Thanks to everyone who beta read. Thanks to Renee for letting me vent. I think this is a record. I did the first 4 chapters of this all yesterday, and hopefully I'll get the last 3 done today. It's 6/13, and I started writing yesterday. I'm sorry, I'm proud of myself for getting this done so fast. Lots of love
"Mr. And Mrs. Corinthos," Brittany Moon called out breathlessly. She knew she'd find them outside of Elizabeth's room. Brenda had her hand on Elizabeth's doorknob.
"Please, call me Sonny," Sonny laced his fingers with Brenda's and forced himself to flash his dimples.
"Sonny… I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we are beginning to fear that Elizabeth may never wake up," Brenda gripped Sonny's shoulder for support. Jax and Ric quickly went and helped hold her up. Sonny shook his head, and the doctor left. Jax slowly helped Brenda into Liz's room, and he was dismissed with a wave of Brenda's hand.
"Honey, listen to me. Can you hear me, Elizabeth? I need you to wake up. I need to open your eyes. I'm scared, Lizzie. I'm so terrified. I can't stop shaking, and I can't breathe. You flat lined last night. The hospital called, and my heart stopped beating. God, you can't give up. You can't leave me. You can't leave me, or your father. Or any of us. We all need you to much, Elizabeth. Oh, god. My baby," Brenda gripped Elizabeth's hand as she sobbed uncontrollably. Brenda's body shook violently. Courtney watched threw the glass, and her heart broke more with each of Brenda's pain filled sobs. She wanted to go in, and help Brenda. But she knew. She knew that Brenda needed this. She needed to cry, and prepare herself for the worse. Just in case. They all did.
Jason hid in the shadow of the chapel. He had seen Brenda break down, but he had no idea what the doctor had said. He had followed Sonny into the chapel. He leaned against in the wall in the darkest corner. Candle light flickered across Sonny's face. Tears ran freely down Sonny's cheeks.
"God, I've asked for so much. I've come to you millions of times asking you to save my family. Praying that you don't make them pay for my sins. I'm the one that has gone against you. Not Courtney, Brenda, and not my daughter. Elizabeth knows right from wrong. Sure, she's made mistakes. We all have. She's a good kid, and she deserves to live her life. Take me. Place me in that bed. Hook me up to all the machines. Make my heart stop beating. Just let her live. Let her paint, and laugh. Let her smile light up the entire room. Let her eyes shine brightly when she's truly happy. Let her find the truth, and trust in us all. She's trusted you her entire life. Don't let her down. Take me! Put me in her place! Punish me for my sins! I'm the one that you want!" Sonny paused, as he struggled to breathe.
"Please, God, Please. Save my daughter. Save Elizabeth,"
I'm sorry that was so short! I know, I know. Bad, Sam, Bad. But the chapters before this were long, right? So, I'm entitled to a short chapter or two. I don't know how long the next 2 (and last 2) chapters will be. Lots of Love!
