Chapter 4- not without a fight
It was three hours until they where allowed inside Fiyero's room again. All four of them opened the door slowly to see Dr. Monens writing something down in a binder. He walked up to Fiyero's father and looked at him "You have one lucky kid" he said and walked out of the room without a reply. Elphaba was the first to walk over to Fiyero's bed to find that he was awake.
"Hey" Fiyero said to her faintly smiling she put her hand on his face
"How are you feeling?" she asked in a caring tone, he chuckled a bit
"I've had better days" he turned to look at Glinda "Hey Glin did you get me what I asked for?" he asked her she nodded and reached into her purse and pulled out a mocha iced coffee
"Here you go!" she said cheerfully. Fiyero could barley lift his arms up to reach the cup but was happy he did when he took a sip of it.
"Yero, I don't think you should drink that!" Elphaba said grabbing the cup from his hand
"Hey if he's going to be in a hospital might as well" Glinda said laughing Fiyero smirked as Elphaba shook her head at him.
"You need to rest." She said brushing her fingers threw his hair. He coughed and smiled barley and closed his eyes to sleep. Two hours later Elphaba looked into Fiyero's open eyes and sighed
"Come on Yero you have to rest" she pleaded him but he shook his head
"It hurts too much… I-I can't" he winced in pain. She sat on the side of his bed as he rested his head on her lap. She stroked his face with the back of her hand and tried to not cry
"I know but you have to try, you are never going to get better if you don't" she looked into his blue eyes. And looked around to the sleeping Glinda- Fiyero's parents had to leave for the night to do some business back in Vinkus. Just then Dr. Monens came in to the room quietly.
"Is Fiyero awake?" he whispered. Elphaba shook her head
"He says he is in too much pain tight now" she said looking down at Fiyero's head resting on her lap. Dr. Monens helped Fiyero to a sitting position and gave him some more pain medication
"I doubt it will help but its better then nothing" he sighed and looked back to Elphaba "You should get some sleep too you're not going to be much help to him if you are overtired" He got a call on his Walkie-talkie and had to leave. Fiyero looked into Elphaba's chocolate eyes and smiled he sank back into his hospital bed
"Please go to sleep, just because I can't doesn't mean you shouldn't" Elphaba looked to Glinda who was sleeping soundly on the couch next to her. Elphaba looked at Fiyero and sighed
"But what if something happens?" Fiyero groaned and smirked at her
"It's not like you are going far" Elphaba kissed him lightly and went back to the couch and looked at the clock- 11:53pm she sighed and fell asleep. Elphaba woke up and looked around the room and Glinda was gone it was only 7:14am she must have had a meeting Elphaba thought to her self. She looked over to Fiyero's bed and to her surprise he was awake. She went up to him and held his hand
"Did you get any sleep last night?" she asked hoping the answer would be yes.
"No." he looked away not wanting to her angry reaction. But she wasn't mad at all more disappointed. He looked back towards her when she put her hand in his sand colored hair
"Oh Yero…" she sighed when she looked into his deep blue eyes. Then she got an idea she looked at the pile of books next to her on the ground. She rummaged threw them and picked up a large old book- the grimmerie. She picked it up and quickly turned the pages. Fiyero looked on from his bed and realized what she was doing and reached his hand out to hold hers
"Elphaba don't." Tears started to come out of Elphaba's eyes as Fiyero continued "You don't know what could happen"
"But Fiyero you can't even sleep!" she pleaded letting go of his hand. Fiyero shook his head and sighed
"Elphaba don't do this, this is what got us trouble in the first place" Elphaba started to sob even more. Fiyero widened his eyes realizing what he just said and tried to cover it up "No, Elphaba I didn't mean it like that!" tried to say but she didn't listen
"It's true it's all my fault! How can you even stand to look at me! After all I have done to you!" Fiyero was going to say something but Elphaba darted out of the room. He sighed and let his head fall back on to the pillow, he didn't have the strength to chase after her and she knew that. Why don't I think before I talk! He said to him self as he finely fell asleep.
Dr. Monens walked into the waiting room to find Elphaba sitting there crying. "Elphaba did something happen to Fiyero?" he asked in fear. Elphaba looked up at him her eyes red from her tears, she shook her head.
"No he's fine. And better without me" she tried to put on a brave face and wiped the tears from her eyes "He is in pain because of me"
"Elphaba I don't know if that is true or not all I know is that Fiyero needs you now more than ever. He will never admit it but he is terrified" Elphaba couldn't control her sobbing anymore and berried her face in her hands.
"Please, don't let him die. Please" her voice got covered by her crying. Dr. Monens put his hand on her shoulder
"We are doing everything we can, I won't let him go down without a fight" he told her in a reassuring voice. Elphaba nodded but didn't look into his eyes "you should go back up to him when you are ready, I'm sure he will appreciate it" Dr. Monens was exiting the waiting room when he was stopped by a new intern
"Why is she crying?" he asked curiously
"Poor kid only 19, got beaten and left to die, and we don't know if he is going to pull through" Dr. Monens answered
"Oh…" was all the intern could answer before Dr. Monens left to sad to tell anymore
Elphaba walked into Fiyero's hospital room. She realized he was asleep and took a sigh of relief. She never actually looked at him, he had an IV sticking out of his arm and something around his finger to check his temperature and heart beat. He had bruises and cuts everywhere. His right leg he broke in three places was wrapped in a cast where the other that had stitches was wrapped with bandages. Fiyero's left had that he broke was in a cast, his right wrist was in a soft cast. His shirt was off and his chest was wrapped up tightly because of his four broken ribs, and the bandages went around his dislocated shoulder. He had a bandage around his head where he had stitches, and his head was sweaty from the times he was in pain. All and all he was a wreck. Just then his mother came into the room. "Is Fiyero asleep?" she asked Elphaba nodded
"Yes he didn't sleep all last night." She sighed and sat down on the couch next to the bed. Fiyero woke up and winced in pain and groaned a little. Elphaba held his hand as he looked into her eyes.
"Elphaba I-" he stopped in pain as he tried to sit up, he sank back down into the bed, his breathing heavy like he had to work to breathe "Elphaba I didn't… I don't think… didn't mean… and I… I just…wasn't thinking… I mean I never think before… I didn't mean it-" Elphaba cut him off as she softly kissed him. She ran her fingers threw his matted hair.
"Shhh its ok, now go back to sleep, ill be here when you wake up" Fiyero nodded, he didn't need to be told twice.
"Ok, I love you" He quickly fell back asleep not even noticing his mother was even there. She looked to Elphaba who's eyes where fixed on Fiyero.
"Now you listen to me, 'Elphaba' I don't trust you, I don't like you. You think that you can just forget what happened in the past, no it doesn't work like that. My son is in this hospital because of you. You really are a wicked witch. Why would my son ever leave 'Glinda the good' for a whore like you. You disgust me." Elphaba was not expecting that at all. She didn't know how to react without yelling
"I am NOT wicked! And he is not in here because of me! How could you even say something like that you bitch! Why can't you just accept he loves me?" she yelled standing up.
"You aren't wicked? HA! You are the wicked witch of the west and that is all you will ever be nothing other then a wicked green thing! You aren't even human you don't have a soul! And he doesn't love you and he never will!" this made Elphaba start to tear how could she say that she didn't have a soul? But she quickly wiped away her tears and yelled back
"You are the wicked one! Trying to blame others for your problems! And he loves me more then-" she was cut off when she heard Fiyero cough
"Why are you yelling?" he asked quietly
"Oh nothing we just where just talking over the loud speaker tone. Fiyero didn't have time before Dr. Monens came in. " his mother answered giving Elphaba a dirty look. Fiyero tightened up and had a worried look in his Blue eyes
"What's wrong?" Elphaba asked in a worried voice.
"Nothing just can you get Dr. Monens?" he asked in a week voice. Elphaba looked at his mother as if to say go get him! she nodded and walked out of the room. Elphaba held Fiyero's hand
"Yero what's the matter?" she asked in a calming
"Fiyero are you ok? Why do you need me" Dr. Monens asked obviously frazzled and confused.
"I- I can't feel my legs"
