All I Ever Wanted

Wakey Wakey Eggs and Bakey

"You know, Lizzie, I couldn't keep our Haloween tradition." I said jokingly as I looked at my best friend "I mean, I can't just drive around and throw tic tacs at people without you. And I don't think Steven would have done it with me." I told her, watching as she slept. "Is it true? That coma people can still hear others? If you can, twitch a finger." I watched Lizzie for a few seconds, and nothing happened. I sighed and ducked my head down, looking at my nails "Steven wants to go away, just for a little while, cause I'm not feeling well and he thinks I'm depressed. What do you think? Oh, what's the point. I'm not going anyway. I promised myself I'm not leaving town until you wake up. He'll have to drag me, kicking and screaming." I laughed a little and glanced at Lizzie "You'd be telling me I'm acting stupid, you know. Now I got a kid telling me that. He's nice, his sister is here too. His name is Nico. The sister is Poppy. When you wake up, I'll introduce you guys, and-"




"Amy?" I looked up at Nico and smiled




"Speak of the devil" I laughd and stood up "Whats up, kiddo?"




Nico smirked "Your boyfriend is looking for you. Says you've been here all day."




"It has not been that long!" I protested as I tool out my phone "It's only... really? It's three already? Oops." I giggled and left the room "I fell asleep" I said to Nico as I walked straight into Steven. "Ow. Hey you." I said and looked up at Steven. I stood on my tip toes and kissed him "Sorry about that."




"It's okay. How's the mooch?" Steven said jokingly, trying to make me laugh.




It worked a little "She's sleeping beauty right now." I said and turned to look in Lizzie's room "Maybe soon she'll get up."




Steven nodded "I'm sure she will" He agreed




I bit my lip and shrugged before looking back at Steven "I think I'll stay here a little longer."




Steven frowned "Amy, I know you need to be here, but not all day."




"But I do, Steven. I really do." I protested




"Why?" He asked, and I knew he wasn't trying to be rude, but he just didn't understand.




"I just do"




Steven sighed but nodded "Alright. By c'mon, you can leave to get something to eat."




I sighed and nodded, following Steven from the hallway.




We had lunch across the street. I was 400 light years away, to be honest. I felt bad, but obviously I couldn't focus.




Steven could tell.




"What do you think about heading out for a while?" Steven asked, gaining my attention back.




"Steven. We talked about this." I sighed and stared at my Pepsi "I'm sorry. I can't go with Liz hanging by a thread. If.. If she... And I wasn't... I.."




Steven put his hand on my shoulder "Baby, it's okay. I get it. But maybe hanging around here so long won't be as good as you think."




I looked at him and shook my head, finishing off my soda "I should go back..."




"Amy, please."




"No. I have to."




"None of this is your fault."




"Not directly"




"Amy!"




I walked out, running across the street to the hospital. I just had to get away for another hour or so. Just a little while.




I sat in Lizzie's room another hour, tears in my eyes "Please, Liz. Wake up. Please?" I said and held her hand "I need you to wake up! WAKE UP!"




"Amy!" I looked at the door, Steven leaning on the doorway.




The tears spilled out "I... I want her to.. Wake up."




"By screaming? It doesn't work doesn't work if their in a coma." Steven said.




I smiled a little and stood up, walking over.




I was at the end of my rope. It's been five months. She wasn't up. Gabriel in my dream...




I fell into Steven's arms and sobbed into his shirt "I want it to all be okay again! I.. I want it to go back to normal. Please?" I cried, clutching onto his shirt.




Steven's arms snaked around me and held me tightly, just letting me cry. He promised and shushed and held me and it helped. A little.




"What are you two doing?"




I stopped for a second and pulled from Steven, looking at the door. No one was there. I glanced at Steven who also was looking at the door.




"Guys? Here?"




I spun around so quickly and looked as Lizzie sat up "Where am I? Why is Tyler of there here? Amy? Are you crying? What... Oh, shit. Where's Gabriel? What happened? The car crash! The, the accide-"




I jumped on Lizzie and cried harder. But they were happyish tears. She was up.




She was okay.




Lizzie was up and okay.
