The boy next door

Chapter 16

I wanted to leave the hospital so bad. But if Brent woke up while I was gone. He would probably never take me back for not being there for him.

I sat next to his bed. I was hungry and tired. I haven't gotten much sleep lately. My mom knew where I was and it was summer break so I was good from school.

This is how I'm spending my summer break. Sitting, alone, with my comatose boyfriend. Could I even still call him that?

Best summer break ever. Not.

I decided to go get food. When I got down there, Tyson was there. Why was he there?

I went over to him. He was all alone.

"Hi, Tyson. Why are you here?"

He held back a cry. "My parents were in a car crash. They couldn't see because of the rain. Why are you here Mia?"

"Brent was in a car accident. Someone hit him."

"Oh. Him." I could see the jealousy in his expression.

"Yeah. He's in a coma and has a broken leg and arm."

"Oh. That sucks for him and you."

"Yeah. I've been here forever."

"Same."

"We should hang out since it's going to be a while since they wake up."

"Yeah, we should."

"Yeah. I haven't eaten since like 3 days ago."

"Same here."

"I'm going to get food. I'll talk to you in a second."

"Okay."

I now knew that if I needed anything, I would have Tyson. I mean yeah it would be weird talking to the guy who has a huge crush on me but oh well, he's a person. A really nice person, so it would all work out.

My thoughts kept coming back to Brent. Was he going to wake up? If he woke up would we still be us? Would we still be okay?
