Georgie awoke the next morning in Dillon's arms. The two had fallen asleep
the night before while watching an old movie and Georgie was pleased to
that she had had a dreamless sleep.
After a few minutes, Dillon began to stir. 'I could definitely get used to waking up like this,' he thought. 'I just wish it were under better circumstances.'
The circumstances certainly weren't great. In just a few minutes, Georgie and Dillon would be walking through the elevator doors and into room 321.
They both got out of his bed silently and Georgie stepped into Kristina's room to change. She couldn't speak for fear of crying and he knew to let her talk first.
After a few minutes, they both met downstairs. Georgie refused food simply by shaking her head to Ned and soon, Dillon and Georgie were both sitting in the car. Dillon still hadn't spoken a word to her since they got up and Georgie was grateful for that. Though he didn't converse with her, she knew that he would be right by her side when she needed him.
**When I'm bits & pieces When minutes are forever You're always right behind me Making my world better**
As Georgie opened the door to her mother's room, she stopped abruptly. For the first time that morning, she spoke. "I can't do this Dillon. I can't talk to her and know that she's not going to talk back. I can't go in that room knowing that she may never wake up!" tears were streaming down her face again.
"You can do this, Georgie. So what if she doesn't talk back? That doesn't mean she can't hear you. And it doesn't matter if you're in the same room with her or not. You can be at my house and still know that she may never wake up. It's the same reality wherever you are."
Just as easily as she had made excuses not to enter the hospital room, he knocked them down. She knew he was right. Seeing her mother was something she had to do. Taking a deep breath, she opened the door again, but this time.she stepped through it.
**Nothing can break me up Nothing can tear me down Nothing can hurt me at all As long as you're around
When I'm torn apart When nothing gets better I turn to you, you keep me together It's just beautifully plain That I'll always do the same
Back then, right now, forever**
Georgie just looked at him and he immediately took her hand and followed her in. She couldn't do this alone and she was happy that he could read her so easily. She let out the breath she had been holding as he closed the door behind them. As she gave Dillon one last glance for reassurance, she began to speak. "Mom? Mom, it's Georgie. I don't know if you can hear me or not but I just want you to know that I love you."
Dillon squeezed her hand for reassurance as she went on. "You have to wake up. I need you. There's still so much I need you to teach me. Please just keep fighting.for me. Please. I'm not giving up hope," She pleaded barely above a whisper.
**You know me in everyway Understand the way I feel We'll be there for each other No one's heart is made of steel
I'll always be there Just like you are for me Our love is so strong That we'll never be in over our heads**
She let go of Dillon's hand and slowly walked over to Felicia. She planted one kiss on her cheek and then turned towards the door. She couldn't stay in there much longer. She needed to go somewhere and cry. She hated crying, but it was the only way she could get her emotions out lately.
**When I'm torn apart When nothing gets better I turn to you, you keep me together It's just beautifully plain That I'll always do the same Back then, right now, forever**
Several minutes later, Dillon and Georgie were sitting on the couch in the gatehouse. Georgie had cried silently all the way home and Dillon never let go of her hand.
After she regained her composure, she turned her head to him. "Thanks-for everything. I couldn't have gone through with that without you. I know I didn't say much, but I wouldn't have been able to walk through the hospital doors without you," she whispered.
"She's going to be alright ya know," he told her.
"I'm starting to believe it now. Thanks Dillon." She repeated.
"your welcome," he whispered into her ear as she rested her head on his shoulder.
**You keep me together Make everything better We're both so sure that Love like this lasts forever**
A/N: Hi guys! I know it's been a really long time, but school's been keeping me really busy lately and I've been sick so I haven't been in the mood to write. I hope to have Chapter 8 up soon and I promise to try!
