Evan's PoV
Laying in bed my mind wanders to Noah. He's been in a coma for weeks. I can't bring myself to stay for more than two hours, it breaks my heart seeing him there.
Groaning I sit up, hoping Amy will cheer me up."Amy?" Opening my door I walk downstairs, the smell of vanilla hitting my nose. My parents went on a business trip with Izzy, they let me stay home since Noah means a lot to me.
"Evan I made us breakfast" She sings, turning to look at me.
Reminds me of when Noah and I had breakfast together.
Smiling I make my way over to her, pulling the plate of pancakes towards me."I also made homemade strawberry jam" Winking at me she places the jar next in front of me.
Nodding I dig into the pancakes, drinking a glass of water after."Let's go see Noah today Evan..' Amy said, placing her hand on top of mine.
"I don't know.." Mumbling out I feel my chest get heavy like an elephant was sitting on me.
"Please?""Fine.." Sighing I get up, walking outside to the car.

"Hey we're back again to check on Noah" Amy smiles at the receptionist, her name is Hayley.
Nodding her head she hands us two cards."Have a good day you two" she smiles at me, then looks at Amy giving her a wink.
"Thank you" Amy mumbles out, grabbing my arm she leads us up the stairs.
"What was that Amy? Are you not telling me something?" Stopping in the hallway I put my hands on my hips."I-I don't know..I might've gotten her number and we've been texting.." She looks down at the ground, playing with her hands.
My heart fills with joy at the sight of Amy meeting someone she finds interesting.
"That's great!" Smiling I wrap my arms around her.
"Really?" She mumbles against my chest."Yes ma'am" letting go I turn around, opening the door to Noah's room.
My eyes widen at the sight in front of me. Noah's stuffing his face with oatmeal while staring at the tv.
"N-Noah?" I sob out, the tears returning again. He looks towards me with wide eyes.
"Evan?"
Running up to him I wrap my arms around him gently, crying against him. He rubs my back with his good arm trying to calm me down. Gripping his shirt tightly I continued to let the tears fall, they weren't tears of sorrow, but happiness.
Noah's awake, he's finally awake.
"It's okay Evan, I'm here" he mumbles out. His voice was deep and husky, making me smile. I missed his voice, his smile, everything.
All the terrible emotions I felt before vanished. Leaving me joyous."Evan?" Leaning back I sit down in the chair, not taking my eyes off him.
"I'm going to go get some coffee, I'll be right back." Amy walks out into the hallway, closing the door behind her.
"I can't believe you're awake.." I take in all his features that I've missed so much. Those ocean blue eyes were trained on me.
Nodding his head he looked down at his hands.
"What's wrong?"Noah looks back up at me with a small smile, "I'm sorry.." He trails off, thinking for a moment.
" About before. I don't know how to deal with those feelings""It's okay, don't worry about it. Just get better" Smiling I push aside my feelings.
"Hey guys I'm back, and guess who's here!" Turning around Amy swings the door open, holding a carrier with two coffees and a smoothie. She moves aside, revealing Justin and Damion.
Justin waves shyly while Damion immediately walks over to Noah and I.
"How're you feeling?" He smiles, giving him a pat on the shoulder.
"Could be better" Noah laughed, rubbing the back of his head.
"I asked the lady if I could have something different to eat but she kept offering me oatmeal.." He mumbled looking down at the bowl in front of him.
They all laughed together while I sat back and quietly listened. Not wanting to interrupt their conversation.
Noah's face was lit up with joy while he spoke, making my whole body feel fuzzy and warm.
