Coma
As Enid runs to hug Wednesday, Wednesday catches her only to push her away and pull her back in for a hug. The teachers quickly called for the ambulance as Wednesday held onto Enid, as she tried to head back to their dorm.
However, barely up the stairs, Wednesday fainted, and Enid screamed her name.
E: “WEDNESDAY! Wednesday! Wake up! Please!”
But Wednesday couldn’t hear her, soon the ambulance arrived, both girls were sent to the hospital, and Wednesday was taken to the OR.
Enid’s POV
I sat outside the OR and waited for Wednesday’s surgery to finish, the nurses tried to get me to get cleaned up and changed but I refused to budge. Soon I saw Bianca, she walk up to me with a bag.
She used her siren song on me.
B: “Change into these clothes. Get your stitches done.”
I immediately begin to move as instructed, I was forced to take a shower and I got some small stitches and I quickly changed into the clothes Bianca had brought.
When I broke off from the siren song, I realise I was wearing one of Wednesday’s oversized hoodies. It was one I saw her wear on multiple occasions.
B: “It seems like your fine.”
“I can’t believe you use your siren song on me!”
B: “It was better than letting you wear a coat while underneath you were naked and bloody.”
I huffed in frustration when what she said made sense.
B: “Look, you wouldn’t want Wednesday to see you covered in gore as much as she enjoys it when she wakes up.”
“True.”
A: “Enid!”
I heard Ajax as he ran towards me. I would hug him but I was too worried about Wednesday to care.
Behind Ajax were Yoko, Kent, Divina, Xavier, Eugene and even the Sheriff.
Y: “Hey, pup.”
“Hey, Yoko.”
Y: “How you doing?”
“Fine, I’m just worried.”
Y: “Yeah, we all are.”
Yoko sat down beside me and everyone else quickly took a seat as we waited for Wednesday to come out from surgery.
S: “I need to ask you some question alright?”
“Fine, but don’t think I’m forgiving what Tyler did to Wednesday.”
S: “I know, I should’ve paid more attention it was my fault.”
“At least you know.”
The sheriff bent down in from of me and begin asking questions, we told him everything, from how Wednesday had first suspected up to when Wednesday figured out the truth.
We sat outside the OR for another hour or two, and mid-way, the sheriff let us know he had notified our parents. I was annoyed, I really didn’t want to deal with my mother right now.
Wednesday’s parents arrived first.
G: “How’s my little scorpion doing?”
Gomez, Wednesday’s father had questioned while he took deep breaths.
E: “We don’t know, we are still waiting for the doctor”
Speak of the devil the doctor came out. We waited anxiously as he took in a few deep breaths.
D: “The surgery went well, we removed the head of an arrow from her left shoulder, and there was much damage to her nerve muscles and the surrounding area except that most of her veins were slightly damaged. We managed to fix the damage before it became even worse, she might have had a concussion due to a blow to the head, and she has a small open wound on the left side of her stomach which we also fixed but it looks like it had healed recently. Overall, everything was fixed before any major damage was done. She should wake up in a few days but if after a week she doesn’t we will declare her in a coma. But we did call code blue twice”
We all let out a breath of relief, that we didn’t know we were holding.
M: “When can we see her?”
D: “Family may enter, but not her friends.”
I wanted to argue with him and tell him to let me in to see Wednesday.
G: “These children are family.”
D: “Alright then but two at a time or if you prefer one at a time.”
Wednesday’s parents went in first, we could hear them from the outside.
G: “My little scorpion…how marvelous of you! May you have disastrous nightmares before the dream before you.”
M: “As your father says, Wednesday, terrible nightmares, we will be waiting for you.”
I wanted to shake the girl in that room. Yell at her to wake up. I could also see Wednesday looking at her parents with a sharp stare. Morticia, Wednesday’s mother, muttered something in a different language before they came out.
Eugene and Ajax went in next.
E: “Hey, beesstie, the bees and I will be waiting for you so come back soon. After all, hummers stick together right?”
I could imagine Wednesday giving Eugene a stern nod to his question. I then heard Ajax.
A: “You save us. Wednesday you save the whole school, you protected Enid in where I failed. So, you have to wake up, you can’t make Enid cry.”
Wednesday would glare at him and tell him to be quiet saying she doesn’t need anyone to tell her what to do.
When they came out, Bianca and Xavier went in.
Ajax sat beside me. He spoke up.
A: “I know…you don’t love me…you love her, she is the one for you Enid.”
“Ajax-”
A: “Listen to me first.”
I nod my head and he continues.
A: “I’m not the one you want, nor am I the one who can protect you. She is, and I rather see you happy than be selfish and keep you by my side. So, let’s break up.”
I wanted to say it wasn’t true but deep in my heart I knew, I had already scent mark her.
A: “Hey, hey, don’t cry, I can’t stand you crying, I’ll still be your friend well a ‘boy’ friend.”
“Hahaha…thank you Ajax.”
A: “Also to be honest I might be bisexual so who knows? Now stop crying you want to look the best for your girl right?”
“Yeah, thanks again.”
All the while, while talking to Ajax I also heard Bianca and Xavier.
B: “Hey, we still have a draw in fencing, you need to return soon, I need a rival and my friend, if you don’t wake up, I won’t let you off easy. Besides we are heading to win the championship for fencing soon, you should join us.”
X: “Hey, you look just like the day we met. I don’t think I want to see you in a casket anytime soon so you need to wake up. I swear if you don’t wake up Enid might go feral on us.”
“Hey! I wouldn’t!”
Everyone including Gomez and Morticia laughed as I pouted.
Next was Yoko and Divina, I sat back as I listen.
Y: “Yo, goth girl. If you make my pup cry, I’ll suck you dry so you better wake up soon. Also, I don’t really want to listen to her rant to me when I could be making out with my girlfriend-oof.”
I guess Divina used her elbow to hit Yoko, I let out a chuckle.
D: “Ignore her Wednesday. But honestly, thank you, you helped protect a place we call home a place where no one judged us for being us. But Yoko is right, if you make Enid cry, I’ll come after you.”
Wednesday would have ignored them. Kent went alone as I wasn’t ready yet.
K: “Thanks, Wednesday. My sister is right, you protected our home, see ya.”
He said and came out, I got up slowly and walk to Wednesday’s side, and sat on the chair. I held her hand.
“Hey, roomie. I know I’m wearing your hoodie, it's really comfortable and it smells a lot like you. Bianca grabbed it, so don’t blame me. I’ll wait for you. As long as you want me to, I love you, so wake up soon.”
I got up and planted a kiss on her temper before walking back out.
Everyone looked at me and I gave them a sad smile, Yoko and Divina gave me a side hug. After a while, Morticia spoke up.
M: “Come now, children, let’s head back to the school for the night. You can all visit tomorrow.”
We nod our heads and were led out of the hospital by the Addams. I noticed her brother wasn’t there.
“Mister Gomez.”
G: “Call me Gomez, futura hija.”
“Gomez, where’s Wednesday’s brother?”
G: “You mean Pugsley? He has school tomorrow, and I don’t think he should really see his sister in that condition, wouldn’t want my little scorpion to attack him the next time she sees him.”
I smiled.
We all got into the family’s car and were driven back to school where they dropped us off and headed home, I remember Wednesday telling me how her home was a 3 to 4 hours ride from the school.
Everyone: “Bye, Mister and Missus Addams!”
M&G: “Goodbye children, have a terrible nightmare.”
With that, they drove off. We all headed back to our dorm and when I reach mine, I could imagine Wednesday sitting at her desk in front of her typewriter and she turns around to ask me where I was.
But when I opened the door, I saw her bare empty side of the room, walked to the window, and sat right between the two shadows.
I hugged my knees thinking of her.
Wednesday…
I think of her playing the cello, how her typewriter would sound as she type away at it for her novel, how she would turn down, anyone, and how she helped me during the Poe cup. I loved her, she was my mate, my omega, my love, and my moon.
Goddess Selene chose my mate and tied my destiny to one as dark and wonderful as Wednesday, a day people of the past feared, believed children born on Wednesdays were to be unlucky, filled with woe.
Oh, how she chose one to match me, oh how I’m filled with moonlight when I see her as she plays her cello. My moon-Wednesday Friday Addams, may you wake up soon and never remember the pain you were filled with.
I climbed into my bed as I was quick to lull into sleep as I imagine Wednesday playing her cello.
The coming morning
I changed into one of my fewer rainbow clothes, one completely pink that said ‘love is everywhere.’ I took her favourite black jacket and threw it on, and one of my sweatpants.
Grabbing a book on greek mythology, who knew Wednesday would be into Greek Mythology? I grabbed my phone off my charger, and my wallet and rushed to the hospital.
When I got there, I sat beside her bed as I watch her sleep. Praying to Selene she would wake up soon. I opened the book and read it out loud, the nurses would come in to check once every while but Wednesday wouldn’t even twitch.
I saw them touch her, where I dare not trespass, I knew she would glare at them if she woke up, she would tell them not to even get near three feet from her.
I held her hand the whole morning, I watch her sleep, her peaceful face, even as her parents entered, I did smile at them as Morticia places a hand on my shoulder for a few seconds as comfort.
I saw how they would hold each other as they watch Wednesday. When it was lunchtime, I ordered some takeout that they might enjoy from studying Wednesday’s tastebuds.
When the food got here, we sat there and ate, and I thought food would wake her up, hoping she was hungry. But nope, she slept through our entire meal. As her parents got up to leave, I followed them and send them off.
But not before asking.
“I would like to request permission to court Wednesday once she wakes up.”
M: “What a torturous idea!”
G: “Oh, a future paramour for our little storm cloud, isn’t that right Tish?”
M: “Yes, and I’m sure you are already considered family.”
“Thank you. I’ll let you know if Wednesday wakes up.”
G: “Thank you, Enid, you said your name was?”
“Yes.”
W: “Thank you, child of mother, may you be successful on your journey.”
With that said they left, and I turn back to where Wednesday was.
The following days passed faster than I could count, the teachers had everyone forced into heading home, and many parents came to fetch them, but my mother told me she was at my aunt’s home.
Even when I went through a life trauma as long as I don’t wolf out I will never be important to her.
“Σε αγαπώ, φεγγάρι μου, μέλλον μου.”
I kissed Wednesday’s forehead, she reminded me that I had to be strong because the family does not mean it is connected by blood.
I can make my own family, lone wolf or not, my family is with her. I suddenly heard a knock and turn to find my brothers, all three of them.
“What are you cowards doing here?”
My oldest brother, Leo or Leonard, spoke up first.
L: “We’re here to visit Wednesday.”
My second older brother, Edward added.
Ed: “She did save the school and protect you.”
My younger brother, Ludas, then said.
Lu: “She is your mate, sis.”
I put both middle fingers.
“Get lost, she protected the whole school, even when you laughed and called her a maniac, she still put herself in the position to protect you and what did you do, you told mum how she was a bad influence on me, how she was full of crap, called her family a group idiots. And now you want to visit her?!”
I almost shouted at them.
L: “Look, we know, we know what we did wrong that’s why we haven’t told mum that you wolfed out.”
Lu: “You can curse at us but please don’t hate us, I mean you are now part of the pack.”
Ed: “And look at you, an alpha, your chosen mate in front of you.”
“She died on the surgical table twice, they called code blue twice!”
Ed: “Enid. Stop this just let us say our gratitude.”
L: “What are your plans now? You are an alpha, you can either take part in the competition to take over the Sinclair pack or start your own pack, maybe even join one.”
Lu: “Are you really planning on leaving us?”
Ludas knew my true feelings toward the Sinclair pack, he asked the right question.
“I’ll join the Addams pack, Wednesday told me about them a few weeks before she was expelled when I poured my thoughts on being a lone wolf. She told me, if your pack doesn’t want to and if you no longer wish to be a Sinclair, be an Addams. We will welcome you with open arms.”
