5 days. 5 days I was in a coma.
13 days I have been in the hospital. Never have I thought I could get so sick of the color white and jello cups before in my life.

"So, if everything goes according to plan, Ms. Parente, you will get to go home tomorrow," the doctor says, scribbling down on his notepad.

"Really?" I ask, excitedly.

"Yes, ma'am. You'll have to be on crutches for your leg for a while and make sure you don't do any sudden or drastic movements so you won't disturb the healing process of your ribs or hip. Once you dislocate your hip, it'll be very easy to do it again."

I nod my head, "Of course."
A grin comes to my face.

"Well, alright then. I'll get started on your paper work tomorrow. Shall I let your friends in?"

"Yes. Of course. Thank you, doctor."

"No problem." The doctor walks out and in comes Ricky, Alex, and Ryan in that order.

The day before Angelo, my parents, and Chris had came spent all day with me so I didn't really get to see the three much yesterday.

"So what did the doc say?" Ricky asks as he perches himself up on a counter top. Alex sets herself down on a chair near him, whereas Ryan gets the seat furthest away from us all in the couch next to the window. I kinda avoid looking at him as he does me.

The day I had woken up physically, he asked me if I could hear anyone who talked to me while I was in the coma. I don't know by I lied but I did and said no. Ryan looked a bit sad when I said that but then later he looked a bit relieved. Maybe he realized he didn't really love me? It was just remorse because of the fact that I was in coma from the crash and he just walked away with a broken arm and a few bruises ribs.

"I get to go home tomorrow!" I squeal.

I see Ryan smile a bit as Ricky laughs.
"Excited much?"

"Oh, hell yes. You have no clue. I'm going to get Chinese food, pop in some Tim Burton movies, and cuddle Dexter before going to sleep," I puff my chest up and raise chin as if daring them to question me.

Alex snorts. "You were legit asleep for 5 days straight."

I roll my eyes before smirking. "That's 5 more days too short."

They glare at me. All of them, including Ryan. I blink innocently at them.

"What?" I shrug with my non-bandaged shoulder. "My coma experience still way too soon to be joking about?"

"Forever would still be too soon?" Ryan mumbles as he wiggles deeper into the couch.

We laugh at his glowering.

"Anyways. We already got your Chinese food request on order. I called the place before hand and told them that they better be making some shipments because their biggest customer would be returning soon." Ricky says, grinning.

I snort before yawning.

"Looks like Sleeping Beauty is tired. We better go anyways. Ryan and I have band practice and Alex has that exam she has to prepare for." Ricky sighs.

Alex whines but stands up. "I don't want to go but I really do need to study." She walks over to my bed and hugs me. "I'll see you tomorrow. Love you, girl. Don't die on me."

I laugh and smirk. "No promises."

Ricky rolls his eyes and he plops down from his perch on the counter before coming over and hugging me.
