"Hopelessly devoted to you...."
Andy and Anna walked into the house, sighing as they heard the familiar song blasting throughout.
"This song? Still? She was listening to it when we left!" Andy groaned out as he shut the front door.
"She's been playing this shit on repeat every night, I think I'm going crazy." Anna sighed out before she and Andy made their way towards Carly's bedroom.
The two had gone out to drop off lunch for Diane at the hospital before coming back to the house.
Anna and Andy walked through the house, their hands to their sides before they stopped infront of the white door that led into Carly's bedroom.
Andy raised his fist, knocking three times before turning the doorknob and pushing the door open.
The song that was playing had ended before it started replaying.
Anna sighed, walking towards the speaker that was playing the song.
She shut it off as Andy placed the bag of food on Carly's bedside table.
Andy and Anna looked to Carly who was laid down on her back, staring up at the ceiling.
"We bought Burger King." Anna had said as she walked towards Carly, laying down on the bed next to her. "There's a water in the bag."
Carly just hummed out in reply, still staring up at the ceiling.
"Carly, I don't get why you keep replaying that stupid song." Anna sighed out, staring up at the ceiling.
"I don't know, it's just comforting to listen to it. I'll get tired of it eventually." Carly had whispered, also staring up at her ceiling. "I hope."
"Carly, you've been locked up in here for two weeks straight. You're going crazy. You need to go outside, breathe some fresh air, go see your friends." Anna said with an eye roll as she sat up.
"I don't want to see anyone right now." Carly said softly, resting her head on Anna's lap.
Anna sighed, rubbing Carly's arm before she glanced to her brother who was leaned against the wall.
"Just like you told Hawk and Sam you didn't want to see them?" Anna asked with a raised brow.
"We're all hurting and I don't want to be an even bigger burden for them." Carly replied with a sigh.
Anna nodded understandingly as she ran her hand through Carly's hair.
"Your mom said you absolutely have to get your stitches off today." Anna sighed out as she lightly pushed Carly's head off of her lap before standing up.
"But-"
"Carly, no buts. You've stalled it long enough. We need to get going or else your stitches'll get infected." Anna said, stretching out her hand for Carly to take.
Carly inhaled and exhaled sharply before taking Anna's hand.
Anna smiled, pulling Carly off the bed as she exchanged a glance with Andy.
Progress.

"I'm glad that you're finally out of the house." Diane smiled as she carefully took off the stitches.
Carly didn't reply, staring straight ahead as her mother wiped her stomach.
"Good to go." Diane hummed as she stood up straight, hands on her hips.
Diane looked at her daughter's face.
She looked like she hadn't smiled in years.
It hurt the woman to see her daughter so... rough.
"Are you gonna go see Miguel?" Diane asked, sitting next to Carly on the hospital bed.
"What's the point? He's in a coma." Carly sighed, resting her head on her mother's shoulder.
"When someone's in a coma, you know that they can hear you, right?" Diane quirked a brow even though Carly couldn't see.
"That's bullshit if you ask me." Carly murmured out.
Diane rolled her eyes, standing up and pulling Carly off the bed.
"It isn't bullshit, now come on, I'm taking you to see Miguel rather you like it or not." Diane said, dragging Carly out of the room.
Carly was silent as she and Diane walked the short distance to Miguel's room.
The two stopped at the door, Carly looking down at her feet.
Diane rolled her eyes, pushing Carly into the room.
Diane walked into the room, dragging the chair in the corner right next to Miguel's bed.
Diane held Carly's shoulders, sitting her down on the chair.
Diane then took a step backward, folding her arms as she stood at the door, leaning against it and looking out the room.
Carly rolled her eyes before she finally took in Miguel's state.
He was in a large neck brace, shirtless, his arms laying at his side.
Carly sucked in a breath, trailing a finger on Miguel's hand.
"Uh, hi, Miguel. It's um, Carly." Carly cleared her throat. "My mom told me that you can uh hear me, but I don't really think you can."
Diane rolled her eyes, a ghost smile on her lips.
"Uh, Aisha moved away. Her parents made her block us all on everything and then they just left. It honestly really sucks, I'm gonna miss her a lot." Carly licked her dry lips, swallowing her spit. "I haven't really spoken to anyone besides Anna and Andy. I cut Hawk and Sam and everyone else off. I don't know why but I did."
Carly sighed, thinking of what else to say.
"They haven't found my dad yet. They gave up searching for him. They have a bounty on his name but the police aren't searching anymore." Carly said before she went silent for a few moments. Diane thought that the girl had fallen asleep and was about to check up on her before Carly spoke up again. "You know the saying you never miss the well till it runs dry? I think that applies to our relationship. I thought that I could let you go, let the water run dry, but now that the water is dry, I just wanna cry. For days."
Carly sniffled, shaking her head.
"I just really wish you were awake. You're so strong, Miguel. Please fight it, you can wake up, I believe in you." Carly said, her voice quavering as she slipped her hand into Miguel's.
"Please, please, please wake up. Please. Miguel, wake up!" Carly yelled, crying.
Diane rushed into the room, pulling Carly away as she wrapped her arms around her daughter.
Carly cried into Diane's clothes.
Suddenly, Miguel's machine started beeping rapidly.
Carly and Diane snapped their head towards Miguel, eyes widening.
Diane pushed Carly to the side, dragging the chair away from the bed.
"Doctor! We need a doctor in here right now!" Diane screamed as loudly as she can.
A few doctors and nurses rushed into the room almost immediately.
Carly stood in the corner of the room as her mother wrapped her in an embrace.
"Mom, what's going on?!" Carly sobbed out in horror, the worse situations running through her mind. "Mom?"
One of the nurses rushed towards Carly and Diane, a smile on her face.
"He's awake!"
