Norman's pov

"Can I see her?" I gulped feeling completely hopeless.

"yea, she's right this way." He said.

i nodded and followed him down the hall into the ICU unit. I took a deep breath as he stopped us infront of a door. He turned to me one last time,

"this is hers"

i nodded and thanked him as he walked away. I was instantly extremely nervous as I looked at the door. I took a deep breath and turned the handle and opened the door. I was welcomed with the beeping of monitors. I walked slowly into the room and began to shake as the bed came into view. She was pale as a ghost, bruised from head to toe. She had tubes going in her mouth and she was hooked up to about 10 different monitors. I choked on my tears as the anger flew over me. I punched the nearest wall as tears slid down my face. I looked back to her and slowly walked to the side of her bed. Her chest was rising and falling slowly. I leaned over her and kissed her forehead. I squeezed my eyes shut as I felt how cold her skin was. The warm feeling that her skin once brought me was now ice. I wiped my tears as I exited and walked slowly back to the waiting room. Exhaustion and utter heart break filled my body. I felt like a walker off the show. When I entered the room everyone surrounded me.

"she alright?" Chandler asked urgently.

i shook my head,"I don't know"

"can we see her?" Robert asked.

i didn't make eye contact with anyone and just nodded. Everyone moved around me and walked towards her room. Everyone except sean. He waited till the others disappeared inside until he asked,

"what did the doctor say?"

i fought every tear that threatened to spill,"her body is feeding itself so she's not getting enough nutrients for her and the baby. If she doesn't wake up by the end of the week, they have to terminate the pregnancy."

"shit" he cursed.

we stayed out of the room until everyone came out. I avoided all eye contact as they all said their goodbyes and to keep them informed. I nodded and watched as they all left. Sean exhaled deeply and said,

"guess it's my turn"

i nodded and we both walked into the room. I heard his breathing hitch when he first layed eyes on her. I just starred blankly at him as he walked to her bedside. I watched his expression as he grabbed her hand and felt how cold it was. I heard him take a big gulp and his eyes met mine. I saw they had turned glassy as he fought back tears. He forced a smile on his face as he looked back down at her,

"c'mon girl. You can get through this"

i smiled and pulled up a chair by her bed and gripped onto her cold, pale hand. Sean pulled one up next to me and placed a hand on my shoulder. I turned and he smiled,

"I ain't goin no where"

i nodded and then a knock came at the door. We both looked towards it as a nurse entered. Her eyes widened when she lay eyes on us. He mouth dropped. I sighed,i really didn't have time for his right now.

"Can we help you?" Sean asked annoyed.

"yea...ummm. Sorry...her family is here" she stuttered.

my heart and began to pound and I started to shake. The young nurse smiled and left. Sean and I made eye contact as the nervous feeling in my stomach grew.
