5 weeks later

"How are you feeling, Madeleine?" I had only been awake for a couple of hours by this point, my mom and friends surrounding me.

I looked toward the nurse, holding a clipboard and a small plastic cup with seven pills in it.

"I'm okay. what happened?" the nurse shook her head, placing the cup on a metal table next to me.

"Please take these, you nearly died." I sat up immediately, fear coursing through my veins as I processed what she said. She motioned slightly toward the cup, watching as I sighed and downed all seven pills at once, taking a large swig of the water next to me directly after.

"you've been in a post-traumatic comatose for 5 weeks. You had extensive bodily injuries on your first day, most are healed, though," I said nothing, when I turned to look at my mom I saw Cassandra and Lacey sitting down on the couch in the room, watching me intently as my mother and the nurse began to talk.

"I'm so glad you're okay" Cass was the first to come up to me, hugging me tightly and quickly squeaking out an apology as she bumped into my IV.

"Am I fired, Lacey?" she cocked a brow, standing up and making her way next to Cassandra.

"you're one of the best girls at the club, and you're one of my best friends. I'd never fire you" I smiled softly, grabbing my water and taking another sip of it.

"Mama?" the nurse had long since left the room, as did Cass and Lacey, they told me they'll stop by my place tomorrow with stuff they got while I was asleep.

"Can you tell Tom I'm awake" Her eyes widened as she stared at me, knuckles growing lighter as she gripped the arm of the chair.

"Why do you want him to know?" I shrugged, picking at the skin around my nails.

"he deserves it" Her eyes lingered for a couple moments more before she sighed and pulled out her phone, setting it on speaker.

after 3 rings I heard a click, and then I heard him.

"Hello?"

as angry as I was at him, and as much as I hated him for letting them do that to me, I was in love with him, and hearing his voice made me fall a little bit more in love.

"she's awake" Silence was the only thing coming from the other line for a long moment.

"Can I talk to her?" I heard him sniffle a little, loud shuffling emitting from the phone before another shaky breath.

"no, I told you that the day this happened, you can't come to see her" I wanted to scowl, to scream at her for not letting Tom talk to me, but I knew why she was doing this, so I said nothing.

"I just called to let you know. Bye, Tom" my mom muttered, hanging up the phone and sighing.

"the nurse just has to get your medication prescriptions and then we can head home" I nodded, shuffling around to comfort in the bed.

"I'm gonna bring you to a therapist" I looked over at her, she was avoiding eye contact.

"I already set it up, I want you to talk to someone. We're just gonna go so you can meet them, okay?" I rested my head on my hands and leaned back, continuing to stare at her.

"Okay, mama"

"here's the medication she's prescribed, there are 3 different pills she takes daily and 2 she takes weekly" I zoned out of the conversation between my mom and the nurse, thinking about Tom.

there were things I doubted I'd be able to forgive him for, and things I knew I probably shouldn't forgive him for. I don't think Tom is a bad person, but I don't think he's the right one for me.

as much as I wanted to forgive and forget and just go back to how it was just so I could keep him, I knew I shouldn't. I also knew that no matter what, this was not the end of me and tom.

Whether it be me and Bill hangout, or me and Tom talking, I knew we'd meet again, no matter how it ends, I couldn't just throw away my love for someone like that.

"Madeleine, let's go" I was pulled out of my trance by my mother, I said nothing as I stood out of the bed and walked to the door, my mother following closely behind.

"do you wanna tell me what happened now?" I shook my head, sliding my seatbelt over myself before turning to my mom who had begun starting the car.

"not really, I want this to be something I can heal from on my own, I deserve it" she sighed and nodded.

I watched each building zoom by before they began to slow to a stop, the car halting in front of a therapist's office.

"I'll be in here" my mom smiled, kissing my head as I got out of the car and headed inside.

the inside was just as I expected it to be, mostly white and bland, it smelled like vanilla, though.

I went up to the receptionist, and the people in the room stared at me. It wasn't until I looked at what I was wearing did I realize why. I was in a new tank top, but it was stained with stuff, I was also wearing black sweats and slippers, my mom must've brought them. I also noticed my arm, bruised and purple from the iv.

I chose to ignore the stares around me, telling the lady my information until she sent me to a room that my therapist was supposed to be in.

I knocked on the door, opening it slightly, there sat a woman with ginger hair and blue eyes, she was beautiful.

"ah! you must be Madeleine" I nodded quietly, coming inside the room and shutting the door behind me.

"don't worry, we're not talking about anything too personal today, this is just for us to meet each other" I, once again, nodded quietly, keeping my gaze on my balled up fists.

"I'm Ms. Theo, but please feel free to refer to me as doctor, or just Theo," I said nothing, finally making eye contact.

"it's okay to be scared, but know I'm just like you"

I had finally gotten home, I was itching to take off these nasty clothes.

"I plugged your phone in earlier, it's on your nightstand" I smiled and headed upstairs, quickly changing into a crop top and shorts and grabbing my phone.

I saw a long text sent 2 weeks ago, it was from Tom. I didn't reply, but I was quick to read it.

"hey mads, I know you're like kinda in a coma rn and you most likely hate me more than anyone in the entire world, I just want you to know I care about you and I don't know if I'm blocked but I'm always gonna be here for you to talk to, even if it's you getting married to the love of your life. you mean everything to me, I hope it's okay if I stop by soon to clear some things up with you."

I smiled as I read the text, turning off my phone and placing it face down, before turning on my TV and watching some stuff.
