Lillian had practically ran to the hospital after receiving the text from the doctor. Out of breath and a little sweaty, she met him at the front desk and let him lead her back to Steven's room. Up until the point where she walked into the hospital room and heard the heart monitor beeping, she had been hoping everything was all just a cruel joke. She stepped up to the hospital bed, not noticing the doctor as he stepped out and close the door behind him. Later she would realize that he was a he and not a she. At that moment she didn't see anything, but her love laying there, so still, too still, he was never this still even when he slept. Her hand shook as she reached out to brush his hair away from his forehead and her voice shook when she spoke, "S..Steven, Steven you have to wake up" She cleared her throat and let her hand drop to his shoulder, "Wake up Steven. The surgery is done and you can wake up now" She shook him a little, her hand tightening on his shoulder. "Wake up!" She started to cry, fat tears running down her face. "What were you thinking?! Why didn't you tell me!?" She raged at him, her anger sudden and explosive. She had never been this angry at Steven. She was so angry that she had to step back from the bed. She covered her face and her shoulders shook as she started to sob. Once she was able to get herself under control, she wiped her face and she stepped closer to the bed again. The doctor was right, he wasn't waking up and this wasn't a dream. After realizing this she did the thing she usually did when he was in the hospital, she crawled into bed next to him. This was usually where he would run his fingers through her hair and tell her that he was going to be okay. He would reassure her in the way only Steven could that all was right in the world. When nothing like that happened her heart broke and she sobbed against his chest. "You have to wake up, you can't leave me Steven. Don't leave me!" She sobbed out and hiccuped through her words. She buried her face against his chest, "Please Steven, come back to me" She whispered brokenly, her words muffled against his chest. She laid there and let her tears soak through his hospital gown after she got no response from him. She would fall asleep like that and awaken early when the nurse came in to check on him. |
