Real loss only occurs when you lose something that you love more than yourself.

Chapter 5: Awakening

Edmund realized he was alone when suddenly he heard the door open again to reveal Peter.

"Look Ed, it's getting really late and dad asked if you wanted to eat something." Peter said as he put his hand on Edmund's shoulder.

"No." Edmund whispered shaking his head.

"Ed, you can starve yourself for Amelia's sake." Peter said taking Edmund's shoulders and turning his brother to face him.

"I won't I'm just not hungry." Edmund said as he looked down.

"Ed, you're taking this very hard aren't you?" Peter said as he looked to Edmund's face which had dried tear-tracks on it and Edmund's eyes which were red and puffy from crying for the biggest part of the day and tears still coming from his eyes.

"It's not your best friend that's in a coma is it Peter." Edmund said turning away from his brother and looking at Amelia again.

"She'll come out again the doctor says she has a really good chance of survival." Peter said comforting Edmund.

"But she not awake now is she? She's in a coma and a really good chance is not surviving is it Peter." Edmund said as he stood up to face his brother.

"Eddie don't be like this." Peter said not realizing his mistake.

"DON'T CALL ME EDDIE! ONLY AMELIA CAN CALL ME THAT!" Edmund yelled not caring if someone heard pushing his brother and then dropping down on his knees sobbing again.

Peter stood up silently and left Edmund alone again as Edmund tried to stand up with shaking legs to sit on the chair next to his best friend's bed.

Edmund's room (1 week later)

As Edmund tried to read the book in his hands he began crying again seeing as it was 'The Golden Compass' Amelia's favorite book.

"Edmund you know school starts again in 2 days right." George said as he entered the room.

"Yeah, so I'll have to get ready now." Edmund said through his tears.

"We know you probably want to stay close to Amelia and we want to give you a choice if you want to stay or go to school." George said while embracing his youngest son.

"Would you be mad if decided to stay?" Edmund asked looking up to his father.

"No, we understand." George said smiling at Edmund.

"Then I want to stay. When are we going to visit Am?" Edmund asked sniffing.

"We're leaving a 10 A.M." George said.

"Alright." Edmund said looking at his clock seeing it was still 1 hour until they would leave.

At the hospital (2 hours later)

The Pevensies and the Andersons entered Amelia's room and Edmund went to sit in a corner waiting for the moment everyone would leave so he would be alone with Amelia. One hour later everyone except Edmund left to get something to eat as Edmund went to claim the chair next to the bed. As he grabbed he hand he started talking to Amelia.

"Hey Am it's me Eddie, everyone left so we're alone again. I was reading 'The Golden Compass' before we came and like you said it's a really good book. I do miss you I wish you would wake up, I know I said this before but it's true." He said as he started crying once again.

At the hospital ( 5 weeks later)

As Edmund was alone with Amelia once again he was sobbing worse than he had in days as he kept seeing the conversation with the doctor again and again.

They had just entered the room where Amelia was in as the doctor entered.

"When we heard you arrived we decided to come and tell you that Amelia has been in a coma for almost 6 weeks now and after 6 weeks we have to pull the plug." the doctor said.

"NO! You can't what if she wakes up just a little after!" Edmund said as he jumped up from his seat in the corner.

"Look kid, after 6 weeks the person that's in coma either dies or goes intovegetative state which means she'll never awaken." the doctor said looking at Edmund.

"BUT SHE'S MY BEST FRIEND!" Edmund yelled.

"We know but there is no hope after 6 weeks." the doctor said as Edmund started sobbing into Frank's shirt.

That had only been one hour ago and Edmund just started talking now.

"Am, they want to pull the plug, they want to kill you. They say there's no 'hope' after 6 weeks. I don't want to lose you, please wake up. I didn't keep my promise I didn't stay with you. I just wish I had been a better friend." As he squeezed her hand even harder he felt her fingers twitch. As he looked up he saw her eyelids twitch as well and a moment later her lips moved saying: "That's impossible... for you... are the greatest... friend ever."

"Am?" Edmund asked perplex afraid this was just a dream.

"Eddie, you did exactly... as I asked... You stayed with me." Amelia said as she lifted her eyelids that felt very heavy.

"No I didn't I left you I let them take me away." Edmund said starting to cry.

"No, you did what... I asked... You're here now... aren't you?" Amelia said. "Don't cry... rather smile... your face light's up when you smile." she continued smiling weakly.

As Edmund heard this he managed his first weak smile in 6 weeks. "I should go tell the others you're awake." He said.

"Eddie stay... tell me how long … have I been out?" Amelia asked.

"Just one day short to be 6 weeks." Edmund said as he sat down again.

"What happened?" Amelia asked.

As Edmund told everything what had happened in the weeks she was out he started to feel a bit better as did Amelia. After 30 minutes of explaining Frank, George, Maria, Helen and Lucy entered seeing Amelia awake.

"Amelia!" They all yelled coming to hug her.

"Ow." Amelia said as she felt that the headache that had softened a bit worsening again.

As the parents went to tell the doctors that Amelia had awakened Edmund said : "I'm really glad you woke up."

"I know I was awake from when you began talking." Amelia said finding it easier now.

The doctors did some tests to see what damage the coma had done they discovered that she had trouble walking.

"She'll recover almost fully but she'll need help to walk the next few years." the doctor said as he left the room.

After another week Amelia could leave the hospital leaning almost fully on her best friend.

"Thanks for helping me Eddie. I don't think I could survive another day in that hospital." Amelia said.

"I'm just glad you're back on 2 feet again or should I say 4 feet?" Edmund said jokingly.

"Oh shut up I can lean on my feet now that's enough for now." She said jokingly as well.

And so started a long way of recovery for Amelia and a lot of help for the others.

So Amelia's awake! I know really quick just one chapter blah blah blah. And most of the things over coma's are real 6 weeks is the longest a person can be in a coma. I hope you guys liked this chapter!
