-Ace-

Sabo...(Name)...

He sat next to your bed and held onto your left hand and stared at it as he losses himself in his thoughts.

He has been living with Whitebeard while Luffy has been with Shanks, they still see each other at school, but it has not been the same since you've been gone.

Sabo got well enough to go home after about two weeks, but his parents took him away.

Ace still remembers Sabo screaming at them up until his father said something to him, then he looked terrified and upset. Ace clenches his hands around yours and glares at your pale face.

They threatened him, he knows it.

And the one person who could possibly help him, is in a coma. It has been two months since you went under. Shanks is the only reason you are still on life support. Ace comes in every day for the last two months and talks to you, but you never respond, and everyone is sure you never will.

"(Name)..." He says out loud, it's only when he's alone that he shows how he is feeling. Tears build up in his eyes and silently fall down his cheeks.
"Wake up...we need you..." He says again, for the hundredth time since you've been gone. But nothing changes, your heart rate stays the same and there is no signs of life coming from you.
"I need you..." He cries silently, laying his head down next to the bed with his forehead on your hand.

It was so cold...

-Sabo-

Sabo leans back in his chair and sighs, he really hates having to study like this.

He looks around his old room, a room he ran away from, but now was stuck in it again. Everything was neat and well kept, everything was where it should be, but this isn't where he wanted to be.

He hasn't seen his brothers in over two months, and there isn't a day that goes by that he wants to run away and go back. But back to where?

You were still in a coma...

And as long as you were, his father could get you. With one order he could have you pulled off the machine that was keeping you alive and let you die.

Sabo bites his lower lip as it starts to quiver a bit.

He didn't want that...

-Luffy-

He wasn't hungry, which was unusual for this boy.

He stared at the food on his plate, his mind somewhere else. His brothers were gone. And so was the woman that took care of them.

Shanks was watching him, he could see that, but he didn't care.

He wanted you to make him something, wanted you to play with them again, wanted you to show up and take them home like when you first meet them.

But you couldn't, and you probably never would.

He started to cry again, hearing the red haired man sigh as he gets up and walks over to the boy. He starts sobbing as he gets picked up and held.

He wants to go home...

"(Naaameeeeee)!" He cried as the man pats his back, trying to sooth him. But it wouldn't work, he would, just like every other time, cry himself to sleep.

-Kid-

He looks down at the broken form of a human being in front of him.

Law

Ever since you went into a coma Kid's temper would flare, and Law ended up being on the receiving end of his anger. But Law didn't care, Kid knew this. The pain from Kid's torture wasn't as bad as the waiting, waiting for you to either wake up or die.

Both of them hated the waiting, but they had no choice.

And so they wait...

For you.

-(Name)-

You knew you were asleep.

Everything in your dream was perfect, down to the very last detail. That was a red flag to you when you first 'woke up' in the hospital.

Law was fine.

The kids were okay.

Sabo was awake.

It was perfect.

But that's when you knew it was a lie.

You sat in the park with the boys on the playground. They weren't your boys. But they looked so much like them, the acted so much like them.

But it wasn't them.

You took a deep breath and sighed as you close your eyes while leaning your head back. You needed to wake up, because something had to be going on in the real world, but you couldn't.

This world felt so real.

This world felt to safe.

You wasn't a monster here.

And you didn't want to leave...

Your eyes snapped open and you let out a low growl. That's why you couldn't leave. Everything was perfect. You didn't have to hurt anymore, you could pretend it was all okay.

They need you...

The voice rang out through the playground, almost getting drowned out by the children laughing. You bit your bottom lip, it didn't hurt. This made you want to cry, but you couldn't.

Luffy...

You watched the hyper rubber boy jump around on the jungle gym, reminded of when you first took him here. You smiled at the memory, but then frowned at the image in front of you. That little hyper boy followed you around like a little duckling ever since he got kidnapped.

He's probably scared without you...

The voice whispered, being carried in the artificial wind. Your frown deepened at the thought of the boy being upset. You want to help him.

Suddenly the Luffy in front of you falls and lands on his head, sitting up he starts crying for you. You get up to go to him when the wind speaks again.

It's not him...

The voice practically begged you to ignore the illusion in front of you. Luffy reached out his arms to you when you started walking over to him. Your heart started to beat faster, he wasn't really there. You needed to fight the illusion, but his crying made your heart break.

They need you...the real them.

The voice reminded you, giving you the strength to turn from the illusion and walk away.

At first the boy screams louder, but then suddenly it's gone. Startled by the sudden silence you turn and see all the children were gone. All the parents were gone.

Your perfect world shattered, the moment you accepted the truth.

Wake up... they need me!

The voice was louder now. You took a deep breath and started walking.

You needed to go home! You needed to wake up!

They needed you!
