Previously:
“Trust me, you’re way more important than parents who pretend to care. And plus they were getting on my nerves. I didn’t want to deal with them anymore.”

We talked for a while after that about random things and what we missed while being in the coma. I found out that he didn’t live too far from here. We also planned that he would come up here once I got released which wouldn’t be too much longer.

Now:
After talking to Luke again about Kenza coming also I was super excited for them to come. We had decided that we would wait for Kenza to get everything at Luke’s situated and then when I was out of the hospital they would come stay for a few days, maybe a week or two.

Right now I’m still in my hospital room watching some stupid movie on the tiny TV in the corner. I’m not really paying much attention to it so I have no clue what’s even happening.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3erYLLvXB
It’s super boring in this hospital and I don’t understand why I can’t go home already, there’s obviously nothing wrong with me.

Just then there was a knock at the door. Who could that be? The doctor and nurse’s don’t knock and neither do my parents. “Come in.” I say, still wondering who it could be. In walked two boys who looked to be about my age. The first one is tall, taller than the other at least, with brownish shaggy hair. The other one is dressed like a jock, with bleach blonde hair. They both look like they could be players and really dumb. Although that’s what they look like I know that looks aren’t everything and that they could be super smart and have long term girlfriends.

“Hey, bro!” The tall one says, walking towards me with his hand up as if he wanted a high five.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs57exZ3zyD
“Hi…..bro.” I reply and collide our hands together in a high five. I hesitated to say bro because I have no clue how to act around whoever these boys are.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxBZq0whO9
“Yo, hows it?” The shorter blonde asks.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCVDBPFCQB
“Umm, well I’m in a boring hospital so…” I say trailing of.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4X0QsktIo
The tall one sits on the end of my bed while the blonde is still standing. “You gunna stand all day, Will?” The tall one sitting says to the other.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NyXs4nq0s
Then the light bulb lights up in my head, these two boys are Peter and Will. My friends from before the coma. I had completely forgotten about them, I was too worried about my other friends that I forgot I had friends in real life.

Will then sits down in the chair against the wall across the room. “You know you can pull it closer, right?” I say laughing.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaI98vefU5
“Yeah, dude. What you doin’ over there?” Peter says, joining my laughter.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNiQXjKyEZ
Will pulls the chair closer and now we were sitting in a sorta triangle circle thing.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUmKZACKtB
“So I’ve obviously been out of it for a while, what’s been going on with you two?” I ask the two of them.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSeGN8I9j6
“Starting right after you went into the coma I was given your spot as quarterback, sorry about that.” Wil starts. Well that explains the Jock look on him, he’s the star quarterback.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq9pgkiAIA
“Dude, there’s no need to apologize. We needed to win and there’s no way I could play.” I say laughing.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8Ieu5JCbe
“But don’t count on keeping that position, I’ll be back next year to take what’s rightfully mine.” I say jokingly causing us all to burst out laughing, loudly.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6SthCa6AF
After our laughter seized Will continued telling me about his life during my coma. “I have a girlfriend also, it’s been almost one year. I haven’t gotten my license yet, after watching what happened to you I’ve been too scared to even drive a car. Also I’m barely passing 10th grade.”
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9NHoS975D
“Well congrats on your girlfriend! And I don’t blame you for not driving, I don’t think I’ll ever learn to drive after this, it’s gunna be a challenge to even get in a car without being scared for my life.” I say to them. Even thinking about being in a car is bothering me now, but I know I’ll have to get over it soon.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwskaOCADUb
“I’m not scared like you guys are, but being in a car longer than 10 minutes does start to bother me, the longer I’m in the car the worse it gets.” Peter chimes in.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwF6r2k6QT
“Well I guess we’re all fucked up because of one stupid dumb driver.” I say.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCkx9pUUa7
“Yeah.” Peter says and Will just nods in agreement.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9JbnOubdt
“Besides the whole car thing, what about your life Peter?” I ask, turning to look at Peter.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49XAEaj1PM
“Well I quit the football team, but I still go to all the games to cheer on this dude.” He says pointing to Will. “I’m actually bi, and single. Ummm, I don’t know what else you missed….” He trails off. “You got anything else to add Will?” He ask and we both turn to look at him. He’s bi? Well good for him, it’s not like I would care if he was straight or not.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0YHjxMaaB
He shakes his head and says “Nope, I think you covered it. What about you Puck? I mean I know you were in a coma but was there anything interesting in your coma?”
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlLS0lJO7j
“What the hell are you talking bout? He was in a coma it was like he was just sleeping.” Peter says.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcwDGyoX9x
“Actually,” I cut in, “It was like I never was in a coma.”
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG52CTszimz
“Now what the hell are you going on about?” Peter ask me, turning their attention onto me.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcIU00Ay2b
“Okay so I kinda remember that day I got hit but I don’t remember getting hit, we all avoided getting hit and just went to my house like we were planning to.”
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lSuQzCVuW
“What the..” Peter starts and trails off.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJNAGdswzz
“Fuck.” Will finishes for him.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV7m0kxJqB
“But wait, there’s more.” I say laughing and then when they don’t join in I continue on with what happened to me. “After that day we kinda fell apart, the three of us all went our separate ways. But then I became real good friends with these two girls and one guy. And it was just like I was living this life but then we all went to sleep one night and we all woke up in different hospitals from being in comas. And before you ask, yes they are real two of them are actually coming to see me sometime soon.”
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHhso6aGOQ
“Dudee, that’s crazy and kinda cool!” Peter says. “I don’t know if I should feel bad about us not being friends but it sounds so cool that I can’t be mad or anything.”
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY31HKVv2LL
“Same. Same bro.” Will agrees.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3zo3hbIuC
“Kinda off subject but I’m curious, on a scale of 1-10 how attractive are your friends from the coma?”
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYE1NdkbcF
“Peter! Stop being a typical guy and always thinking about dating and hooking up.” Will says while trying to not laugh.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy5ulmCi0e
“Since we’re on the subject, Peter, have you dated anyone since 8th grade?” I ask him. I was curious if he dated any guys before and also if he’s had another girlfriend besides the one he had at the beginning of 8th grade.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4fapVUCP4
“Naw, but I have kissed a few people. We played spin the bottle at some party last summer.”
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAGc6FYt2G
“I’m not gunna ask you that, Will, since you have a girlfriend.” I say laughing. “But I will ask who this girl is and what she’s like.”
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaYsHAaxPM
“Her names Kylee and she’s really nice and smart. She’s a year younger than us but she’s in my math class.”
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw929PKUjc
“She sounds great.” I say because I have no clue how to respond to that. Will just nods in agreement.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi31UYVjrzW
“How bout you Puck? In that false/real thing you lived did you have a girlfriend?” Peter asks me.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmLVIpGGif
“Nope! Still completely single.”
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhPOZ0D8lm
“Of course. I should have known that, Mr. Never had a Girlfriend.” Peter mocks me.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSJrRvJer2
“Hey! At least still play football!” My comeback wasn’t good at all but I couldn’t think of anything else and a bad comeback is better than no comeback at all. Right?
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNnAzM3dyM
“Whatever.” He says and we all burst out laughing.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEz79x4nou
For the rest of the day we just hung out and talked as friends do. We caught up on each others lives. I know knew them as if I had never been in a coma. I also told them all about my life in the coma. They were a bit shocked by Aviana having a baby but they were cool about it. Peter made me describe my other three friends in specific detail. He says Luke sounds cute and I just laughed. He made me tell him why I laughed and I said it was because I was sure there was something between Luke and Kenza. He laughed then and said “We’ll see about that.” Peter just laughed at us.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNATahr4K9Y
We made plans to hang out again soon and they gave me their numbers. I still don’t have a phone so I need to get one soon but for now I can use the hospital one in my room.
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpYqnE00u1
I was wore out from basically doing nothing all day so I just laid down in bed and watched more stupid movies on the TV until I fell asleep.
