A/N:JUst a heads up its 3:30 in the morning, I'm tired, and I did not check everything as well as I should have so beware of the mistakes. I hope you guys like this chapter.
"W-where am I?"
"Alison!" Spencer gasps
"Your awake." Aria adds
Alison POV
"W-where am I? What happened?" I ask weakly
"Your in the hospital, Hun. You guys were in a car accident." Aria tells me
I turn my head slowly to the left and see Hanna lying in a hospital bed next to mine. Her body looks so limp and lifeless. It almost looks as if she not even there anymore. Then I turn my head to the other side and see Emily and Noel talking and laughing and smiling and I wonder, how can they be so happy at a time like this.
"How long was I out?" I laugh softly
"Crazy right?" Spencer laughs back
"Hey, I'm gonna go get Dr. Bradley." Aria says, walking towards the door
"No, wait. Please get Billy instead. If I have to have a doctor, I want it to be him. He is a trama surgeon." I say
"Ok, I'll go find Billy." Aria agrees
"Alison?" Emily and Noel both asks after hearing the sound of the door slam
"Yup, I'm alive." I reply
"H-how are you feeling?" Noel asks, rushing to my side
"Like I drove my car into a semi-truck and had a miscarrige." I reply dryly
"How did you know about that?" Emily asks
"Just because I was in a coma didn't mean I could hear you guys." I asnwer
"I'm sorry about the baby Alison. I know everyone was still adjusting to the fact that we were having a baby together, but I could already tell that you loved our baby." Noel whispers, kissing my forehead gentlely
"Noel, you don't know what happened during that accident." I say with anger in my voice
"Then enlighten us!" Spencer shouts
I cringe at the sharp tone of her voice. I just woke up after being in a coma for two months. It doesn't exactly feel great when someone raises their voice.
"Please keep your voice down, and keep your distance from me. I'm in more pain then you can imagine right now." I beg
"Sorry, I just, want to know what happened." Spencer sighs
"Yeah, me too." Noel agrees, but his voice like venom
"In the car, Hanna said she didn't want to talk about Caleb, so we talked about the baby instead. I told her I didn't know what to do. I told her that a part of me wanted to keep the baby but I wanted to raise it with Emily, not Noel, but I knew neither of them would ever agree to it. Then I said I wanted to put it up for adoption, but I'd feel like I was only doing it in an effort to win back my girlfriend. Hanna told me that whatever I decided to do, I had to do it because it was what I really wanted and what I felt was best for the baby. Then we started talking about Caleb and Aria, then something about hot twins, but after that its still a blur. I remember hitting the semi, and I remember being pulled out of the car, and then being taken to the hospital, but I cannot fot the life of me remember why I lost control of the wheel." I admitt
"Ehm." Billy makes his presence in the room known
"Girls and Noel, I'd like a minute alone with Alison. We need to examine her and then I want to talk to her before the cops try and badger her with questions." Billy says
"Yeah, of course. Please just let us know when we can see her again." Aria requests
"Are Claudia and the boys here or did they go home?" Spencer asks
"They went home and you all should too. You've barely left this room in two months and it'll be awhile before you can get her away from all the doctors, and after that the cops will be needing her statement. I'll call you later." Billy tells my friends
"Alright, alright, we're going." Noel says annoyedly
"Bye Alison. I love you." Emily says placing a warm, soft kiss on my lips
"I love you too." I say after she pulls away
Line Break
"Alright Alison, all your incision sights have healed correctly and your brain doesn't seem to have any damage. There was some damage to your liver during the accident but we put you on some medication which seems to have helped. We still wanna moniter that for a few days then you can start physical theraphy and get the heck out of here." Billy says, looking over my chart again
"Exactly how much more time will I have to spend in here?" I ask
"We need to make sure liver is ok before you start physical theraphy, but if everything checks out ok, which I think it will, you can start your P.T. in about 3 or 4 days. P.T. is different for every patient and when you get to go home depends on how well and how quickily you progress." He explains
"So are you my doctor now?" I ask
"At first the told me no because I had just lost Caleb and I might be losing you girls to, but its been two months, I'm back to regular duty, and it looks like your gonna be fine. If Dr. Bradley agrees, I can steal you from him and oversee the rest of your recovery. As for Hanna, he's better prepared to handle her recovery. He's a trama surgoen, but he's also board certified in nerosurgery or brain surgery as well. With Hanna, we're concerned a lot with her head because she flew threw the windsheild and and suffered so major brain injuries. She's lucky yo even be alive at this point."
"Do you think she's ever gonna wake up?" I ask
"Well I think part of it has to do with how the body recovers and part of it has to do with the patients will to survive. Hanna knows that when she wakes up, Caleb won't be here. She might not want to wake up if it means living without him. If she gets the cahnce to die she might take it. We have to keep talking to her, let her know how much we need her in our lives, give her a reason to want to live. If you and Hanna switched places and Emily was dead, would you want to wake up and keep living or would you be conflicted?" Billy says truthfully
"I know that she loves Caleb, but she also loves Aria. Even if she won't ever have Caleb again, she'll still have Aria." I argue
"But Aria loves Spencer." he says
"But the broke up. They could barely even look at each other. Even if they still love each other, they have bad blood for some reason." I argue
"Well its up to Hanna to decide. You just gotta let her know you love her." Billy replies
"Dr. Dawson, could we please have a mintue alone with Miss DiLaurentis. We need to take her statement." A detective asks after barge in the room rather impatiently
"Sure." Billy says as he gets up of the bed "But I'm staying in the hall with the door open. If I feel this is too much for her I'm asking you to leave."
"Fine, you can stay in the room, but you have to let her answer the questions." the dectective sighs
"I've been through this before. I know how to behave." Billy replies
"Ok, Miss DiLaurentis, I'm Dt. Stone. I need to ask you a few questions about the night of the accident."
"Then ask." I snap
"What were you and Miss Marin doing out that night, where you going?" Dt. Stone asks
"We weren't going anywhere. She just found out about two hours earlier that her boyfriend was killed in a car wreck. She decided she wanted to go out for a drive and I insisted on going with her." I reply
"Where did you go?" Stone asks
"How the hell would I know? It was late at night and we were just driving to drive. We weren't going anywhere." I say rolling my eyes
"Ok well do you remember what happened while you were in the car?" the cop asks
"She didn't want to talk about Caleb so we talked about my baby and I what I wanted to do. Then she decided to bring up the topic of her boyfriend. She loved him but she was also in love with her best friend Aria and she said she felt liked if they got together it wouldn't be real since Caleb was gone. She said if Caleb was still alive Aria and her would never end up together. I told her to get a rebound and then go for Aria and she encouraged me to do the same. I cheated on my girlfriend with my ex-boyfriend but I still wanted her back but she didn't want to help me raise a baby I had with Noel. We were talking about rebouding with hot twins. First two guys then two girls." I explain
"Then what happened?" Dt. Stone asks
"I don't remember. After the hot twin thing I just remember seeing us crashing into the semi. Then everything black. The I heard sirens and soon I was being pulled out of the car and being driven here. I don't know why I hit that truck." I tell him
"Think harder! Your were driving the damn car!" he yells
"In told you that I don't remember." I say with tears in my eyes
"Look Alison, your friend could die. If you can't remember what made you drive into a semi, the states attorney could agree that you purposely did it, that you were trying to get away from the problems in your life so you tried to kill you and your friend! Why did you drive your car into the side of a semi-truck!" Dt. Stone yells once again
"Alrights thats enough! This girl has suffered a huge trama and you wanna come in here and yell at her? You are done with this case. I will contact your boss and tell him how you flipped out on a patient who just woke up from a two month coma. Get out this hospital! Now!" Billy yells, shoving Dt. Stone out the door
As soon as Stone is gone I break down in tears.
"Ali, Sweetie, I'm so sorry. Are you ok?" Billy asks rushing to my side
"Claudia, get me Claudia?" I ask with tears streaming down my face
"You don't want Emily?" he asks
"No. I don't want her to worry." I say through my sobs
The next day
"So Ali, have you remembered anything else?" Emily asks as she lie next to me in bed, stroking my blonde hair
I close my eyes and think back to that night. All the terrifying images from the wreck come flooding back. I hold back my tears and try and I think of what happened before that. Its still so fuzzy.
"I can remember Hanna screaming 'Ali! Look out!' but I still don't remember why I lost control of the wheel." I reply with my eyes still closed
"Thats ok Alison. You've been through a lot. You'll remember when your ready." Aria says with her eyes fixed on Hanna
"She's gonna wake up. I know she will." Noel tries to convice us
"Ever since I moved to Rosewood it was me, Hanna, Alison, Emily, Spencer, and Caleb as best friends. Five girls and one guy, all best friends. Now Caleb's gone and Noel's here. Don't you'll think she'll be kinda pissed and think we're trying to replace Caleb with Noel?" Aria asks
"I think whether or not she wakes up is her choice. If she chooses to wake I think it'll be because she wants to live. If she chooses to live she knows that Noel is here I mean she can hear him. Yeah she might feel that way at first but she'll see that we could never try and replace Caleb." Spencer says
"Spencer?" Aria asks turning to face her former girlfriend, "Do you still love me?" she asks
"Why?" Spencer asks
"Because you can barely stand to look at me and whenever you actually talk to me its always in refrence to someone else. Never us." Aria replies
"Aria you really hurt me, but your my best friend so I forgive you. But I can never feel the same way about you. Do you still love me?" Spencer asks
"I think the reason I slept with Carson was because I wanted away out that would hurt me less. I loved you, but I wasn't in love with you. I was in love with Hanna. To some people the only difference is a word thats completely irrelevant. To me that one word, 'in' means everything. Its not enough to love someone. You have to be in love with them for it to work. I love you, but I'm not in love with you." her ex replies
"Good. Now nothing can hold us back from what we really want in life."
"And exactly would that be?" Aria asks
"My parents are so career driven its like nothing else matters. Thats why they were so good at what they did. I don't wanna be exactly like that but I think some of that will be what gets me through law school. I wanna be a lawyer and the best damn lawyer at that. I'm done letting a relationship with a girl who doesn't love me enough, hold me back." Spencer answers
"I want do something good. I never done a single good deed in my life. I don't know what I'm gonna do yet, but I'm gonna start by enrolling in UCLA. I'm gonna get a college degree and make something of myself." Noel says
"Hanna always said that she was gonna make her name known in the fashion industry and I said I was gona help her. When she wakes up and makes the full recovery that I know she will, I'm gonna hold her to that. She said everyone would know the name 'Hanna Marin-Rivers' but since Caleb is gona she might feel a little differently. I'm gonna make sure she doesn't give up on her dream. Its sorta become my dream now too." I say
"I just want her to wake up. Thats all I carw about right now. She's my best friend." Aria says
"Aria stop being so morbid. Your ruining the moment for the rest of us." Emily sighs
"Ok well what do you want?" I ask
"Oh I know exactly what I want." She smiles
"And that is?" we all ask
"I want to keep my promise. My promise to one day marry you." She says with a smile even bigger
"I now pronounce you wife and well wife, you may kiss the bride!" Noel mocks us
"Shut up Noel!" Emily laughs and then actually kisses me.
She puts on had on my cheek and the other on the back of my head and kisses me passionately. After about ten seconds she pulls away slowly, lays her head down on the pillow and begins twirling my by long, blonde locks with her fingers.
"I got girl but I lost my baby. Its 1-1 right now Hanna Marin. I need you to wake up so the good things can trump the bad." I say to myself
"You still don't remember what happened?" Noel asks
I take a deep breathe and close eyes and just, think.
"I'm in love with Aria." Hanna says changing the subject
"Ok." I say allowing her to continue
"But even though she's in love with me too she still loves Spencer."
"All true."
"I kissed Spencer but not Aria. It doesn't make sense."
"Maybe you did it because you miss Caleb and want him back but at the same time you want Aria. You thought that by kissing someone else, her girlfriend, she'd want Spencer more and you less and you wouldn't have to feel bad about moving on so quickily." I suggest
"But thats what Caleb would want. He'd want me to be happy and if Aria would make me happy why would I want to push her away and closer to someone else?" Hanna asks
"Because even though you know he'd want you to be happy you don't want to be happy right now. You wanna be sad and thats ok. You don't have to move on right away but when you do, you should move on to someone you actually love." I reply
"But I can't let the first person I date after Caleb be Aria. It would never work." she argues
"Then how about finding yourself a rebound when your ready and then move on to the girl you love." I suggest
"Hmm. Thats not a bad idea. Maybe you should take your own advice!" Hanna laughs
"What do you mean?" I ask
"Have your baby, if you don't think you'll love them enough, give them up for adoption, then find a rebound before you start a serious relationship, then get your girl back." she explains
"And just who is gonna be my rebound?" I ask curiously
"I'm thinking since we're both bisexual we find some smoking hot twins, guy and girl. You get the guy because you dated a girl last and I get the girl becuase I dated the guy last." she suggest, almost as if she's thought of this plan before
"Hanna as awesome as that sounds it would be pretty hard to find those twins your talking about but two guys now thats a different story." I laugh
For the first time since Caleb's death, even though it was just a couple hours ago, we both start laughing, uncontrolably in fact. We're laughing so hard I lose control of the car.
"Ali look out!" Hanna shouts but its too late. My car slams into the side of a semi and before we know it everything goes black.
"Oh my gosh. I remember." I gasp and my eyes fly open
"What? What happened?" Emily asks letting my hair fall out of her hand
"She was asking why she kissed Spencer, Aria's girlfriend if she was in love with Aria. We talked about why it might have happened. Then I told her she needed a rebound. She told me that if I gave my baby up that I should get one too. We we're talking about finding some hot twins to go out with and then we just start laughing like crazy. I guess I was laughing so hard I lost control of the car and next thing I know we're crashing into a semi." I explain
"See, it was just an accident." Emily says
"I knew it was just an accident, but I was still the one driving."
3 days later
"Alright Ali, everything looks good. you get to start physical theraphy today." Billy informs me after revieing my chart
"Really? How long will that take?" I ask excitedly
"Evert patient is different. Once your physical therapist gets to work with you a few days, he can give you a better estimate." Billy explains
"But I get our of here soon?"
"Thats the hope."
"Hey Billy, do you really think Hanna is gonna wake up?" I ask
"Hanna is a fighter. She can beat this. She's also stubborn. She won't give the time she has left with Caleb until she absloutely has to." Billy answers
"Guess we'll have to wait still she lets up on the stubbornness then."
"Guess so."
Ali lived a will make a full recovery, but what will happen to Hanna? Will Hanna live or will she die? If Hanna dies will Ali go to prison? The next chapter will be from Hanna's POV and we get to see what goes on through her head as she lies in a coma. We've got three more chapther then an epilogue. How will the story end? Until next my loves. ~Stay Wierd
