Mike's pov:

I wake up in the same position I fell asleep in, and I see wills eyes fluttering open at the same time. We look at eatchother for a moment, before we sit up.

"Good sleep?" He asks me. I nod "you?" I ask. He nods back in response. This is so weird. I can think full thoughts, but I can't talk fully. It's hard to talk, and when I do its not full sentences. It's like I'm a kid. And wills doing it too.

"Your name?" He asked, looking at me. He doesn't know me? "Mike." I say. "Know me?" I ask. He looks at me for a moment. "Yes." He said, grabbing my unwrapped hand. "Mike" He pauses. "Youre Boyfriend?" He says. Pointing at me. "I'm  boyfriend" I say back, pointing to myself. He smiles for the first time since Lonnie came, and I smile back.

"Pretty" I say, and point at him. He giggles and kisses me on the cheek.

We hear the door open, and both jump back. "Scared" I whisper, holding onto him. "Very" He replies, closing his eyes tight.

I hear someone open wills door, and move myself in front of him, still holding his hand. "Will? Mike?" It's Johnathan. I sit back, but still wrap my arms around will.

He walks into the closet, and me and will just look at him like a dear in headlights. He sighs, and walks a bit further in. "Are you guys doing okay?" He asks, quietly.

We both nod, slowly. He walks over, and we flinch back. "Mike, will you please just let me unwrap your hand so I know you don't have to go to the hospital?" He asks, mildly frustrated.

I look at him, and slowly shake my hand, pulling away. "Sorry" I say. "Can't" I say, scared. "Mike, what do you mean can't? You just have to give me your han-" "shh" will says, cutting him off.

He looks at me, and tilts his head. I nod at him. He grabs my wrist softly, and slightly pulls it towards him. "May hurt" He says quietly, before un-taping the wrap.

He slowly unwraps it, stopping as soon as I wince a bit. "Break?" He asks, I shake my head. He keeps going, trying his hardest to not to hurt my hand. He gets the wrap fully off.

"All done" He says, slightly tilting my hand to show johnathon. "Okay?" Will asked. "Yes will, he's gonna be okay." Johnathan said, still looking shocked for some reason.

"More wrap?" Will asks. "Will, you don't need another wrap, just use that on-" "more wrap." He cuts him off,glaring at him. "Fine, I'll get him more wrap." He sighs, going out of the room. "Good?" He looks at me and smiles. "Good." I smile at him.

Johnathan walks back into the room, and we both stare at him again, he holds his arm out with the bandages. Me and will look at eatchother, and I slowly reach out, and quickly grab it out of his hand pulling back. He just looks at me and sighs, before going out of the closet. I can here him moving around in wills room, and I get nervous, but don't say anything to will, I just hand him the bandages, and frequently glance at the door as he's wrapping my hand.

Before I even realize, my hands re-wrapped, and I here Johnathan walk back into wills closet, dragging blankets and pillows behind him, throwing them on the floor and backing up.

We look up at him, and he nods and gives a little smile, before walking away. Me and will look at eatchother, and he crawls over to go get the blankets and pillows. Only now am I realizing how cold it actually is in here. He puts a blanket around my shoulders, and then one about his, and sits back down next to me, resting his head on my shoulder.

"Are you okay?" He asked quietly. "No" I respond. "I will be" I finish. "Sorry" He whispers, grabbing onto my arm. "I'll help" He says. "Promise."

"I love you" I say quietly. I never want to leave this corner of the closet. But then, of course, as soon as I have that thought, I have to pee.
