A/N yeah I'm really bored, second update of the day:) and also third to last chapter:) next chapter will probably be posted soon after:)-Piper
He's been in a coma for two months as of today. The doctors don't think he will ever wake up. And it broke me inside, but I needed to stay strong. Ryan would want me to. So that's what I did.
Everyday I became more brave. The Friday after I talked in front of the lunch period, I read my story aloud in English, and received a wide applause. That next week, I made another little friend. Her name is Bertha. She's really kind and sweet, and super supportive of me. Earlier this week, I was able to make a presentation in class without a single fear or shake.
      I began visiting Ryan again everyday. I told him of each accomplishment, everything that had happened in school, and each day he gave some sort of recognition, whether it was in my mind or not, I didn't know. Sometimes it would be a rapid heartbeat, others an imaginary hum. Each time it made me feel even more encouraged.
      Today I was sitting by his bed. It was a normal Saturday, well now it was, I would spend all day with him, talking even though he probably doesn't hear me. It's a way to talk about the things that are too personal for Bertha or too weird. Somethings just aren't interesting.
        "So anyway, it turns out Mr. Tatanako is going to get married to another woman," I said, "He says he doesn't love her as much, but he says he still loves this new woman very much. There's a rumor that she's already pregnant." His face looked exactly the same. I imagined what he would say. Maybe "Wow, really?" Or "I bet they'll get divorced within a month. It'll never last, he loved his past wife too much." Or maybe some sassy remark. He'd always know what to say that would make me laugh. "Anyway," I continued, "We had a lot of homework on Thursday. You'love really have a lot to make up, I mean, there's only like a week left of school. Oh man, there's only like a week left of school!"
      That's when it happened. His heartbeat quickened. And it didn't stop. "Nurse! Doctor! Somebody!" I yelled. A nurse came rushing in. "Ryan," I said, pointing toward the machine. The nurse's eyes widened as the doctor came in.
      "What is it-oh," the doctor said, "You need to leave." He was looking straight at me.
      "Why?!" I exclaimed.
      "Now," the doctor said, pushing me out of the room. I was moved to the floor waiting room and sat there. Waiting. And waiting. And waiting.
        I had been waiting for at least an hour when a nurse came and got me. "He's waking up," she whispered to me as we walked to the room. And I broke into a run, then a sprint.
      I slid into the room. I heard a normal heartbeat on the machine and a doctor was standing by him. I ran over to the other side of Ryan's bed and looked down at him.
      His face was regaining some color. His eyes began to flutter. My heart skipped a beat. "Ryan," I whispered.
      "Felicia," he croaked out, his eyes slightly open. My heart nearly exploded inside of me. He was okay. He was alive. He was awake.
      "I'll leave you two alone and go call his parents," the doctor said, leaving the room.
      "Ryan," I smiled. I leaned down and kissed him.
      Yep. That's right. I kissed him. And he kissed back.
      "Felicia," he said breaking off the kiss, "Why?"
      "I was wrong, you were right. You've been in a coma for two months, and I've grown. The other day, I made a report in class and-"
      "I know," he cut me off, "I heard it all. It was like some outside voice was talking to me in my sleep. But what does that have to do with kissing me?"
       "I want to be your girlfriend," I replied, "I want to go through with this. We're young, and that was a stupid thing to fight over, oh it was all my fault. I'm sorry, I was a terrible friend, making you see me afraid everyday. I'm sorry, and I'm ready to go forward. Ryan, I'm ready to face my feelings. I love you."
        "I love you too," he replied, kissing me again.
