Two weeks have passed already. We need to head back home for graduation. We haven't been in school for two weeks star aight so we will have a lot of make up work.

My father and mother aren't doing well. They are bruised anymore but they still are in the comas. I just want them to wake up. I want to live a normal teenage life, with my parents alive and my boyfriend by my side. Is that too much to ask for?

We are in the hotel room packing. I didn't bring much just like three days worth of clothes, so I had to wash them. There were washing machines in the hotel and I used those.

After Zach and I got our stud together, we headed back to the hospital so I could say my goodbyes. I really didn't want to because then I have a feeling I am just leaving and giving up on them but I'm not. I love my parents more than anyone and anything in the world. Yes, even Zach.

Zach took our suitcases to the car and I checked us out of the hotel. I payed the bill and then went out to the car. The car ride to the hospital was silent. I knew Zach didn't know what to say to me because his parents have never been in a coma. They have gotten into bad things like drugs and alcohol but that isn't the same as tor parents being in a coma. I know they are both life and death situations but I feel like they are more different than similar.

Zach and I walked into the hospital. I had visited my mom and dad so much that I could probably find their rooms with my eyes closed.

I stood outside the room and then walked in. No matter how many times I seen them in a bad condition it is still hard for me to see them like this, in the coma. Why can't they just wake up?

I went to my moms room first. Zach had stayed outside the room to give us some alone time. I need to talk to my mom alone. I am glad he gave us some time to talk. I walked over to my moms hospital bed and sat down beside her. I grabbed her hand.

"Mom, why are you doing this? Why can't you wake up? I should have came with you but I decided to stay at the house. This is all my fault. All I wanted to do was be grown up but now I don't want to be grown up, I want my mommy," by now I was crying.

I just sat there by my mom and held her hand. This is going to be the last time I see her for a while. Hopefully it won't be the last time.

Zach's P.O.V.

I gave Brenda and her mom some alone Ike because I knew that Brenda wanted to say goodbye to her mom in private. I stood outside the door for about ten minutes and. Tends still wasn't done. I decided to go to her dads room and say goodbye to him.

I opened the door and saw Brenda's dad laying in his bed. Even though he was in a coma, he still looked miserable. Brenda is miserable too without her parents. She loved her parents to death. I wish I could but I just can't, what happens on the past. I know I need to let the past go but for some reason I just can't.

I walked over to her dads hospital bed and sat down. I have no idea what to say. It really doesn't matter because he can't hear me anyways right?

"Uh..., Hi Mr. Foster," I said, well this is really awkward. I don't know what to say.

"I just want to thank you for letting me date your daughter. I don't what I would do without her, she keeps me together. She is a beautiful girl and glad I can call her my girlfriend. I would never do anything to hurt her. She is the best thing that came into my life. My family was all messed up, I was miserable. Then Brenda came along and she fixed me somehow. I hurt her and I really didn't mean to. We all make mistakes and that was a stupid one. We are all learning still, from our mistakes. And hurting the one I love, yes I love your daughter Mr. Foster. There isn't anything you can do about either.
Why can't you and your wife wake up sir? Your daughter is miserable without you. She cried almost every single day because you and your wife are in a coma. Brenda was never a sad girl, I always thought of her as a storing girl. I mean she still is, but she tends to break when things go wrong. Like what I did. I am so stupid for that.
One thing, can I ask for permission to date your daughter because I never did before? And I think it's best to do that," I said while looking at the ground.

"Yes, you have my permission to date my daughter," I heard HER FATHER SAY.

He's awake.

"Thank you sir," I said with a smile.

I ran out the room, to the room next to her fathers hospital room which was her moms room. I didn't bother knocking I opened the door and it swung open.

"He's awake," I said.

Brenda was in tears already. Not the fact that her father was awake but what had happened before I walked into the room. Now she was crying tears because her dad was awake. I helped her off the ground because she had been kneeling next to her moms hospital bed.

Once she was on her feet, I kissed her and we walked over to her fathers room. When we got in the room, Brenda ran over to her father. She sat on his bed and squeezed him in a hug.

"Hey, little girl I'm still fragile," he chuckled.

"Sorry," she said and jumped off the bed quickly.

"It's ok."

There was a nurse in the room. I didn't even notice because I was paying attention to Brenda and her father.

"He will have to stay in the hospital for a couple days for tests," she said while clipping her pen on her clipboard.

"Ok," Brenda replied and then the nurse walked out the room.

Brenda was so happy. Her smile was really wide. I love her smile. I love everything about her. In my eyes, she has no flaws. I did I get someone like Brenda. She is too good for me. She deserves better than me.

"Do you still want to leave today?" I asked her since her father just woke up.

"Yeah, I am home sick and we should probably check on our house and maybe go to school," she said and the last part made me laugh a little. We haven't been to school in forever. Are they even going to let us graduate? Hopefully.

Brenda said goodbye to her father and mother again and then me left. We were running a little late. We hurried outside and got into the rental car and I drove us to the airport.

We were literally running in the airport. Good thing wee made it just in time. By the time we got on the plane we were out of breath and sweaty.

We sat down and relaxed. Brenda fell asleep right away. I stared at her, not in a creepy way. She looked older somehow. Maybe from all the stress and loss of sleep. Her face started to wrinkle a little from frustration. And she had dark circles around her eyes.

I still love her though. No matter what. I won't hurt her again. I don't see how I could.
