She watched him as he slept, at least she hoped he was just sleeping. She bit down on her lower lip as she tried to ignore the pain that was shooting through her whole body. She wanted to scream but it would only come out as a whimper, she wanted to cry out for him but she couldn't find the will to speak.
She felt warm tears running down her face, and she moved her head to put it on his chest, she smiled a little as she could feel the light rise and fall of his chest, content in knowing that he was still alive and she was still here, maybe there was hope after all.
She refused to let go of his hand, scared that if she did then it would be like she was letting go of him... letting go of life. Because that was what Chad Dylan Cooper was to her – he was her life. He was the reason she got out of bed grinning in the morning, he was the reason she went to sleep smiling at night. He was the reason the would dance around the set sometimes, and the reason she would burst out laughing for no reason just because she thought about something he had said or done the day before.
She closed her eyes, letting out a soft whimper as she thought about losing him. She wouldn't lose him like this, they had so many dreams, so many hopes. There were so many promises that they both had to keep. Promises that neither of them ever wanted to break.
There were children to come, a wedding to organize one day in the future. They were meant to be together, they had a movie coming up, they had so much going for them and then this just shot them down just when they were at their high point.
Her body shook as she carried on ignoring the excruciating pain that shot up from her leg and ran through her whole body, she felt some blood drip down from her head, and something wet was gathering on her dress but she didn't look down – she was too afraid that if she did then she would give up hope.
She winced a little in pain but she focused on him instead. She moved her head away from him and looked at everything that was wrong with him – how could this happen to them? She didn't focus on her pain, instead she watched the blood drip down from his head, running her eyes down his body, looking for any signs that he may not make it through this.
She shook at the sight of all the glass that stuck in his body, the blood finding it's way out of the wounds. She closed her eyes when she thought about how they ended up in such a mess, she found herself giving up on that hope when she felt another agonizing amount of pain run through her body, she bit down on her lip so hard until it bled.
Maybe nothing would be okay, maybe they wouldn't make it through this. Or then again, maybe this would make them stronger, perhaps they would make it through this and then one day all of this would be one distant memory.
She shook her head, trying to think of the best. How could he do this to her? What about all those promises he was going to break? How dare he even think about dying on her? She wouldn't be able to live without him, she couldn't do this.
"Wake up." She whispered, shaking him slightly, where was the help? Why wasn't anyone here?
"Wake up, don't leave me." Hot tears ran down her face, mixing in with the blood as she shook him again,
"You promised." She croaked, whispering it over and over again until her eyes closed and she welcomed the darkness – just like Chad had.
A/N: I am going away tomorrow, until the 7th of July. So if you want an update then I need about 8 rewiews or more, as I am leaving like 19 hours :)
