I feel myself opening my eyes. I groaned until the pain stings throughout my body. My heart racing and my breathing is heavy. I look around trying to get a glimpse to see I'm in a hospital. I have bandages all over my body and machinery attached to me. The worst part is that I can't move my body. What happened? How long was I out? Just then the door open.
"You're awake! How are you feeling?"
🌙"I don't know. My body can't move."
"Don't worry. You will control it in a few weeks."
🌙"How long was I out?"
"Almost 6 months. We're entering December now. Now get some rest. The others would love to see you awake."
The doctor left. I still can't remember what happened. All I know is that I got burned. As I was trying to recover my memories, the door opens.
⭐"Catnap bro! You're alive!"
🌙"Kickin? Hoppy? Bubba?"
⚡"Thank god you're ok!"
💡"We were worried sick."
🌙"You care for me?"
⚡"Of course we do. We all are."
Hoppy revealed the other three waiting. They have smiles on their faces.
🌙"Wow. I never knew anyone care for me besides Dogday. Dogday! How is he?! Is he ok?!"
💡"Calm down Catnap. Dogday is alive and he's doing well. They'll be bringing him in to see you."
🌙"Thank god. I'm glad he's alive. He's been seeing me?"
⚡"He always see you every single day until you wake up."
~~☀~~
☀"Hey Catnap. I'm all better now. I'm just using the wheelchair for a while."
DogDay look over Catnap still in a coma. He place the lavender flower in the flower vase next to him with all the other gifts. Dogday bring him a single flower everyday until he wakes up. He grasp Catnap's hand praying for him to wake up. He gently kiss his hand.
☀"Sweet dreams my moon."
Everyday Dogday asked the doctors if there's any changes. They still say the same thing. Dogday keep watch on Catnap until he either wakes up or dies...
~~🌙~~
🌙"I'm awake now. He should know right away."
☀"I already did."
I look to see Dogday tearing up smiling. I smile back. Bubba bring him to me.
☀"Catnap, you're alive!"
🌙"I'm ok. I'm here sunshine."
He hugged me tightly and kissed. I can hear Dogday crying. I cried back. The others watch with sympathy. A moment later, Dogday and I have been talking but mostly about how he spend his time in the hospital. He told me he went home after 2 months but he have to be in a wheelchair. He asked how I feel. Right now I can't move most of my body like I've been paralyzed. The burns still stings all over my body and I feel lightheaded all the sudden.
☀"It's probably your body getting used to waking up you know?"
🌙"Yeah. What happen exactly after I got burned?"
Dogday told me he's the one who killed Damon. He shot him multiple times after he nearly murder me. He stay by my side until the police arrives. He also said everyone including his family has been seeing me for 5 months which I was in a coma. I never thought anyone would care for a low life like me.
☀"Catnap, I want to be with you. For the rest of my life."
🌙"Really?"
☀"Really. We could have a family of our own and have wonderful children."
🌙"I've been thinking the same thing too."
We kissed romantically until Dogday's parents arrived.
☀"Mom! Dad! I can explain!"
"I expected high expectations from you but I never thought you fall in love with a cat. Is this who you truly loved son?"
☀"Yes dad. Please don't get mad. I love him with all my heart."
"You really risk your life. That is what a man does. I'm proud of you."
Dogday and his dad hugged each other. I guess they have a hard time bonding. Then I feel my hand shook.
"Welcome to the family Catnap."
I teared up. I finally have a home. I would never forget this moment. I will cherish this new life for my parents. It's what they would've wanted....
~~🌙☀~~
After 2 more months, I finally get to go home. My lungs are all clear but I have to avoid smoking for the rest of my life to prevent further damage. My burns are all healed and my fur is growing back but it left behind nasty scars all over my body.

Some people are disgusted but Dogday doesn't care and neither am I. He loves me no matter what I look like. I been taking rehabilitation to quit Red Smoke. Ever since Red Smoke is consider flammable even by breath, more addicts are afraid of getting caught on fire so they try to quit. I've been making progress but I keep getting repeating thoughts on Red Smoke. Dogday try to calm me down and I'm thankful for him.
I lost count on how many weeks has passed since then but it's best to forget time. I focus on getting better and healthier for Dogday's sake....
