I Remember

Chapter 7 : I Promise You

Alex's P.O.V.

Days went on, it was almost a month and everyone wondered when Nate would wake up. I visited him everyday, and always hoped he would just open his eyes.

"Doctor, your positive that he'll wake up soon?" Mr. Grey asked, once more. The doctor nodded his head, "I am sure. But..." he started, "But what?" Mrs. Grey asked.

"There could be some minor complications." he stated, "What kind?" they both asked, I stood there just listening to them talk. "Were not sure, but we just know there will be." he admitted, and he quickly walked away before he would be bombed with more questions.

I sighed, "I'll go and see Nate again." I said, they just smiled a little at me and I walked away. Once I got to the door of the room, I found Shane and Jason leaving.

"I swear I thought I heard him make some noise." Jason said, "I didn't hear it." Shane replied. They both looked at me, I smiled a little. "I'll go and see him." I said, they nodded and I walked in.

Nate hadn't changed at all, but there were two black chairs this time. "Nate, I'm here." I said, feeling like I was his wife coming home. I smiled at the thought, and when I sat down I glanced at my ring.

I touched it, and loved the feeling of it. I kept my eyes focused on how it's silver and red shined, I then saw something more in it. I pulled the ring off, and noticed there was something engraved.

I couldn't believe that I hadn't seen it at all. I put the ring up so close to my eyes, and read what the fancy cursive said. N & A, together, forever.

I smiled at it, my eyes got watery once again. I wiped them away, and decided to sing to Nate. It was a song that I had tried to write, I only got some words down though...

I know, that my love for you is real. It's something true that we do, just something natural that I feel. When you walk in the room and your near, I feel my heart skip a beat, the whole world disappears.

It was a song I had tried to sing for Nate, but I had gotten to scared to and just bought him a bracelet. I glanced to his wrist, he was still wearing it.

It was all black, with red carvings into it. It just said, 'I love you'. I smiled a little, and rubbed his hand. I looked at him, and I watched as his mouth started to open.

"Alex..." he mumbled, I jumped up. I ran to the door, to find Shane and Jason waiting outside. "H-he, actually s-spoke!" I stuttered and yelled at the same time.

We all ran in the room, I expected to See Nate's eyes opening. But he was just laying there, and I felt my heart drop. I was so sure he had actually spoken.

"Sorry Alex." Shane said, walking out. I sighed, Jason looked at me, he smiled a little. "It's okay Lex, I believe you." he said, I hugged him.

I just wished it was true, I just wish he had actually woken up. He was close to, but I guess it wasn't time... I just sat back down, and continued to sing to Nate.
