She held onto his hand as tight as she could, she never wanted to let go, she never wanted him to think she ever left his side. She smoothed out his usually perfect hair with her other hand, letting her hand lower to his face, gently caressing his soft cheek.

"I love you so much." She whispered, she jumped back a little when tears ran down his cheeks, shaking her head and shouting for someone to come, surely this would mean he was awake? He was okay...

She looked up as the doctor ran in, going on and on about eye moisture building up but Sonny knew, she knew that he was crying, he was there. She knew that he was going to be okay, he had to be. He promised and Chad Dylan Cooper never broke a promise.

She clung onto his hand as hard as she could, she wouldn't let anyone take her away from him, she didn't care about her own health, it was all about him – just like he always wanted it to be.

Tears ran down her pale face as she bit down on her lower lip, she didn't want to breakdown in front of him, he would laugh at her and tell her to stop being stupid, that he was going to be okay.

She didn't look up again when someone walked in, she couldn't be bothered. She watched them as they checked the tubes that surrounded the boy she loved more than life itself. She shook her head again, tears fell heavily down her face and landed onto his hand, she hated this, she hated him being weak. She hated waiting for him to wake up, waiting for the day those machines went off and never came back on. Waiting for something, especially when it could be something bad, was too hard.

She stared at his face, smoothing his hair down gently as she smiled a watery smile at him, her eyes filled with nothing but love as she looked at him and thought about how much she loved him – and always had if she thought about it – she thought about how much they had to look forward do, how amazing he had been over the past few months. How amazing everything had been.

"Please wake up." She whispered, not able to stop any tears from falling from her eyes once more,

"Please." She murmured as she put her head on his arm and closed her eyes,

"Please."
