The Wait
EPOV
It was two days since I had bought her here and they had put her in a medically induced coma. It was quite a pain watching her lie in front of me, motionless. If it was in my hands then I would just have woken her up this very moment and confessed my love to her. But the thought of how easily she can slip into the hands of death makes me shudder. Whole of my family is in New York right now. Mom insisted in coming early but I insisted that they complete their work before coming back so they would be at ease. Our tour in New York was about three and a half weeks long, after which we planned on going for a vocation. This tour mostly comprised of cd signing, interviews and other stuff, which my brothers can easily handle. Meanwhile, I was here, practically locked in this room for the past two days. I ate, slept and did all of my work here, not letting her out of my sight for even a minute. Carmen came to check her up and according to her the progress is pretty good. She is healing up fast and might wake up as soon as put of the medical coma. I was quite ecstatic hearing this until she dropped the bomb the night of the second day. Carmen was spending the night here cauz around one am my angel was supposed to be put off the medical coma. She just came out of the room and sighed.
"What is it?" I asked as my anxious self.
"She is recovering pretty well." She smiled but it looked fake and did not reach her eyes which were drowned in worry.
"Carmen, what are you hiding from me?" I asked making no effort to keep the scared tone off my voice.
"Edward, she might wake up tonight but… "She started speaking but trailed off. I was getting impatient every passing moment, there was something wrong with her and I wanted to know what it was.
"But?" I questioned in an impatient way.
"But, she might not remember anything." As she finished, it felt like a bucket of cold water had been thrown over me. I was so anxious for her waking, we knowing each other and me killing that bastard who did this but now Carmen is saying that she might not remember anything.
"But how?" I almost growled.
"Her head, Edward. Due to the injuries on her skull, her inner organs have been effected and some of the effected organs are that of memory. You should be grateful."
"Grateful how?"
"Grateful cauz the organs damaged were that of memory and not other, or else damage could have been caused. Serious, irreparable damage." I shuddered.
"So, what can we do now?"
"Nothing, Edward. I am not even sure if it will happen, but if it will then we can always get her memory back." Alright, now she was confusing me.
"How?"
"Amnesia, as we call it, could be cured." I shot her a puzzled look. She laughed and explained. "Our memory is stored in two parts of our brain. One part in the conscious part, the part which is active, and other part in the subconscious part, the inactive or the sleeping part. When we get amnesia, only the conscious part in effected, leaving the subconscious one untouched. The memories are deep buried in this one. So now all we have to do is fish them out." She said with a small smile.
"You mean there are still chances of her getting her memory back?" I asked like a child on a Christmas morning no scratch that, I was like Emmett on a Christmas morning.
"Yes, hopefully so." She muttered the last part looking at my angel.
It was around midnight that the nurses started setting up the equipments. Carmen said that when she is taken off the medical coma, she would need strength to support her body since until now it was all done through the machines. I just sat there seeing all those people running around, doing whatever they could to save one person. It just sometimes amazes me that how so many people could work so hard just to save the life of one single being. Not that I am against it, but it is just fascinating to watch. Our race has taken the idea of loving to another level. If someone would have said it before I would have just scoffed, but now I am understanding the true meaning of it. The true meaning of eternal love.
"Edward, move please." Carmen's voice bought me back to the reality. I took me a moment to realize that she was talking to me and as I did I moved out of her way and sat in a secluded corner where I could see her but at the same time not disturb anyone. I just sat there fiddling with the hem of my shirt, waiting for her to wake up. Suddenly, the wait became unbearable. Like a force tugging at my heart, making it ache. Like a sting in my eye, making my lashes wet. Lying like bait I front of my eyes, making me wanna catch. Like a girl with my soul, making me wait.
Alright, don't get so upset. In the next chapter Bella finally wakes up. I have already planned it out and will start writing it as soon as possible.
Please review and tell me how I am doing so far.
Much Love,
Bella
