Chapter Eighteen
The munchkin boy helped Elphaba to her feet. Elphaba, trying to snap out of her trance said, "Tell my roommate, Glinda Upland, to meet me at the hospital as soon as possible, please."
The boy nodded and Elphaba left, trying to make it to the hospital as quickly as she could. Everything happened rather fast, and before she knew it she was in the hospital entrance, trying to find out about her boyfriend's condition. She went to the front desk, "I'm looking for Fiyero Tiggular."
The nurse at the desk replied, "Are you family?"
"I'm his girlfriend. I just need to know-"
"I'm sorry, but I can't release any information to non-family members."
Elphaba's heart dropped, "Did you alert his parents?"
She sighed, "As far as I know, they were in the Emerald City and are on their way. You are welcome to wait over there." She said, pointing to a chair. Elphaba, still in shock, sat down. She didn't know how much time had passed when Glinda sat down beside her,
"Elphie, what happened?" she said, gently hugging her friend.
"There…there was so much blood, and I didn't know what to do." She said, tears filling her eyes. "I went over to apologize, and he was…"
Glinda hugged her friend tightly, "He's going to be alright, Elphaba." Using her first name. "Everything will be fine." She said as Elphaba continued to cry into Glinda's embrace. The girls waited through the night, Glinda falling asleep soon after Elphaba's tears subsided. Elphaba however, remained wide-awake, only seeing flashbacks of Fiyero's pale, bruised, caramel face as she tried to wake him.
She stayed awake for hours and snapped out of her haze when she recognized the two adults come through the door- Fiyero's parents. They looked at her and ran to her, Leto saying, "What happened?"
Elphaba replied, "I don't know. I found him…" she said, her tears coming back, and Glinda woke to fill them in. Leto stayed with the girls as Kali went to find her son. When she disappeared behind double doors, Elphaba longed for Fiyero. She felt like she couldn't breathe without knowing that he was all right. She tried to keep it together, only letting silent tears fall from her brown eyes, almost clutching her necklace.
Kali came back out several minutes later with a pale complexion, "They took him into surgery and he survived, but he hasn't woken up yet. They…they don't know when he will."
Elphaba's heart sank. Kali looked at the young woman, "Would you like to see him, Elphaba?"
Elphaba simply nodded and Kali, along with Leto and Glinda took Elphaba to Fiyero's room. The staff was instructed to give Elphaba access to Fiyero whether she was family or not. Kali and Leto decided to let Elphaba be the first to see their son, and waited outside while she entered the room.
Fiyero was laying on a bed, his eyes closed, his face bruised, and a large covering over his abdomen. He was shirtless, and Elphaba noticed that he had a pattern of blue diamonds tattooed on his chest, swirling around his heart. She held his hand and touched her necklace as she sat beside him, and said, "Yero, you can't leave me now." She sniffled, "I love you so much Yero. I can't live without you." She closed her eyes, squeezing tears out of her eyes, "If you die, I will die. You can't do this to me, please. I would do anything for you to be all right."
Fiyero, much to Elphaba's dismay, did not react.
Leto and kali came in a few minutes later and comforted the sobbing girl, praying that their son would come back to them.
