Like fuck, what do you say to that?

'I've been sleeping away the past four years because I'm a pussy'?

No.

You can't say that. Of course not. I may be autistic, but I still have some social skill.

"I mean... I didn't die so I guess I've been holding up pretty well." I say, laughing slightly at my own excuse for a joke.

"That's good." She says softly.

She then pulls me into a hug, her soft black hair falling over my shoulder and enveloping me. I can feel her face press into my neck, moist with tears.

I hug her back, my thin and pale arms wrapping around her perfectness. How could someone have been in a coma for four years and still be so beautiful?

She moves back from me after several minutes, wiping her eyes, and brushing her long, silky hair from her face. Her soft brown eyes meet my harsh black ones.

"I love you." She says to me, her voice just a whisper. "I forgive you."
