Thanks to __vedi__ for all the amazing covers you've made for me.

Cole's Pov:

It's been more than a week since the incident.

Everyone changed.

Bethany always seemed to be lost in her own thoughts.

Brody and Jessica are taking extra care of each other.

Chase has forgiven Ryder, and they are good.

Ryder sometimes still fears losing Chase.

Blake was the only one in our friend's circle who's acting normal.

Actually, I'm glad someone is normal.

Blake was the one who called the cops that day, or else I don't know what would've happened.

I don't know what to do anymore.

How will I face Xandra when she wakes up?

I'll have to tell her the truth.

Xandra is alive but in a difficult situation.

She isn't awake, though she's breathing.

I sat near her bed in the hospital, as I took hold of her hand.

Her hair has grown back.

She was right when she said that her hair grows fast.

"Wake up, Xandra, please," I muttered, hoping she would wake up.

The doctor said that she might wake up anytime.

The person who was the most devastated because of Xandra's condition was her mom.

Her mom visits her every day, along with her dad.

I removed that strand of hair from her face.

Her skin has gone pale.

Her lips were dry, almost white.

"Do you even know what's happening? Mason visits you every day hoping you'll wake up. Your mom cries every time she visits. Oh, and your dad keeps giving me strange looks. I don't know what problem he has against me. Jessica and Bethany visit you every day. They keep telling me to go home, but how can I leave without you? You're my life, my world. My everything. Please wake up. Please." I whispered the last part, hoping she listened to everything I just said.

But, she didn't wake up.

I don't know how long I'll go without her.

I turned around to see the nurse come into the room.

She smiled sweetly at me.

"Hey, Cole." She said, batting her eyelashes.

I rolled my eyes, as I told her to do what she has to do.

After taking Xandra's body temperature, she turned to leave.

But, she came back.

"You know Cole, I don't think she'll ever wake up. It's best if you move on." She said, twirling her hair.

I rolled my eyes.

"He's mine." I heard Xandra's voices, as I looked down at her.

The nurse gulped, looking at Xandra.

Xandra tried sitting up, but I stopped her.

I, with the help of the pillows, helped her sit properly.
