One week later
Logan was giving Wallace a lift to the hospital after school for the past week and they had become quite close. They walk into Veronica's hospital room and sit down in their usual spots next to her bed.
"Ya know, apparently coma patients can hear what is going on around them." Wallace says, fishing his homework out of his bag.
"Well, that's not creepy." Logan comments, as he gets out his own homework.
"That's just what I've heard." Wallace says, looking at Veronica wishing for her to be able to talk to him.
"So what, we can talk to her and she can hear us?"
"Yeah, something like that." Wallace replies. Logan looks at Veronica curiously, and frowns. Wallace sees the look Logan gave his best friend and decided to give them some privacy. "Hey man, I'm just going to the vending machine. Did you want anything?" Wallace asks.
"Nah I'm fine." Logan says, and gives Wallace a look of thanks as he leaves the room.
Slowly Logan gets up from his seat and walks over to Veronica's bed. Bending down he kisses her forehead and smooth's his hand over her hair.
"Veronica. It's Logan. I just want you to know that I'm so sorry for all that has happened. I really wish you'd wake up and hit me for being so stupid. We are all rooting for you Ronnie. Every day since you've been in a coma there has been someone with you." Logan whispers, holding her hand up to his lips he kisses it gently. "I miss you so much. Just please wake up Veronica. We are all here for you, just please wake up." A lone tear falls down his cheek; whipping it away he leans down and kisses her forehead again. Logan sits back down on his chair and rubs his eyes with the palms of his hands.
Keith was standing in the doorway watching the scene unfold. He brushes his own tears away before clearing his throat with a cough and entering the room. Logan jumps slightly, from being brought out of his thoughts by Keith's entrance.
"Hello Mr. Mars." Logan says, his throat still a bit raw from his tears.
"Hello Logan, and it is Keith to you." Keith says, smiling slightly at the young man who was crying over his daughter's hospital bed. Logan nods his head in understanding, hoping that Keith didn't hear all of what he had said. Keith sits down opposite Logan and leans forward on his chair and places a loving hand on Veronica's broken hand. He leans back and takes out a book.
"Hey Logan, Keith." Mac says, entering the room, not noticing the moment between the two guys.
"Hello Mac, are you guys going to be doing homework? Because I could leave if you wanted?" Keith asks, as Mac takes a seat next to Logan.
"No, of course you can stay. Unless our noise would disturb you?" Logan says.
"Nope, I don't really mind being disturbed, this book isn't very good." He says with a half smile.
"Now that's that is settled, where is Wallace?" Mac asks, looking at Logan.
"He went to the vending machine." Logan replies, bringing his homework back onto his lap.
"Hey everyone. I have chocolate." Wallace says, walking back into the room holding some snacks. He throws a packet of 'crunchy M&M's' to Mac, a 'Mars bar' to Logan, accompanied by a wink, and a 'Snickers bar' to Keith. He keeps a 'Flake' for himself. Logan grins at Wallace looking at the chocolate bar that landed on his Math book.
"Thanks Wallace." He says.
"Thank you Wallace." Keith says opening his chocolate.
"Yeah, thanks." Mac says, already eating some 'M&M's'. "Oh, and Wallace here are your bio notes from today, and Logan your Math homework." Mac says handing out the paper.
"Thanks Mac." Wallace and Logan say at the same time.
"And Logan you left me alone in Math today, Mr. Jay was so mean today and I had no one to talk to all hour. Why do you have to leave early on Thursdays?" Mac asks.
"Less traffic to the hospital if I leave early." Logan smirks, "And I'm here now to help you with your Math homework."
"Wipe that smirk off your face Echolls, you know that we work on the hardest questions together." Mac replies, slapping Logan's arm in a friendly manner.
"I still find it hilarious that he gets the same marks as you in Math." Wallace laughs.
"As surprising as it is, I enjoy Math. I've always been good at it." Logan says seriously.
"One of Neptune's many mysteries." Mac says chuckling.
"Another being, what my class did today in bio. Mac who did you get these notes off?" Wallace asks, trying to read the writing with difficulty.
"I got them off Jamie." Mac replies, not looking up from her Math homework.
"Oh, I know Jamie. And I think the longer I stare at the page the more I can understand what it says." Wallace says, squinting at the page of notes.
They work in silence, every so often helping each other with their work. Keith reads his book, Mac and Logan work on their Math homework, and Wallace rewrites Jamie's bio notes into his own exercise book.
A couple of nurses run passed the door, breaking the silence of the hospital corridor. A voice on the speaker system of the hospital says that it was a code 5 in one of the rooms of the hospital. Keith gets up and walks out of the room, his brows furrowed.
"What's going on?" He asks one of the nurses.
"One of the surviving girls from the bus crash is awake." The nurse replies, hurrying down the corridor.
