*1 month later*

I sat in the plastic chair next to Matti’s bed guitar in hand playing her favourite songs to her I stopped strumming and looked up at the poster covered walls. It’s been a month since the incident and she still shows no sign of waking up me and everyone else visit her every day; I even stay till the nurses kick me out! School isn’t the same without her she gets a lot of hate especially from the Barbie doll who whenever any of the boys are around loudly asks out loud “I wonder if that British freak Matti is dead yet?” we try to ignore it however not everyone is like that we do get sympathy from some people.

I glanced over at her form and sighed nope still not waking up anytime soon and there are more tubes snaking out her arms I turned back to the strings of my guitar and started playing Yellow by Coldplay one of her favourite songs

Look at the stars

 Look how they shine for you

 And everything you do

 Yeah they were all yellow

 I came along

I wrote a song for you

 And all the things you do

 And it was called yellow

 So then I took my turn

Oh wh at a thing to have done

 And it was all yellow

Your skin

 Oh yeah your skin and bones

 Turn into something beautiful

 And you know

 You know I love you so

 You know I love you so

I swam across

 I jumped across for you

 Oh what a thing to do

 'Cos you were all yellow

 I drew a line

 I drew a line for you

 Oh what a thing to do

 And it was all yellow

And your skin

 Oh yeah your skin and bones

 Turn into something beautiful

 And you know

 For you I bleed myself dry

 For you I bleed myself dry

It’s true

 Look how they shine for you

 Look how they shine for you

 Look how they shine for

 Look how they shine for you

 Look how they shine for you

 Look how they shine

Look at the stars

 Look how they shine for you

 And all the things that you do

I stopped playing and looked at Matti, my eyes lit up in delight as I saw her hand start to twitch “oh Rocky, Riker get a nurse!” I exclaimed happily to the 2 other boys in the room who were writing a song for Matti “huh why?” Riker asked looking up from the lyric sheet he then saw Matti’s hand twitching “come along Rocky” he motioned for Rocky to come with him “errm it doesn’t take 2 people to get a nurse” he exclaimed wanting to stay with me as he along with myself had been a worried wreck about Matti. Riker shook his head and left I grabbed Matti’s hand and started talking to her “come on Matti” I urged “open your eyes, just take a small peak” Rocky shook his head “how about you sing another song I’ll play the guitar for you” I nodded my head at Rocky’s amazing plan and sang a favourite of hers Wherever You Will Go by The Calling

So lately, been wondering

 Who will be there to take my place

 When I'm gone you'll need love to light the shadows on your face

 If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all

 Then between the sand and stone, could you make it on your own

(Chorus)

If I could, then I would,

 I'll go wherever you will go

 Way up high or down low, I'll go wherever you will go

And maybe, I'll find out

 A way to make it back someday

 To watch you, to guide you, through the darkest of your days

 If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all

 Then I hope there's someone out there

 Who can bring me back to you

Chorus

Run away with my heart

 Run away with my hope

 Run away with my love

I know now, just quite how,

My life and love may still go on

 In your heart, in your mind, I'll stay with you for all of time

Chorus

 I looked up to hear the door open with Riker and a nurse and Matti’s very frail voice singing the last line with me “hi” I said softly to her, she weakly smiled at me “ahh your awake” the nurse happily said and called a doctor who removed a few tubes such as her breathing one “welcome back Matilda” the doctor exclaimed “it’s Matti” she responded with she didn’t take well to be called her full name.

Matti’s P.O.V

I heard singing as I walked through an empty valley I followed the beautiful sound it was singing one of my favourite songs while following the sound I started singing along to it I finally reached my destination it was absolutely freezing and pitch black but the singing was louder I continued singing along and felt something warm ok that’s odd but I continued singing along when I noticed my surroundings getting lighter still singing I turned round and saw an exhausted smiling Ross.
