Why haven't you grown tired of me?
-My Girlfriend. (Tears? What tears?)

The doctor came in after everyone had finally cleared out. "You're fine physically. You may be a little sluggish for a while, but somehow you're in perfect health. Its like you were never in a coma. It's so confusing. How do you feel?"

"Tired. Annoying people suddenly caring about me. I just want to sleep." And wake up back with people I care about.

She shook her head, and the door shut behind her. Now I had time to think. Why me? The pattern broke. They were only sending LGBT people back, and I'm straight. Does Bianca know I'm gone?

They would panic. Abby especially. She had been more emotional than ever lately. Last night she had been a roller coaster of emotions...

Patrick had confided in me that he was terrified for them. I thought it was selfless. Them didn't include him.

Hehehe.

So apparently how heavenly pregnancies work is its not painful, the baby comes whenever, and doesn't cry.

Damn. Give.

B would love that... Oh God Beth. She still had the ever growing baby bump.

Nothing has changed.

That's what I hated the most. In less than a week's time I would be back in college, studying to be a writer, facing weird stares and fake sympathy.

Ew.

Okay so I realize I'm making light of the fact I committed suicide and didn't die and "GOD IS GIVING ME A SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE I WILL USE IT FOR GOOD." And the reason I haven't mentioned this is because that's stupid and it didn't happen. I wanted to go back to Heaven. I missed Bianca and Patrick and Abby and the mystery kid and Jess and Gwen and Jack and fuck was I bored in this hospital bed do they realize no one likes tennis or bulk TVs and the combination will kill me from boredom I thought hospitals saved lives.

Just the usual.

So I spent a lot of time thinking before it hit me in the face.

"Its like you never were in a coma." No damage to my health. That means it could happen for Abby too. She could be cancer free. The kid could come out alright. Hi I'll be auditioning for the student and I'll be singing "The Kids aren't alright" by Fall Out Boy.

But I had no way of telling Abby that.

I'm sorry this was short and kind've annoying. (Woah just like me. But without the kind've.)
