The soft shrill beeping of the heart monitor ripped her from her thoughts. Her thoughts of her children and how this whole thing came to be. She'd wanted a happy life, but all she received from this dreadful life was horror and heartbreak. She looked at her phone to check the date. She'd been sitting in this room for 2 weeks. Watching her lover slowly fade. She held her love's hand and kissed it.
"Wake up darling, I'm here." She spoke softly, lip quivering.
She put her face in his palm. Kissing it as she cried softly. There was a knock of the door, her head turning to the noise. The doctor at the door. He checked his clipboard before sighing.
"This doesn't look good Jessica.He has a 45% chance of waking up and if he does he has a 40% chance of not remembering a thing because of the trauma."
She broke out into tears, sobbing and leaning against his side.
"You can't leave me!"
The only noise in the room was the beeping.
"You can't do this to me. 30 years of marriage. 2 children. We were supposed to die together.
You're my light to this shitty world."
She sniffled, kicking off her shoes and crawling into the bed with him.
Her head buried itself into his neck, kissing his cool skin.
"Please. Please. Just open your eyes."
She wiped her tears.
"I need you. The kids need you. I don't want to live without you, I've done it before and it was hell." She chuckled softly as tears ran down her face.
She couldn't believe it.
"Follow my voice, come back to me."
She was again met with silence as she ran her hand through her hair.
"This is all my fault."
