I heard the door open and looked up. I expected to see Piper but who I saw was someone I least expected. Micael.
"Hi, um I'm sorry if this is inconvenient." He said, I noticed the bouquet of roses in his hand.
"These are for you, Vanessa wanted me to give them to you." He looked tired, he handed me the roses. My heart was beating so fast I began to tremble a bit.
"Uh, thank you.. You really shouldn't hav-" I saw Piper open the door in some type of panic, she looked at Micael and then at me. She looked at the roses that I had placed on the side of the bed. Katerina had came out of the bathroom door and just as fast as Piper had appeared in the room, she was gone.
"What was that about?" I directed my attention to Katerina. She looked at Micael and then at me.
"This dumb ass was checking out this.." She paused and Micael spoke his name. "She was checking him out at the cafeteria earlier today. I'm guessing she's pissed off that he's your hubby." I blushed, how could Piper get mad at me because Micael had brought me roses? She already had a boyfriend.
"Micael is not my 'hubby' Kat, and are you kidding me!?" My aunt waked into the room, she was wearing all black, she ran to me and gave me the warmest hug. I hugged her back.
"You're awake! You finally woke up!" She was smiling and crying. She didn't let go, I hugged her back. It had been almost a year since I had last seen her, and I really had missed her. Micael and Katerina both stood there awkwardly, I started crying, my aunt held me and whispered 'everything's going to be okay' into my ear. But I knew it wasn't. Nothing was ever going to be okay.
After a while of my aunt and me talking she stepped out to see the doctor about my release date. Katerina who had left to catch up to her sister came back and said that Piper had left, she had taken her car and was long gone.
"I don't know her, I have no idea why she reacted that way." Micael said he was sitting next to me. "I have to go, I'm going to be with Vanessa." He slipped a piece of paper into my hand and left. I opened it, it read:
"I think you're beautiful and I know things aren't okay right know, but when are they ever? Well call me sometime, I'd like to take you out on a date ;)"
Date? Me? Now? When I was basically half paralyzed and my mother had just passed away? I couldn't be able to do that.
"Carolyn.. I get that Piper is your best friend, but promise me that no matter what, you'll keep this one... I have a good feeling about him." Good feeling? She said that last time, with Vic and look how that ended up. I wondered where Vic had been this whole time I was in the hospital, the whole time I was in a coma. Where was he now?
My aunt took Katerina to her house at Terrence and went home herself. I was again alone in a room with nothing but my thoughts. I cried all night, I missed my mother more than anything, and no one knew it but me.
