The Waking and Heart Breaking

Logan
"What happened?" Evan prods.
"Ayla... she woke up!" I yell with excitement.
"Really? That's great!" Brendan tells me.
"We-We gotta go!" I yell as I grab the keys to the Yeti and run out the door.

At the hospital
I run up to the desk. "Hi I'm looking for Ayla Woodruff." I tell the man at the computer.
"One second," he types on the keyboard, "Room 217." I start down the hallway with Evan and Brendan behind me.

"Ayla!" I yell as I run in her hospital room and run to her side. My eyes filled with tears. I cup her face with my hands and while her tears with my thumb. There is a shocked look on her face. "You remember me, right?" I ask removing my hands from her face. "Well, yeah."
"You remember what we are, right?"
"Yeah... it's just..."
"What Ayla? What?"

Ayla
I don't know how to tell him. Like I still love him, but that dream was so vivid. I lived without him for the longest time. It's so weird seeing him. And in the dream we had so many weird encounters, he would just ignore me. I got over him too.

"Logan," I say with tears running down my face, "I still love you it's just th-that when I was in a coma I had this horrible nightmare. You never broke up with Chloe and we stopped talking and-and-" he pulls me into a hug. I feel him breathing heavily. "What's the problem then?"
"I-I got over you. We stopped talking and it became, we'll normal, I hated every ounce of it-"
"No.. no no no!" Logan says through his small sobs, "That wasn't me though! It was all a dream."
"I know. It's just," there's an awkward pause, "I can't do this. I've missed so much." I see Logan's eyes glass over. He falls on his knees and his face turns pale. "Oh..." he says as he gets up, and walks out of the room.

Logan
My heart falls apart. I fall on my knees and feel tears fill my eyes. I waited a year for Ayla to wake up. Gosh I'm dumb. I fell apart during that year. I lost friends for just being bitchy. I can't cry in front of her. I have to get up. I stand up and walk out of the room. "I'll order an Uber," I tell Evan and Brendan as I open the door and slam it behind me.

The Uber picks me up and I tell them the only place I can think to go, Chloe's apartment.

When I get there I run into the elevator and hurry up to her door. I knock on it. Tears free flowing down my face. I have no control over them.

Chloe
I open the door looking down at my phone. When I look up I see a sad Logan staring down at me. My heart feels like it's just been stabbed. I hate seeing him sad like this.

I stand on my toes and reach my arms up around his neck, pulling him in to a tight hug. He wraps his arms around my back and lays his head on my shoulder.

We've been standing like this for a minute now. I wonder what's wrong with him. Maybe it has something to do with Ayla. My phone is dead so I haven't got any notifications. "Logan?" I lower my heels and back up some to there is space in between us, my arms still around his neck and his hands still wrapped around me, "What's wrong?"

He lifts his head and sniffles. I give him a sympathetic half smile. He opens his mouth, then closes it as his eyes and spirt seem to droop even lower than they already were. "Come in, sit down I'll go make us something to drink," I tell him. I leave to the kitchen where I brew us some tea.
