Chapter 9
Warren stood back worriedly while the doctors checked Max over, but they soon concluded, to the relief of both of them, that Max was well enough, the various machines were disconnected, the oxygen mask removed and by the time the doctors left, Max was sitting up, smiling as Warren sat down by the bed again.
"Max, I, I'm so glad you've recovered, we, we all feared you'd never wake up." He said at last.
Max smiled lightly. "I, I could hear everything Warren, hearing you all, I couldn't, just give up. I fought and, it worked. I'm awake now, that's what matters."
She paused and Warren bit his lip, wondering what she was thinking.
Finally Max spoke again. "Warren, there's a lot I need to know, but right now, there's one other thing I need to ask."
"What is it?"
"Like I said, I heard everything." Warren instantly felt his face heat up. "Is it true Warren, your feelings for me, are they that deep, I heard you so much."
Warren sighed. "I almost couldn't bear to leave, I wanted to be here, in case you woke up, or, or...I just didn't want you to be alone, I knew that even your parents couldn't be here the whole time."
Max smiled and reached a hand out to him. Warren approached carefully and she took his hand, letting him sit down on the bedside.
"I appreciate the thought Warren, I, I love you too." She admitted at last.
Warren's eyes widened and before he could react, Max kissed him.
Max smiled, relieved, as she finally finished pulling on her clothes, she was now ready, having finally been discharged from the hospital. She was ready to leave at last, her mind raced with everything she had learned happened during her coma.
She was relieved that Jefferson was now in jail, the truth finally revealed, she was also glad that Nathan had come clean. Her recovery had spared him a murder charge, while Rachel's death, confirmed to be accidental, saw him facing manslaughter instead.
'It's good, Nathan didn't exactly mean any of what happened, but it has to be done.' She noted sadly. 'Still, so long as the truth has come out.'
Following that she began to make her way out of the hospital; she had been reunited with her parents, both of them overjoyed at her recovery.
Warren was overjoyed too, the only reason he wasn't here was that she had noticed his exhaustion, sleep had clearly been elusive to him during her coma and she wanted him to get some rest. He had agreed and her parents arranged to meet with her at the Two Whales later.
'Apparently there is something else going on.' Max noted, wondering why the delay.
She soon got her answer when she exited the hospital and saw Chloe waiting for her, by her truck.
"Yo, Max, you're out." Chloe greeted her with a grin.
Max was taken aback. "Chloe, I...It's great to see you, I..."
Chloe shook her head. "Whoa, Max, don't start with that, c'mon, let's not spoil this great moment; get in, we'll go catch up properly."
Grinning Max agreed and they got in the truck, Chloe drove away and Max relaxed, it looked like finally, everything was right again; she had hope for things to even get better in the immediate future.
End of chapter and of story, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
