Breaking Down Walls.

It’s now three days since Ivy’s been in a coma the doctors and nurses are going to try and take her out of it today, hopefully it will work. I haven’t left much since she’s been here I’ve left a few times to go take a shower or to get some food I’ve been staying overnight a lot just in case anything changed but it hasn’t that’s why they need to bring her out of her coma, her body is ready to wake up but she isn’t. Something is stopping her, they are going to try everything they can, they’ve told me to talk to her and see if I can get her to wake up but I’ve been sat here for two hours and I can’t bring myself to say anything, I can’t talk to my sister when she’s like this. I know they guys will be here in about an hour it’s become a routine they would come here about 1pm and bring me clean clothes whilst I was gone they would talk to Ivy, maybe when they got here they could try and convince her to wake up. But for now it’s only me, she needs to wake up I want to talk to her, I can’t think what my life is going to be like without her, I guess that could be a good thing? That might mean she’s going to wake up, but then again I never thought of a life without my parents but a year later I am sat her facing another loss, which hopefully it won’t be but there is a chance. I need to try everything I can to get her just to open her eyes, even if it’s just for her to say she needs to go, I don’t want her to die without me being able to hug her. I don’t think she would leave me if she wakes up there is every possibility of it happening though, she doesn’t trust me, part of me doesn’t believe she thinks of me as her brother more like a friend that she only knows because of other people but I will change that no matter how long it takes, I want to be her brother and I’m am willing to change everything.
“Ivy, you can wake up now just open our eyes, I know you are ready to do this I want it to be on your terms I want you to wake up when you feel the time is right. I believe that time is now, I will beg for you just to open your eyes, I want a chance to prove to you that I can be your best friend, I can be your brother and if you don’t then I won’t ever get that chance, without you here I won’t be the same guy. Please just wake up now, please the guys want to see you. They want to talk to you so bad they want you to know that they love you not matter what you’ve done to yourself, you might be scared that we will shout at you but we won’t because we understand now. You need to fill us in so we can help you. I don’t know what else to say darling, just wake up please.”
I know that isn’t enough to wake her up but I take her hand anyway just to see if she will hold it back, but still there is nothing I look at the clock seeing it’s 12:55pm meaning the guys will show up any minute I take my hand to face to wipe away the tears although everyday they know I’ve been crying I don’t want them to see it. They are trying to be strong for me but I know they could break down about it too. I’m not used to this at all, I’m not used to making speeches to someone that isn’t even awake. I just need to get out of here I can’t stand seeing Ivy so lifeless. On time the guys all show up handing me a bag of clothes so I can go find some where to change and get some food.
I can’t help but think, today’s the day when she finally might wake up, but then the bad thoughts take over bringing me back to reality I know that I might not happen either.

Rian and Jack leave the room, like they’ve been doing for the past three days so I can have some time with just me and Ivy they know how much I feel for Ivy but they also think that she might wake up for me, I highly doubt it they always give me ten minutes with her then they will come back and join me for the rest of the time. Zack doesn’t know how I feel about his sister I know that the time isn’t right for me to tell him, he’s going to be even more protective of her than he normally is, I know that in my head me and Ivy can’t be together for a while but I hope she can feel the same way about me.
“Hey Ivy, its Alex I think you would know that but just in case you didn’t. I’ve just become more awkward in 3 days, it’s hard to talk to someone who can’t reply why can’t you just wake up already? You’d probably want to punch me and take me out of my awkward phase, I really hope you do. I think it’s about time you do wake up or you will have to hear me go on and on about stupid stuff that you don’t even care about” I take hold of Ivy’s hand “I guess it’s time to be a bit more serious now isn’t it? Ivy I really need you to wake up and tell me what you think, if you feel the same way or if you don’t I’m going insane I can’t think about anything else but you waking up to put me back in my place, honestly please wake up please”
I feel a slight tug at my hand I look over to Ivy’s face her eyes are still tightly shut but I can feel her hand starting to wrap around my own, shit. Is this her waking up? I shouldn’t be the first one to see her it would break Zacks heart to know he wasn’t here, I find my phone and dial Zacks number.
“Zack get back to Ivy’s room now I think she’s waking up”
He cuts the line, I watch her hand closely as she grips it tighter
“It’s okay Ivy, you can wake up I’m here and Zack is on his way back. It’s fine you can open your eyes.”
I see Zack running in.
“Are you fucking with me Gaskarth?”
“Why would I mess with you about something like this, look!”
I flash my eyes towards my hand, so he can see that she’s moved her fingers.
Zack walks to the other side of the bed, and follows my action slowly picking up her hand she does the same as she did to me, a little bit quicker this time Zack uses is other hand to press the nurse bell. I think she knows she can now wake up I look up at her face to see her eyes moving. This is it. My heart races.

I keep hearing people telling me to wake up, but my head tells me not to It’s your time Ivy, die you wanted to so do it.
But I can’t keep listening to my head, this is what’s put me here in the first place I hear Zack telling me that he wants to be a better brother to me, and that no one will shout at me about any of this. I try to move my body but it doesn’t work. I feel him let go of my hand I hear people shuffling about then I hear a familiar voice, I know its Alex I would know that voice anywhere. I listen to him talk still trying to move my body it’s when he takes my hand I start to move, after trying to do this for a while. It works I can feel his hand, I start taking hold of it tighter just to make sure I’m not thinking it. I hear him talking but it’s not to me this time, it’s to Zack tell him to come to my room. I hear him telling me that I can wake up now, and that it’s fine. But I still can’t open my eyes it’s like there is glue on them, what if I can’t ever open them? I don’t even know where I am, I hear a faint beeping and then my hands gets picked up again this time by Zack I know that I can really wake up now, I’m ready to. I start to slowly open my eyes but again they don’t open why is this so hard?
“Ivy just try again, you can open them I promise you’re ready”
This time I don’t recognize the voice, I need to know who it belongs to, I have no idea how long I tried to open my eyes but finally after what feels like years, I start seeing people. I see Zack stood above me tears running down his cheeks then I see a woman who takes my arm are presses her two fingers to my wrist.
“Hello there Ivy, I’m your doctor you’ve been in a coma for three days it’s nice to finally meet you, you’re a very lucky girl if your friend didn’t bring you here when he did you would’ve been gone but clearly someone up there is watching you. Welcome back I’ll let your friends talk to you for a while then I will be back to run some tests”
I take in everything she says, I’m lucky to be alive? Why can’t I remember what I did? I get taken out my thoughts by a weight being thrown at my chest, I look down to see Zack’s body laid on mine I put my arms around him, i’ve been needing this hug for a while.
It’s now three days since Ivy’s been in a coma the doctors and nurses are going to try and take her out of it today, hopefully it will work. I haven’t left much since she’s been here I’ve left a few times to go take a shower or to get some food I’ve been staying overnight a lot just in case anything changed but it hasn’t that’s why they need to bring her out of her coma, her body is ready to wake up but she isn’t.
