Chapter 10: Comatose
Lexi woke up the next morning while she was still holding Alex's hand. She was still shaken of the incident that nearly killed her Prince. She couldn't get the images out of her head from the wrecked Dodge Challenger to her last kiss with Alex before the accident. She looked down at Alex with tearful eyes while holding his free hand.
Lexi: please wake up, baby
Then Finn, Seth, Bayley and Sasha walked in
Sasha: hey Lexi, how is he?
Lexi: he's not responding...yet
Finn: he'll pull through, all of us were praying last night
Lexi: I prayed as well
Then Lexi felt a grip from her lover's free hand
Lexi: Alex?
The grip tightened more as tears fell from Lexi's eyes
Finn: lad?
Seth: I'll go get Dr. Jesse
Seth rushed out of the room to get the doctor. Then slowly, Alex opened his eyes
Lexi: Alex! Baby, you're awake!
Then Dr. Jesse rushed in
Dr. Jesse: what happened?
Bayley: he just opened his eyes all of a sudden
Dr. Jesse: Alex, if you're awake, follow the light
Dr. Jesse shined a flashlight over Alex's eyes and moved it around for him to follow, but Alex's eyes just stayed in one spot.
Lexi: doctor, what's happening?
Dr. Jesse: he's not responding to the light. Let me try something else, Alex, if you can hear me or anyone else in this room, blink.
Alex didn't respond, and this made Lexi scared a bit
Lexi: what's wrong with him?
Dr. Jesse: he's not responding to me
Lexi: here, let me try. Alex, it's me Lexi, your girlfriend and there's Finn, Seth, Sasha and Bayley your best friends.
Once again, Alex didn't respond. Then things went from bad to worse as Alex's eyes slowly closed.
Lexi: Alex? Alex?!
Seth: doc, what's happening to our friend?
Dr. Jesse: it seems the head trauma caused by the car crash has Alex collapsed into a coma
Hearing this made everyone disappointed and upset especially Lexi
Sasha: is there a chance he'll wake up again?
Dr. Jesse: that depends on how much trauma Alex suffered. Wait here, I'll be back with the trauma reports
Dr. Jesse left the room
Finn: this is just bad, he just won his title back and now this
Lexi: Finn, none of us knew this will happen to him
Sasha: I'll call Shane and Hunter to let them know what happened
Sasha stepped out of the room to make the call
Lexi: I promised that I'll fix him, and now this I don't think I can...
Finn: lass, you did fixed him
Seth: you fixed his broken heart after he broke up with his ex. You were by his side when he was injured, and Alex knows that he has a caring and sweet girlfriend.
Lexi: and he has awesome best friends
They came in for a group hug and then Dr. Jesse came back with the reports
Dr. Jesse: I've got the reports with me
Lexi: so how long will Alex be in his coma?
Dr. Jesse: Alex suffered some minor head trauma and his skull is still intact, so he'll be in coma for at least 3 weeks with the max at 1 month.
Finn: that's okay, now we know our friend will wake up again
Dr. Jesse: just a fair warning for all of you. If Alex wakes up don't overwhelm him, let him examine his surroundings
Seth: will do, doc
Dr. Jesse: alright, I'll leave you to him
Lexi: you hear that, baby? You'll wake up soon
Then Sasha came back
Bayley: so what did Shane and Hunter say?
Sasha: they said we can take as much time off as we need, so we can be with Alex until he wakes up
Lexi: you hear that, my Prince? We will be with you until you wake up
(1 month later)
The group were relaxing in Alex's room hoping that their best friend wakes up. Lexi was scrolling through her phone until she heard a faint groan from Alex.
Lexi: Alex?
Finn: what's wrong?
Lexi: nothing, I just heard a groan
Then Alex gave another groan, but this time it was a bit louder. Then things started to look up as the Pinoy Prince slowly moved his free hand and his head. This made everyone ecstatic.
Seth: come on dude, wake up
Bayley: I'll go get Dr. Jesse
Lexi was looking at Alex with a suspenseful worried look on her face, but it turned into a happy grin as she saw her lover opened his eyes.
Lexi: Alex?
Then Dr. Jesse rushed in
Dr. Jesse: he's awake?
Sasha: he's moving too
Dr. Jesse: okay, Alex follow the light
Alex's eyes followed the light from left to right which cause some excitement from the group
Dr. Jesse: he's responding, that's good
Then miraculously Alex finally spoke
Alex: Lexi...
Lexi: yes baby?
Alex: you're still my Princess Shorty
Lexi blushed heavily, but she was overwhelmed with happiness as her Prince is finally awake.
Dr. Jesse: alright, Alex I can remove this IV tube from your mouth now, but you still need to stay, so you can recover from your other injuries
Alex: I understand, but I'll be okay
Dr. Jesse: alright, if you excuse me I have a meeting to attend to
Dr. Jesse left the room
Finn: I think it's best we leave these two alone don't you think?
Bayley, Sasha and Seth agreed
Sasha: we'll leave you two lovebirds alone
The group left the room leaving Alex and Lexi to themselves
Lexi: you know, I was scared
Alex: scared of what, baby?
Lexi: that you were gonna leave me
Alex: I've been though the worst, remember? My career threatening knee injury
Lexi: yeah, but this is a car crash
Alex: baby, no matter if it's a knee injury or a car crash, you should know I always keep fighting
He said as he cupped Lexi's cheek with his free hand
Lexi: well now that tube is out of your mouth, you know what that means...
She said with a flirtatious voice while biting her lower lip
Alex: oh I know what that means, come here
Lexi leaned in and passionately kissed Alex on the lips. She pulled back while she blushed
Alex: I may be hurt physically, but I think the pain is gone
Lexi: my kisses are your medicine
Alex: just don't give me an overdose
Lexi: I hate you
She said with her cute, grumpy face
Alex: I love you too
