A/N: I hope you liked the last chapter. This will start off where it left off. Keep reviewing! Hey Tbonechick, did you accept the apology from my last chapter.

Everyone ran to Nicole's room. Emma, Todd, and Michelle ran to her bed and hugged her. Melissa stepped out of the way.

"Mom…Daddy, why am I here?"

"Oh, Nicole!" Emma exclaimed sobbing. Michelle squeezed her sister's hand comfortingly.

"Where's Katie? Where's Nick? Where's Cory" Nicole asked frantically trying to sit up.

"You were in a car accident. I'm very sorry honey, but the boys……they didn't make it" Todd explained.

"No!" Nicole exclaimed.

"I'm so sorry baby" Emma whispered.

"It's my fault! I was bored and I wanted Nick to teach me to drive before he went off to college" Nicole started crying.

"You drove?" Michelle asked in shock.

"I know, it was a stupid thing to do"

"You know I would have taught you" Emma said.

"I was being selfish"

"You weren't being selfish. You were being a teenager" Todd said wiping a tear from her eye.

"I'm sorry" She said hugging her mom.

"I know you are" hugging her tightly.

"Ow" Nicole flinched.

"Sorry, you must be sore"

"Yeah. What about Katie? Where is she?" Nicole asked looking around the room. Almost all her family and friends and friends of her family were there.

"I think she's getting something with Grandpa Snake"

"Yeah, they went to pick up Jack from the airport. They should be back soon" Stacey informed them.

"Okay"

"I'm tired" Nicole said sighing.

"Then we'll leave the room" Emma suggested signaling for everyone to go. She couldn't believe that over fifteen people could fit in one hospital room.

"Wait mom", Nicole said grabbing her mom's hand," I want you and dad and Michelle and Grandma to stay in here with me"

Everyone else left the room giving Nicole and her family sympathetic looks.

"How are you feeling?" Spike asked hugging her granddaughter.

"I'm sore all over and I'm tired"

"The doctor said you could come home the day after tomorrow, but he has to examine you first" Spike told her. Nicole sighed and looked down, asking the question she didn't want to ask.

"Am I going to go to jail?"

"Why would you go to jail?" Emma asked shocked.

"Because I'm fifteen and I drove a car, not to mention it's completely my fault that my two brothers are dead" Nicole said, tearing up.

"It's not your fault. Your father and I don't blame you" Emma said firmly.

"I don't think it's your fault either if my opinion counts for anything" Michelle said with a small smile. Nicole smiled back.

"What about you dad? Do you blame me?" Nicole asked jokingly even though she knew the answer.

"Of course not! And I don't want you blaming yourself either!"

"I should have waited until one of you came home"

"I agree. You should have waited until your mother and I came home, but I guess I can understand why you would want to do something with Nick before he left for college" Todd said. Mr. Simpson and Katie walked into the hospital room with Jack.

"Hi Grandpa Simpson" Nicole said as he gave her a big hug.

"I'm so glad you're awake" Jack said hugging her also.

"Can I lie next to you in your bed?" Katie asked trying to get on the bed.

"Yeah, let's take a nap together"

"Okay, everyone let's get out of the room. Nicole needs her sleep. Katie, you can come with me" Emma announced. Everyone hugged Nicole before leaving the room. She soon fell into a deep sleep.

When Nicole woke up a couple hours later, Ryan was sitting next to her bed, on a chair. She rubbed her eyes.

"What time is it?"

"Around 6:30. Michelle and Katie are at my house and my parents are treating your parents to dinner. They dropped me off here on their way"

"Oh. How long have you been here?" She asked turning on her side to face him.

"Only thirty minutes, but I didn't want to wake you up"

"Cool" She said. There was an awkward silence.

"Did Melissa and Stacey tell you?" Ryan asked.

"Did they tell me what?" Nicole asked back.

"I kissed you while you were in the coma" Ryan said looking a little embarrassed.

"I think I might remember them saying that, but it was probably when I was in a coma" Nicole said laughing at the thought of her ex-boyfriend kissing her while she was in a coma.

"You're not mad?"

"No, I'm not mad. Why would I be?"

"You were just really angry with me after we broke up"

"You cheated on me. I had every right to be angry"

"That's why I thought you might be mad. I know if I had kissed you at the beginning of the year you would be furious"

"Well, I guess we've been kind of getting along better since the dance a few months ago, so it's okay. Besides I don't even remember it so I don't know what I would have thought about it if I had been awake"

"Me neither"

"Do you want to find out?" She asked sitting up a little bit so their heads were facing each other perfectly and they were looking straight at each other.

"What?" He asked, confused. Nicole rolled her eyes. Guys just didn't get it sometimes.

"Do you want to find out if I would like it?" Nicole asked leaning closer. Ryan smiled, finally getting it.

"Sure" He said kissing her on the lips. They pulled back.

"Did you feel anything?" Ryan asked hopefully. Nicole smiled and wrapped her arms around her shoulders and kissed him again. Soon they were making out. They didn't hear the door open and two pairs of feet walk in.

"I knew you two would get back together" Melissa said surprising both Nicole and Ryan.

"What to you so long?" Stacey added.

"You can't just sneak up on people like that!" Nicole exclaimed laughing.

"Yeah well, we did"
