An: Sorry it took SOOOO long to post. Hope you like it.
More to come soon.
Ned awoke feeling very confused. He was leaning against a tree trunk, and it all came back to him.
The party, the waiting, the hospital... He slowly stood up and looked at his call phone. 9 missed calls.
3 from his mother, 4 from his father, and 2 from Mr. Drew. "Sheesh!" He thought, "I've been out for almost 2 hours.
Everyone's probably had a heart attack by now."
"Ned! Ned, where are you son?" He heard his name being called many times. He guessed that they had been looking for him for some while now.
After his mind cleared somewhat he answered, " Over here! I'm right here!" His dad ran over to him and hugged him. "We were so worried Ned! Don't ever do that
again! Carson called the house, but I couldn't understand him that well. He said something about Nancy's condition worsening"
"I have to go to the hospital right now! Please dad!?! I need to see Nancy!" "Ned, there aren't any visiting hours until the morning. You'll just have to wait.
I'm sorry."
The Next Day
Ned sat beside Nancy's bed. He just came from Jane's room. She was being released to the police today. After he said goodbye, he then slowly and painfully walked to Nan's room. He caressed he bruised face, and held her limp hand.
All he wanted was for her to be awake, to laugh, smile, and be... be Nan. He wanted the joy she brought to everybody, but he knew that he would probably never see it again. "Stop thinking that!" His heart finally objected to his thoughts. "She is just in a coma. She has a good chance. Don't give up!" He told himself. He leaned towards Nancy's head and whispered in her ear, "Nancy I don't know if you can hear me but I need you to hang on.
I know I'm being selfish when I say that I need you, I couldn't live without you, and if you...left... I don't know what I'd do, but I know that I'd miss you.
I love you Nancy, and I always will. Please wake up for me, baby."
