We became a mystery.

Chapter 7

"She's awake!"
"Quentin wake up she's woken up, Margo is awake!"
I jolt out of my sleep when i hear Willow saying this to me. Am i dreaming, is this a side effect of the drug they were giving me? No, it can't be, i'm sure i heard her say Margo was awake. I force to open my eyelids, everything is a blur but a couple of blinks fixes it.
"What- what? Margo?" I muffle to her.
"Yes Q it's amazing- a miracle. She's awake!" I can see tears glowing on the sides of her eyes, my instant reaction is to get up and run to her, run to the love of my life. Which was a pretty stupid decision since i had just woken up, of course i lost my balance and fell. At this Willow gave me a giggle and helped me up telling me that i had to wait for her head doctor to check up on Margo to see if everything was okay. "She's still very fragile" Willow told me while serving me a cup of icy water.
"How long has she been up for? Did she talk to you? What happened?"
Willow takes a seat at the foot of my bed and brushes the blanket with her pale hands, after organizing her thoughts i guess she starts telling me how Margo woke up.
"It was about seven hours ago, the machine monitoring her heartbeat increased so immediately a nurse had to be called in. She found Margo a little bewildered, but she was trying to say something.
Your name Quentin, she was asking for you. Then the nurse ran out to look for the doctor because it was medically impossible for her to awake like that you know? So sudden. Dr. Lancaster doesn't have any explanation for this yet but she and her team are trying to figure it out. But Q, she is awake and our of risk now. It's a miracle."
I sit there quietly thinking of my words, "she was not a miracle... She was a girl" I think that though people aren't miracles or precious things they can do miraculous things to you and make you think they can do wonderful thing and make you feel wonderful things. When you get your first pet, when you go to a magic show for the first time ever, when someone says something you wanted to tell them for so long- that is how i feel right now. Excitement flows and rushes through my veins and i feel so calm and serene to know she will be okay, more than that i feel my heart shinning with love when i think about the fact that she woke up calling for me, that she might've heard me talking to her last night, that perhaps and only perhaps my words had somehow convinced her to come back to me, and to everything that awaits her.
"Do- do you think i'll see her today though?"
"Hard to tell, I'll try to talk to Dr. Lancaster and her assistant Dr. Woodley to see what we can do. Rest up Q, you'll need to be stronger than ever for her, i'll bring you some breakfast.
Willow is hesitant to leave the room, i think she wants to tell me something but after a few seconds she just slides the curtain shut and i'm alone again. I want to tell Ben and Radar about this, i miss them badly. i wish they could be with me now and that i could tell them everything. I miss home as well, my mom and dad- their ridiculous policy of letting me curse in front of them. I miss Mom and the stories she used to tell me about her patients, i have a feeling that everything's going to change and it's burning my guts.
After breakfast i turn on the TV to watch some show and spend the time i have left before i see Margo. I decide to watch this show that debates on which movies are best and why, it's boring sure- but i like boring. My curtain slides open and i see something that looks like a black sponge, then i realize it's hair- an afro- RADAR! He comes in carrying a heavy box of- what is that? Cake? But i don't finish looking at the box because the next thing that comes in is Ben. I'm so startled that when they shout "SURPRISE!!" I cannot say anything back. My eyes must be popping out of my skull and i feel my mouth's partly open.
"Don't make that idiot face you, just say hi." Says Radar half crying, half laughing. He comes next to my bed and embraces me, Ben joins next but he isn't laughing she's sobbing like a two year old.
"I can't believe- Q, what- happened... Quentin fucktard Jacobsen- I- ...."
We're now a ball of slobber and tears, i finally snap out of my shock and tell them everything that happened. They listen quietly making faces back and forth at certain points of the story. They tell me how they've been doing lately, Lacey and Ben are still together just like Radar and Angela. Everything is pretty normal according to them.
"How did you guys come.
Why didn't you tell me?"
"Well it was supposed to be surprised you scumbag. We even brought a bunch of donuts and cinnamon rolls" Says Ben who is now laying next to me.
"Well it went pretty damn well" Radar says matter-of-factly
"Hell yes it did. Hell yes it did."
