I
Want You In The Most Unromantic Ways
(Alternate Sequel to Thanks For
Nothing)
Chapter Sixty♥
We spent the whole night in the hospital.
Vic left to get the two of us McDonald's since Kimi
wasn't hungry.
I refused to release Dakota's hand and Kimi and I made
small talk about what's been
going on the past couple of weeks.
"So you guys are back together?" she asked
curiously.
I chuckled and nodded.
"Is it that obvious?"
She smiled warmly and we both jumped when Vic entered the
room.
He tossed a bag of food at me and sat down and opened his.
"I would've been back sooner but Mike called," he
spoke up.
I nodded and took a sip of my soda he had gotten me.
We all turned around then when the nurse walked in.
"I- uh.. I have the results from your friend's
MRI," she told us.
I immediately put down my soda and she walked to the foot of
Dee's bed and sat down.
"The good news is there is no brain damage."
I let out a deep breath in relief.
"The bad news is she's still in a coma and we're
never sure exactly when the patient will wake up. Only time
will tell," she finished.
I nodded, already expecting that to be said.
In the meantime you can try and talk to her and just go on as
normally as possible.
We all nodded and the nurse left.
My gaze turned back to Dakota and I sighed, my shoulders
slumping forward.
Kimi reached across the bed and laid her hand on the hand that
was holding Dee's.
"She's a trooper, she'll be okay," she
assured me with a smile.
I tried to smile back the best I could.
I leaned forward and kissed her cheek, "I love you
Kota."
For the first time the whole night, I laid her hand down and
ate my food.
My eyes didn't leave her face once.
----
"Tony! Tony, wake up!" someone shouted.
My eyes popped open and I jumped up from my chair.
"What?!" I cried out.
I looked over to see Vic staring at me smiling.
"Dakota moved," he told me.
My breath caught in my throat and I looked over to where she
was.
Her nose twitched a little bit and then her fingers moved.
I picked up her hand and sat at the edge of her bed.
"Kota?" I whispered.
I squeezed her hand a bit but nothing happened.
I sighed and just as I got up, I felt her squeeze back.
It was subtle, but I knew it happened.
"Vic?" I asked.
"Yeah, are you okay?"
"She squeezed my hand," I told him.
I turned around with a huge grin on my face.
That moment gave me a little bit of hope.
----
A week went by with no other signs of Dakota waking up.
I spent every waking minute at the hospital.
Kimi was released and I told her she could go back home and get
some rest.
She finally agreed and Vic drove her.
I leaned back in my chair in frustration, deciding I could
close my
eyes for just a few minutes.
I heard some rustling in the room so I opened my eyes back up
and groaned.
I saw Dakota's eyelids flutter and her hand clench into a
fist.
"Dee?"
A/N:
So I really hate when I talk to someone and then all these
people jump in
and my friend and I are being rude to each other as a joke and
I'm made out
to be the bad guy here
Lol, I'm so done.
