When I woke up, there was no one in the room except for a nurse I didn't recognize. I offered her a small smile, one in which she did not return. She may have not even seen me.

    I suddenly wanted her to notice me. I needed her to see me and tell me how I was. Where my family was and where my boyfriend was. Even though, if you want to get technical, he isn't my boyfriend at all. But I just got out of a surgery, I don't have to be technical if I choose not to.

   I made a soft sound, in which made the nurse look around. When her eyes finally landed on mine, there was a sudden shock in her expression. "Doctor!", she yelled and ran out.

    Fear filled me when I heard her scream. There was something wrong, if that wasn't obvious. I looked down at my blanket and could see my toes sticking out. I wiggled them. Then I wiggled my fingers. Then I turned my head.

    I could move.

   I let out a small laugh and looked around the room slowly. There were no flowers or balloons like in the movies. I thought that surely Jarod would have sent something, but nothing.

     I chewed on my lip as I continued to wiggle my toes. Not long after, several people ran into my hospital room. My mother was crying hysterically, Brookline had blood on his knuckles, my dad was right behind my mother, pale as a ghost. Jarod was there too, his hair was a mess and his hand was on his heart.

   There was another man there as well. I had no idea who he was, but he held onto Jarod as if he was shileding him. Perhaps that was the infamouse Michael I had heard such little about. He looked nice.

    Then there was my doctor, his eyes were wide as he looked at me. "My god", he whispered as he approached my bed. He looked at the screen of one of the machines and shook his head. "How?".

    "Sir?", I'm able to check out. The room silences, as if it wasn't silenced before. "Can you tell me what's wrong? Is something wrong?". He shook his head.

   "No, my boy. Everything is fine. You're a miracle. We'll tell you more later, I'll leave it up to your parents. Just know that you're a fighter, kid. A strong ass, kick ass fighter", he says. I smile a little and watch as he walks out.

   My mom and dad both come up to my bed and embrace me. My mom was still crying, obviously. But my dad was smiling. "Baby, the doctor said he'd never seen anything like that. You were dead, Ben. Dead", she continued to weep.

    My father put her arms around you. "I believe that neither of us are in the shape to tell you what happened. Brookline?", my father asks, turning to the beautiful boy in the corner of the room. "Do you mind telling Bennet what happened?".

    Brookline shook his head. My father thanked him and him and my mother left the room. He waits until my parents are completely out of the room before he takes a seat. He lets out a breath and puts  a hand on mine. "Where do I even begin, my little brunette mircale?", he smiles softly.

  I motion to his knuckles and he glances down. "Oh! Yeah! I found your little friend. He kept going on and on, lies and lies. I knew you wouldn't lie about it, I knew the doctors weouldn't either", his thumb brushes against mine softly.

       "So I hit him, obviously. They pulled me away but I was so angry. Then I remembered your sweet face, so I stopped. I could have kept going", he smiles again. "I guess we're approaching the part of the surgery now, right?". I nod and he takes a deep breath.

    "My love, what your mother said was true, you died", he says. I just look at him. "Everything started shutting down, your heart first, then your organs and everything in between. Net, your blood stopped flowing. There was nothing they could do. It all happened at the end of your surgery so they sewed you up and rushed you back. They put you on a machine but they said you were completely lifeless", he pauses a moment. "When I heard, I shut down. I wanted to kill that kid who did this. I wanted his body to burn, I wanted to watch".

     He gets situtated once again and looks at me. "That's when the nurse ran into the room screaming about how she saw your eyes. I had sat there for 3 hours, not even realizing that the time had passed. I sat through the coming of that Jarod kid and his boyfriend. I can't even tell you how many times your mom offered me coffee. I don't even drink coffee", he shakes his head.

    I had died, I'm alive, and Brookline wanted to kill Alex. What a time to be alive. I wasn't shocked or hysterical. I was happy, yeah. I'm sure the real aftermath of the experience will kick in later. But right now, there was only one thing I wanted to know. "Why'd you leave me that day?", I ask Brookline softly.

   He looks at me, then looks down. "I was so scared. I let everything come into me and I just... I ran. I took something huge from you, then ran like a f*cking p*ssy. After, I came out to my dad, who told my mom, who told my aunt, who told her son, who told the school", he replies and runs a hand through my hair. "And you know what? I didn't care. I thought, Hey, maybe now I can finally show off what I have".

     "Then I got the news about you, and it all f*cking sunk. The whole god damn thing just hit the floor. I needed you, you helped me through what some people never get through. The boy I met in the hallway on his first day of school grabbed my heart and made me a man. Will you forgive me?", he finishes. I nod and he smiles widely. "Be my boyfriend?". I let out a laugh and a nod. He leans down and kisses me softly and gently, but with so much passion.

     "I love you, miracle bitch", he says.
      "And I love you, annoying ass football player", I reply.
