I decided that I couldn't leave it hanging so I made this chapter to give it more of a happy ending.

Waking up and realizing that I'm loved.

Waking up from a nightmare is nothing compared to waking up from a coma. Thoughts that were as least a week old were still swimming in her head. Her last breath finally exhaled on its own without the help of the softly beeping machine beside her. Her arms and legs felt like she hadn't used them in years and her eyes had a hard time opening. Her mouth felt dry and the whole left side of her body felt hot. For a moment she just laid there in her hospital bed allowing the sun to gently bake her pale skin. How long had she been cut off from the world?

Gentle snoring and a slight tickling sensation brought her purple gaze to a mop of messy brown hair that had snuggled its way into her side. Further exploration of the body that owned that messy brown hair brought a small smile to her face. Slowly she moved her hand from the sleeping man's grip and began to stroke his head. A minute passed and the soft snoring stopped as the man slowly lifted his head to look her in the face.

His blue eyes looked at her as a starving dog would look at a bowl of food. She could she the hurt and pain that she had caused him, even if it hadn't been her intention. Nervousness swelled up within her as his icy blue eyes shifted to anger. Why did she do what she did, she knew that was what everyone was wondering. Why had she, Rei Hino, run in front of a moving bus?

Flashes of her memory of the day ran threw her head rapidly, like a movie that was missing certain pieces that it needed in order to run smoothly. She could remember seeing Usagi walking in front of the bus. She remembered all logical reasoning flying out of her head as she moved to push Usagi out of the way. After all it was her duty to kept Usagi safe, wasn't it?

"Why are you willing to put everything on the line for Usagi? You, Mina, Makato, Ami, and the others look after her like seven little watchdogs. Why does she come first?"

Mild anger began to make its appearance on her face.

"What's your problem? She's my friend! Do you really think that I would just leave her to get hit?"

Fuming purple eyes met their match against icy blue eyes. Silently she wondered why he was making such a big deal about it. She was only protecting Usagi. A sigh brought her out of her thoughts, her eyes once again trained on Heero who had moved to the window.

"I know Darien dumped you. That's why you were so willing to give your life to "save" Usagi."

Rei growled.

"What are you talking about? Why would I run it front of a car to kill myself? This isn't the first time that I've been dump by Darien, though it will be the last. I really did run in front of the car to save Usagi."

She watched as Heero slowly turned around to face her. She noticed that his eyes no longer looked angry, instead they had reverted back to relief. She continued to watch him as he walked over and to her surprise, hugged her.

"I'm glad Rei. Too many people care about you for you to throw your life away. Next time you play the hero please be more careful."

"Look who's talking Mr. the Perfect Solider."

"Hn."

Rei smiled as Heero grunted is infamous grunt as he let go of her and sat back down in the chair next to her bed. Slowly her smile faded as she noticed that her best friend was missing.

"Where's Usagi?"

"She left."

"Why?"

"Because I wouldn't leave the hospital."

"Why?"

"Because, Rei, I'm in love with you."
