Chapter 47

Dedicated to my baby Allcapsperson

Sam's P.O.V.

I don't know what to do, he said she is still in life danger... How should I feel about this? I mean surgery went just fine how the hell is she still in life danger????

"What are you doing here?" Someone asked me and I looked up at Zoe.

"Huh?"

"Shouldn't you be in there" she asked with smile and pointed at room where they were about to put Dušica.

"Me?" I asked, honestly shocked.

"Yes, you of course. Now go!" she said and I smiled.

I got up and hugged her "thank you" I whispered and went in the room.

I sat at the chair next to the bed waiting for people to bring her in. It passed few moments and she still wasn't here. I got up and started packing back and forth.

Door finally opened and they brought her in. My back were facing them and I refused to turn until there is only the two of us.

"Just 5 minutes Miss" someone said "not a minute more" I nodded and they left.

I took a deep breath and turned around. What I saw made my whole body shiver. Her whole body was covered in scratches, snitches and almost half of her body in bandages.

"Oh baby" I mumbled and walked towards her sitting on the chair.

I gently took her hand, scared not to hurt her. It still was soft even after everything. I placed gentle kiss on her knuckles.

"You have no idea how much you scared me. Please, baby, I know how strong you are and I know you can get over it. I will be here when you open your eyes and I'll tell you to fuck off again so you could laugh, just please don't leave me. I promise I will do my best to keep you happy, I'll become better, just don't leave me. You can fight this, we will fight this together okay? I expect you to open your eyes tomorrow and start with that cheesy comments of yours, which I love with my whole heart." I was talking slowly not noticing tears running down my face.

Door opened again and doctor walked in.

"Ms. Sam, it's time for you to leave" he said and I nodded.

As much as I wanted to just stay here with her until she wake up, I know I can't and it would be the best for her if I just leave so she can rest.

I leaned forward and kissed her forehead.

"You are strong baby. You've got this" I whispered and walked away.

Just when I was on doorway I turned around to look at her again. Once out of room I just found Zoe and Nikola standing in front of glass window that looked in Dušica's room. Nikola had his arm around her shoulder and her head was on his chest.

"Where is everybody?" I asked and they looked at me.

"We sent them home" Nikola said and Zoe added "No need for them to stay, they'll just torture themselves." and then she turned towards me "You should leave as well, go home, rest"

"No" I said and shook my head "No, I'm not leaving now" she looked at Nikola who looked at me with smile.

"Something told me you would say that" he said and walked towards the table in the corner "so I bought you this" he said and gave me coffee, cookies and croissant.

I smiled and nodded.

"Thank you" I said and took it from him.

It was late at night and we were sitting in our chairs. We talked a little, Nikola was really interested to know more about me and it at least made me a little happy. We also talked about our time in France and stuff like that, they really wanted to hear my opinion of their daughter and I loved to talk about her.

Soon, two of them fell asleep. I couldn't let myself close my eyes, I didn't want same thing to happen again so when I'd feel like sleeping I'd just get up and walk a little, maybe go to grab a coffee downstairs but that's it. And all over again. It's 4am right now and I'm standing in front of a window looking at her. Her body is so fragile, she looks so helpless. I sighed and leaned on the wall.

I just want her to wake up and everything to be okay. Doctor said there is a big possibility she could lose her hearing, and she could even have vision problems. But whatever happen, I'll be there for her. I know she will hate it, and I know she will think she is just a burden for me, and she'll try to push me away but that is not happening.

Thank god she can't suffer amnesia. I swear if that happened I'd freak out. Imagine looking at love of your life and they don't even recognize you.

"Come on baby, wake up"

***

Twenty four hours my ass! It's been three days! Three freaking days or seventy two hours if you want it like that! I don't know what's going on. I've been sitting here basically for all this time and doctor doesn't know what's going on! Can you imagine that?

For first 24 hours, which he said woulf be crucial for Dušica everything was okay, she didn't have any problem. People came and go and she didn't wake up. Zoe and Nikola were inside with her. Her grandparents came and were here but they left now. My parents, Mia and El were here as well but I kinda didn't pay attention on them.

Right now doctor was inside the room, checking on her. He walked out and came to us.

"Do you know what's wrong?" I asked and he sighed.

"It pains me to say but no." He said and I put my hands in the air turning around.

"You are one of the best doctors in this freaking world what do you mean you don't Know?" uh uh Nikola was pissed.

"I don't understand." doctor said "her state is normal, her body is functioning totally fine. She should have been awoken by now, there's no reason for her to still be asleep. I really don't know, it's just like" he stopped for second "like something's keeping her inside" what the hell is he talking about???

He left and Nikola sighed, he sat back down and I stood back in front of the mirror, my place for this three days. Zoe stood next to me and turned me around. She looked at my face closely.

"You should go home" she said and I just shook my head.

"She is my home" I said simply and she sighed.

"Sam, you need to rest, you have been here for past three days, you didn't eat anything, you barley drank, and you didn't even speak much. Go home, take a bath, a nap, change and come back. Do you really want her to see you like that when she wakes up, she'll blame herself for your pain, you know how she is. If something happens I'll call you" she said and I groaned.

"You promise?" I asked and she nodded.

"Come on, Willy will take you home, paparazzi are everywhere" she said and I looked at her confused.

"Reporters are here?" I asked and she sighed before nodding.

"Everywhere" she said.

I know I look like shit, I have bags under my eyes, I can barely walk, I feel exhausted. Willy took me by the elbow and helped me outside.

Once we walked out of the hospital flashes of all the cameras blinded me and I almost passed out but Willy was there to catch me.

They were asking question after question and I just wanted to rip their heads off. Looks like Willy knew exactly what I was thinking about so he smirked and he finally opened the door for me. I jumped inside and he walked around, sitting on driver seat.

"We are going at your place right?" he asked and I shook my head.

"Her's" I said simply and he nodded in understanding.

Zoe said to go home so that's what I'm doing. Going home. But it is not home without her to wait me there... I sighed and looked outside.

My head was leaned on the window, sun is already down and I seriously don't know how to feel anymore.

We were soon to come home, I climbed out of a car and stumbled towards the door. When I was in I noticed everyone was gathered in the living room watching news which were talking about Dušica's accident and her state. When they saw me they immediately turned off the TV.

"How are you?" Natasha asked and I shrugged.

"I'm just going to take a shower and pack some of her stuff" I informed.

"Don't bother we can do it" she said and I shook my head.

"No need, thanks" I said and went upstairs.

Once inside of the room her smell hit me. I sat down on bed and caressed her side of bed. I sighed and fell backwards. Now, I got chance to look myself at the mirror on the ceiling. God, I look awful. I closed my eyes not wanting to look at myself anymore.

***

"Fuck" I groaned immediately when I woke up.

How could I fall asleep. Damn Sam! I grabbed my phone just to see if I have missed call from Zoe but nothing, which made me sign. At least I only slept for fifteen minutes.

I dragged myself to the bathroom and stripped down. I tried to relax while hot water was running down my body but no use. Nothing can relax me now. Soon I was done, so I dried my body and hair, brushed my teeth and walked out.

I took one of Dušica's sport bags and decided to pack some of her clothes. After doing so, I took one of her hoodies put it on and sweatpants. I buried my head in hoodie and inhaled deeply.

I took bag and walked downstairs ready to leave. But before I could Natasha and Willy came in front of me.

"We made you something to eat" Natasha said, you could see in her eyes that she really did care.

"I can't now" I said weakly and she shook her head.

"Yes you can and you will" she said and grabbed my hand dragging me to the dinning room, I was way too weak and tired to fight back so I just let her.

She literally sat me down like some kid and other girls brought food in front of me. I tried to eat a little, just to not be rude, at least I could eat soup. Willy took a bag from me and put it in the car.

After few more minutes if eating I thanked them and stood up. They were trying to make me eat more which almost made me smile.

"Please, keep us updated" one of the girls said and I nodded.

***

We were back in the hospital, thankfully no paparazzi were there. Just when Willy and I walked into the lobby someone called my name from behind. Thinking it was just another reporter I ignored it and kept walking.

"Sam, wait!" That voice sounds familiar, I turned around just to see Sarah running towards me.

"Sarah!" seriously I have never been this happy to see girl, beside Dušica.

She came closer to me and I just hugged her. She hugged me back and sighed.

"Poor baby" she whispered and I just wanted to cry.

"What are you doing here?" I asked when I pulled away. "I mean how did you find out?"

"It's all over the news" she said and sighed "I took a first flight and here I am, I thought you might need support" she said and I nodded.

"Follow me" and we started walking towards her room.

"How do you feel?" she asked gently and I just shrugged again.

"Hey, Sam, you came back quickly" Zoe said and I didn't even notice we were already in front of the room.

"Uh, I uh, didn't need much time" I mumbled and she frowned "It's okay, Sam, I understand" she said with little smile. "Who is this girl?" She asked and I opened my mouth to say something but then looked at Sarah because I had no idea what to say.

She smiled and stuck her hand out for Zoe to shake it.

"Sarah, friend of Dušica's and Sam's" she said and Zoe nodded.

It seriously was nice to have Sarah here, she has been through something like this, maybe she wasn't going through this waiting stuff but she even lost love of her life and I can't and don't even want to imagine how that must feel.

"Sam, you can see her if you want" Nikola said and I stood up immediately, I just glanced at Sarah who nodded.

I took a deep breath before walking in the room. Here she is, still looking fragile as before. I sat down, took her hand in mine.

"Hey baby" I said "I miss you. I miss you so much. It's been three days and here I am, devastated. I'd do anything, and I mean anything to be in your place. Please wake up, angel, I need you. "

Dušica's P.O.V.

God, where the hell am I? There is so much light, everything is white. Can't someone turn off the fucking light?! I put my hand over my eyes and suddenly I am in... A tunnel? I looked around and behind me everything is black but in front there is light. Okay, am I losing my mind where the hell am I?

"Highway to hell huh?" I mumbled to myself.

"You've always been good at comparing, sis"

That voice. Alex! I turned around looking for her and I saw shadow in the end of the tunnel. Without thinking I run towards her and I needed maybe two minutes running to come to her. When I saw her I froze for a second and then she smiled.

"God, how much I missed that smile" I mumbled before smiling myself and running into her arms.

"Hey monkey" she said hugging me tightly. "I missed you so so much" she mumbled kissing the top of my head rapidly.

I just snugged closer to her, taking in her smell, and every single moment.

"Come with me" she said and pulled away, taking my hand leading me somewhere.

"Where are we?" I asked while looking around just seeing nature and nothing more.

"On safe" she said.

Everything was beautiful here though. We sat on the grass under the big tree and she smiled sadly.

"What's going on?" I asked. I know this is not real, it can't be, unfortunately.

"My little monkey is dying" she said and looked away.

"If you told me that few months ago I probably wouldn't care" I said and sighed "but now"

"But now you have Sam" she finished with nod and punched my arm again and again while talking "who is sitting next to your bed and crying her eyes out by the way!" she said angrily.

"Wait, you know about Sam?" I asked and massaged place where she punched me, and she rolled her eyes.

"Of course I know silly, what do you think who made you two meet each other at first place?"

"What?"

"Long story, let's just say her guardian angel is a good friend of mine" she said and I looked at her dumbfounded.

"So you are saying the two of you set us up?!"

"Well not exactly, we just made it simple for you two to meet before anyone knew who you really are so you could see she truly love you because of the person you are. That's all we did, everything else was simply your wish" she said and I laughed.

"It sounds like something you'd do"

"She's a good girl, baby, make sure you are taking good care of her" she said and I nodded.

"That's something you shouldn't worry about" I informed and she smiled.

"Also, Sarah is there as well"

"Where?"

"In the hospital" she sighed "would you please tell her that I love her with all my heart and I want her to be happy so she should move on, find someone who will make her happy." She asked and I nodded, I hated seeing her in pain and right now she was in so much pain "and please baby be nice towards her, maybe she can't really replace me but she could definitely be sister figure in your life" she said with smile.

"I know, and I really like her, you have good taste monkey" I said and she laughed.

"Of course I do"

"But how do you know she is there?"

"Baby, I see everything" she said and I gasped.

"E-everything?" I asked and she rolled her eyes.

"Don't worry, I didn't watch you and Sam have sex"

"Alexandra!" I whined and threw little stone on her which made her laugh.

"I really missed you" she said and I smiled.

"I missed you too big sis"

"But it's time for you to go" she said and got up.

"What? I just came here" I protested and she shook her head.

She put her hands on my cheeks gently.

"You've been here for three days baby" she said slowly "time here flies by. It's kind weird" she mumbled more for herself.

"I want to stay more, I need to stay more and be with you"

"I want that too sis, but we can't. Not like this, if you stay any more, you could die and I am not letting that happen. It's not your time now, not anytime soon" she said and I groaned. "Come on, don't be selfish, Sam is dying out there. Go and be with the love of your life" just when she said that I realized how much I missed Sam, how much I needed her.

"Okay" I whispered and she smiled.

She kissed my forehead gently and pulled away.

"Go" she said "I love you, little monkey"

"I love you too, Alex" I said and everything slowly disappeared.

I opened my eyes slowly just to be meet with light. I blinked few times and saw Sam sitting next to me, holding my hand and looking at it. I smiled and groaned at how strong lights in this room are.

She looked at my direction immediately and she opened her mouth but I couldn't hear anything.

A/N: Well, well well... Here you go, like I promised.
