Ian always thought it was bull when people said they could hear things while in a coma.

But now he believed them.

The first day was the worst.

"...Ian?" croaked a voice on the bed next to him. "I-Ian? Are you...? Ian?! IAN? IAN PLEASE WAKE UP! IAN PLEASE!..." Ian would never forget the sound of Anthony's screams that went on for ten minutes until the hospital staff calmed him down.

He heard his parents' conversation with the doctor on the first night; "He's going to be fine right? Right?" "I have cancer! I'm not supposed to be at my own son's funeral! Tell me he's going to be fine! Please!" Ian listened as the doctor dragged them away to talk with them in the hall.

He heard his friends and family as they gathered around his bed, sobbing. He wanted more than anything to reach up and hug them.

The worst was Anthony.

He listened in vain as Anthony blamed himself for everything and stayed up until the early hours of the morning weeping.

That all went on for three days, but the third day was different.

Ian was awake.

It was dark outside, and Ian looked over and saw that it was 3:00 AM. Anthony was sleeping after four hours of crying.

Ian looked over at his friend. It was worse than he thought.

He was wearing a full-body cast and his hair looked like it had been burned off in some places. He had permanent tear marks on his cheeks. He was a shade of pale Ian had only seen when he was having a panic attack.

Ian didn't look at his own body for fear he looked worse.

Anthony stirred in his sleep and Ian snapped back into his previous position. He didn't want to alert Anthony and the rest of them just yet.

He looked at the ceiling and made a plan; a plan of things he would do next.

Nearly dying and being in that coma gave him time to think, and he decided to make the best of his life before it was over for good.

1. He would travel around the world.

2. He would spend an entire week with his family before they died too.

And most importantly,

3. He would tell Anthony he loves him, and this time, he would hear it.

He decided he was satisfied with this list, and sat up in his bed.

"Anthony? I'm awake."
