''Yes and then, Jenna was all like, I don't need a partner when I have y'all around me, it's exhausting enough!'' Brooke laughed while they all told Michael what he missed.

Brooke who was so excited to see her guy best friend finally happy and awake, that she made a list with every single funny conversation, situation and in general every action.
Michael was, to be honest, not even able to follow all the words from everyone but was glad they actually cared and didn't forget him at all.

''Oh I almost forgot that!'' Christine suddenly said and grabbed after something in her bag which was stand next to her on the floor and put out a present and gave it to Michael.
''Oh god.'' Jeremy laughed when his girlfriend grinned widely at Michael who seemed like he didn't know how to react.
''Thanks Chrissy but, for what?'' Michael gulped and looked carefully at the present in his hands.
''You'll see. Now open it!'' The girl squealed excited and the boy opened it as careful as possible, like there was something inside which could easily break.
''You won't be able to break it, except you use fire.'' Rich, who was finally able to use his past as a joke, laughed and Michael looked at him.
''Wait, you know what it is?!'' The taller one asked confused and Rich nodded while laughing even more.
''Everyone does!'' He admitted and Michael sighed, finally ripping away the paper around the present.

Which turned out as a photo album from the past years until now.
''How-- when-- why--?'' Michael felt how his eyes filled a little bit with tears while he looked at each of his friends.
''It was Christine's and Rich's idea, ask them.'' Jenna shrugged and Michael directly turned to Rich who smirked a bit.
''When? How? Why? What?'' Michael almost shouted and everyone bursted out in laughing, the boy blushing a lot because of that.
''Look at it, read the first page.'' Christine smiled, knowing this will probabaly end in a giant group hug and a lot of tears.
''Okay.'' Michael nodded and opened the first page, directly recognizing Rich's handwriting on the paper.

When you read this, you're probabaly awake, finally.
This isn't a normal album, blame Christine on that, it's something you should remember in the deepest times, moments when you feel alone or just sad in general.
Even though I wish for you that you will never be sad again or anything, I know that that's a part of life so yes, live your emotions how you want.
No one can take that away from you!
(And if someone tries to,we can kick their ass ;))
Anyways, have fun with crying while reading all that (in my opinion kitschy) stuff everyone wrote inside. Oh and yup, there are sometimes picture here inside somewhere.
I love you you idiot, now go on read and look at everything!
-Rich

After Michael read this, he felt how his eyes filled with tears and almost jumped at Rich before he hugged him.
''I told you you'll cry.'' Rich whispered and Michael slapped him a little bit on his arm and the shorter one laughed.
''Shut up!'' Michael cried and sat back at his place.
''Never!''
''I hate you.''
''I love you too.''

After a bit of time, Michael opened the second page and knew there was no one who could write more pretty than Christine.

Hi!
I'm SO glad you're awake, we all missed you so much and it was really hard without you.
(Oh lord you don't wanna know how Rich was, never. Again.)
You are the person who can always  safe the day and make everyone around feel better, I'm SO lucky to be friends with someone as kind, funny, trustworthy and caring like YOU!
To be honest, this entire time you were in the coma was the worst one in my life! 
I think everyone was suffering under it but we all don't even know or can't even what you were going through so if you ever want to talk to someone about it, I'm here and always will be!
