The sound of the hospital beeping gets louder as I squeeze Kayla’s hand harder, my eyes never once leaving hers.

"Kayla, baby. Wake up, beautiful."

I heard the machines beeping faster and louder, and I knew the nurses were coming in to check on her.

I gave her one last squeeze before I stood up and moved away from her bedside, letting them do their job.

I ran my hands through my short brown hair before I leaned against the wall and brought my knees up to my chest.

I was exhausted.

I hadn’t slept in three days, and I could feel it starting to catch up with me.

I laid my head against the wall, hoping that if I closed my eyes for just a minute they wouldn’t think I was sleeping and kick me out.

Just as I was about to drift off to sleep, I heard the machines start to slow down.

I opened one eye and saw that the nurse was writing on Kayla’s chart.

I then looked over at Kayla and saw that she was slowly starting to open her eyes.

My head shot up against the wall as I waited for her to fully wake up.

It took a few minutes, but then she finally opened her eyes and looked around the room.

When she finally locked eyes with me, a smile spread across her face as she tried to talk.

I rushed to Kayla's side, my heart pounding with relief. Her eyes fluttered, trying to focus on me.

"Shh," I whispered, gently placing my hands on her cheeks. "God, you're going to be okay, baby."

Her lips trembled as she attempted to speak, but I shook my head softly, urging her to rest.

The nurse adjusted the IV drip and nodded at me reassuringly before leaving us alone.

I stayed close, feeling the warmth of her skin against my palms. Kayla's fingers weakly curled around mine, and I squeezed back, promising silently that I'd protect her from any harm.

As I gazed into her eyes, I noticed the faintest hint of confusion, like she was trying to remember something.

I leaned in closer, my ear inches from her lips. "What is it, baby?" I whispered.

Kayla's eyes darted around the room, taking in the beeping machines and sterile hospital smell.

Her gaze settled back on me, and she mouthed a single word: "How..."

I hesitated, unsure how much to reveal. But something in her eyes told me she needed to know.

"You've been in a coma for a few days," I said softly. "You were hurt pretty badly."

Kayla's eyes widened, and she tried to sit up, but I gently restrained her. "No, no, baby. You need to rest."

I watched as Kayla's eyes clouded, her gaze drifting away from mine.

Her hand tightened around mine, and I could feel her pulse racing.

I gently squeezed her hand, drawing her attention back to me.

"Hey, baby, look at me," I said softly, maintaining eye contact to reassure her.

I continued, "It's all alright, we're fine, you're fine, you're safe."

My voice remained calm and steady, aiming to soothe her rising anxiety.

The machines beeping around us seemed to grow louder, but I kept my focus on Kayla's face.

Her breathing slowed, her grip on my hand loosening slightly.

I kept holding her hand, providing a constant reminder of my presence and protection.

The hospital room seemed to fade into the background as I locked eyes with Kayla.

The fluorescent lights above hummed softly, casting an eerie glow over the scene.

Kayla's eyes searched mine, as if seeking answers to the questions swirling in her mind.

I could see the fear lingering in their depths, the uncertainty of what had happened.

But I held firm, my gaze a steady anchor in the turbulent sea of her emotions.

Suddenly, Kayla's eyes snapped wide open, and she sat up with a jolt.

The machines around us erupted into a cacophony of beeps and alarms.

I felt a surge of adrenaline as I tried to restrain her, but she shook me off.

"What happened?" she demanded, her voice hoarse from disuse.

"Kayla, please, calm down," I urged, trying to steady her.

She looked at me with a mix of fear and determination. "No, tell me everything—why was I in a coma?"

I took a deep breath, knowing this moment would change everything. "You were in an accident, Kayla," I said gently.
