(Yes, Ed Sheeran again. Some of his songs really appeal to this story. Plus, I love him.)

Entry 9 (Calum)

It's been five days since Stephanie has fallen into her coma. Doctors think she should wake up in the next two days, if not that, the next nine.

Nurses are saying she's in perfect health- or at least as good of health as you can be in coma. Her breathing is constant, heart beat is normal. That's at least good.

I basically haven't left her side since she fell into this damned thing. I've been hope twice in four days, and one of them is because Luke, Mike, and Ashton literally picked me up and took my home.

"Steph, I really miss you. I wish you would wake up, and I know I've said this about a million-" I start to say, but then I'm cut off by my six friends running into the room.

"Hi, Calum." Luke says. He walks over to me and grabs ahold of my shoulders. Michael take my waist and Ashton takes my feet. They hoist my up onto their shoulders and start to walk.

"Hello, nurses. We're taking Calum home with us this time." Luna says. "We appreciate what you're doing for Stephanie."

"And that you're letting him stay much longer than he should be." Avery says.

"But he must go home. Take a shower, eat a home cooked meal, regain his sanity." Izzy says.

"Yeah? Well I'll be back!" I say from my uncomfortable position on my friends' shoulder.

"Yeah, shut up!" Luke says.

"I will! And when I get down from here, I will define rely just run back here!" The boys start walking.

"Calum, you need to go home every once in a while." Ash says.

"Take good care of your friend!" One of the nurses yells.

"We'll take care of Calum if you take care of Steph!" Izzy yells.

"Deal!" We take a turn into the large elevator and I'm still not put down. There are two doctors and someone else working here, and a patient in here as well. The seven of us are awkwardly looking around, hoping they don't ask of the teenager on three of their shoulders.

"Um, may I ask, why is there a boy on your shoulders?" One of the doctors asks.

Damn you.

"That's a funny story." Avery says. Obviously, the girls were the talkers and the guys were the lifters.

"You see, our friend named Stephanie, is in a coma. She is dating this boy in their shoulders. He never goes home. Every time we tell him we're retiring home, he says he'll stay a little longer. We come back in the morning, he's asleep in her room." Izzy says.

"So, we came up with the idea to just charge him in her room, pick him up, and take him away. They have a good hold on him, so he can't fall off." Luna explains.

"Why your shoulders?"

"Because we figured it would be easiest for us." Ashton says. I smack him on the head and he winces. "Ow."

"Oh I didn't hit you that hard."

"It hurt!"

"Boys!" Avery calms us down.

"Anyway, that is why he's not walking. We must go now." Luna quickly says and we shuffle off of the elevator. Once we get outside, we stand in a patch of grass and they count to 3.

They drop me once they get to 3 and I land of the ground with a hard thud. It knocks the wind out of me and I can't breathe.

"C'mon, Cal, let's go home." Michael says.

"That was cruel." I say and get up.

That was yesterday. Today, I'm back at Stephanie's side, just as I promised. I'm not saying anything, I'm just sitting with her, holding her hand. A nurse walks in. She sighs and gives me a pitiful smile.

"You know, it was much easier to work without you here yesterday." She says.

"Sorry." I say, but I make no other movements to get out of her way.

"She's your girlfriend, right?"

"Yeah."

"You love her?"

"Very much."

"How you told her that?"

"Not while she's been awake.Bit I've been telling her everyday since she fell into this god damned coma." I fell bad for cursing in front of her, but she did nothing.

"Do you believe she can hear you?"

"Well, during a coma, the brain is unresponsive, correct?"

"Yes."

"But that doesn't mean she still can't hear and understand me."

"So she knows now?"

"Yeah, I think Stephanie knows I love her now."

"Alright. I'm done checking up on her." The nurse leaves and I'm left with my unresponsive girlfriend.

And although, she hasn't told me she loves me back, I've told her.

That's all that matters.

A/N: aw calum.

WHEN DO YOU THINK STEPH WILL WAKE UP?

UPDATE! It's Friday and I'm happy.

Hope you enjoyed! See you next update!
