Freshman Fish Are Friends, Not Food

4 years later

Katelynns POV

My alarm went of with its usual annoying buzzing sound and I hurriedly reached over to turn it off. I guess I should stop pressing snooze. I weakly got out of bed and smelt waffles. Next thing I knew I nearly killed myself running down the stairs, almost tripping over Louis, my cat. I walked into the kitchen to see my dad standing there, He turned to smile and delive the waffles to my plate. I quickly ate them as he reminded me that I was meeting my relator at 12 to sign on the new house I was getting.  I ran upstairs with less of a danger rate and got dressed, wearing skinny jeans, a tan sheer top, and matching cream heels. My style had changed alot since my freshman year, but I was alot thinner now. I figured I would be even more thin since my collage campus was very spread out and I would be walking around. I looked at the clock, 11:30. I should leave now and hopfully I would be on time. I got up and waved to my dad who was still cooking waffles for himself now. I got in my car and drove about 40 minutes to the house. Late again. I walked up hurriedly and after we had all the papers signed we went out for lunch. As I got my sandwich and sat down I looked up to see the news was on. Ew. I sat there listening to the older man spit out headlines and all I could manage to thing was 'Why do I care?' and 'Oh, thats sad..' I quickly lost interest and returned to my phone to check on Facebook. As I finished scrolling down my newsfeed I heard a new lady talking on the screen ahead of me. "Today has been a very emotional day for the family of Cody Fleatcher, a young teenage boy who was tramatized into a coma four years ago, has awakened today at Memorial Hospital around 3:30 this morning..." Her voice trailed off as I blanked out. I shivered in terror. I immediatly excused myself saying it was an emergancy and without even getting a response, I flew out the door and was on my way to the hospital. 

I ran inside and towards the front desk, I went through the same procedure as I did 4 years ago, but instead of turning me down, they let me in. I walked into the room to see Kelly, Cody's mom sitting by the bed talking to him until she saw me walk in. She looked up and smiled. I returned her smile as she got up and walked over to me. 'Hey dear, so nice to see you...' she said faintly, I could barely hear her. I nodded and looked over to Cody. 'How....." I couldnt get out what I wanted to say because I was still out of beath and in shock. "How..Is he..." My question barely made it out before I started to fight back tears. She smiled. "Well, not so good." She was crying now. I just stood there and looked into her eyes as she explained the latest events to me. "He doesnt remeber anyone. Not his friends, family memebers..." she stopped. "Or me..." She said. I sighed as she walked out of the room. I looked over to Cody to see him staring back at me. I smiled and walked over to take a seat by his bed. "Hi." I said. What was I doing? I have waited for over four years for this moment and 'Hi' was all I could say. REALLY?! He smiled. Do..Uh, Do you...Erm, Remem-" I could hold back any more tears, I cryed. I put my hands over my face and looked down trying to hide myself the best I could. "Hello.?" I heard his voice and my head shot up. His voice had changed. It was deeper, it was more...complex. I smiled at the sound of his voice for the first time in what seemed like forever. I smiled. "Do you remember me?" My question got out this time, with less studders. He smiled and nodded. "How could I forget you?" I sat there, paraliezed. How could he remember me? It had been four years since we last talked, and we just had started to know eachother. He didnt even remeber his own mother or father or best friends that he had known forever...But he had remebered me... 

X POV

"Hello?"  I wispered. She had been sitting there for awhile, just looking down, not moving, not blinking, nothing. She looked up suddenly, as if she had forgotten I was there and I had suddenly teleported in front of her eyes. I couldnt help but chuckle at that one. 

"Sorry.." she said. Why was she being like this, I know it was a long time, but now everything could go back to how it was..PLEASE let everything go to how it was.

"Are you ok?" She looked at me, with sorrow that filled her eyes..I ouldnt help but feel her pain. I couldn't even look at her. She nodded.

"I'm-Uh- Just really- just" She stopped and shook her head. Why is she being so emotional? Everything can go back to how it was now. 

"Calm down.." I reached over to sroke her hand, which made more tears fall from her eyes. "Everything will be ok." She looked at me with mixed emotions, sorrow, and anger where only a few I could make out before she shocked me.

"WHAT? No Cody, I don't think you understand. It has been FOUR YEARS. You missed so much, I'm in COLLEGE now, we arent 15 anymore, We are both 19. Were adults. So many things have happened, have changed and you werent there! Things cant be the same!" She stopped as she wept. I looked down. What has happened? Is this real?

 KATELYNNS POV

I left, I  couldnt do this anymore. Seeing him, want to change everything...I hadn't even told him about Blake yet...What would he do? What would he say? Would he be mad? I mean, it wasnt like I was supposed to stay single forever and wait on him...Gosh..What have I done? WHAT DO I DO???

Cody's POV

What? She just left. Without a second thought, I sat up and stood out of my bed, only to be held back by tubes and needles. Everything started to buzz as a nurse came in, helping me back to my bed. "I'm sorry dear, you can't leave just yet.." I panicked "No, No I have to go-" She cut me off. "You'll be able to go home in a couple of weeks, you still have to recover, Just sit down and relax sweetie" I sighed. 

Katelynn's POV

I went to my new home and slammed my keys on my granite countertops. I was beyond mad. Beyound upset. Beyond hurt. And waaay beyond confused. I didnt know what to do. I went into my kitchen and got out a tub of ice cream. Once I had made a huge bowl, and eaten every bit of it, I looked up at my clock. Was it really 1 in the morning? I had school tomorrow, but I knew there was no hope in getting any sleep for the night. I knew I would be hitting up Starbucks at least 3 times. I got up and decided to try and sleep. I went into my bedroom and took a long, hot shower, brushed my teeth, took off what was left of my makeup, and layed down. I twas now 2:38 and I knew I had to get uo in a couple hours. I stared at my door, the walls of my room, my empty house was hollow, and smelt of Pinesol cleaner. As I sat there thinking, I tried to unravel these peices in my head. I would go see Cody tomorrow, I would have to appologize and tell him about everything. About school, about my new house, and about Blake...my new boyfriend. I groaned, What was he going to think? Four years, God knows that I did nothing but wait by his bedside for 2 whole years, just hoping he'd come back, but he never did. How was I supposed to explain this to him? Just then my alarm went off, sending my thoughts into a clutter. I got up and got myself dressed, and headed for Starbucks. 

Cody POV

Today they gave me a test. Geez, I wake up from a 4 year coma and their already putting me back in school? They said they needed to see how much of the material I remebered, after the frst few questions, everything started coming back to me and I easily finished it. Thank goodness I was dumb. They said that since I was somehow up a few gradeleveks that I should be, all I had to do was complete a few more high school level classes and I could be able to move up to the college level. Once all that was over, I was begining to eat lunch, when Katelynn walked in. She smiled weakly, carrying Starbucks in her hand I could tell her got no sleep last night, just like I did. I sat up and analyzed her. She had changed, Her hair had gotten longer, I was mid torso length now, I was a lighter blonde, like she alway had it, except for in the winter when she would have it a darker brown. She was tall, and thin. Her style looked completel different, she wore a soft pink sheer top with a floowy skirt and nude colored heels. Her hair was slighty curled, and her face was clear, and profound. She was still beautiful to me. She sat in one of the three chairs nect to my bed, my eyes followed her there. She finnally spoke. "I-I'm really- uhm, I'm really sorry about yesterday.." she managed to get out. "What happened?" I asked a little faster and eagerly than I wanted to. She took and deep breathe and shut her eyes. "I just..theirs alot, and...I'm just..and your.." she stopped. I looked down, feeling so vulnerable. I wanted to help her i some way, but there wasnt anything I could do, she was right. This was just too much
