~NICOLE'S POV~

It's been two weeks. I've been on life support for the last two weeks. No one thinks i'll make it. At the beginning, they thought I was going to be in the hospital for 6-8 weeks at most. Turns out i've been here for 6 in a half months. It's unreal. The doctors don't even know how this is even possible. I'm making history I guess. I'm not brain dead of course because I wouldn't be telling you this. I miss everyone. So much. But you've heard that about a hundred times. 

Anyway, no one is in my room. They won't allow visitors apparently. Even though i'm fucking dying. Like for real this time. I laid flat on the bed. Never moved. That's what i've been told. They say if I don't wake up in the next few days then they're gonna pull the plug. I wanna wake up. I wanna look. It's almost like a dream. You can't wake yourself up but you know what you're somewhat doing. Crazy.

~2 DAYS LATER~

Nurse: "Are you ready sir?" she asked.

Doctor: "Go ahead." he replied.

C'mon Nicole wake up. 

She took a deep breathe and began to slow everything down. My body, my heart, my brain, my organs, everything.

I clenched the bed sheets and squinted my eyes. I'M DOING IT! I WAS WAKING UP!

Doctor: "WAIT-" he said shooting his eyes towards me.

Nurse: "She's waking up!" she gasped.

I moved my head from one side and moved my arm around. I kept blinking to clear my vision. 

Nurse: "Ms. Logan can you hear me hun?" she asked.

Nicole: "Yes." I said slowly opening my eyes fully. 

Doctor: "That's impossible." he said in amazement.  

The nurse began to check my vitols and speeding up the machines again. 

Nurse: "Ma'am do you remember your name?" she asked.

Nicole: "Nicole Logan, 17." I replied.

Nurse: "Perfect, do you know where you are?" she asked.

Nicole: "Hospital." I replied yet again.

Nurse: "Beautiful, how are you feeling?" she asked.

Nicole: "Perfect." I said.

She smiled and went back to checking my vitols. I could see now 100%. I could hear perfectly and feel everything I touched. I just had questions being swarmed back in my brain.

Nicole: "Where's my friends?" I asked.

Nurse: "Their in the waiting room. Would you like to see them?" she asked.

Nicole: "Please." I said. 

She nodded and left the room. I looked around and the bedroom had flowers, cards, balloons everywhere. It was heartwarming but my heart also was hurting. I didn't know why.

Nurse: "Miss, your friends are here." she introduced.

I nodded and saw their weak smiles. I smiled and started to cry.

They all began to cry. It was the whole gang that came in.

Avani: "Aw beb come here." she ran crying to me.

Avani: "We missed you so much." she whispered.

I hugged her tighter and she gave me a kiss on the cheek and pulled away. 

I took one look at Payton and began to sob. I hugged myself and curled up into a ball. Avani, Payton, Tayler, and Bryce all sat on the bed and tried to comfort me. 

Payton: "Why are you crying, princess?" he asked with tears streaming down his face.

I rested my hand on his cheek and cried and cried.

Nicole: "I'm so sorry Payton." I cried.

Payton: "Princess, why are you sorry? It was an accident." he explained.

I nodded and he pulled me into a tight hug. My the time me and Payton pulled out of the hug, everyone was balling. 

Bryce: "Took you long enough." he said laughing a bit and wiping his tears.

We all laughed and smiled.

Nicole: "Fuck I missed you guys." I said looking around.

I looked at everyone and got a good look at what everyone looked like. Everyone had lost at least 50 lbs. It broke my heart. I frowned and was scanning everyone. And I looked at Payton and Avani and I was in shock. I looked at Payton's wrists and started crying again.

Nicole: "You-You're so thin." I said stuttering and trying to hold my tears in.

Nicole: "Why did you do this?  Why are you like this? Why-How?" I asked several questions but no one answered. 

Nicole: "Avani-i." I said directing my eyes at her. 

I grabbed her hand slowly and she was freezing but yet wearing layers upon layers of clothes. 

She grabbed my hand gave me sympathy in her eyes.

Avani: "It's okay." she said raspy.

Nicole: "Please. Don't do this to yourselves." I begged when crying.

They nodded and they all hugged me at once. The nurse walked in a few minutes later.

Nurse: "You can leave tomorrow miss." she said with a smile.

Nicole: "Thank you." I said with a weak smile.

Nicole: "I have a lot of questions." I said.

Anthony: "Don't worry, we do too." he said.

Nicole: "You can ask me everything when we get home." I said.

They nodded.

Josh: "Me and Jaden can run by the house and get you some essentials." he said with a weak smile.

I nodded. They hugged me and Jaden kissed me on the forehead.

Jaden: "We missed you, so so much." he said and I grabbed his hand.

I rubbed my thumb across his hand and he smiled and they walked out. 

Nessa: "I can go get you some ice chips." she said smiling.

I nodded. 

Tayler: "Me and the boys will go get some chairs." they said and walked out.

Mads: "We'll leave you and Payton alone." she said smiling.

I smiled weakly. They walked out and now it was just me and Payton. I looked at Payton and he hasn't taken his eyes off of me. He started to tear up again.

Nicole: "Come here." I said and he came onto the bed and I layed on his chest. 

Payton: "Please, Please don't leave me again. I can't take it." he begged and held me tight.

Nicole: "Never." I said.

And before we both fell asleep he lifted my chin up.

Payton: "Nicole Logan." he started.

Nicole: "Yes?" I replied smiling.

Payton: "I am so in love with you." he finished.

It took me by surprise at first, but then I realized something that I would have never thought I would ever say.

Nicole: "I love you too." I smiled which he did too.

He placed a passionate on my lips and I fell into the kiss. He pulled away after a few seconds and I laid my back on his chest.

I love you so much.
