Emile: "Ok... First of all, is my family alive?"
The doctor looked at me with sympathy in his eyes.
Lucas: "I'm sorry for your loss..."
I looked at him not knowing what to say. I didn't know what to think. All I could feel was unbearable pain. It was as if someone took a knife and was taking out my heart piece by piece. The pain was so much that I forgot how to breathe. I couldn't hear the doctor it was as if he was miles away. The only thing that I could hear was the car crash and the tires screeching. That's when everything came crashing down. The sadness because I lost my family, my mom, dad, sister, brother, and twin. That's when it hurt the most, thinking of all the happy moments in my short-lived life. I don't think I can do this alone. At that moment I felt something wet on my cheeks. I didn't even notice that I started crying.
Lucas: "Look I'm sorry, I'm honestly at a loss for words. I've lost some people in my life, but I haven't even been in a coma ever or even unconscious and you were in a coma for 15 years and I've seen things worse than this and they've been able to surpass these events."
I just kept staring at him thinking that he had a point but right now I have to process this information.
Lucas: "I'll leave you alone if you want? So you can process everything."
Emile: "Um... yeah sure ok thank you... Lucas for you know telling me this stuff."
Lucas: "Ok and you're welcome. If you need anything just press this button and the nurse will come to help you and if you need me just press the same button and tell the nurse that you need me."
Emile: "Ok thanks... Hey um, Lucas can I ask you a favor?"
Lucas: "Sure of course."
Emile: "Do you think you can stay here with me and you know keep me company? Um, it's just that I don't want to be alone right now..."
As I told him this I could already feel my cheeks heating up. For a moment there I wished I wouldn't have said anything, but then he smiled towards me and my heart melted.
Lucas: "Sure thing sweetheart."
