The next week and a half was all the same.
Max was fed through a straw as she recovered, since Dr. Martinez refused to let Dr. Granner move Max in to her clinic.
Dr. Granner stayed around for Max's health.
Angel avoided Dr. Granner as much as she could, but had to stand her to see Max, because Dr. Granner only left to eat. She even slept in Max's room.
Right now, Fang and Angel were both visiting Max, who was better. She wasn't as skinny or pale, and most of her cuts had healed. A few days ago, Dr. Granner completely removed the thing on Max's back, and patched a naked infected hole on Max's wing.
The two just sat there, completely silent, as they watched Max's blank face. Angel had her hand intertwined with Max's and Fang had his hand on Max's knee, looking at her with a rare face that no one saw but Max. Then suddenly....
"Max's hand moved!" Angel exclaimed. Thank God that Dr. Granner was eating right now.
"Don't get your hopes up. Her hand's moved before."
"Shhh!" Angel hushed Fang, a fogged look in her eyes. "Yes, Max. This is Angel holding your hand. Fang's Here too." Angel said. She turned to Fang. "She's waking up. Her thoughts are about now."
Max just laid there, but her hand was returning the grip that Angel was using on her.
"Max, waking up.... I haven't seen you up in almost seven months..." Angel murmured, leaning down, laying her head on Max's arm.
"Mnnn...." Max murmured, gripping Angel's hand tighter.
"Fang, she's waking up! She's waking up!" Angel said, her face bright, a color it hadn't been there since she saw Max die.
Angel lifted her head up, and smiled at Max, as her eyelids fluttered a little. "The room's a little bright, sorry about that." Angel murmured, as Max opened her eyes, and blinked as the light got into her eyes.
Angel looked at Fang, who had a rare smile on his face, as he watched Max wake.
Max's eye were squinted looking between Fang and Angel.
"Max!" Angel exclaimed, and hugged Max tightly. "I missed you sooooooo much!"
"Love you, Ange..." Max murmured, her voice inaudible.
"I love you too, Max." Angel said, tears escaping her eyes.
