Zoe's P.O.V
It was 3 weeks after 'the incident' as it had been referred to and I have been making weekly stop ins to check in on Tom, he was getting better but I hadn't been able to convince him to go see Aneisha but at least he was turning up for school... sometimes. Even though Dan wasn't showing it I knew he was feeling worried about Aneisha and slightly frustrated at Tom for not coming to school.
Dan's P.O.V
Zoe and I were in History with Mr Mc Nabb talking about 2nd world war ...again the last time we were here a gloomy atmosphere was hanging in the room this time is was just miserable. Zoe was paying attention and looking as though she was enjoying the lecture on the trenches, where as me on the other hand I was counting down the minutes until the end of class and the end of school. 35seconds, 34 seconds but then our pencils flashed I looked at Zoe she looked confused it was less than a minute until the end of school but she simply raised her hand and said with only a few seconds until the bell left
"Excuse me Sir; I need to go meet my French tutor,"
And before Mr Mc Nabb got a chance to answer the bell rang and everyone packed up and left.
We arrived at Hq a few minutes later.
"Why did you call us down here Frank?" Zoe asked.
"Aneisha's doctor called, she's awake," Frank said.
"I though he said that it could be up to 2 months for her to wake up," I said curious for the answer.
"I thought so too but if we want more answers he asked us to meet us there," Frank said.
"Let's go then," I said.
We made our way to Frank's car it was a 1978 Holden Commodore. It was about a 25 minute drive to the MI9 hospital.
Once we arrived Frank showed his MI9 pass to the guard at the door and we met with Aneisha's doctor.
"How did it happen, I mean how did she wake up so early," Zoe jumped in before anyone else spoke.
"We aren't quite sure yet, we are still running tests," He said.
"Can we go and see her?" Zoe asked.
"Certainly, but she might be asleep," He replied.
Zoe and I almost ran to her room... almost...almost. When we got there she was asleep. But that didn't stop Zoe from running over to Aneisha's side and holding her hand and softly whispering,
"Aneisha, Neish, wake up I'm here,"
Aneisha didn't really stir at all but that didn't make us leave Zoe sat in the chair by her bed and I lent up against the wall and Frank stood near the door. Frank went to get us some drinks, he'd been gone for a couple of minutes when I heard a noise, croaky and hard to understand it was Aneisha and I could only just make out what she was saying,
"Tom...Tom... Are you there?" she asked.
"No it's just Dan, Frank and I," Zoe said.
"How are you feeling?" I asked.
"Like death," she said sitting up.
"Well that's expected," I said.
"How's Tom?" she asked.
I looked from Aneisha to Zoe this was the question that we were both dreading. We didn't know if she could take the extra weight of his guilt and recovery at the same time. So I simply said
"He's fine," I replied putting on the most honest face.
But I could tell Aneisha didn't believe me,
"I might have just recently woken up from being in a coma, and I might have most of my energy drained from me but I can still read you, if Zoe had answered then maybe not so just answer the question, please," she pleaded.
"He's been to school twice since the incident, I don't think he's touched anything except for the television remote and Zoe's been practically giving him a therapy session every week just to stop himself from committing suicide," I answered bitterly, "Sorry Neish,"
"Do you want me to make a call," Zoe asked.
Aneisha didn't do anything but nod.
Zoe's P.O.V
Okay I kind of lied to Aneisha I was going to do more considering it didn't take me long to walk to Tom's I was going to get him myself. As soon as I was outside the hospital I ran to Tom's and knocked on the door. Tom opened the door and he looked as though he normally did recently in his pj's hair not brushed and looking terrible.
"Aneisha's awake and you're going to see her," I said.
He looked surprised and shocked.
"I thought you said that the Doctor said that it would be almost 2 months before there was much change," He said.
"He did but she is awake, so get changed and brush your hair because I'm dragging you out of here in 5 minutes," I said.
Tom walked upstairs and came back down in 4 dressed and hair brushed and was that a smile on his face he was like his old self.
"Who are you and what have you done with the suicidal depressed guy living up there?"I asked.
"I think he jumped out the window, I'm not sure," he said.
"Come on lets go I said I was calling you not dragging you there myself," I said.
"Okay," he said.
We left his house and started walking I would have been running if I hadn't of had Tom with me.
"Isn't she going to hate me?" Tom asked.
"I don't think she would of asked me to call you if she wanted to slap you across the face," I said, "Plus when she was waking up she was saying your name,"
We continued walking and talking for a few minutes until we reached the entrance and both showed our MI9 passes and before we got to Aneisha's room Tom stopped
"I'm not sure I can do this," Tom said.
"Of course you can," I said.
I went inside Aneisha's room with Tom trailing behind me.
"Dan do you want to help me come find Frank?" I asked.
He nodded leaving Tom and Aneisha alone for the first time since the accident.
