Black was all I could see. I felt like letting it over take me, but there was always a familiar voice whispering 'Stay with me Charlie. Don't give up.' It caused me to try harder to find the light. I willed it to come out, and shine brightly. I walked around in every corner in my mind, searching for it. I finally had enough of it and started to hit the walls trying to break through, tears falling down my face. I sat down leaning against the wall and sighed in frustration. I put my head on my knees, closed my eyes and fell asleep. I felt my soul leave my body, and out of my mind like it did when I fell asleep in there. I was now standing in the Hospital wing. It was always a different place. The last time I was in the Room of Requirement with Sirius again, watching my memories is what I think it was. Well the only ones I had since I woke up on the grounds. But this was different; I haven't been the hospital during the day. I heard talking through a curtain. Being the curious person I was, I looked. I saw my body. I was lying on a bed with the white covers on me. My brown hair fell around my head on the pillow, in perfect brown strands. My eyes were closed and I was breathing, but barely. Someone was holding my hand. He was sitting in the chair next to me. His black hair was a mess, but it looked good on him. His gray eyes were tired, sad, and worried. They were also filled of something that I didn't know. He reached with his other hand and brushed my cheek. I brought my hand to my cheek; it was warm from his touch.
"Charlie if you can hear me, keep fighting. Keep fighting. Don't give up hope. You'll get through this. They say you might not make it, but I know you can. You're a fighter I can tell. As long as you're breathing I won't give up hope. You will live. I need you to. I don't know how I survived all my life without you. When I first saw you, I knew. If you live I don't want to be with anyone else, but you. I wish I could tell you this when you wake up but I wouldn't have the courage to. It's easier to say it without you taking my breath away with those eyes of yours. If you don't wake up I'll be right behind you. That's a promise. If you were awake you'd probably hit me saying 'Don't you dare!' And hit me upside the head." He laughed, but it wasn't his usually laugh. I felt tears in my eyes.
"It did occur to me you might not feel the same way as I do, and we might end up like Lily and James for half the time we know each other, but I have decided that as long as I see you alive and happy I'll be okay." I did feel the same way. I don't know how much I wanted to tell him, that. I kneeled next to his chair. He remained to look at my body, and stroke my cheek. I gazed at him, through my tears. I put my hand to his cheek. I closed my eyes and thought 'I feel the same', with a lot of energy. I heard him gasp. I opened my eyes. His gray eyes were wide.
"Charlieā¦"he whispered. I gave a small smile. Then I felt it taking me back, into my body. 'Don't give on me and I won't give up fighting' I thought hard, my hand still on his cheek. Then I was sucked back into the darkness. I woke with a start in the blackness. I stood up with new courage to wake up. I searched again, went I heard the whisper "I won't." it whispered. I smiled with joy. I saw something out the corner of my eye. I turned and saw the light. I smiled even more brightly and ran towards it. I was drowned by light. I opened my eyes with a gasp of breath. I felt the soft pillow under my head and the itchy hospital covers, but most importantly I felt a hand holding mine. I looked over at him. His gray eyes were filled with happiness.
"Sirius..." I whispered, and shot up to hug him but felt pain in my body. I yelled out, and fell back on to the bed.
"Madam Promfrey!" Sirius yelled. He turned back to me.
"You're going to okay, love." He said, his eyes were happy, but worried. The nurse rushed in and started to shoo him away. I felt his hand leave mine and he was rushed out the door.
Third Persons POV.
In the common room, Riley was curled up on the couch next to Remus, who was comforting her, about her friend being in a coma. Riley thought it was her fault. She didn't check behind her to make sure Charlie was behind her. Riley felt tear in her eyes but refused to cry in the Common room. On the other side of the room was lily with her arm around James. James thought it was also his fault, and felt grateful to Charlie. If she hadn't saved his life she would be here not in a coma, but also since he had lived he was now with Lily. When he woke up from his hospital bed Lily was there crying. When she saw him awake she shot up and kissed him, afterwards apologized for all these years and said she loved him too. If Charlie ever woke up he owned her his life. He shook his head. Lily rubbed his back. Charlie had been in a coma for a week and the healers said she might not survive. Sirius had failed to accept that and sat next to her every day, when he could. James could tell Sirius loved Charlie, from the light in his eyes when he sometime looked at her. He knew that look well; it was the way he looked at Lily. That's when Sirius busted into the Common room and yelled, "She's awake!" He was out of breath from running here from the Hospital wing. Everyone turned to look at him. The stood up and smiled at each other. She was awake.
