i woke up and I felt strangely warmer than usual. I slowly began to open my eyes and half opening them I saw a blurred figure at my side looking at me. My eyes burst open and my muscles tensed prepared to strike.
"Calm down Gallagher girl it's just me. You are safe. Promise" Zach said to me in a comforting tone. I relaxed and sighed back down into my pillow and croaked back
"Where….. (Cough, cough) am I …..(couch) How long…."
But Zach cut me off so I didn't have to risk hurting my throat even more than I had already. "You are at my school now Cammie, Blackthorne. You have been in a coma for 3 weeks 2 days 18 hours and 36 minutes"
"WHAT 3 WEEKS ? OHMYGOSH MUM LIZ BEX MACEY! Where are they are they are they o…"
Just then Bex burst into the room followed by Macey and Liz and they all squealed and ran over to hug me
As they came closer I noticed that bex Liz and macey had small lines down their faces. They had been crying. Wait a minute bex NEVER cries. As they hugged me I managed to say sorry 28 times. Bex and the others slowly released me and that was when I looked down… I saw a 12 inch gash on my stomach and side. I gasped and tried to fight back the tears but I couldn't help it. Slowly I began to break down. Tears cascading down my cheeks. Zach pulled me into a warm embrace and I cried into his shoulder. He whispered comforting words into my ear and drew small circles on my back.
After a while I stopped crying and (reluctantly) pulled myself out of Zach's embrace and turned to my friends who stood in the corner.
"umm guys can you give us a minute please?"
"Yeah sure Cam's, I'm so glad your awake" they came over to me and all gave me a hug before bex ushered macey and Liz out
I turned back to Zach who had now moved next to me in the bed and whispered to him "z...Zzach what h…happened to me, us… Everyone"
His face went blank "my mum happened Cammie"
