Song: Far from home (Raven) by Sam Tinnez

Andy's POV:

I continue to visit her. Taking her different music to listen to...reading her different books...even a few personal poems...songs that I have written. I even take in the guitar on some days hoping that something will trigger her brain and she will just mysterious wake up. I have gotten really close to her mom...so close that she has told me so much about her growing up and even brought in pictures of her childhood...it's like I know everything about her as if we actually grew up together.

I have never gotten this close to someone. I continue to pray every day for her...hoping that one day she will just open her eyes and see me there with her. Of course it might freak her out considering that she has never met me.

I finish out the school year and start working officially at the nursing home as a physical therapist. I also continue to work on the farm...helping wherever they need me. It's hard to believe a whole year has gone by and she is still sleeping in her deep sleep. I walk into her room and there she is just as beautiful as ever.

Yes...still laying in the same position. I walk over to move the curtain some to get the sun out of her face not that it really matters but if it was me I wouldn't want it in my face. I turn around and walk over to her placing the ear buds in her ears to let her hear the beat to the music and then I start massaging her.

Her arms are completely healed now and you can barely see some of the scars. Some are still so vibrant and I know they will be there for the rest of her life. When I am finished...I brush her hair out. Not that it is a mess or anything but it just seems like one of those things that need to be done.

When I am done with that, I take the ear buds out and set my phone off to the side on the table. I grab my guitar and then sit in the chair by her bed and start to play. I look up at her every now and then thinking that she will be smiling right back at me...saying that she loves my song choice for the day...but nothing. I start another song...figured one more won't hurt...it's not like I got any plans for tonight.

When I stop, I hear a quiet voice. I glance up and she has her eyes open...looking right at me...holy shit...soft brown eyes glisten right back at me."Oh my god...you...you are awake!" I hurriedly put my guitar down and stand up next to her.

"Why did you stop playing...it was nice...where am I? Kade what are you doing here?"

I move closer to her so that she can get a better look at me. "I'm Andy..."

"Oh....sorry I thought...I thought you were someone else." She tries to sit up.

"It's ok...I'm just the therapist...please don't try to get up let me go get the doctor."

"Doctor...no...I...I...don't need a doctor...I'm fine. Where am I?"

"You are in a nursing home...you been in a coma."

"What...seriously...for how long?"

"It's been almost two years...look you really don't need to get up. Your body is not use to walking...it's not ready for that." I keep trying to coax her back into the bed but she keeps trying to get up. So I let her and of course the moment she tries to stand up she falls right into my arms.

"Shit...why can't I just stand up?" She practically yells at me.

"You have been here for quite some time...being in the coma might have caused a few other problems...come on get back in bed." I help her back in and she starts to cry. "You are going to be alright you know...it's just going to take time getting your body to do what you want."I hand her a tissue and then text her mom to come up there. Maybe if she sees her, it will calm her down.

"I feel like I need to use the restroom."

"Well...they have a catheter in you so...let me get the nurse see what they want to do." I buzz the nurse instead of going out of the room. I just have a feeling it's her way of attempting to get me out of there so she can try to get back up.

"Yes...Andy...can we get you something?" the older lady's voice comes on the speaker. They already know it's me because I have been coming here for so long.

"I need one of the nurses please...looks like our Sophie is awake and needs some assistance."

"She is awake...are you pulling my leg boy...don't make me come down there."

"I'm serious...Mable...either come down yourself of send someone and let the doctor know she is awake."

"I told you I don't want a doctor....I'm fine."

I look down at her and give her one of my lopsided smiles. "I know you say you are alright but they need to know you are awake. I'm sure he will be wanting to d some test just make sure everything is working properly."

When the door opens not only does Mable come in but a few other nurses and the doctor. Sophie looks like she is about to panic with all the commotion. I get kinda pushed aside as the nurses are checking vitals and everything else.

Sophie's POV:

I don't know how long I have been asleep but I don't feel well rested that is for sure. My head actually throbs and my body aches all over like I have been hit a couple of times of like I jumped off a cliff...I know I did not jump this time...I didn't. Someone keeps strumming cords on a guitar and it sounds pretty good...then that voice.

I heard that voice before but I can't seem to place it. It's so soothing. I attempt to open my eyes a few times but everything is so blurry. When the music stops...I just want it to continue. "Please don't stop." I barely get out in a whisper.

"Oh my god...you...you are awake!" A voice says back...

Oh my god it's Kade...what the hell is he doing here. I thought he left me for good and he is here...no way. "Why did you stop playing...it was nice...where am I? Kade what are you doing here?"

He stands up and gets closer to me "I'm Andy..."

I close my eyes briefly before looking back into those eyes. He is right...he is not Kade. His eyes are a dark blue storm...mystery lies underneath. "Oh....sorry I thought...I thought you were someone else." I try to sit up but my body is not cooperating at all.

I manage to slide over to the edge of the bed. I just need to get up and then I can find a way to escape the hell out of here. He gets close to me, blocking me from not getting off the bed. "It's ok...I'm just the therapist...please don't try to get up let me go get the doctor."

"Doctor...no...I...I...don't need a doctor...I'm fine. Where am I?"

"You are in a nursing home...you been in a coma."

I stop and look up at him like he has got to be freaking kidding. "What...seriously...for how long?"

"It's been almost two years...look you really don't need to get up..." He trails on and on. I don't bother hearing him because I just want to get out of here. But my body tells me something different. The moment I slide out of bed...I slide right into his waiting arms. My legs do not want to work, what the hell.

"Shit...why can't I just stand up?"

"You have been here for quite some time...being in the coma might have caused a few other problems...come on get back in bed.He hands me a tissue like that is going to help anything. I got to freaking get out of here so I tell him that I need to use the restroom. "Well...they have a catheter in you so...let me get the nurse see what they want to do." He reaches over for the buzzer thing and buzzes the nurse.

 "Yes...Andy...can we get you something?" the older lady's voice comes on the speaker.

"I need one of the nurses please...looks like our Sophie is awake and needs some assistance."

Our Sophie...what the hell. Who is this guy? First of all I don't belong to anyone and how in the hell does he go and say our Sophie...this guy has lost his freakin' mind and they say I am the one that needs help. "I told you I don't want a doctor....I'm fine."

He gives me this look like I am the crazy one. "I know you say you are alright but they need to know you are awake. I'm sure he will be wanting to d some test just make sure everything is working properly."

Several nurses come in and then I see the doctor. My head starts to throb even more from all the freaking people in here. It hurts so bad that I just want to close my eyes and go back to where ever I have been for the past few years.
