True Love – Chapter Four; I've missed them

All I can see is that fragile, broken girl on the hospital bed. I don't want to, I want my Rikki back. My Rikki, Not this girl who's been left like this from some reckless driver. I want the funny, lively Rikki back. Not this silent girl. She's so pale, and deathly cold. I smile weakly, but the smile disappears as soon as I look at her, then I sigh,

"They've all given up on you..But I haven't..I know you are strong Rikki..Come on, You can prove them wrong. I know you can. Prove them all wrong Rikki. Come on.." I wonder if you can hear me..Oh Rikki..I sigh again.

Zane! Zane Is that you Zane! Zane!! He's holding my hand. He's holding my hand! I can feel him, He's there, My Zane is there! I can feel him! I try and wave my arms about, I shout out to him! Zane! Zane, Can you hear me! I'm here!

I can see her eyelids flickering about. She's scrunching her hands into a fist slowly, and back out again. I immediately grab her other hand,

"Rikki, It's okay, I'm here. I'm here for you, Always."

She moans, I can tell she's in pain. She scrunches her hand into a fist again. There are silent tears falling from behind closed eyes. She grips my hand tighter, her hands are really cold. Her face is finally getting some colour back. She moans again, and her eyelids flicker once more. All of the colour disappears from her face. Then suddenly, all the monitors that have been hooked up to her start going haywire, beeping and beeping. I sprint into the corridor.

"HELP! SOMEBODY!! HELP! "

A doctor comes round the corner, and another quickly follows.

"She's in PEA," One of them shouts.

"Give her 100 of Adrenalin!"

I just back away into the corner, and watch, my own heart thumping in my chest.

"Nope. She's gone into CA!"

"Let's shock her! Ruth, get the pads" A small built brown haired woman went into one of the cupboard under the heart monitor and brought out some orange silicone pads, she undid Rikki's hospital gown, and laid the pads on her chest.

"Ok. All clear, and shocking 500..Clear"

"Resuming Cardiac massage" The woman said, and started doing CPR on Rikki's chest.

Then all of a sudden, the beeping starting again. I look at the clock, all of this had happened in under 5 minutes. My girlfriend had just been on the brink of death, and I had witnessed it all. A pager went off in the Doctors pocket, and he and the younger woman ran out of the door, and down the corridor. I went up to her bedside, and noticed that the pair left in such a rush, Rikki's hospital gown was still half done up, I reached down, and done it back up again. I brought the covers back up to how they were before the..Attack.. I tried not to notice that she now had 2 rectangular burn marks on her chest.

Then, Her eyes started flickering again, and her hands scrunched into a ball once more. I held her hand again, and then some more silent tears flowed from her closed eyes.

And then I saw them; Her beautiful blue eyes.

I've missed them.
