"Mitchie" Scott drags my name out in a whiney tone.

"Yeah, Scottieboi"

"Come cudddddllleee I'm cold" I walk over to the side of the couch. He sticks his arms out and looks at me with a saddened face. I quietly laugh at his inner toddler side. I walk around and I lay down. He wraps his arms around me, pulling me closer to him. I slow my breathing so that our heart beats are the same. Soon I notice he's fallen asleep and not long after I drift into unconsciousness myself

~~~
I am being violently shaken. I wake up quickly. I don't even remember falling asleep.

"Sir. I need you to wake up." A nurse says in a serious tone.

I wake up really quickly. It is very loud now. I look at Scott. Shaking violently.

"Scott" I whisper. I squeeze his hand. "Scott!" I say louder now.

"Sir I need you to please get out while we try to help him." The nurse is trying to get me out of the room but I do not let go of him.

"Scott! Wake up please! I love you" She somehow manages to get our hands apart and me out of the room. She closes the door and I immediately go to the window, But the curtain is shut.

"Mitch." Someone whispers my name just loud enough for me to here. I turn around. Kirstie sitting up against the wall with her knees in her chest. She's crying.

We walk to the waiting room area and sit down.

"What happened?" I finally ask.

"I don't know. I fell asleep listening to you talk to him. And then the next thing I know I'm being woken up by a nurse."

"oh." I look down at my shoes. They are untied.

"but you wanna know the weird part" I look at her " I could almost swear that he was talking back to you."

I stare at her. To see if she is joking. She's not. "That's impossible." She frowns.

We sit for a while waiting to see what happens. Soon Scott's parents rush into the waiting room area. And then the doctor comes out.

"Mrs. And Mr. Hoying?" The doctor is a short woman. We all stand up. "Hello my name is Doctor Mosstine, I don't believe we've met yet." She shakes hands with his parents. She turns to me and Kirstie. "And you two are family..." She trails off

"These are my son's friends, Kirstie and Mitch" Connie Says.

"Hello" she gives us a warm smile. "So I wanted to let you know that your son has woken up. We've already done a few tests. He is responsive and he does seem to be able to remember a few things. He remembers basic things so far like his name, age, address normal things like that. We are not so sure about other things so we are periodically going to do more tests. And to build his strength up it is likely that he is going to have to stay here for just a couple more days" she talks slow. All I want to do is see him. "We will allow only two visitors at a time. We do not want to overwhelm him or give him to many surprises seeing has he could be at risk of going into shock; and at this time we think it's best not to ask him what happened."

We follow doctor Mosstine to Scotts room. Kirstie and I wait in the waiting area. We let his parents go in to see him first. after about a half an hour they come out. They both are really quiet. they stare at me and then they leave.

"huh." Kirstie says staring after them. We just stand there in silence for a minute and then she turns to me. "You ready?" i shake my head. "Mitch, What's wrong?"

"nothing." i lied. She wouldn't understand anyways.

we walk to Scott's door, and I take a deep breath. Kirstie opens the door and walks in first, I wait back around the side, so I can't see him yet.

"KIRSTIE" He practically screams with joy. His voice is raspy, probably because he hasn't talked in weeks. I hear them talk for a few minutes and then things go quiet. and I know why. I slowly walk around the corner. His eyes grow wide. it's quiet. I don't move from the door way. He looks sad. It's almost as if I had done something wrong. "Mitch..." he whispers my name, just loud enough for me to hear.

"You okay Scott?" Kirstie asks.

He looks at her snapping out of his deep thoughts. "yeah. just fine" He says it in a happier tone, but i know somethings up.

We talk a while and then visiting hours are up so we say our goodbyes. Kirstie hugs him, and I only give him a smile and a small wave and then we leave.



Kirstie and I go back to my place. At first it was really quiet. But then I couldn't take it anymore.

"What was up with Scott" I ask

"What do you mean?"

"Before I walked in you guys started talking, and then when I walked in he looked really super sad. What was wrong with him?" Kirstie grows quiet again.

"Mitch, Do you know what really happened the night Scott ended up in the hospital?"
