The IVs were removed from my arm and Emelina and Brynn each held onto me tightly. My body had already started shaking. I sat at the edge of the hospital bed, ready to take some more steps. I had to start moving around if I wanted to get out of here faster.
"Okay, just remember to breathe. And don't rush." Emelina stated.
I nodded, feeling my heartbeat in my legs. Brynn's green eyes popped. "Please don't land on me if you fall."
Emelina and I glared at her. "Gee, I'll try not to." I muttered through clenched teeth.
I took a deep breath and slowly rose up off the bed, hanging on to their hands for dear life. Walking felt so foreign to me after laying down for over a month.
Everything felt numb. But I continued placing one foot in front of the other suddenly feeling confident. "Ya know, this isn't half bad."
The door opened while I watched my feet.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"
Brynn's scream pierced my ears. I looked up and what do ya know? A tall boy in a black hoodie with ripped blue jeans and a bookbag stood right in front of the door. His hair looked more curly than usual, almost like he had been walking in the rain, or running.
He was out of breath when he finally spoke. "...Hey Kizzy."

I awoke on the hospital bed.
Whoa. I thought. That felt way too real.
My head was still fuzzy. I sat up, with Brynn and Emelina watching me with wide eyes.
"What happened?" I mumbled, rubbing my face.
Brynn gulped. "Well, um...you sort of fainted."
I stretched. "What? Why?"
"Because you saw Peter standing at the door."
"...What? That's insane. Peter isn't even h..."
I glanced in front of me and there he was standing in front of the bed near the window, hands in the pockets of his hoodie. "Hey."
My stomach flipped and rolled. I looked from him to Brynn to Emelina, and back again.
