Jess' POV: 

"It's been a week Ross." I paced the hallway of the hospital. "I've got to get back to school, I have assignments, exams are coming up." 

"Then we'll just go home." he shrugged. How could he be so calm?

"I can't leave her!" I yelled, now biting my nails. "I know you don't want to but you have a life. You have school to worry about now." 

Is he serious? "What about her life? What if something happens to her when we're gone?" 

"Riker and your mom will be here for her and if anything happens we'll come back, okay?" I gave a small nod, "Okay." 

"Where is she?"

I looked at Sofia's mom, running towards me. "She's in there." I pointed to her room. Without another word, she went inside. 

"Where was she all week?" Ross scoffed. 

"In Florida." I sighed, "To think she only think cares about her now." "Then why is she here?" he gritted his teeth. 

"Her daughter is in a coma Ross and her other 2 children have died. To lose ll her children Ross, would be terrible. I can't imagine what she's going through." 

He sighed, "I guess you're right." 

I took his hands, "Are you sure you don't wanna see her. Atleast before we leave?" He shook his head, "The last time I saw her she was smiling and I don't wanna-" he sniffled, "I just don't wanna lose that image of her." 

Riker's POV:

"How did she get herself in this mess?" Sof's mom mumbled. 

"She..was on the road and got hit by a car." I said, holding Sof's hand. "Why was she in the road? Why is she always so careless now look where it's gotten her." 

I shook my head, "She was running...running away from me."

"So this is your fault. Great. And who are you suppose to be?" "I'm um..her boyfriend, Riker Lynch." 

"From that ridiculous band she was obsessed with? I know I recognized that face outside." she folded her arms. "Why was she running from you anyway?" she raised an eyebrow.

"I don't feel comfortable answering all these questions." I replied, walking towards the door. 

She grabbed my wrist, "She's in here because of you. Now as her so called boyfriend, tell me why she ran."

"June, you should probably go now." Jess came to my rescue. 

"You have no right to speak to me like this. I always knew you were a bad influence of her." Sof's mom sneered. "Oh, like you were any influence to her at all."

June lunged at Jess but Ross and I held her back. 

"M'am, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave." Sof's doctor appeared at the door. She got away from Ross and I and marched out the door without another word.

"So doctor, any signs of improvement?" Jess asked.

He checked the machine thing, whatever the hell it's called, near Sofia's bed and shook his head. 

I sighed. 

"Now. That doesn't mean anything bad. It could just mean that she's gonna give a response a little while later." he tried to comfort us.

"What if she isn't responsive in a month or even a year?" I asked. 

He didn't reply and looked at his clipboard. "Answer me!" I yelled. He jumped back, "We'd, have to- have to pull her plug." 

"What!" Jess exclaimed, "You'd be killing her. You can't do that!" 

"It's the hospital's regulation. We can't keep her on life support forever. So if I were you, I'd be praying and hoping that she wakes before that happens." and with that he left. 

"Don't worry she'll awake. She's strong, it's Sofia." I told them and patted Ross' shoulder. 

Wait.

"Ross?" I looked at him as he stared at Sofia. 

He didn't reply. "Ross, I thought you didn't want to see her?" Jess asked. He still didn't reply. "We'll be outside." I whispered and Jess and I walked outside. 

As I made it to the door I heard a sniffle. 

Ross' POV: 

I hadn't realised when I fully stepped inside the room. 

It was probably when I stopped Sof's mom from attacking Jess. When Sof's doctor came inside I just looked at Sofia and that was it. 

I hadn't moved my eyes from her. 

The others were talking but I couldn't hear a thing they were saying. 

I felt like it was just me watching a still, pale Sofia. And it hurts so much. That's why I didn't wanna come inside here. 

I know I wouldn't be able to keep my composure. 

I wiped the tears streaming down my face and walked to the side of her bed. She looked so peaceful and it was a somewhat nice sight to see that in a way she was in peace. 

I held her hand and quickly moved my hand. 

It was cold, I could barely feel any warmth. I cried harder and knelt down, holding her hand. "Please don't go Sofia. You were..you were my first love." 

I then felt a slight squeeze on my hand.
