(I'M BACK Y'ALL! SORRY! I HAD A SILLY LITTLE THING CALLED ABSOLUTELY NO MOTIVATION. BUT WE'RE SO BACK)

Joshua lay unconscious on the hospital bed, his friends gathered around.

Penelope basking in her thoughts, asked out of nowhere, "Is he going to be okay?" He stirred at her voice, still swimming in his subconscious.

He wanted to wake up. He wanted to tell her he was okay. He had, in fact, been planning to ask her to be his girlfriend. But, he couldn't exactly do that when he was halfway in a coma.

Mason shuffled around in between Penelope and Kyle, trying to see Joshua.

"God- what even happened??" Kyle said, breaking the silence.

"Doctor said he swerved. Fell into a ditch." Mason replied.

"Oh that idiot..."

The room went dead silent as Joshua began to stir.

"J-J-Joshypoo?! 🥺 Hello..?" Penelope sqeaked.

"Mmm... what... what happened?"

"JOSHY!!!!!" She leaped on top of him making him wince. Kyle reached forward, ripping her off of him by the armpits.

"Watch out girl... he just barely woke up...fucking dumbass..."  murmured Kyle.

"You said it..." Mason retorted.

Penelope snapped her head back, side-eyeing them both. They stayed quiet.

Joshua groaned, leaning forward to open his eyes. "No- seriously- what happened?"

"You swerved off the road... into a ditch," said the doctor, seemingly appearing out of nowhere.  "Surprisingly, only your arms are broken. That's lucky."

"Okay... why are you back in here...?" Joshua asked hesitantly.

"Oh. Your father is waiting for you outside."

"WHAT?!"

(Sorry it was so short, I'm planning on wrapping up the story soon... it was fun, but I'm getting kinda bored of it tbh 😭)
