Everyone stood there not sure what to say. When Knife stepped up to Spot very unsure of himself for the first time in years.
"Hey Spot, uhm, I thought, that if the doc's right, then she will hear us, so, I thought, that maybe, I could try to excuse myself?" Spot looked up at Knife and looked at him for several minutes. Then hen nodded and left the room closing the door behind him.
Knife waited till Spot had closed the door then sat down in a chair near the bed.
"Hey Storm, I hope you can hear me. I… I wanna say, I'm sorry for what happened. It was silly from us to bet about you and Spot. We know now. It's just, Spot had never acted like this before. You know, he didn't even look at another girl. That isn't Spot anymore like we knew him. Well, I hope you'll forgive us. Spot didn't sleep with you for a bet or something like that!!! He didn't even knew. We were absolutely stupid doing something like this. Please, wake up. You can't leave us hanging here." He sighed and looked at her hoping she would do anything. But she didn't. He stood up and left the room silently.

Ocean looked up when Knife came out and walked in the room. She sat down on the bed and took Storm's hand.
"Hey cousin. I don't really know what I can say to make you wake up. All I know is that I need you. And so do the others. Out of all Spot! You should see him. He's, well almost a wrack! Come on. Please wake up. I don't know what to do if you wouldn't wake up! Isn't this a great Birthday for me? My cousin lays here and I can't help." Tears began to form in her eyes.
"Please, Gill. Come back. You know, your Mom would want you to be strong. And also Michael, Raphael and Ludwig! Do it for them if you don't wanna do it for yourself. Do it for SPOT! I know you love him and he loves you! That's so obvious. I don't believe it was his idea with this bet. Please, Don't leave us!" She ran out and in her room laying on her bed Blue found her and tried to calm her down.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sharie walked in unsure of what to say or where to sit. So she stood near the bed.
"You know, we don't know us as long as you and Blue. We aren't cousin's like you and Ocean. But I really like you. I'm glad to have you as friend. And not just because you get me away from my father. I really enjoy to be around you and Ocean. Storm, please, the only reason I can think of for you to wake up again are your friends here. Please come back." She stepped out of the room.
"Where is Spot?" She asked Knife. He shrugged.
"Maybe he couldn't stand this. It's like her funeral what you are doing here!" Blue came back from the girls room.
"Would you take care of Ocean?" He asked Sharie when he walked in Spot's room.
"Now, listen to me young lady! It's time that you learn that not all things in live are going the way you want them to! SO wake up! Don't you hear all this people hear begging you for the different reason to wake up?! Your cousin is crying because of you! Spot is disappeared! So don't play games and wake up!" He ran his fingers trough his hair before he sat down next to her. He talked again, with a calm voice this time.
"Come on. You know, all want you to wake up. What would Hans say if he would see you like this? And your mom? She always was so proud that you was so strong. That you didn't act like a high class girl should but like a "free" person. So show us she was right. We swore us that we would never give up. SO don't do it.
I know that you love Spot. You wouldn't have slept with him if you didn't and you wouldn't have ran away. Storm, all I want to say, as stupid as may sound, is, wake up. Because I can't life without you! And I know that there are a few more people that feel so. ONE even in a stronger way!"
He left the room and headed outside for the fire escape. He needed some fresh air.

Daisy looked at everyone. She had heard that Storm didn't wake up and that the others tried to wake her up by saying something to her. So she walked in and took a seat on the bed. She laid her head on Storm's breast.
"Hey Storm. I don't know what the others have told you. But I want to say that I really like you! One of the boys said you would leave. He's wrong, isn't he. You're staying with us. I'm coming back later. When you're awake." Daisy didn't notice but Storm had slightly moved her hand when Daisy's head laid on her breast.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Daisy went out Spot was coming in the bunkroom with Flash on his arm. Nobody noticed him except Daisy. She smiled up at him and Spot ruffled her hair before walking in his room. He sat down on the bed and held Storm in his arms while Flash laid next to him.
"Hey Storm. Here is somebody who wanted to see you!" He whispered and took her hand to lay it down on Flash's head. He moved his head to show Storm he wanted to be stroked. But she didn't move.
Spot just hold her in his arms. He didn't want to speak. He wasn't sure if she could really hear him and besides, hadn't she told him words are nothing? That he had to prove his love? SO he just sat there and hold her body in his arms. It didn't take long till he was asleep.
An hour later Storm's hand moved again. Flash finally get his will. Storm stroked his head slightly while she chuckled closer to Spot. It took him several minutes before he woke up. He wasn't sure, what had caused him to. Then he looked at Storm and that she stroked Flash. He sighed happily and smiled.
"Storm?" He whispered but didn't get a response.
"Storm, please, come on wake up. Storm I lov.. No" He shook his head slightly. Then he turned Storm so he looked in her face. His hand stroke gently over her cheek. He leaned over her face and gave her a soft kiss on her cheek. He saw that her eyes flattered but before she could open her eyes fully he leaned over her again.
"I love you!" He breathed before his lips tenderly met hers.
