"So, I've been in a coma for a week? And you guys haven't found the reason for it happening?" I repeated myself. I was beyond confused.

I was still in the hospital, asking questions about what's happening. I had IV's in my arms, a medical band around my wrist. I wore a hospital nightgown with no back, and a pair of light blue pants.

"No, which is very odd. You either have to have a brain condition, like a tumor or a concussion. Or, you're under the influence of intoxication, whether that be alcohol or drugs," my doctor, Roderick, explained. I shook my head, my eyebrows furrowed.

"But, I have never used drugs let alone alcohol. And I'm positive I don't have a brain condition," I said, causing the Doctor to nod.

"Yes, we found that very, very odd. I have to say, this is a first for me. There have been no cases recorded of someone with zero altercations going into a coma," my doctor explained.

"Though, it may be odd. We have done several checks on you during your sleep to find that nothing is wrong. Ms. (Surname), do you perhaps remember what you did right before you had fallen into this coma?" Dr. Roderick asked.

I thought back to what happened right before the coma, and all I could picture was white. I grabbed a hold of my head with my right hand, wincing.

"No, I don't remember anything," I said, the migrain in my head growing. The Doctor let out a small hum, writing down on his clipboard.

"Don't worry, that is perfectly normal for someone who has just woken up out of a coma," he said in hopes of giving me reassurance.

It worked, my hand falling from my head as the headache started to receed.

"Now, Allison over here is going to escort you to a few places in the building. Don't worry, it's just for us to check if everything is going alright with you currently." Dr. Roderick stood up, and my nurse, Allison, stepped forward with a smile.

"If everything seems alright, you'll be able to be discharged from the hospital today," Doctor Roderick said, the creases in the corner of his lips showing as he smiled.

"Alright, Honey, the room we're going to isn't too far," Allison said, disconnecting me from the IV's.

"If you need a wheelchair, just ask. I want to see how you do with walking since you haven't done it in a while," my nurse held onto one of my biceps, watching as I swung my legs over the bed. My feet hit the ground, and I pushed up.

I wobbled for a couple seconds, but, managed to stand on my feet. I took a step forward, and didn't fall over.

"You're doing very well! Most patients usually need a wheelchair right after they wake up," Allison stated, escorting me out of the room, a hand still on my bicep.

"Now, let's see go visit our doctor, and hopefully you'll be discharged later today," I gave the women a nervous smile, nodding.

I all but let out a massive sigh, falling back into my bed with a huff. I just got done talking to the ENTIRETY of my family. News got around quickly that I was awake, and apparently everyone wanted to see me.

I rested on my bed, my eyes shut. I was surprisingly tired after falling asleep for a week straight.

My eyes shot open, though, hearing the rapid knocking on my door.

"Dad, I told you, I'm fi-" my words were cut off once I opened the door. Arms wrapped around my shoulders, and I fell backwards onto the floor.

"(NAME)!!!" Andrew shouted. His dark, curly hair framed his face as he stared down at me with a giant smile on his face.

"That's my name," I groaned, opening my eyes and staring into the mans green orbs.

"That's new," I commented on the septum piercing he had. He grinned, grabbed me by my shoulders and pulled me up with him.

"I told you I was getting one soon," he reminded, making me chuckle. I noticed a few changes about Andrew.

His black, curly hair had grown out longer, almost into a mullet. In his left eyebrow was a slit, and his ears were pierced in multiple places. He even seemed to gave gained some muscle, guess he was going to the gym like he said he would.

"I missed you so much, (Name)," he admitted. "I was worried you wouldn't wake up, I have no idea what I'd do."

"Andrew, I missed you too," I reached out and wrapped my arms around his neck, making him laugh and wrap his arms around my waist.

"Girl, you don't have to lie. You slept the whole time, you damn well better of had me in those dreams of yours," Andrew pulled back, his hands placed on my waist. "Damn girl, did you gain muscle in your sleep?" he questioned, squeezing my sides and causing me to laugh.

"I don't think that's possible," I said. But, I did take notice in how much firmer my body is. It was like I was working out the whole duration I was asleep.

"Ah, anyway! Tell me what it was like, asleep for a week. Could you hear everything around you?" Andrew started asking questions. I turned and walked over and fell onto my bed with a shrug.

"I honestly don't remember anything when I was out. I don't even have a recollection of anything before it I you leaned against my bed-frame and scratched the back of my head. Odd.

"Really? Well, the night before, I was over and we were watching anime together. You were going on a whole tangent about how you'd smash half the guys in Attack on Titan," my eyebrows furrowed as the man explained everything.

"Yeah, but, your dad told me you were awake the next morning and that you had seemed fine," he shrugged. "What's with the confused look?" he asked once seeing me staring at him in confusion.

"What's Attack on Titan?" I questioned. Andrew laughed, shaking his head. His laughter was cut short, though, realizing I was serious.

"Your favorite anime? The one you literally forced me to watch," he said, and I shook my head.

"Here," he pulled out his phone, unlocking it and going to Google.

"You literally obsess over these guys," he showed me a picture of two men. One of them was a lot taller than the other. He had blonde hair, blue eyes, massive eyebrows, and a strong build. The other one was smaller. Dark, black hair, piercing grey eyes, bags under them. Kinda seemed like he was done with everyone's bullshit.

"No clue," I scratched the back of my head again. My head started pounding, causing me to wince and grab ahold of it.

"Are you alright?" Andrew asked, genuinely concerned as he grabbed ahold of my arm.

"Yeah, just a headache," I shook my head, giving my friend a reassuring smile. "Hey, if you need something, I'm always here," Andrew reminded me. I gave my best-friend a small smile, nodding my head.

"I know, and I appreciate that," I told Andrew. The man hummed, laying down beside me with a yawn.

"Man, I'm beat," he admitted. "Me too," I sighed, causing Andrew to turn his head to the side and stare at me with a raised eyebrow.

"Girl, you just woke up from a 7 day nap. How the Hell are you tired?" I couldn't help but laugh, grabbing onto my pillow and holding it in my arms.

"I've been bombarded by doctors and family today. You're the only semi-normal one I've talked too," I said, closing my eyes. Andrew turned onto his side so he faced me, his arm draping over my stomach, lazily.

"Well, I'm down to take a nap with my best girl. Just wake up this time, please," he said, grabbing one of my pillows and burrowing his face in it.

"I'll try," I yawned, turning and nuzzling my face into Andrew's neck. It was a normal thing the two of us do. We've both known each other literally our whole lives.

Andrew hummed, a yawn of his own exiting his lips and into his pillow. His thin arms wrapped around me, holding me close to him as the both of of fell asleep.

I really hope I'll wake up.
