"Alright guys. Place the gifts on the left, right, and front of the bed." Mike instructed. There were 15 guys in total. 5 went on the left, 5 went on the right, and five went in the front. Then Mike placed a teddy bear on Nathan's lap and made Nathan's hands rap around it. "Chris, read the letter." Mike said. Chris was a 6'8 jock who was wearing all black like the rest of them. Chris cleared his throat.
"Nathan,
We know it's been a bad year, but we didn't think that this would come up. As you remember us hitting you with baseball bats AND almost killing you the by drowning you in a pool. I'm sure all of us thought that was the reason why you are in the hospital. We're sorry Nathan. But we're not the only ones who are having nightmares from your accident. Zachary is. He hasn't been in school since the day you went into the hospital. It's obvious to say that he still loves you. Please don't die Nathan. Even though we know that's not possible, but we want you to come back. Start fresh. All of us here were stupid to not notice that you are a person too. If we were the cause of you purposely walking in front of that car, then we are sorry. Just know this, we're here. Here for you. We have a basketball game coming in a few weeks. We'll win for you. Dedicating the game to you.
(They all pounded their chests 2x)
We love and care for to Nathan. Please come back.
From the School.
Mike wiped his tears. "Are you crying?" A jock asked. "No! I'm allergic to lavender." Mike lied. They lined up and to shake Nathan's hand. Nathan was still in the coma but listened to everything. He did as he did with everyone else, and squeezed their hand back meaning that he heard. When the 15 jocks left, Mike hugged Nathan and ran out.
