My Saviour

Kylie’s P.O.V (She’s still unconscious but understands what’s going on around her.)
I think Lauren just left but Ben is here with a guy. I don’t know his name though. I can hear Ben crying and I desperately want to wake up and tell him I’m going to be okay but I don’t know if I am. I heard what the nurse said; Dad basically ruined my chances of a life. I think the door just opened. I heard a woman calling my name, the voice sounded familiar, it can’t be, can it? Mum?
“Oh my baby, I’m so sorry that this happened to you. I should never have let it happen. Oh Kylie, what have I done to you?” She said. She grabbed my hand and I desperately wanted to pull away. She has no right to be here. This is not her place. The only people I want are Lauren, Ben and Imi. I tried to open my eyes but I can’t, they’re glued shut. I want to pull my hand away from the woman who ruined my life. I hate her. She could have come back before I basically died. The door of the room opened again and I heard Lauren’s voice.
“Get away from her. She doesn’t want you touching her.” Thank God. I felt the grip on my hand be released and then mum and Lauren arguing.
“My sister is dying here and you want to argue? Just get out. You left her and now she’s in a coma after being beaten within an inch of her life.” Lauren told her.
“I think it’s best if you leave.” I heard a guy’s voice. Who is he? The doctor?
“And who are you?” Yes, I get to find out who this guy is.
“I’m Harry. I found Kylie like this and I’m half the reason for it. I took her back to my house last night and now she’s here. It’s my fault but I’m going to make it up to her. I said I’d protect her and I failed so from now on I’m not leaving her side.” The guy said. Harry? He took me home? He’s the reason I’m here? I racked my mind for a face until finally I found one. Ohhh, Harry. I’m so glad he’s here. I wanted to open my eyes and tell my mum to leave and that I’m going to be okay but I just can’t. I tried to lift my arm but it didn’t work so I tried something simpler. I tried to move my finger and I think it worked.
“She moved, I swear she did. She can hear us. Kylie, stay with us.” Lauren said. I pointed my finger in the direction Harry’s voice came from and they saw it.
“She wants you Harry, she pointed at you.” Ben said crying. I hate that he’s crying over me. I’m going to be okay. I heard someone come nearer and felt a warm hand on my cold one.
“I’m here Kylie, did you want me?” Harry said. I moved my finger on top of his hand for a second to say yes. I can't do anything except move my finger. I can’t even feel my legs. What has my father done to me?
Harry’s P.O.V
It feels so wrong to be holding the hand of a girl who is in a coma because of me. It’s all my fault, if I had never taken her home from the club she would have gone home and her father wouldn’t have gotten mad. I should never have touched her. I pulled my hand away from hers before standing up and walking out. I can’t do this. She needs her family around now, not me.
Lauren’s P.O.V
“Where’s he going?” Ben asked me when Harry walked out of the room.
“I don’t know Ben; maybe it’s all too much for him. He doesn’t really know Kylie and now she’s lying in a hospital bed. He probably blames himself but he’ll be okay.” I looked at my lifeless sister wondering if she’d ever be the same again. She has bruises and cuts all over her face, her arms were bandaged up and she has tubes and wires everywhere. I hated that I couldn’t do anything to help. I had turned my back on her for years and now she’s here. Something buzzed in my pocket and I pulled out a phone. Not mine but Kylie’s. –From: Imogen, How’s it going? Are you okay?- I felt a tear roll down my face as I unlocked the phone. I called Imogen and she immediately picked up.
“Kylie? Are you alright?” She said frantically.
“Urm, I’m not Kylie, this is Lauren. Kylie is in hospital, she came back for Ben and Dad got her.” I stuttered.
“Oh my god, is she going to be okay?”
“To be totally honest we don’t know, but I’m sure she’d like you here. She’s in a coma but we think she understands what’s going on around her, please come and see her.” I told the distraught girl on the other side of the phone.
“I will, I will, I can’t believe this has happened.” She cried,
“I know, I’ll see you soon.” I hung up the phone and sat down next to Kylie.
-2 weeks later-
Kylie is still in a coma and the doctors and nurses have been talking about turning off her life support. Imogen, Harry, Ben and I have been by her side for the whole time she’s been in hospital. Harry came back a few minutes after he left and admitted this is all getting to him. We keep talking to Kylie but so far she hasn’t done anything in response. She hasn’t moved at all since the last time she moved her finger and we’re all starting to get worried. Even now Imogen and Ben are crying for her to wake up.
“Kylie come on, the doctors say they’re going to turn off your life support if you don’t wake up soon. I need you Kylie. I need you to look after me. You promised Kylie, you promised me. You told me you’d always be there for me but you’re not going to be if you die. Please wake up. Please.” Ben pleaded holding her hand. Her eyelids flickered but we all dismissed it, “Kylie, please.” Ben said again. This time her eyes opened and she stared at the ceiling. I ran out of the room to get someone and multiple doctors and nurses came in. They started to check on her before removing all the tubes that were plugged into her. They gave her an oxygen mask before leaving again, Kylie now conscious. She tried to speak.
“No, don’t speak, rest.” I told her. She pulled off her mask anyway,
“What happened?” She asked in a very faint voice. It didn’t sound like Kylie.
“Dad, Dad beat you, he got mad and beat you, Harry found you and we brought you here. You’ve been in a coma for two weeks.” Ben told her, still crying.
“Harry…” She put her oxygen mask back on and took a deep breath before attempting to speak again. “Where is he?” She said.
“I’m here.” He walked over to her bed. She turned to look at him and smiled.
“Thank you for saving my life,” she whispered and placed her oxygen mask back over her face. She shut her eyes and her heart monitor started to flat line.
“Kylie!!!” Ben screamed. The doctors came in and pushed us all out. We all stood at the window. “She can’t die; she’s been through too much. She just can’t.” Ben cried. We all watched the doctor’s attempts at getting Kylie to wake up again. They all stepped back from the bed. “What’s happened?” Ben turned to me.
“I don’t know, they’ll tell us in a minute.” The doctor came out of the room.
“She’s alright now; she just got a bit overwhelmed. Only two visitors in there at a time please. She’s still going to be in hospital for another few weeks before she can leave but she needs somewhere she can stay and be safe.”
“She can stay with me.” Harry blurted out.
“Will she be okay there?” The doctor asked him.
“Yeah, she’ll be fine. I can protect her.” He told them.
“Okay, well we’ll have to make arrangements for that then, you’ll be responsible for bringing her in to appointments as well you know that don’t you?”
“Yes. I’ll do anything for her.” He said. The doctor nodded and walked away.
“Imogen and Ben go in first, you mean the most to her.” I instructed. They agreed and went in. They were just talking and Kylie would try and talk in response. “I can’t believe this happened, Dad is still out there somewhere too. What if he comes back and tries to get me or Ben instead?” I said.
“He won’t risk that. If he’s even marginally smart he won’t come back because if he does he’ll just get arrested. You’ll all be okay now. You can stay with me until you want to go back to the house, I’ve got enough bedrooms.” Harry told me. I agreed and we watched Ben talking to Kylie. He was so happy to have her back. After a few minutes they left and Harry and I went in. I wonder if she can feel her legs. I touched her shin and she didn’t do anything, not even turn to look at me. She was staring deep into Harry’s eyes with a smile on her face. That’s my sister. Even when she’s been beaten within an inch of her life and is in hospital she’s smiling.
“Hey,” I interrupted their staring session. She turned her head to me and smiled again. “I’ve missed you. Don’t ever scare us like that again, agreed?” I said and she nodded. She moved her mask and opened her mouth.
“Was- was mum here?” She said faintly. This isn’t like Kylie. Her voice is bold and distinctive and this is just plain boring.
“2 weeks ago yeah, but we got her to leave. We knew you wouldn’t want her here and she was trying to get Harry to leave.” I replied. A look of confusion passed through her eyes.
“Who’s Harry?” She asked. I looked at Harry and his eyes filled with tears. He walked out of the room and down the corridor.
“That was Harry. Who did you think he was?” I said.
“A doctor. Why was he here?”
“He saved your life Kylie. He’s the reason you’re alive today. Dad left you for dead, Harry went to find you, he’s been here since you came in, for the whole time you were in the coma, he’s been here.” I told her. She looked hurt then. I wasn’t sure if it was because I mentioned Dad or purely because she hurt Harry. But either way, she’s hurt.
