Like Ghosts In The Sun

**Mikey's POV**

Gerard walks over and sits down in a chair next to Frank. He sighs.
"They said she'll be fine when she wakes up." he says quietly. "If... If she wakes up."
I rest my head in my hands. Frank pats me on the shoulder.
"She'll be fine, Mikes." Frank says. I hope he's right. A doctor walks over to us.
"You're friends of Anita Howard?" he asks. We all nod. "You can go through and see her now, if you want. She's still unconscious, though." he continues, before leading us through the plain, white corridors. Everything stinks of lemon antiseptic and there are doctors and nurses running in and out of rooms. We are guided into a small room.
I see her.
She has a large bandage around her head and several small scratches on her arms. I don't think the scratches were from the crash, though.
I run over to her and gently stroke her face.
"Nita..." I whisper, holding back tears. "I- I'm sorry..." Gerard, Frank and Ray walk around to the other side of the hospital bed and sit down in some plastic chairs. I pull up a chair and sit down. I hold Nita's hand. Her hand is quite cold. I can feel her pulse in her hand, synchronized with the slow beeping of the heart-rate monitor. I close my eyes and sigh.
"Mikes..." Gerard says. I wipe a tear away from my eye.
"I just..." I say quietly. "I just wanted to keep her safe, you know? I wanted her to be safe and I wanted her to be happy and now she's fucking unconscious and... and I just..." I trail off, sobbing. Gerard gets up and comes over to comfort me.
"She'll be fine, Mikes. She will." he says as he pulls me into a hug.
"Yeah, she loves you way too much to just leave you like that." Frank says. I smile because I know it's probably true. Gerard sits down on the ground next to my chair and leans against the wall. I hold Nita's hand again.
"Please... Nita, please... just wake up..." I whisper. Nothing. Not that I expected anything to happen. I squeeze her hand. The doctor walks through the door, closing it behind him.
"Bad news." he says. "Some more test results came through just now. There's only a 15% chance of Anita waking up again. I'm sorry." My whole world falls apart. I place my head in my hands. This can't be happening.
"Fuck that..." I hear a weak voice sigh.
I look up and see Nita lying awake with her eyes open and a weak grin on her face.
