Awake.

Basil ran to sunny and hovered his hand over the emergency button. Sunny reached out as far as he could in this state. Basil instantly slammed the button, then again, then again, then again. Sunny's pupil's constricted, his eyes rolled back, his body was shaking. 3 doctors rushed in immediately, bringing it to the attention of MORE doctors eventually bringing it all the way up to 15. The rest of the group ran in to be dragged away by the singular nurse, as they were performing an immediate procedure.
"What happened!? Is he awake?" kel panicked.
"He's awake. He spoke to me."
"But- he just came back.. we can't LOSE him??!"
basil gave Kel a hug to comfort him. Kel was stressed.
"I'm sure we won't lose him. The doctors said he'll be fine."
Kel soon calmed down and immediately fell asleep.

Sunny was kept in for the next few days, it was actually quite fun. Kel taught him to do wheelies in a wheelchair and even the nurses were applauding him. Sunny soon got out after 5 days.

They're out in the town square. Aubrey pauses while drinking her ice tea. "Your hair is really fucking long."
...
everyone bursts out laughing crying, their drinks going out their noses. Kel had a coughing fit for atleast 5 minutes.

"Sunny, look!" Hero pointed to a barber shop. Sunny's hair was really long, beyond his waist, he needed one so they went inside.

The barber turned to look at sunny, who was already sitting inside the chair. His jaw dropped to the floor. Sunny's hair reached down to the floor.
"Ah- okay. Well- what would you like?"
Kel whispered to the barber, supposedly giving sunny a surprise.
"Got it. Okay then, get comfy."
The barber was snipping and snipping for what felt like hours, and probably was seeing as sunny fell asleep. Soon he had finally finished. He unbuttoned the apron and gave sunny a tap on the shoulder, waking him up, but said not to open his eyes.
"Okay, open on the count of 3. 1...2...3!!!"

3!!!"

"...Oh wow." Sunny whispered. It was thick and framed his face perfectly, like a drawstring hoodie.

They continued on with their day before deciding to visit Sunny's mother. Hero, thankfully, had a car. And not just any car. It was a combi van. (the one with enough seats for everyone and looked like a minibus) Everyone sat down as hero inserted his keys into the ignition lock cylinder, set the track for Sunny's mother's house and went off. Sunny felt eager to tell someone about the incident. And there was only one that would be the least angry. Kel. They were sitting right next to each other, so it would only be rational to tell him.
"Kel."
"Yeah?"
"That day mari...y'know..."
"Oh. Right. What about it?"
Sunny took a deep breath and fidgeted with his fingers.
"She-she didn't kill herself. It's all my fault. We had an argument before the recital and I threw my violin down the stairs, I tried to run away but she grabbed ahold of me. I used my self defense reflex and killed her by pushing her. That's why I jumped. I couldn't deal with the pressure of even looking at her body. Someone helped me by getting the idea of framing it as a suicide but they're probably not comfy telling anyone yet."

"Woah..Sunny that's a lot. I'm so sorry, I don't know how to feel.. The one thing is that I'm proud you managed to let it all out to someone who didn't know. There's no changing a death. It's okay. It's in the past and there's nothing we can do. She definitely forgives you. Don't be scared, we have all moved on."
Sunny shuddered and bit his nails. He dreaded the very thought of Kel leaking his secret to the others.

They arrived at sunny's house, which, inconveniently, was hours away from the hospital. The group gave everything a good ol' brush, cleaned up the cobwebs in the craters of the rooms, and the house was clean. By the end of the day, everyone was tired. Everyone fell asleep.

Dead silence. Gusts of wind and few cars dashing across roads could slightly be heard.
A long buzzing noise was emitted from the fridge downstairs. Sunny rose from his bed. A gust of wind opened the window. He got up and carefully stepped over everyone's feet. Kel's head, because he somehow managed to do a 180 degree rotation in his sleep.

Sunny crept down the stairs. The feeling of specks of dust on the floor were manipulated into clumps of hair by his brain. Carefully, he tiptoed towards the glass sliding door which led to his garden. He stepped outside.

 He stepped outside
