"He called Ry..." I sigh and fiddle with his hand. "I don't- why would he- ugh!" I stand up frustrated.

I start pacing around the room with my hands tangled in my hair. "He's acting like he didn't cause all that shit to happen." I stop pacing and look at Ryan like he's actually listening, "He's the cause for literally all my trauma!"

"I just can't for the life of me get rid of him! All he does is pop up and it's only a matter of time till he gets a new number..again, and he calls again! And he fucks up my head again. Cause he's fucking stuck and I can get him out, he fucked me up, Ryan!" I start crying hysterically.

Malachi and I met in my junior year of high school. He was new and I always made sure the new kids had a friend because I hated to see them alone. I started talking to him and it started out nice, we became friends. Then it all went downhill from there.

I shake my head not wanting to dwell on the past too much, "I'm not wasting no more time on him." I mutter to myself as I walk off to the bathroom.

I rinse my face off and take a minute to calm down. Once I'm calm I walk back into the room where Ryan was.

I had my head focused on the floor as I was walking back to my chair that was next to his bed, so I didn't notice the very much awake Ryan staring at me.

"Angel.."

My head snaps up and I smile so wide to the point where I didn't even think it was possible to smile this wide. I feel my cheeks getting wet before I can even register I'm crying.

"Ryan?" My voice cracks, "Please tell me this is not another dream." I whisper to no one in particular.

I knew it wasn't a dream when his face turned into a pout and he asked, "Why are you crying?"

I run over to his bed and gently embrace his body and when he hugs me back I squeeze even harder so he can't let go.

Oh my gosh, I quickly pull away from him causing him to look at me confused and startled, he tries to say something but nothing comes out. I quickly hand him my water and press the nurse button.

"Are you okay? Are you in pain? Should I press the button again? I'm gonna press it again. Do you want me to go get food for you? I know the food here is disgusting, you just woke up so maybe just something light? But you just woke up so maybe you really hungry, so maybe burgers-" I was about to continue until I felt Ryan's hand on my face causing me to look him in his eyes.

Something he did a lot to cut my rambling short.

"Calm down." His horse voice pushed out. Why the hell is he trying to soothe me when he just woke up from a freaking coma?

However instead of asking that I just nodded my head and held onto his hand that was on my face. I gave him a smile and engulfed him in another hug but it was quickly interrupted when the doctor and the nurses came in.

They immediately began checking on him and asked me to step out of the room which I was hesitant to do at first but I knew nothing would get done with me resisting so I stepped out. They told me to give them twenty minutes at least so I took the time to order some food from uber eats for him.
