She woke up to find collin crying next to her. She wanted to reach out to him. To assure him that she was fine, but she couldn't move. She screams but collin doesn't even look up. The doctor walks and says "collin look. In some cases she can hear things. With the type of coma she went into im sure she can hear you." the doctor stands by her bed and asks "hows my favorite patient today?" he looks at her with hopeful eyes as if she could answer him. "she'll get better soon don't give up on her son." he looked at collin one last time before walking out of her room. "I love you too." he took her hand and sat on her bed. A few hours later collin fell asleep in the chair next to her bed. That's when her parents finally walked in. They stayed with Natalie for the whole day until collin insisted that he would stay with her and they should get some rest. Every day collin went to the hospital before going home to see Her. This continued for 8 and a half months. Finally Natalie woke up. She opened her eyes and found collin sitting in the usual chair. Not expecting to see her open her eyes or even move he ran over to her. "Natalie your...awake" he leaned over and kissed her forehead. A few days later Natalie went back to school. She told collin she didn't want to go out with him because she didn't want to get hurt. "Im not ready...for this." she calmly got up after class and left collin staring at a wall. She took out her lucky stone from her pocket. "Love me or leave me" she read what it had engraved in tiny letters out loud. "no need...I'm leaving you." tears started to pour out of her light brown eyes and she walked home. Collin walked out of the class room and looked really pale. Emily ran to him and put her arms around his neck. "why so down love?" she asked looking into his eyes. Natalie was walking down the street when she saw Dylan trying to open the door to his house. She didn't want to talk to him or even have him know she was there so she walked as quietly as she could. She was 5 houses away from being safe when her phone started ringing. "shit! stupid iPhone!" she yelled. Dylan noticed her and smiled. "great to see you walking around my dear Natalie" she looked straight ahead and kept walking. "go away Dylan." she walked even faster when Dylan graved her arm. Like he always ended up doing. "I think your my new girlfriend" he pulled her close and smiled. "not in a million years" she frowned and pulled her arm away. "it wasn't a question Natalie." he graved her arms tightly and threw her on the floor.
