Rachel's POV

I hear him talking.

I try to speak, but the words won't come out.

"Rachel James, will you please be my girlfriend?"

I used all my strength to try and squeeze my hand, and it worked!!

Somehow, i managed to say yes.

My eyes quickly fluttered open and I saw a teary-eyed Ethan sitting there.

"Rach, yo-you're awake?" he asked with the biggest smile on his face.

"Well I mean I'm talking with you aren't I?" i giggled

"Just got out of a coma, but didn't lose the sarcasm I see."

we both began to laugh.

"I missed you." Ethan smiled

"How long was I gone?"

"About 2 weeks. Everyone thought you were gone, forever."

"I couldn't do it anymore, I don't know what I'll do now. Melissa will never stop."

"I think she will. I got all the clips together and turned it into a mini movie. I uh kind of dropped it off at her house." he looked away

"Ethan why the hell would you do that! Now she knows everything and she'll probably kill me." i started to hyperventilate.

"Rach calm down she can't touch you. I got you."

He pulled me into a hug and I already felt safer.

"I should go tell your mom that you're awake." he said

"Yeah you probably should." i chuckled

------------------------------

"Thank you." i whispered as i lay my head on his chest.

"I'm always here for you. You need to remember that."

The doctors said i had to stay in the hospital for another day, just for checkups.

As Ethan and I were playing Jenga (note the reference lmao), a sad faced, mascara running down her eyes, messy haired Melissa ran in through the door.

"Rachel oh my god are you ok?" she ran over to me but Ethan quickly got up and blocked me.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I could tell he was getting angry

"Listen I watched the video and i know what i did was wrong. I never knew how bad I treated you. Sometimes I just got jealous. You have real friends, friends like Ethan who really care about you. I never had that, except for when we were friends. I'm so sorry i never wanted this." her voice cracked as she began to cry.

I gestured for Ethan to leave the room. He gave me a look of confusion but i mouthed the words "i'm fine" and he left.

"Come closer." i whispered to her

She stepped up and I knew that I had to be the bigger person this time.

"Melissa, what you did was wrong. I was willing to take my own life because of how bad i felt about myself.  You made me see things about myself that I never knew. Actually, i want to thank you. Because of you I became a stronger person, and learned to fight for things that are worth it. I realized that not everything is about me and that there are people in the world that will hate me, but sometimes i can't fix that. I think I'm willing to forgive you, but we can never be friends like we once were."

"I understand. I hope you know that I really am sorry. I never knew what I was actually doing." she wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Don't cry, it's ok. I'm here, I'm ok." i gently smiled

"The uh- principal wanted to see me so I should get going."

As she turned around and began to leave i said

"Thanks for coming to check up on me."

she turned around, smiled, and closed the door behind her.

Of course Ethan wanted to know everything but all I told him was that I forgave her.

And that totally blew his mind but I'll deal with him later.

For now, I just really wanted some fries.
