Chapter 119
***** Vincent's POV*****
At first, I thought I was fully imagining it...
That my mind, desperate for any slight sign of life, was playing tricks on me...
But no- the faintest twitch of his fingers in mine was real!
My gasp caught up in my throat, and I held still, afraid to move, afraid to break whatever fragile connection had just been sparked.
"Daryl?!" My voice barely escaped as a whisper, my heart thudding loudly in my ears.
For a moment, there was nothing. The machines kept their steady rhythm, the silence closing in on me again. I gripped his hand tighter, willing him to give me another sign, anything to show me that he was still in there, fighting to come back. Then, just as I was about to lose hope, his eyelids fluttered. It was so small, so quick, that I almost missed it, but it was definitely there.
A flicker of life!
My heart sprung up into my throat next, and I stood up so fast that the chair tipped over behind me with a loud clatter.
"Daryl? Daryl, can you hear me? Whatever you're doing, keep doing it! It's working!" I leaned over the bed, my face inches from his, my hand still gripping his tightly.
"C'mon, man, give me something else..." I plead, not wanting the momentous moment to die out.
His brow furrowed ever so slightly, and I watched, holding my breath as his chest hitched, a faint groan escaping his lips next.
He's responding! He's finally waking up!
The machines around him beeped a little faster, reacting to his movements and sudden change in demeanour, and I felt a surge of hope crash through me like a tidal wave.
I reached for the call button beside the bed, smashing it with more force than necessary as I called for a nurse - pressing it again and again as if that would make them move faster outside.
Dropping it, I rush to the room door, opening it and seeing a half asleep Amelia looking up at me - suddenly startled.
"What's going on Vincent?!" Amelia stammers, leaning forward and dreading to hear any more bad news.
The rush of nurses come speeding down the hallway, as I motion for them all to hurry up...
"He's waking up!" I shouted, my voice shaking with a mix of relief and disbelief all at the same time. "He's waking up, come quick!"
Within moments, the room was a flurry of activity. Nurses rushed in, checking his vitals, adjusting the machines before a doctor arrived shortly after.
