The Light Behind Your Eyes

I couldn't believe it! She was staring back at me, she was really looking back at me with those eyes I fell in love with. I kept thinking it was a dream. I was so happy and there was so much emotion inside of me that tears actually came to my eyes, my bottom lip quivering as a couple slipped down my cheeks. I could see the concern flicker in her eyes. I sniffed and my hand shot up to place it on top of her hand on my cheek. Remembering when the doctor said she may have lost her memory I ask, "Do you know who I am?! Do you know our daughter's name?! Your brothers name?!" "Your my boyfriend, Gerard Arthur Way. Our daughter's name is Bandit Lee Way. And my brothers full name is Peter Lewis Kingston Wentz III. Do you know who I am?" I let out a laugh from humor and relief.

I buried my face in her neck and cried because I didn't know what else to do to let out my relief and happiness,hugging her tight. She trailed her arms to my waist and hugged me back. Her voice was full again, no longer weak and her paleness was normal and you could see it under the bruises. I could hear her whispering that it was okay and it she was right.It all was okay. When I finally lifted my headd, I stared down at her. She wiped my tears with her thumb and I smiled and sniffed. My thumb traced her bottom lip as I held her head in my hand as her hands were placed on my cheeks. We stared into each other's eyes. Pure happiness was all I was right now. She pursed her lips as she wiped my eyes dry.

I finally pulled her closer and pressed my lips to her chapped ones not caring one bit. Once we pulled away, my heart leaped in my chest I pressed my forehead to hers and she smiled at me, "Don't you ever go into a coma again you hear me?" Sarcastically, she said, "Oh sure, I just went into a coma for funsies to hurt you guys." I laughed and cried all together and kissed her again, "God I've missed you." I took her hand in mine and smiled again. Tears filled her eyes and I frowned, "What's wrong?!" Crying harder than ever she bawled into my chest. What in the world did I do? "Rain? What's wrong?!" I asked in shock. She took my face in her hands and sobbed before saying, "I thought I was never gonna see you or B again. Or anyone."

Breaking down again, I sighed and smiled. Wiping her tears I say, "Oh Rain, come here." I pulled her tighter and she grabs my cheeks before pressing her lips to mine. Salty tears, faint lip gloss, and some blood was what I tasted. I smiled again and she sobbed and hiccuped. "I love you Gee." She sobbed. Smiling widely, I reply with, "I never stopped loving you Rain." Slipping out of the bed I rushed to find a doctor. Not finding one, I found the nurse who went for one as soon as possible. I entered again and grabbed her hand. The doctor came in then, and he looked a little surprised to see Rain awake, even though the nurse said she was.

"Well good morning Ms. Wentz. You're quiet a luck girl. How are you?" He asked her. "I feel fine." She said lightly. "Good, I suppose I should fill you in on how you've been faring. I say you're lucky because you beat the odds of everything. You came in with a deep cut in your leg which we gave you a set of stitches for aswell as your arm. You had a pretty bad concussion, and after we weren't sure if you would remember anyone. So even though your memory is perfectly intact, I'm going to need you to answer some questions." She nodded and he started to ask,

"Can you tell me your name?"

"Rain Madeleine Wentz." She answered without hesitation, and he took a quick moment to scribble something.

"Age?"

"28."

"Date of birth?"

"May 19th 1977."

"Your brother's name?"

"Peter Lewis Kingston Wentz III"

"You fian- I mean your boyfriend's name?"

I glared at him as she said, "Gerard Arthur Way."

"Your daughter's name?"

"Bandit Lee Way."

"The band you played bass for."

"My boyfriend's which is My Chemical Romance."

"Last question, name of your son?"

She gave him a funny look, "I don't have a son." He chuckled and scribbled, "Just making sure you remember. Tricked you." Then he continued to tell her, "There was very little to no swelling in your brain while you were in a coma, so there was no brain damage, and no internal bleeding was found. We had to use defibrillators when you arrived because your heart stopped momentarily, and we finally got a steady heart beat. And you've been fine since, making very impressive, rapid progress. Well, other than that, the rest is just bruises and non-threatening cuts, and you'll have to return once your cuts have healed to get your stitches removed. Any questions?" "Uh, yeah actually, how long was I out?" She asked, "Four days." He replied. She nodded. "When do you think I could go home?" "Well, considering your progress, it's possible if it continues to progress, we can get out out by evening."

I got excited, "Really?!" I bounced up and down. The doctor turned to me and smiled, "Yes, really. We have notified your brother to say you are awake and no answer and assuming by the time he gets here most days, he's already on his way, and he'll be quite surprised. But until then, I want to see how your walking is and if you are able to be on your feet to see the progress of your leg." "Alright, sounds good." She said. He pressed a button that made her in sitting form. "You may be sore for the next couple days so don't be surprised." She nodded and he added, "If you want to grab your boyfriend's hand as you stand to keep your balance, feel free to." She swung her legs over and I held my hands out to her and she took the gently.

I kissed them both making her smile and blush as got off the bed. She did not once flinch. "Barely hurts." She stated simply. I laughed, "When you're ready, go head and start to walk around. Be steady, even if it doesn't hurt." The doctor chuckled as he wrote on his chart. She started to walk to the door and she let go of my hands. I laughed at this. Oh my God, it was like one day, she's in a coma now she's awake and walking. "You're brother is here want him to come in? He has your daughter in the waiting room with him." "Can I go surprise them and walk to them?!" She asked bouncing. The doctor nodded and opened the door for her to leave. I walked by her side and she went down the hall slowly limping.

I saw Meagan, Bronx, Bandit and Pete sitting in the chairs. Bandit had her back facing to us so we knew this was even better surprise. Pete, Meagan and Bronx looked up and Meagan covered her mouth letting out a cry and Pete's eyes went wide. Rain pressed her index finger to her lips and they nodded. I watched as Rain slowly and I made sure she was steady, she crouched down right behind Bandit. With her two index fingers, Rain poked Bandit in the ribs at the same time and Bandit flinched and spun around. Her eyes went wide as Rain waved and told her, "Hi B!" Bandit's face lit up like a Christmas tree and it was super cute. "Mommy!!!" She screeched before flinging herself into Rain's open arms and hugged her neck tightly.

Rain hugged her waist and kissed the top of her head. "Oh B, I've missed you." Rain whispered. Rain pulled away as the others stood up. Meagan still had her hand on her mouth, standing in complete shock but Pete walked slowly over to his sister. He cocked his head to the side as he studied her and walked closer. He stood right in front of her studying her. Like me, he didn't know what else to do, she he started to cry. And that was the first time I've ever seen him cry. Ever. "Oh ho ho! Pete." Rain whispered before grabbing him and pushing him to her chest. He held onto the back of her head and cried into her shoulder, tangling his fingers into her hair. "Petey, stop crying please." She murmurs. He sniffled and said, "I wish I could Rain, but I can't." He muttered.

I went over to Meagan and said, "I think we should give them a moment." She nodded and picked up Bronx while I picked up Bandit, "Yup, let's just go to the cafe." I nodded and I motioned for everyone to give them space and the people at the front desk left as there was no one in the waiting room but Rain and Pete.

Pete's POV

I hugged Rain tightly as I cried on her shoulder, feeling like this was a dream. It didn't seem possible for her to just to be up and awake after four days of a coma. Just out of nowhere, she was walking, talking and hugging me with a smile. It was like she never fell into a coma. I was super surprised, and this was the best surprise of my life. We pulled away and I looked at her up and down. "Petey, stop crying there's no reason to cry, I'm okay." She said. I hadn't realized how much I missed her calling me Petey. "I'm sorry, It's just been so different without you Sunshine." I hugged her once more, "Non of us really knew if you were gonna wake up." "I just want you to know I love you Petey." She whispered. I burst into more tears, "I love you too."

When we finally let go of each other for the third time, she asked, "Pete, what about....what about Rose?" Quietly, I replied, "The cops found her body and it's been in preparation for a funeral. It's going to be held tomorrow at nine. Also the cops want to interview you once you're out of the hospital." She nodded, "Only if you or Gerard is there." "Okay, I'm pretty sure they might want to ask Gerard some stuff too. And speaking of Gerard, whenever you go home, or even if you're still here he'll stay here with you. Just hold him for a while. He really needs it, after these four days of worrying he needs you. He left that room once for Bandit but never left it again." "He never left it after?" She asked in shock.

I nodded, "He sat there, holding your hand. On the third night, he started joining you and holding you to sleep. He didn't leave your side, he refused to."

Rain's POV

Speechless was I. I had no idea he'd stay in that room for so long. How did he not go crazy, or depressed, I have no idea. I would have been. As if Pete read my mind, he said, "He loves you. Too much." I smiled widely because that made my heart skip rapid beats. Pete decided we should go back to the room and I sat in the chair by the window as the door opened. Bandit, Bronx, Meagan and Gerard walked in with a cup and spoon. "I brought you Jell-O." He murmured. Mmm, green, my favorite. I opened it quickly and licked my lips as I dug a spoon full and shoved it into my mouth. I moved it around and then, I felt something hard. A confused look spread across my face as they watched me. There was an object in my Jell-O.

I played around with it and it was some kind of circle. I carefully finished swallowing the Jell-O but pulled out the hard object. Brows scrunched up in confusion, I opened my hand and in my palm was a ring. It was no ordinary ring, no, an engagement ring. What? I slowly looked up to the room. Bandit stood next to Bronx, Bronx in front of Meagan and Pete behind Meagan, but Gerard, he had a huge grin on his face. "Gee," I asked slowly, "What....what is this?" I asked cautiously. "Rain." He stated with a nod, "I'm asking you for your hand in marriage, to be my my wife." He gulped. I licked my lips slowly and asked, "is this a joke or serious?"

Gerard laughed, "Not a joke." He murmured. I darted my eyes around the room and they finally landed on Gerard. I let out a shaky laugh, a smile crossing my mouth. "Y- yes." I said stuttering from nervousness. Well who wouldn't be nervous being asked to be married to the love of their life? "Yes." I repeated once more before nodding. Gerard looked around like he had no idea what to do. "Gerard?" Meagan asked, "Aren't you gonna go hug her and place the ring on her hand?" "I would but I'm stuck. Legs, weak." he stated. Pete rolled his eyes and pushed Gerard towards me. He stumbled over, tripping over his legs and stopped right in front of me.

I looked up at him and stood. I dropped the Jell-O cup, as Gerard took my left hand and slid the ring on my finger. I looked up at him. Then, it all hit me. I burst into tears that I knew wouldn't stop. Everyone laughed and Gerard opened his eyes for me to hug him. I fell straight into them and clutched onto him more than hug him. I cried into his shoulder and he cupped my face. He pressed and kiss to my lips. The first kiss as an engaged couple. "I can't believe this is happening." I whispered shakily as he kissed me once more. He held my hand tightly and I pressed it to my face, cradling it.
