~*POV Tony*~

2 weeks. Mike has been in the hospital for 2 weeks, and he hasn't woken up yet. None of the doctors no why though. They say that his body was beat up that it's not used to being normal yet, and that could be why. They also say that when he does wake up their could be brain damage because of how long. His parents say that he'll wake up when he's ready, I hope that's soon. I miss him so much.

Everyday after school Vic drives me to the hospital to see him. I stay until visiting hours are over, then Austin comes and picks me up. My aunt and uncle don't speak to me anymore, but they also haven't kicked me out yet, so I'll take it as a victory. Austin thinks they feel guilty about him being in the hospital, and once he's awake they'll get strict again.

Mr. and Mrs. Fuentes are doing really well about this whole thing. They're there everyday of course, but they've managed to stay postive, which I think helps me and Vic a lot.

I have one last plan to help Mike, and it is a bit crazy. They say the coma patients can still hear people talking to them and such. So that's what I'm going to do... In a way.

I was currently in Austin's car, on the way to the hospital. I glanced to the backseat, checking for the millionth time to see my guitar settled safely in its case.

"Nervous?" Austin asked, laughing a little bit.

"I guess," I said, "I don't know why though... Thanks for letting me use on of your songs..." Austin was really into writing songs lately, they were really good... But one of them was perfect...

"No problem cuz!" he said, smiling, "Is Vic going to bring you home tonight? You know I would, but with mom under the weather and dad always working... I just don't want her to be alone, you know?"

"Of course!" I exclaimed, "I'd do the same thing!"

We spent the rest of the car ride in silence, and when I got out Austin said, "Don't be nervous Tone, I can't say if this will work, but it's still a pretty good idea..."

I sighed and walked into the hospital, guitar case in hand. I walked in silence up to Mike's room, ignoring the nurses that asked me about my guitar. When I got there, Vic was the only one in the room.

"They knew you had something planned and didn't want to be in the way," he said, "They should be here soon though... I just didn't want him to be alone, but I'll wait in the hall."

"Thanks Vic," I said, as he walked out.

I pulled up a chair next to the bed and got my guitar out, "Hey Mikey," I said, "I have a surprise for you. You know how you'd nag me to sing for you? Well today I'm going to... My cousin wrote this song, I think it's beautiful, and I really hope you do too."

I caressed the side of his face before starting to play.

Here in this world I'm awaked with mistakes
But it's love that keeps fueling me, fueling me

Pretty little lady with the swollen eyes,
Would you show them to me?
I know I'm not that perfect, but just stay a while
Baby, then you will see...

Miles away I can still feel you lay
Your head down on my embrace, my embrace
Far away...

Pretty little lady with the swollen eyes,
Would you show them to me?
I know I'm not that perfect, but just stay a while
Baby, then you will see...

Don't give up, baby
I know that it's shaky,
Just let love consume us, 'sume us.

Here in this world I'm awaked with mistakes
But it's love that keeps fueling me
Fueling me to love you

Miles away I can still feel you lay
Your head down on my embrace
Be not afraid to love me

Pretty little lady with the swollen eyes,
Would you show them to me?
I know I'm not that perfect, but just stay a while
Baby, then you will see

After the song ended I put my guitar down and wiped the stray tears off of my face and looked to Mike. His eye lids fluttered for a moment before returning still. I grabbed his hand hopefully and whispered, "Mike? Are you in there?"

I swear that he squeezed my hand, but his eyes remained closed and still. I must be hullasinating from lack of sleep and getting my hopes up.

"It's ok Mike," I whispered, letting tears stray from eyes, "If you don't want to come back yet, that's ok. Just please do come back, I need you..."

I felt a defiant squeeze on my hand this time. I looked up to see his eyelids fluttering, before opening slightly. I wanted desperatly to say something, but I was petrified. He closed his eyes again before opening them completely. He stared at me, for what seemed like an eternity, he looked disorientated and happy.

"Tony..." he whispered, a smile spreading on his lips.

"Mike," I said, suddenly able to speak again. I next thing I knew I was on top of him, clutching him tightly, not wanting to let go. I felt tears pouring from my eyes, my Mikey was here.

He grunted quietly, he was probably in pain. I went to pull away slightly, to give him space, but his arms held me down.

"MIKE!" I sobbed, realizing that he was infact here, and he was ok.

FIN.

Notes

And that's a wrap! I'd like to thank you guys for your comments and votes and subscriptions, it means the world to me. I hope you guys will continue to stay with me as I launch into the sequel. Expect chapter one tomorrow, or Sunday at the latest. If you want I'll do what I did with my Kellic and post an Author's Note chapter when the first chapter is up.

In regards to "When You Can't Sleep at Night," yes, I do know that Shayley sang it. But I couldn't find who actually wrote it, and Austin's already a character and Shay isn't. Sorrynotsorry.

I also want to thank you for your kind words and advice regarding what I said in yesterday's update. I think I'm going to do what you guys suggested. Thank so much again. <3
