A/N: HEY GUYSSS! THANKS TO THOSE WHO FOLLOWED AND FAVORITED (PROBABLY SPELLED WRONG) BUT THANKS!
Also, please if you read this, please review and tell me what you think! I don't care if you have something bad to say, I wanna hear it! Have a great day y'all!
"Ms. Swan?" I jerk up and look to see the doctor standing over me.
"Y-yes?"
"I'm so sorry to have to tell you this, but the infection has gotten so bad that Mr. Meraz's body is rejecting the treatment. The only way that I could think of to help his body heal is to put him into a medically induced coma. The rate that the infection damaged his internal organs was extremely fast,but since he won't be able to stress his body anymore, he should heal at a faster rate than if he were awake."
"Weren't you supposed to get my permission first?"
"Technically, if the paperwork were turned in,yes, but I had to make this decision for the patient. I didn't have time to consult you."
"Will he wake up?" Jared asks looking at the doctor from across the room.
"He should. I'm not for certain because the damage was so great, but he should. He'll be sent back to this room soon." He shakes my hand and nods to Jared before leaving.
A coma, the man that I love is in a coma. I drop to my knees. He may never wake up.
"He'll be okay Bells." Kim says as she kneels beside me.
"Yeah. I know." I say as I force myself up and sit on the window seat, waiting on Paul to be brought back to the room.
About an hour later a group of nurses brings him in and sets up the oxygen and the other machines that he needs to keep him alive.
"Let the nurses station know if there is any complications or if you have any complications." The nurses and Jared and Kim leave and I move closer to Paul.
I sit there for a few hours simply thinking about the time that Paul and I had spent together and how I had hoped our life would turn out.
"You know, I had high hopes for you and I. We'd been together for eight and a half years, I never thought that this would have happened.. I thought you and I would have made the next step, and apparently before you left on this last tour, you were planning to take that next step, but life threw a large curve ball...Whether you can hear me or not, I love you Paul. I'm not going anywhere unless I have to. I promise." I lean back in the chair and slowly begin to tell him about my life after he left.
"I wonder if Jared ever told you the reason he left his house the day after you left me. If not I'll tell you. I knocked all of the pictures of you and I off the wall and walked through the glass after I got up from my knees after three hours. I woke up that next morning and reopened the cuts and added new ones walking into the living room to let Jared in. He told me that I needed to stay off my feet and you know me, I didn't listen. I still had to go to work and take care of myself," I began to chuckle, "I bet you guessed already, but I ended up with an infection. It wasn't as bad as yours obviously, but yeah." I talked to him for hours, simply because I was trying to drown out the incessant beeping that was coming from his heart monitor.
Paul has been in this coma for almost a week, and I haven't left his side unless I had to shower or what not. But that changed today. Today his mother Erika Meraz showed up.
"Where is my son? What did that pale faced bitch do to my son?" I hear her screechy voice from down the hall and sigh. Erika Meraz hates me and everything that I stand for in her son's life.
Paul left home when he was seventeen and enlisted in the army against Erica's wished and moved in with me and Charlie to finish high school. When Erica found out that Paul and I were together, she lost it. She would call my phone almost every day to tell me that I wasn't worthy of her son as a paleface or as a woman, until I changed my number. Once she somehow found out that Paul was going to be bounced around from base to base in his first tour, she tried to convince his commanding officer to let her go with him, instead of me. After her embarrassing him at the beginning of his first tour, he told her to stay out of his life, and she hadn't.
I wish he would have gotten that restraining order I think to myself as I hear her heels clicking down the hallway.
While the La Push Rez may be poor, Erika Mraz was not. She started up her own business when Paul was around thirteen, and has been making good money ever since. I walk out the door and close it gently behind me as I face down Erika.
"What did you do to my son?" She hisses. Her eyes filled with hatred, her fake blonde hair pulled back into a tight bun, her pant-suit was wrinkled and stained in many places.
"I didn't do anything to him. He did this to himself." I say calmly, she brings herself up, only an inch taller than me, and I laugh at her attempt to be above me.
"What are you laughing at? What do you mean he did this to himself? What did you do you stupid bitch?" She screeches.
"I'm laughing at you. If you hadn't screwed up his life and tried to control him, you would be in the loop on what happened. At this moment, you have no reason to know what's wrong with him."
"All I have to do is tell the doctor that I am his mother and they'll tell me what's wrong with him, you stupid bitch." She sneered grabbing my arm. I pull my arm out of her grasp and laugh.
"You're wrong. I have power of attorney, and you aren't on his contact list. They will come to me to see if they can give out his information, and I'll tell them no. You've meddled in his life and our life enough. He told you before his first tour, before we even left for the base that he didn't want you in his life anymore. You need to leave." I step back and lean against Paul's door watching her cautiously. This woman can be very dangerous.
Looking around I notice a security guard walking towards us, "Can I help you ladies?"
I nod, "This woman needs to be removed from in front of this patient's door, she has no reason to be here. The patient told her that he didn't want her in the room or even knowing what's wrong with him." He nods and gently begins to lead her away from the door and down the hall. I follow behind to make sure that she is actually led away from the hospital.
Please review y'all! It'll make me happy!
