• 9 Months After The Accident • Layton •

Today and tomorrow will be the last days I spend in this hospital. It's been nine months but he still hasn't woken up and I'm loosing hope. I was home last night and my mom finally convinced me to come back home. Everyone was missing me, especially Sarah and my mom explained how all this time doing nothing could ruin a lot. I already lost my job and missed almost all of my senior year. I'm planning on retaking the year. I don't feel right taking the diploma and moving on with life. I doubt any collage would accept me if they knew I did that anyway. Even though all my friends graduated it shouldn't be too hard to find someone to hang out with.

I took chads hand softly. "I'm back chad. Sorry I wasn't here last night, I stayed home. Tonight will be the last night I'm staying. I'll come back and visit a couple times but I won't be around as often. Im starting school again so I'll probably only come on week-ends." I said to the sleeping figure. "Man it feels weird talking to myself. Damn..." I chuckled lightly then let got of chads hand. I stood up from my seat and pulled the blinds back from the window to let some light in then I started to clean up the flower mess. I placed the bouquet of flowers I bought in a vase then got some water from the sink and sat back down. "Can you just wake up?" I say after a few minutes of silence. "It's been way to long without you." I sigh and pull out my phone.

I send a message to chris and tell her to come to the hospital. She responds telling me she'll be here soon and when I see her pop her head into the room I smile and greet her. "Hey, you look much better since you've started going home. So tomorrow is the last day you're staying here?" She asks once she sits across from me.

"Yep, Im taking some courses so I can't be here every day anymore. I'll still come visit." I smile back at her as she hands me a card with a small box "what's this?"

"A gift. Don't open it until you get home tomorrow. What courses are you taking?" She grins and I raise my eye brow questioningly. She's acting a little weird and now I wanna know what's in the box.

"Uh I'm taking a calculus course, psychology, and a chemistry course. Just so I can keep up. I feel so far behind." Chris looks at me like I've grown a second head. I return her look.

"Why are you taking a chemistry course? You're a honours student you don't need to take that."

I laugh "I don't know it's been a while. Almost a year."

"Want other classes are you taking?"

"None, I'm only going for those classes. The school said I didn't have to stay for the full day so I didn't pick any more classes." She nodded then looked at chad.

"I'm gonna start shaking him until he wakes up I swear." Laughing I reached over the hospital bed and punched her arm.

"Shush! He is my boyfriend and if you shake him to death I'll stop being your friend."

"Do you still love him?" She asked, suddenly getting serious.

"More than anything else in the world. To tell you the truth when the doctor told me chad didn't have a strong chance of waking up I almost thought of suicide just to be with him but I talked myself out of it. I had hope he'd wake up and I still do. And when he does I'm marrying him. Even if something bad happens, like when he wakes up and looses him memories I'll still make him fall in love with me. I can't live without him."

Chris smiled at me then got up and moved other to me and hugged me. I hugged her back and smiled. I felt her shoulders jerk ever so slightly and heard her sniffle. "If you start crying I'll start crying and then we'll be just one giant mess." She laughed and pulled away, whipping her face with we hands.
