AN: Well, as Miley comes to, she and Michael have a conversation which leads to some very important questions and answers, or will Michael chicken out about asking her something important?

Chapter Two: Coming To

Miley slowly opened her eyes, and saw the sun leaking into her room. She raised her hand to shield her eyes from the bright rays of the sun outside. She tried to remember what happened, but then she remembered the car accident that she and Michael were in. They were driving to their hotel room as a big storm was happening. Michael swerved to avoid hitting someone, and they crashed into a tree, oddly enough stunning her but knocking him out. Then there was a really big branch about to fall on them. She then remembered pushing Michael's unconscious figure from the car, just as a big branch crushed the car that they were in. The next thing that she remembered was waking up in the hospital.

She sat up, and looked around, trying to find Michael. Then she saw him, laying on the window sill, sound asleep. Miley contemplated waking him up, but she noticed his tear stained cheeks, most likely due to almost losing her that caused him to cry like that. Miley knew him for a long time, and she never saw him like that. She should have felt sad, but she was going to surprise him by waiting for him to wake up.

Miley just stared at him, and smiled.

Let him rest. Miley thought. We have been through so much already.

Michael opened his eyes, and stretched himself out to get all of the cricks out of his body. Man, it has been a hell of a few hours, hasn't it? A car accident that almost killed the two of them, but the fact that they are here and they are still alive is a miracle all in itself. Miley was alive, but she was going to need some care for a little while, which Michael volunteered to do without hesitation. Michael looked over to where Miley was, to see what her condition was, but to be honest, he just wanted to see if she was awake or not.

He saw her sitting up, smiling at him.

"Well hey there, nice to see you are awake." Miley smiled.

Michael smiled back, but literally had to resist the urge to run over to her, and give her a hug, not knowing what her condition was.

"Miley! I am so glad that you are alright!" Michael smiled, walking over, and sitting on her bed, taking one of her hands into his.

"I know, but I still feel stiff as hell." Miley smiled weakly. Michael laughed slightly, but then he asked her something.

"Miley, while I was knocked out, did anything happen?" Michael asked her. Miley thought for a few moments, then she looked as she remembered something.

"When you crashed into the tree, you were knocked out, and then I saw that this branch was about to hit us. Then I pushed you out of the car just as the branch hit us." Miley answered. Michael's demeanor changed as he heard that, and it looked as though it was something really bothering him.

"So, you almost died, protecting me, right?" Michael said, his voice almost shaking, as if he was trying to prevent his emotions from coming out in front of her.

"Michael, what's wrong?" Miley asked sweetly.

"It's just...You almost died protecting me...How can I ever repay you for doing that? What can I do to make sure that it won't happen again?" Michael asked, slight tears falling from his face.

"Michael, I am fine. I am just a little banged up a little bit." Miley said, trying to calm him down as much as she could.

"Miley, I am going to make it up to you, I promise." Michael said, their pair of blue eyes meeting.

"I know you will. I am glad to have someone like you in my life." Miley smiled at him.

Michael and Miley were sitting in her room, watching TV when news of her accident hit the airwaves. Michael felt his head starting to hurt as he watched the news broadcast.

We are at the scene of a big accident. Actress Miley Stewart and her boyfriend Michael Harris were in an accident right here behind me. It appears that they swerved off the road to avoid a car when they crashed into a tree. The car is totaled, but Miley Stewart and her boyfriend Michael are resting at a nearby hospital with minor injuries as we are told.

"Christ." Michael said.

"What is it?" Miley asked him.

"$20 says Marie calls me first." Michael said.

Miley opened her mouth to protest, but at the very moment that she opened her mouth, Michael's cellphone rang. Michael looked over, and groaned loudly as he saw who it was.

"Who is it?" Miley asked him.

"Marie." Michael moaned.

"Are you gonna answer it?" Miley answered.

"Hell no." Michael answered. He sat it down, and sat down next to her. When he did, his cell phone rang again. He groaned with irritation as he opened his cell phone.

"Charles." Michael sighed.

"Answer it." Miley told him.

"Really?" Michael asked her back.

"Really." Miley told him, giving him a nudge. Michael sighed, and opened the phone, putting it on speaker as well.

"Hello?" Michael asked him.

"Any reason why you did not answer your sister?" Charles asked him.

"Why hello, dear big brother." Michael said in a cheerful tone.

"Don't pull that with me, and why did you not tell me that you were in a car accident?" Charles shouted at him.

"We are fine, thanks." Michael answered in the same cheerful tone.

"Marie called me, screaming that she was worried about you, and why did you not tell us that you were out there with her?" Charles almost screamed at him.

Michael pinched the bridge of his nose. I am gonna put my foot in Melody's ass when I get back.

"Gee, I thought that Melody would have taken care of that. I guess not." Michael sighed.

"Do not pull that innocent crap with me. We are gonna have a long talk when you two get back here." Charles said.

"Love you." Michael said innocently. Miley heard Charles mumble something before hanging up. Michael stared at his cell phone for a few moments before sitting it down and looking at her.

"My family, my love. My dear family..." Michael said, before colasping on the bed next to her. Miley just laughed slightly before kissing him on the side of his head.

AN: Well, in the next chapter, Michael and Miley returns home where her road to recovery begins, and Michael is faced with a decision. What will it be? Wait and find out!
