situation that we are in is not ideal, but all we have to do is talk and stop avoiding the pink elephant in the room. I don't know if I'm ready to wake up yet but I do know that I don't want to die." Lauren said hoping that Nadia would soon leave her alone and let her think.

"Okay fine Lauren as you wish. I will stay here with you in limbo until you decide to come with me…or wake up." Nadia did not want to admit the last choice because it meant losing Lauren forever but at the same time, she knows that only Lauren can decide.

Reality

Meanwhile in the waiting room, Bo was packing back and forth wondering about Lauren's state. No matter how hard she tried to stay calm, the images of Lauren and her flatlining just made her want to vomit.

"Bo-please calm down. You're making me nervous. I know that your lady lover is in there, but we have to stay positive. Lauren survived five years of servitude to the Ash, and Nadia's death. She is a strong woman and she loves you. She won't leave you before putting up a fight." Kenzi said trying to help her friend. When Bo and Dyson broke up she was heartbroken and thought that she would never love again. However, this time she was wrong. Lauren was able to capture Bo's heart and if Lauren dies, her best friend would never be the same.

"Bo" Dyson was about to say something but the doctor came in. "Is there any family members of Lauren Lewis?"

"Yes. I'm her girlfriend." Bo said immediately not caring if Dyson or whoever was there was listening. All she wanted was to know how Lauren was doing.

"I'm sorry but I need family members. We don't give any information to same sex couples."

"What do you mean you don't give any information to same sex couples?" Bo said feeling her anger rising. It wasn't bad enough that Lauren almost died but the idiot of a doctor as he calls himself is not providing any information of Lauren's condition.

"Look, Dr. If you don't tell me how my girlfriend is doing, I will personally deal with you myself."

"Is that a threat? May I remind you that you're in a place where there are plenty of securities and if it's necessary I can just call the cops." The doctor said with a smirk.

"Well if you need to talk to a cop, you're standing right in front of one." Dyson interrupted. "Oh and the person you are talking to is my best friend, so if you don't want any problems I suggest you to start talking." Dyson said giving the doctor a death glare.

The doctor was speechless. He was about to say something but realized that it was better if he talked. So he did. "Lauren is in intensive care right now. She had serious head trauma. We were able to stop the bleeding but the damage is still unknown. We won't know anything until she wakes up. She might face memory loss, loss of motor function. The worst case scenario is that she might never wake up or stays in a vegetable state. Like I said I don't want to get ahead of myself until we take her off of the sedatives and that will be in a couple of hours." The doctor said.

If Kenzi wasn't holding on to Bo, Bo would have probably fallen. "Can I go see her?" She asked trying to remain strong but failing miserably.

"Yes you may. Come with me." Bo grabbed Kenzi as support because she didn't know if she was going to be prepared for what she was about to see.

As they entered the room, Bo went directly to Lauren grabbing her good hand. "Hey sweetie, I'm here and I won't leave you. I promise." Bo said holding back the tears that were forming in her eyes.

"Do you hear that?" Lauren asked as she heard something from very far.

"Hear what?" Nadia said. She knew who was talking but hoped that Lauren couldn't recognize the voice but to her disappointment, she did.

"It's Bo." Lauren said trying desperately to hear what she was saying.

"Lauren you can't possibly think that" Nadia was soon interrupted by Lauren telling her to be quiet.

"Hey Lauren. I don't know if you can hear me but I need to tell you something. You have to wake up, you hear me? I love you Lauren so much. I never told you how I felt because I was scared of what would happen if I told you. I thought that maybe you wouldn't feel the same way for me and that terrified me but here I am telling you that I love you. I know it's late but you can never be too late right? I need you Lauren. I need you and don't know if I c-can live without you. Just thinking about it kills me. You have to wake up do you understand? Please wake up. Do it for me please?" Bo couldn't finish because as soon as she stopped talking she let go of her tears and started to cry.

Lauren was happy. She knew that Bo loved her but wanted she wanted to hear it and she finally did. She turned to face Nadia and felt a little guilty for what she was going to do. "Nadia, I'm sorry but I have to go back. Bo loves me just like I love her and I want to be with her. I love you. You were my everything and you know that. If I didn't, I wouldn't have enslaved myself to the Ash. I loved you for five years and suffered. I never knew that I could fall in love again with somebody but I did and all I ask of you is to please let me go. Let me try to be happy. I think I deserve the right, don't you think?" Lauren said hoping that Nadia would understand.

Even if it pained her, she knew Lauren was right. She deserved every right to be happy and her staying would only make her miserable. She could stay but her heart wouldn't be with her because it would be with a succubus that she left behind. "Go Lauren. Be happy and please fight for the things that make you happy." Nadia said pulling her into a last embrace.

"Thank you, Nadia. I love you too and with that Lauren went back to her body."

Reality

Bo didn't know at what time she fell asleep but knew that it must have been for a while, for the doctor came in telling her that he had to take Lauren off of the sedatives and she would wake up by herself. To be honest, she didn't know how she would react once Lauren would wake up. Should she pull her into a hug? Should she just stay still until Lauren tells her it's okay? What should she do? Just as Bo's mind was racing, she heard a voice.

"W" Lauren could barely speak.

"Lauren, honey your awake!" Bo yelled and went to Lauren hugging her as best she could so she wouldn't hurt the object of her affection.

"W-W-Who are you?" Lauren asked making Bo pull away hurt and sad.
