You’ve got wires, coming out of your skin
“Wires” by Athlete

We weren’t close. Well, I suppose we were, doing what we do. But we could have been closer. I wish we had been. She looks so pale now. There are wires going in and coming out of her skin. Those wires are all that is sustaining her. She wouldn’t be alive without them, which is a scary thought. Bump them or do something wrong and she’ll die.

Anyway. I didn’t know her well enough and now it’s too late. She may never wake up. The doc said few people in comas such as hers wake again. Her chances aren’t high.

It’s weighing heavy on Angel too. They had something together. I can tell in the way he looks at her when he visits now. There’s more to their relationship than what they let out for everyone to see. His heart is aching and I’ll do anything to fix that. I should’ve studied medicine then maybe I could...

Maybe I could get to know her better.

Maybe I could save Angel’s heart.

Maybe.

But then maybe not.

Maybe this is how it is meant to be.

I’ll miss Cordy for what we did know of each other and for what we didn’t. We’ll all miss her. I can still hope she’ll make it out of this okay though, can’t I? She’s not gone yet and stranger things have happened.

Maybe I could save Angel’s heart.

That line is breathtakingly beautiful. As is this fic. Great job!
