Mike smiled. I couldn't help but smile too. That's why the heat rose to my face and all of a sudden I realized how close I was to Mike, how close his body was to mine. His breathing hitched and was uneven and his hair was messy. I gasped for a quick breath of air and I balanced myself. The bell rang causing me jump backwards, hitting my head on the wooden shelf holding a plunger, toilet paper, and an empty bucket."Ouch" I giggled rubbing my head.

"Are you okay?" Mike chuckled helping me steady myself.

"Yeah" I laughed. I opened the door and Mike went off the other way and I went towards my math class. But I was immediately joined by Rachel.

"I'm so glad to hear that Andrew is awake and getting better" Rachel smiled with no tone in her voice, like she knew it was the thing to say but she didn't want to mean any of it.

"Yeah uhhh. Thanks" I said lowering my head down. I stared at my beaten up shoes and the slow steps I took.

"I just wanted to let you know" Rachel began. Next thing I knew I was pushed up against a locker with Rachel inches from my face."That even though everyone else in Glee thinks you're an amazing singer. You aren't good enough to win us Nationals. That little thing Mike Chang helped you with in there. That was so wrong of you. I don't know what I did to you. But it's not right to steal my spotlight all the time, Autumn. I just hope you understand that" Rachel backed up and went on her way. I sighed and slipped in my earbuds.

Well.... Rachel hates me. I didn't let it get to me too much. I just walked to Math before I was tardy.

Then school was over. I hate my schedule. English, History, Art, P. E, Glee, Math, Biology. Like my brain does not work that early in the morning. Anyways, I found Mike at his locker. We hadn't talked all that much this morning in the car and I felt bad for dragging him through this.

"Are you sure you don't mind coming with me? I mean, you've spent a lot of time with me which can lead to bad things and I just-" he cut me off.

"Rambling is cute but not right now. I wanna hang out with you for starters, and Andy's one of my best friends and I wanna make sure he's okay" Mike assured me. Wait. Did he just say Rambling was cute?

"I can't help but feel like I'm just dragging you into this" we finally made it to the car. I hopped in the old car and started the engine as Mike buckled his seatbelt.

"That's crazy. Sorry but you're stuck with me forever now, Pearl Harbor" he smiled as I pulled out of the parking spot and back to the hospital. I walked through the automatic doors and we were escorted to Andy's room. He was sitting up with a styrofoam cup in his hand as one of the doctors talked to him."Sorry for interrupting" I apologized.

Mike slowly closed the door even though the noise didn't make a difference."Oh no. No interruptions at all. We were just talking about my release" Andy said, taking a sip from his cup.

"What?! When?" he immediately peaked my interest.

"I said the earliest is Friday. If his spirits are up, which right now doesn't seem like a problem. Usually coma patients become depressed after waking up, prior to injury or self inflicted fault" the doctor explained. 

"Well I can say I'm fine, doctor. Do I feel responsible of the accident, yes. Even though I need to know it wasn't. I understand. I'll be ready in 2 Days. Promise" Andy gave a small smile as he set the cup down. The doctor tightened his lips together in an unsure manner. I could tell he wasn't sure if he believed Andy or not, but gave in.

"Okay Andrew. I hope you get better" the doctor gave an appreciative smile and walked out the room.

"So Friday" I said with a hint of excitement in my voice as I approached my brother, who's stitches weren't raw anymore and just got off life support. Which was hard to watch but he managed.

"Friday" he said in a luxurious tone. I couldn't help but smile. I felt Mike come up next to me, making me tense up a little. I didn't know why. I've been this close, in fact closer then this, to Mike so I don't know why I'm so nervous around him now.

"I'll make it to Matt's party" he smiled. I couldn't tell if he was joking or not."What?" it was Mike who took my words away though.

"You're joking right? Cause alcohol is the last thing you need right now" Mike said in a light manner. Andy took a deep breath and exhaled quickly."See that?" his eyes flickered from Mike to me.

"I can breath again. I'll be fine" he said like it was no big deal.

"But Andy..." I whined.

"Autumnnn" he said in a longing way. I let it go.

"Not like I can stop you" I admitted. I bit the inside of my cheek. I had a habit of biting my lip, which is now still bloodstained and now I'm chewing at the inside of my mouth when I get nervous, or anxious, or scared.

"True that" he said snuggling into the bed. He stared out at the small tv on the wall playing an older episode of F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
