"Keeza, we're worried about you." I woke up in a bright room surrounded by Sharon, Harry and my mom. Of course Harry's big face was the first thing I had to see from waking up, he sat right next to me with his big hand in mine, his rings felt cold.

"Oh shit what I do this time?" I asked legitimately concerned after noticing myself in a hospital room in an ugly hospital gown with my goodies out and about.

"You drank yourself into a coma." My mom said, I could tell she was crying earlier because of the way her voice sounded but she refused to look at me.

"Oh shit for real?" I was in shock at first but then who am I kidding that sounded like something I'd do.

"For real." Sharon confirmed which made me laugh a bit because I knew she was trying to shed a light to the dark abandoned cave in the middle of nowhere with no electricity type situation.

"Did I miss our finals?" I asked eyebrows raised high.

"No, you were only out for two days." Harry said, I sighed and rolled my eyes then proceeded to lift the covers up over my head and bury my face in the white limp pillows.

"Wake me up when it's over," I muffled out.

"And she's back." I heard my mom say through the pillow.
