Dear Diary,

I'm sick of waking up every day and realising I'm still in this spasticated wheel chair. I wake up and realise I still have no shoulder to cry that I still have no family. I remember the moment I turned the corner only to see our house glistening in red and orange flames, only to find out there are no survivors. But the fact is I can't accept it feels like a dream. I don't even know if I was awake or not writing this.

I look into the mirror, I look at least 40 years older than I remember. I feel alone I have no family or anyone to talk to. I couldn't remember the last time I saw Stiles I hadn't even had a chance to tell him how much he means to me. I wish he was still here, I miss him. I had decided to go where I last saw him, where I last saw Stiles. I decided to go to the house of ash, where I lost my whole family.

As I entered I hear the old red door creak. I remember how me and Stiles used to study together like it was yesterday. We used to cook together and do whatever we wanted. Like there was nothing we could do together. I remember how Stiles tried to help me save my family and how I couldn't do anything to help him.

I heard my name 'Lydia I don't know if you can hear me...but I need you.' I was confused...it can't be... Sti...Stiles h... he burned in the fire! I look at the time 3:27. I needed to get home ASAP for my arthritis medication. I was wheeling as fast as I could but as I came to the wooden bridge I lost my balance. I could still hear Stiles in my head, and the last thing I remember was falling in to darkness, coldness and strength.

All of a sudden struggling to breath I woke up. I looked around me only to find Stiles jumping out of the chair he was sleeping in. 'Lyds... is that you?' he stood up and gave the biggest bear hug in the world but it wasn't a boring ordinary hug it was a hug filled with warmth and love. 'I missed you' he said. 'I missed you too.' He explained what had happened to me and my family.

He said I had fell into a coma and had been in one for the past 6 months. I had never been so happy in my life to see Stiles. I had to tell him how much he meant to me.

'Stiles...?'

'Yes Lydia.' He looked at me in awe.

'I need to tell you something...before it's too late. You mean so much to me... and if you died without me telling you this...I think your voice pulled me out the coma. It was your voice that drew me out. So thank you, thank you for being here Stiles.

'Lydia I will always be here for you no matter what.'

I reached out and grabbed his hand, we just sat there for a moment just staring at each other and honestly he was just so... so Stiles.

We was interrupted when my mum came running in the door.

'M..mum?'

'Lydia if anyone could make it it's you. I missed you sweet heart. You know stiles was here every day.'

'Stiles...Thank you.' I said starring at him

'You would have done the same.' He said

'I could never imagine living like I did in that coma. Having no one ], all the people I ever cared about dead...everyone in my life had left. Sad, alone and depressed. What I learnt is Stiles never take anything or anyone for granted. You should never be alone no matter what. Mum can you give me and Stiles a minute.'

'Sure honey I need to pop out to get you a few things any way'. As she had finished her sentence she placed a caring kiss on my forehead.

'Bye'.

'Stiles I heard you say something but I don't know if it was true...I want you to know.. if it was you. If it was...I do... I do love you...'

He lifted his head up as soon as I had said those 3 words he got up and sat on the edge of the bed. He cupped my face and had leaned forward before we knew it our lips were touching, wishing the moment had lasted forever we both pulled away.

'It was me Lydia. And yes I do love you.'

We just sat there for a while smiling like two weirdos staring at each other in awe.

He visited me every day before and after I had been released from the hospital. I was always happy to see him. He brought me my homework and helped me study in the hospital. We were the amazing duo again the one that could do whatever they wanted the duo where the world had no limits. I told him more in detail about the coma and that I was lost without him. I told him how I would go out of my freaking mind if I lost him. He said he would never leave my side that he would always be here for me. I don't want to lose him he is the one constant good thing in my life. Ever since I came out the coma that one constant good thing in my life was always there and never a day went past where he failed to make me smile or love him more. I fell in love with like how you fall asleep; slowly then all at once.
