Eddie Kaspbrak - Don't let go (sequel to YSM)

Part 13

We arrived at the hospital and straight away they took him in for surgery, which I had to wait outside for

I started to pace the room, biting my nails anxiously

"Y/n?' I turned around to see Barbara there, she was the one who got me into nursing when I still lived here

"Oh wow, hey." I smiled

"What are you doing back in town?" She asked

"Just visiting friends- is he going to be okay?" I asked

She put her hand on my shoulder

"Edward Kaspbrak..." She said reading his file "Wow I remember you 2 running around in here all the time." She laughed "What happened?"

"H-he fell on some sharp spike." I said

She nodded "If he's anything like he was when he was young he's a fighter."

I nodded

"So did he finally propose?" she asked

I frowned "Sorry?"

"Well the last time I saw him, he told me he was going to find you and propose to you. This was like 20 years ago now, but he was determined to find you." She said

My heart dropped, he didn't give up on me at all

"No he didn't..." I mumbled

"Well for a guy to want to still propose to someone he hasn't seen for 5 years then he must really love you. Besides here you are, both brought together again." She said

"Y/n!" I saw Bill run over "Any news?" he asked

"He's just in surgery." Barbara said

He nodded and looked at me "Are you okay?"

I nodded "D-did you know he was going to propose to me? 20 years ago."

He frowned "No I didn't."

I sighed "I-if I stayed..."

"Hey its okay. You're here now. We all are."

I nodded "Okay."

"I'll leave you to it." Barbara said and left us both in the waiting room

A while later –

I sighed "What the hell is happening in there?" I asked, pacing around

"Hey I'm sure it's okay, it's a good sign they haven't come out yet."

"How? Bill how is that a good sign? What if something has gone wrong? What if hes nt okay? What if-" I got cut off when a doctor came out

"Urm you here for Edward Kaspbrak?"

"Yes! Is he okay?" I asked and rushed over

He nodded "He's stable, but he's lost a lot of blood. We managed to patch up the wound, but I'm afraid his body went through so much he's gone into a coma. We can't say how long it will be until he's awake." He asked

"But he will at some point right? In a few days?" I asked

The doctor looked at me then Bill

"Right?"

"Erm y/n, I think w-what hes saying i-is... H-he may never wake up."

My heart dropped

"I'm sorry but you have it wrong, you see that guy in there he has to wake up. He just has to! He owes it to me. he can't be that god damn selfish ad leave me like this!"
"Hey calm down-"
