Chapter 11
( couple months later )
The doctors could no longer keep Andy in the hospital so we moved him back to his room. The nurse told me how to read the machines and how to feed him and all of that other medical stuff. Most of all I was happy to have him back with me. It was creepy at night to hear the beeping of the heart machine but it was comforting at the same time knowing that he was still fighting. His body temperature was warmer and he would occasionally move his fingers or something. I knew he would fight. He is stronger then a lot of people. He has a purpose in life. He has a reason to fight. I would hold his hand. I would kiss him. I would lay with him. I would keep him updated. It's up to him to wake up not me. I fell asleep next to him one night and I could feel his strength radiating off of him. He was pushing his body to far. I woke up and stroked his face, soothing him telling him to take it easy to stop hurting himself. Next thing I knew it his eyes fluttered open. "Andy! Guys! Andy's waking up!" I shouted and they all came running in waiting with me. Come on Andy you can do it. I had a huge smile on my face. My Andy was back.
*Andy's POV*
I fought harder then I ever did before. My body was on fire. I finally woke up seeing the most beautiful smile in the world. "hey" I croaked "Andy!" Ashley cried and hugged me tightly "easy" I gasped "sorry, I'm just glad to see your eyes again" he laughed and his eyes where blazing with life "how long was I gone?" I asked trying to sit up but my body shook in the process "three months" he sighed "damn" I groaned "are you in pain?" he panicked "no I'm fine" I replied trying to sit up again, Ashley put his arm around my waist helping me to sit up. "thanks" I smiled "just take it easy" he replied "I'll try" I sighed. "How are you feeling?" Jake asked sitting down next to us. "tired, woozy" I answered honestly "no pain?" Ashley asked still supporting me "other then my ribs nope" I smiled "it's great to have you back Andy" Jake smiled but his eyes where sad "it's great to be back" I laughed "you really scared us buddy" Jinxx sighed and gave me a pat on the shoulder. I don't know why but I started to cry, with my family surrounding me I felt complete and happy. I couldn't believe that they stood by my side this whole time. "Andy why are you crying?" Ashley panicked "I'm just so happy" I chuckled, Ashley just smiled at me. "have you been eating?" I asked looking at him deep in the eye "yes I have been eating" he replied honestly "good" I sighed in relief "Jake convinced me that you wouldn't want me like that all skin and bone so I ate" he replied "oh, that reminds me, Jake?" I said looking over at Jake now "yeah Andy?" he asked not really looking at me I know he had feelings for Ashley and now that I'm back he can't have him. "I just wanted to say thank you for taking care of Ashely when I was in a coma" I replied "it's not a problem" he shrugged "hey Ashley why don't you go take a shower or something I have to talk to Jake for a moment" I sighed. Ashley gave me a worried/questioning look but he walked out of the room. "Jake. I know you had or still have feelings for Ashley and i just want to make sure that the fact that I have him and you don't doesn't change our relationship with each other. I don't want the band to be changed because of this" I replied a little more coldly then what I meant "it's not always about you, you know" Jake sighed and stood up "what's that supposed to mean?" I growled "it's not always about what you want" he snapped and I could tell that he regretted doing that and looked down "are you saying that you don't want us to be friends?" I pressed "no I do" he sighed "then what's bothering you Jake? Something is obviously wrong" I asked growing concerned "it's nothing I'm fine" he lied and left the room. What's wrong with Jake? "can I come in now?" Ashley asked in a small voice "yes" I answered and he walked in looking worried "is everything alright?" he asked sitting down next to me "I'm ok but I'm worried about Jake he seems different" I admitted "Jake? Why would anything be wrong with him?" he asked but I could hear the worry in his voice he cared about Jake a little more then I would like but I can't go judging on him now not after all he's been through. "I don't know if there is anything wrong with him but he seems upset about something" I replied "I could go talk to him" Ashley suggested "if you want to" I shrugged and he got up and left. Leaving me in the dark with unpleasant thoughts of what's about to happen.
