{36} Waking up
A Y O
I drove as fast as I could to the hospital, pulled up at the parking lot and ran faster than my legs could carry to Logan's room. I barged in only to be pulled back by a nurse. "I'm sorry but you can't be in here. Please wait outside." She instructed. A doctor and some nurses were in the room and over Logan as the monitor flat lined. They tried to bring his pulse back with a defibrillator but the stupid monitor just kept flat lining. I slid down the wall outside the room and placed my hand over my eyes in frustration.
'I'll kill you if you die on me.'
'Technically, you can't cause he's already dead.'
"Ayo? Are you alright, love?" I raised my head up to see mum in her lab coat. She sat beside me on the waiting bench and gave me an awry smile. "Logan would be fine, believe it." (A/N: reference, anyone? Lol)
"Please hold me." I stretched out my hand. She looked at me with a questioning gaze before softening her eyes and taking my hand. Immediately she did, visions of spilling blood and loud gunshots came to view and I jerked my hand away from hers harshly. "I'm sorry." I panted.
"Do you want to see a psychiatrist?" She asked and I shook my head solemnly.
"I'll be fine, I promise." I assured and decided not to tell her that my inner was back or else she would worry. The doctor came out of the room at last and gave us a small smile. To say I was relieved is an understatement, I was beyond relieved. Mum squeezed my shoulders and told me to go and talk to him while she went back to work.
I entered the room and closed the door behind me. The monitor was beeping steadily now. He still had the nasal canulla and chest tube on as he couldn't breathe on his own yet but he was still pretty much the same. I took a seat next to him and watched as the green light from the monitor fell and rose again like the tides.
"You... Why did you do that?" I asked. The beeping sound of the monitor was my answer and I sighed. Doctors say that people in coma and even babies in the womb can hear what you say to them but is he listening? "If you're really listening," I whispered. "Then open your eyes and wake the hell up."

"The moon is shining in the sky, such a wonderful sight
The owl is flying in the sky when you're sleeping at night
Star dust is sprinkled everywhere to give you happy dreams
Of little pixies, elves and angels with happiness full to the brim
To give you any dream you want, whatever it might be
So when you're about to fall asleep, don't forget to dream of me..."
The woman with the beautiful voice tucked her five year old son to sleep and kissed his forehead. There was another person in the room...one he couldn't make out with his eyes. Who is it?
The boy was awoken by a series of noises in his room. He sat up and saw the woman falling onto the ground and covered with red liquid his small mind recognized as blood. Somebody else was inside the room, who is it? His screams were cut short by immense darkness...he was back into the darkness. He tried to move but he could not. He tried to speak, to reach out to somebody, but he couldn't no matter how hard he wished for it. Memories of his mother's death plagued him and the mystery of the other person in the room ate him raw. He felt like he knew who it was and at the same time, he didn't.
"You... Why did you do that?" He heard a voice ask. Do what? What did he do? "If you're really listening," The voice whispered. "Then open your eyes and wake the hell up." Wake up? Open his eyes? How would he do that? He wanted to leave this dark place, he wanted to wake up!
Logan's eyes slowly peeled open as he took in his environment. Everywhere was dark and an irritating beeping noise disturbed his ears. He felt like a mountain was dropped upon his whole body and his whole system was on fire. There were irritating tubes and wires stuck to his body but he didn't have enough strength to raise his hand to remove them.
Above everything else, he needed water but nobody was around to help him. It was night time, he figured. He could keep his eyes open no longer as sleep took him over. How funny, he felt sleepy when he just woke up.

"What?!" I sprang up from my bed and dashed to the bathroom and took a quick shower and brushed. I pulled on a white shirt on a greenish - brownish camo jacket on jeans ripped at the knees and hastily slipped on some boots and ran out the house only to come to my senses and go back to lock the door before dashing to my car and driving to the hospital. I can't believe it! I really can't believe it!
My parents had left for work, leaving me at home alone, so I decided to sleep some more after breakfast. I didn't tell mum that I didn't brush my teeth before eating but that would be a secret between us, okay? Yes, mum nags me to brush before breakfast but what's the use?! I brushed last night, it's not like I'm eating in my sleep!
I was having a weird dream that I was an anime character when my phone started ringing beside me. I sleepily picked the phone and answered without looking at the caller ID. From the voice, I recognized mum on the other end and moaned in annoyance to the phone. I was supposed to volunteer for the hospital today but it was around noontime so I had lots of time to prepare. It's not even nine yet, why is she calling me?!
"Logan... Logan is awake!" I sat up on my bed and flung the blanket aside.
"What?!" I asked just to be sure that I heard right.
"He woke up last night according to records and he is awake right now. Isn't this great?!"
I pulled up at the parking lot and ran into the hospital to Logan's room to see his doctor performing some tests on him. He was really crazily awake! I can't wait to tell the clique! Oh God! Oh God! Oh God! The doctor finally left the room and I, calming my nerves, took a seat.
His green and blue eyes followed my movements and he raised his hand, which I took in mine. He was trying to say something but I shook my head, tears falling from my eyes, and smiled. "Whatever it is, I would listen to it when you get better." I laughed a bit. "I would still kill you for the stunt you pulled, young man." I scolded like a father does to his child.
He looked away guiltily and tried remove his hand from my grip but I held it in place and turned his wrist upwards. "Really? Tried to kill yourself." I whispered as I ran my thumb over the scar that had formed over it. "Scarlet would also give you a beating." I laughed when he groaned at the mention of Scarlet's name. "But I would be the one to kill you. We can't have one of us dying anymore." I placed his hand down and decided to call the clique. "See how many people that actually want you alive, idiot."
I called Scarlet first since she knows about how he tried to kill himself. "What?" I rolled my eyes at her rude response and placed the phone on loud speaker.
"Logan is awake, he woke up last night."
"Hn. I am coming back to Beast ville tomorrow." She said and Logan groaned again when sounds of shuffling was heard from the other line and she cut the call. I chuckled and called Sharon next.
"*yawn* Ayo, it's friggin nine am. This must be good!" Came Sharon's sleepy voice through the phone.
"Oh it is Sharon, Logan woke up!"
"Yeah..." There was a second of silence as I counted down from three to let the message sink into her sleepy skull. "WHAT?! YOU MEAN HE WOKE UP?! WHEN? HOW? NO WAIT...GOD I'M SO HAPPY! I GOTTA TELL JORDAN, BYE!" She cut the cut and I immediately dialed Jordan before she could ruin the moment.
"Yo! Jordan speaking." Came his voice from the other end of the line. I told him about Logan. "What?! No way! When did that happen? Say hi for me."
"I will." I cut the call and looked at Logan who had glossy eyes already. I called everybody in the gang and their reactions were the same, happy. My ears till hurts from how loud Don yelled. Phyllis broke down in happy tears, April broke something because I heard a crash while Bryan started laughing like a maniac. Sean and Nata screamed into the phone until Nata started crying and Sean started to console her, and I called Crystal last. Even if she didn't know Logan, she joined us in praying and wishing him well.
"He's finally awake huh? I would finally see how he looks like. Say hi for me and tell him that a really hot white haired polar bear named Crystal thinks he is awesome. See you after the long vacay, bye!"
I smiled at Logan as tears fell from his eyes. We have cool friends, yeah I know. There was a knock and mum came inside the room and kissed Logan's forehead. "Hey there soldier." She smiled and took his stretched out hand to give a small squeeze. Dad came later in the afternoon to visit while I went for my volunteer work. I am glad, I am so damn glad.
