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.
932Please respect copyright.PENANAkCKzljMeop
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.
932Please respect copyright.PENANAtckfpL1yPB
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.
932Please respect copyright.PENANAwu36ertozu
“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.
932Please respect copyright.PENANAZyZPG9INzO
“Yo, hows it?” The shorter blonde asks.
932Please respect copyright.PENANAcPhalcNvGY
“Umm, well I’m in a boring hospital so…” I say trailing of.
932Please respect copyright.PENANAjpaSLMQSS9
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.
932Please respect copyright.PENANATYwl6nvabH
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.
932Please respect copyright.PENANAxmEDDIHiYS
Will then sits down in the chair against the wall across the room. “You know you can pull it closer, right?” I say laughing.
932Please respect copyright.PENANA8LolbLYwsQ
“Yeah, dude. What you doin’ over there?” Peter says, joining my laughter.
932Please respect copyright.PENANAgJMAMyKewE
Will pulls the chair closer and now we were sitting in a sorta triangle circle thing.
932Please respect copyright.PENANA8xKrhhGyvq
“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.
932Please respect copyright.PENANAw5GPHfGyI8
“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.
932Please respect copyright.PENANASHhfiZARUb
“Dude, there’s no need to apologize. We needed to win and there’s no way I could play.” I say laughing.
932Please respect copyright.PENANA0ImjGZPG8E
“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.
932Please respect copyright.PENANACw66dbN064
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.”
932Please respect copyright.PENANA3D96vPGXe3
“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.
932Please respect copyright.PENANA6r7mQIhyY0
“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.
932Please respect copyright.PENANAX9QCSkCPrw
“Well I guess we’re all fucked up because of one stupid dumb driver.” I say.
932Please respect copyright.PENANA5SpK3ZpHyJ
“Yeah.” Peter says and Will just nods in agreement.
932Please respect copyright.PENANAUQ5KzzENQ5
“Besides the whole car thing, what about your life Peter?” I ask, turning to look at Peter.
932Please respect copyright.PENANAw7iUkcvfIs
“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.
932Please respect copyright.PENANAFET3G6VcIj
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?”
932Please respect copyright.PENANAZAFKKZzwn0
“What the hell are you talking bout? He was in a coma it was like he was just sleeping.” Peter says.
932Please respect copyright.PENANAMsOr0EKP1e
“Actually,” I cut in, “It was like I never was in a coma.”
932Please respect copyright.PENANAPTJ1hVFKq2
“Now what the hell are you going on about?” Peter ask me, turning their attention onto me.
932Please respect copyright.PENANA9WKRioOSh6
“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.”
932Please respect copyright.PENANAlkZI7GnU4M
“What the..” Peter starts and trails off.
932Please respect copyright.PENANAqwxopG18Q6
“Fuck.” Will finishes for him.
932Please respect copyright.PENANARXeyBfqo7f
“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.”
932Please respect copyright.PENANA84BR5G0e0x
“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.”
932Please respect copyright.PENANANYcoWL0wJo
“Same. Same bro.” Will agrees.
932Please respect copyright.PENANA8j6lhqnTa6
“Kinda off subject but I’m curious, on a scale of 1-10 how attractive are your friends from the coma?”
932Please respect copyright.PENANAaRrK9Jr64N
“Peter! Stop being a typical guy and always thinking about dating and hooking up.” Will says while trying to not laugh.
932Please respect copyright.PENANA6YsLdTqomj
“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.
932Please respect copyright.PENANAaPGDwDrhSd
“Naw, but I have kissed a few people. We played spin the bottle at some party last summer.”
932Please respect copyright.PENANAapEyuLKVfv
“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.”
932Please respect copyright.PENANAHZQvs5lp1U
“Her names Kylee and she’s really nice and smart. She’s a year younger than us but she’s in my math class.”
932Please respect copyright.PENANAF4V5qtRtKv
“She sounds great.” I say because I have no clue how to respond to that. Will just nods in agreement.
932Please respect copyright.PENANAPsv7y2KlIO
“How bout you Puck? In that false/real thing you lived did you have a girlfriend?” Peter asks me.
932Please respect copyright.PENANACm9WPZwOXc
“Nope! Still completely single.”
932Please respect copyright.PENANA18e1YfgWNI
“Of course. I should have known that, Mr. Never had a Girlfriend.” Peter mocks me.
932Please respect copyright.PENANA8OHf5wh4oO
“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?
932Please respect copyright.PENANAvTmudohqMY
“Whatever.” He says and we all burst out laughing.
932Please respect copyright.PENANA21riybbyc6
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.
932Please respect copyright.PENANAppGvlwwWFW
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.
932Please respect copyright.PENANARViGy6pGm2
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.
