Violet's P.O.V.

My eyes feel heavy and light at the same time. My back aches and my nose stings. The last thing I remember is talking to Gerard before my surgery. My eyes fluttered open to be met by the sight of a white ceiling, a needle in my arm and several balloons. My surgery must have been a success. I wondered if Gee and the guys were still waiting in the lobby for me.

I pressed the call button on my bed, it felt odd to move. Almost like when you have a crick in your neck but, without all the pain. I just felt like I was floating. A nurse rushed into my room and frantically started checking my blood pressure, sugar and temperature.

"Excuse me but, why are you so...", I couldn't quite think of how to describe her actions, "... hyper?"
"Honey, the doctor will explain everything. He will be here in a few minutes."
I nodded. The doctor came in shortly after. His eyes were wide in shock.
"Miss Iero, what I am about to say might scare you but, please try to stay calm.", I nodded slowly, "When I did you're surgery we had some complications and couldn't wake you up afterwards. We tried everything but, you just wouldn't wake up."
"Okayy..", I said slowly, not understanding where he was going with this.
"Miss Iero, you were asleep for 3 months."
My mouth dropped open. Three months? Asleep for that long? That's why I feel so weird.
"I can go home now though, right?"
"I'm afraid not, we need to keep you here for a few days to observe you but, I promise after that you will be free to go granted that there aren't any complications."
I sighed but, agreed with him.

"May I use the phone?", I asked politely.
"Feel free."

I immediately dialed Frank's number. 1 ring, no answer. 2 rings, no answer. 3 rings, no answer. 4 rings, voicemail. I sighed and called Aunt Linda's house phone. No answer. I trembled as I dialed Gerard's number and was relieved when he answered.

"Hello?", He greeted.
"Gee.", I whispered.
"Vi?! I'm coming to the hospital! Don't move!", He hung up.

I have to admit, that was pretty funny. I just woke up from a trauma induced coma, where in the actual fuck was I supposed to go? I laid on the bed, and slowly drifted off into a doze, I heard the door open but, stayed where I was.

"No. I missed her.", Gerard said through sadness. I felt a hand caress my cheek as he softly spoke. "Vi, come on."

I popped up and shouted "Boo!" in an attempt to scare him, unaware that he was so close. Our heads collided.

"Fuck, Vi!"
"Sorry." , I said quietly.
He smiled. "It's fine, I'm just glad to know you're still in there."
"So... How has life been?"
"Good, could have been better. We release our new album in June."
"Wait, what month is it?"
"March."
"Wow. That was a long ass nap."
"See? Still the same old Violet."

We talked for a while. Mostly about him, seeing as I'd been unconscious for three months. He told me about how he loved recording. And also about how he had missed me.

"So, When do you get out of here?"
"In a few days, if everything goes well."
"Good, as soon as you get out I am taking you to get ice cream. Got it?"
"It's a date, I mean deal."

I blushed, my mouth speaks on it's own from time to time.

"It's not a date, if I was going to take you on a date it would be somewhere romantic, not to eat ice cream."
I smiled momentarily. The happiness faded as the memories of our last conversation flooded my mind. Tears escaped my eyes and I began to sob. Gerard pulled me into a soft embrace.
"Shh, it's okay."
"I'm so sorry, Gee. I should have told you sooner."
"Don't think about that, sugar. It's in the past now, we can move on in life."
I looked into his gorgeous eyes and seen hope.
I whispered, "I love you, Gee."
"I love you too, Vi. Don't ever doubt that, okay?"

He leaned in close and kissed me softly. This is where my life is, in his arms.
