Lucas and Johnny walked into the room. "I knew I should've waited until next week. I can't keep myself together looking at him right now." Lucas said. "No Lucas." Johnny said. "I'm sure Nathan was waiting for us to come here for a while."
"You're right."
"We miss you Peter."
"Please come back."
Johnny put two chocolate gift baskets and 5 stuffed animals near the bed. "Okay Johnny. Say what we practiced." Lucas said.
"Nathan~
It's been 5 weeks since you've been the hospital. Also how long Zachary hasn't came back to school. Your parents have been crying for weeks now. Don't worry, we've comforted them. The day that we found out this, Zachary came and apologized to us and begged us to forgive him. Which we did."
Lucas began to talk.
"Afterwards we couldn't wait much longer of not seeing you everyday. Peter shook our hands in accepting our orientations. It was pretty magical. But it wasn't as happy as your smile that we see everyday. Your smile always brighten our day. The day we met you was a very special day to us. No one has ever really wanted to talk to us until you did. Which we thank you for. You're a true hero. The definition of hero does not mean a buff guy who is really strong. It means Nathan. A helpful friend who helps others that can't help their selves. The school heard about this and made an area just for you. After every period, we all go there to pray that you come back. It was Zachary's idea. Sadly he doesn't come. We miss you a lot Nathan. Please, please come back. We need you back at McBride High. The seniors helped out with the whole ceremony at the basketball game a week ago. It was not only respectful but beautiful.
(They both had tears in their eyes)
Thank you Nathan for giving us the best time of our lives. Every moment with you was amazing. This isn't goodbye because we know that you'll come back to us. This is more of hello. Come back. Millions of hugs are waiting for you." Lucas cried. They hugged Nathan and felt him hug back. They smiled and kissed his hand and genuflected out the door.
