Helen's (POV)

An extra six days had passed. My sweet Y/n is still in her coma. I would stay by her side...Most of the time. I have been using an hour or so everyday with Claire. We instantly became the best of friends after coffee a few days ago. I know all her secrets and she knows mine. Mostly mine. Anyway. I am currently with Y/n's sleeping body. I was telling her all about Claire. How we met. How we became friends. But mostly...How she was there.

"Knock Knock" A voice said behind. Knowing who it is, I didn't turn

"What do you want?" I mumble not taking my eyes off Y/n knowing who he is

"Your phone's downstairs ringing like crazy from the girly chick named Claire. She sent you message saying she wants to invite you to coffee at the café in town square" he said looking away from me...and Y/n

"Oh OK. Reply back telling her I'll be there in ten minutes. Oh and please make it sound like I wrote the message, Jeff. I don't wanna go through the same drama like the last girl" I say holding Y/n's hand tightly

He chuckled and I could hear his footsteps leave. I was finally back to mere silence

Beep...beep...beep...beep...
Beep...beep...beep...beep...
Beep...beep...beep...beep...

I forgot. There was still the heart monitor beside her. Beside my sweet Rose. Sighing, I unclutch Y/n's hand leave her innocent body there. I was turning around and heading out the door when I heard

Beep beep.....

I widen my eyes as I turn around, hoping to hear the same noise again. But...nothing. All I heard was

Beep...beep...beep...beep...

I sniffle a little as a little tear came out of my sad and longing eye. I quickly shook my head and wiped it off. Heading out the infirmary, I grab my phone from the living room and head out the mansion doors

Time skip - The café

The bell rang its charming sound as I opened the cold glass doors. Coffee and dessert hit my nose. I sniffed in a long breath of air and exhaled. I heard a very familiar giggle behind me. Claire

"For a minute, I thought you weren't going to show up" She chimed. I turned to face her with a smile on her face

Our eyes locked in together. We kept staring at eachother for what seemed like forever. Realizing I'm being a total idiot, I looked away and a blush formed on my face. Claire also turned away with a smirk. Her cheeks had a rosy pink blush to them. I sighed and broke the silence by sitting ourselves at a table near a window. A waitress came by with a notepad and pen in her hand

"Hello. What would you like to order?" She asked placing her pen on the notepad

"I would like coffee" I say looking out the window

"I would like the same too" Claire replies with a smile

The waitress nods, writes everything down, and leaves with a smile. Claire and I are back in an awkward silence

"So umm how's Y/n?" Claire asks breaking the silence

"Uhh yeah...I guess. She's still in her......coma" I mumble the last part. I didn't want to admit it much

"O-Oh OK. Sorry" She says sadly and looks out the window

"It's okay. Really" I assure her and hold her hand

She widens her eyes at my sudden movement. I quickly move my hand and look out the window blushing madly. She moves her hand off the table and puts it on her lap. I could feel her staring at me. Her gaze left me as the waitress came with two mugs of coffee. We drank our coffee with a couple conversations here and there. I looked into her eyes and she looked to mine. We stayed looking at eachother for a while. I didn't wanna look away. Not this time. Me and her leaned closer to eachother's face, our lips barely touching when....I moved slightly forward. We kissed. Claire and I kissed. Our lips moved in sync as I cupped my hand on her cheek and deepened our kiss. She grasped to my hand as we slowly pulled back. The moment I pulled back was when hell came to earth. My phone vibrated in my pocket. I took it out and saw I had a message from an unknown number. It said:

????: Look out the window you jackass

I did as the message told me and.....my heart. Stopped...Everything around me spun as I saw who I haven't and have seen for a while. My eyes widen at what I saw. Or more likely who...

No it's impossible...... Right?? She can't be alive JUST YET!! Can she?

Yes I know. I'm totally evil and all that junk for leaving a cliffhanger. Ya can't blame me though. It happened for a very good reason and it's for all of your entertainment. Plus if you read this Marlene (a friend from my school) YOU finally know what happened. Happy? I'm guessing not. Anyway. Peace out!!!!
