Awake.

~ 2 Years Ago ~

Third Person POV

"Doctor is he going to be alright?," Connor's mother breathes in hysterically as she watches Connor get taken into a small room.

"Ma'am, please, he's going to be alright, back away for a second please," a nurse pushes her out of the room as the doctors check on Connor.

"We'll call you if anything wrong happens, ok?," the nurse gives her a stern look and she just nods back.

"Mrs. Hawk, Connor is fine, he's just in a coma," the doctor says letting her sigh a relief.

"Thank you, do you know when he might awaken?," Mrs. Hawk asks.

"No, I'm sorry, just- just give him time," the doctor gives a slight smile and walks away. Mrs. Hawk walks into Connor's room sitting next to him on the bed.

"You'll be awake in no time," she says rubbing his arm slowly back and forth.

Knock, knock.

Mrs. Hawk spins around and finds a girl by the door.

"Jesse- I mean Mrs. Hawk, I'm sorry, I just heard about Connor, I'm his girlfriend, I don't know if he told you but I just wanted to make sure he was ok," the girl bits her bottom lip and stands by the door. Jesse smiles at her and motions her hand to let the girl in the room.

"What's your name?," Jesse asks letting her sit next to her on the bed.

"Tyler," she says smiling reaching out her hand to shake it.

"How long have you known Connor?," Jesse asks shaking Tyler's hand.

"Since the first day of school of 8th grade, I just moved into town, he showed me around the school and helped me with my classes and other stuff," Tyler says the last part a bit quietly.

"What stuff?," Jesse notices Tyler is blushing red and is staring at the ground, at her feet.

"Personal stuff, like family and friends. I trusted him and he trusted me. We've been together for two months now, seems longer but it's probably because we're so close," Tyler explains making the conversation awkward.

"Uh- what happened to Connor, why is he in a coma?," Tyler says trying to change the subject.

"He's got git by a car while he was biking, Connor is strong," Jesse sighs and sniffles.

"Mrs. Hawk, are you alright?," Tyler says grabbing her arm, watching a tear fall down her face.

"I'm fine, just worried about Connor."

"I understand, I'll leave you alone," Tyler gets up from the bed and walks out of the room.

~ 7 Months Later ~

Connor suddenly gasps for air and quickly sits up from his bed.

"Connor! Oh my god! Oh my god, you're awake!," Jesse screams calling out the nurses to come into the room.

"Where am I!? Who are you!? What's going on!?," Connor asks terrified shuffling around in his bed.

"Connor, you're alright! You're going to be ok!," Jesse yells out until she is pulled out of the room.

"I need you to let him take his time, don't force him into remembering, let the memories flow back into his head on his own, do you understand?," the doctor explains how Connor forgot most of his memory because of the coma.

"Yes, I understand," Jesse nods and puts her head down waiting for the doctor to walk away. She then slowly walks up to Connor who is examining the room.

"Connor, honey, it's me," she says softly. Connor moves his head following the sound then looks at her.

"Mom?," he says raising his eyebrows. Jesse's hands cover her mouth in shock then she cries.

"Connor you- you remember me," she removes her hands from her face and reaches for Connor into a hug.

"How long was I in a coma?," Connor asks breaking apart their hug.

"7 months."

"Do you know what I remember and forgot?"

"I'm sorry Connor, I don't. That's up to you. Tyler might be on her way here by the way, I called her saying you woke up."

"Who?"

"Tyler, honey."

"Who's that?"

((I haven't posted a chapter in 11 days I think, this is just a filler why Connor doesn't know Tyler, so in the last chapter for those of you who were yelling at Connor, it isn't his fAULT. If there are any mistakes just correct me even though I read this over 100 times because I have nothing better to do today,, have a gr8 day bYe))
