Maria POV

I visited Aaron and James several times.

They can not die like that.

They are too good to die so.

Aaron is the first person who helped me find me and James also supported me.

Peggy helped me manage my emotions. I cried a lot these temples. My two best friends are in the hospital.

I did everything to look strong in front of Thomas, but deep down I'm like him. I wonder what will happen.

If they will forget me.

It's been several months since I and Peggy are together and I feel like she knows me better than anyone.

We live in an apartment.

We are pretty happy like that.

There now, I'm sure our bed in Peggy's arms. I love her hugs. They are really nice.

I love her so much. I could not live without her.

"Maria?" Asks Peggy.

"Yes?" I ask.

"Your phone is ringing," she said. I nod and take it. I look to see that it's Thomas.

"Hello?"

"Hi Maria, I have something to tell you," Thomas said. I'm surprised to hear that Thomas's voice is not sad.

"Yes, what is it?" I ask.

"James is awake," Thomas said. I widen my eyes. I remain a moment motionless.

"Uh ... Hello?" Thomas said.

"We're coming !!!!" I say, shouting with joy. I'm hanging up. Peggy looks at me confused.

"James is awake !!" I said with a smile. She smiles at me and gets up quickly.

"We must not lose a second," she said. She takes my hand and takes me to the living room.

We put our jackets on quickly and go quickly to the hospital.

We go to the ticket office.

"Hello ladies, Is it to see the patient gone 234?" Asks a nurse at glasses who usually sees me coming.

I shake my head.

"No, 284." I say.

She types things on her keyboard.

"Jam .... Oh! Okay. He's already busy with someone, but you can go wait, "she said. I nod and we walk quickly.

We find the door 284.

I knock on the door.

I do not have time to wait.

I open the door.

I see James and is sitting awake. I run to him and hug him.

Peggy also takes him in his arms.

"You scared everyone! I'm so glad you're fine, "I say.

"I knew you'd wake up," Peggy said.

We are moving away. James smiles at us.

"Thank you for being worried ..." James said.

"But you're fine ??? !!! No, but what's this question ?! Of course you're not doing well !!! "

"Maria, breathe," James said. I take a deep breath.

"Are you okay?" I ask. He nods.

"I just have a little headache, but it's okay," he said. I sigh with relief.

"I should call Hercules, he was also seriously worried about you, you know?" Peggy asks.

"Herc is always scared as soon as it concerns the hospital, so it does not surprise me," James said. We started to laugh.

"Thomas, how are you?" Asks James. I look at him confused and turn around to see Thomas holding his head.

"What do you have?" I ask.

"You hit him with the door when you got home," James said. Peggy laughs.

"Oops! I'm sorry Tom, "I said.

"It does not matter," Thomas said.

I notice an empty black box.

I look at James and Thomas.

Thomas has a ring on his hand.

I smile and hopping with joy.

"You're engaged!" I say, shouting with joy.

Peggy looks at James' hand.

"No, there is nothing," she said. I run to Thomas and take his hand to show her. She screams with joy and hops.

James and Thomas laugh.

"Tell me, how did it go !!! I want everything down to the smallest detail, "Peggy said.

"Me too," I said, raising my hand as if I were at school.

They smile and tell us everything.

Herc POV

Laurens made a huge mistake. He told us what had happened.

Sincerely, I will not forgive him if I were Alex, but I'm not him and I do not want to talk to him about it, he already has a lot to endure.

I'm with Laf at Alex's house.

We make sure he gets out of it, but after what happened, it's hard to lose.

James is in the hospital. I hate seeing him badly. He is still the one who managed to get me closer to Laf who is now my boyfriend.

I'm used to seeing him sick, but that's enough.

Alex is on the couch watching TV with us. We managed to tell him out of his job.

My phone is ringing. I watch. It's Peggy.

"Sorry," I say. Alex makes me a sign to tell me that it does not matter.

"Hello..."

"JAMES IS AWAKENED !!!" Peggy said screaming with joy. I widen my eyes and smile.

"It's true ?? !!!" I ask with a smile.

"Yes. Come see him, "Peggy said. I hang up and get up.

"James is awake," I said, smiling. Laf smiles at me.

"I'm happy for you," Alex said with a sad smile. My smile sinks.

"I'm sorry ... do you want to come?" I ask. He shakes his head.

"You can go," he said. I'm grimacing.

"Are you sure?" I ask. He nods. Laf gets up.

"We'll be back soon," Laf said with a smile.

Laf and I go out together from Alex's house to go to the hospital.

Maria POV

"It's so cute !!!" Peggy said, hopping. I take James in my arms.

"I'm so happy for you," I said with a smile.

"Thank you," James said. I digress.

"And ... for Aaron." I ask. James grins and looks away. Thomas puts his hand on my shoulder.

"He ... there was no change," Thomas said. I sigh.

"I just hope everything's going to be fine for him," I said. Peggy takes me in her arms.

I hear the door opening.

"James!"

"Cousin!" James said smiling.

Lafayette and Hercules hug James.

"I'm so glad you're fine," his cousin said, squeezing him tightly.

"M ... me too ... but I'd like to breathe ..." James said muffled by Hercules' embrace.

"Oops sorry," Hercules said as he walked away. Lafayette moves away too.

"Are you okay?" Asks Hercules. James nods.

I'm sure he says "yes" to reassure him.

I see that Thomas puts his hand behind his back. Surely for Hercules not to see the ring.

* After several questions *

James and Hercules speak and speak and ........ speak again and again.

I can not stand it anymore.

I want to talk to him too!

"I'm glad Aaron was here. He knew how to protect you. I hope he'll get better, "said Hercules. I'm watching Thomas. He looks ... upset ... why?

Thomas POV

I could not protect him ... I could not do anything.

Aaron is still here for James.

When James and I separated, he was there for him? At the camp, he was there for him, and for the accident of James ... He is still there!

I clench my fists.

I feel someone taking my hand.

I look who it is.

Maria.

"What's wrong?" Asks Maria. I sigh.

"Nothing."

I ... I still want him to wake up ... I'm really jealous of him, huh?

Pathetic.

I want him to wake up to thank him.

Thanks Aaron for taking care of James.

Aaron POV
