(This chapter will be told from twenty's POV)

I wake up, I can't really see but I see enough to notice I'm in a hospital.
"Where am I?" I ask .
Everything is still blurry.
"He's awake." I hear someone say.
The doctors come in the room they're all touching me and checking everything.
"I'll give you guys some time." The doctor says walking away.
I grab my head because it hurts and I try to focus so I can see.
"Baby , are you okay?" I hear a woman ask.
That voice is so familiar.
I open my eyes and I see .
"Mom?" I ask confused.
"Yes baby I'm here." She says.
"You're not- no that's impossible." I say.
"What?" She asks.
"You were dead." I say.
"No I've been here right by your side this entire time." She says.
"How long have I been here?" I ask.
"Twenty you've been in a coma for almost two years." She says.
I sit up shocked.
"What?!" I ask.
"You were in a terrible accident with your friends in the woods something attacked you and they had to put you in a coma." She says.
"No no that's not true." I say.
"Yes baby it is." She says.
"Dad?" I ask.
"I'm here." He says.
"Where's step mom?" I ask.
"Who?" My dad asks.
"No no no." I say as I rip my IV out and run to the bathroom.
You're just dreaming twenty I say to myself as I splash cold water on my face.
Why am I not waking up.
I smack myself . Wake up.
Nothing happens and I definitely felt that smack.
I walk back to see my mom and dad.
"You need to sit back down twenty I know this is a lot." My mom says.
"A lot? No you don't know a lot." I say.
"This isn't real." I say freaking out.
"He wouldn't leave me." I say.
"It was real." I yell as I start to cry.
"You must've been having a dream twenty while you were in your coma." My mom says.
"No it was real it was real, I know it was." I say as I start screaming.
The doctors come in and try to calm me down but I fight them.
They give me a shot to make me go to sleep.

I wake up again.
"How are you?" My dad asks.
No how am I still here where is Atlas.
"Atlas! Caleese! Somebody." I yell.
"Who?" My dad asks.
"Ugh get me out of here I need to go I need to go back." I say.
"Calm down twenty." My dad says.
I realize that maybe it was all a dream I mean my mom is here, no stepmom. No powers no burns. No anything. I know I can't say anything else about the other world they'll put me in a mental hospital or something.
"Yeah you're right it was a dream." I say.
"They wanna keep you here for a few more days to make sure everything is okay." My dad says.
"Where's mom?" I ask.
"She went to get you some food." My dad says .
She comes back.
"Can I hug you?" I ask her.
She hugs me and I just can't let go I start crying.
"I've missed you so much baby." She says crying too.
This may be the first time I'm ever thinking this but I can't eat right now.
"What have I missed?" I ask.
"Nothing we've been here the entire time." They say.
"Oh right." I say.
"You need to eat." My mom says.
"I don't really have much of an appetite right now." I say looking away.
"That's okay." My mom says.
I look at everything and I see my bag.
"Can you hand that to me?" I ask my dad.
"Yeah sure." He says handing me my bag.
I look inside for anything any clue something left behind but I don't see anything.
Not even my sword. And I always kept it there.
"Your friends are here to see you." My dad says.
"Who?" I ask.
For a split second I thought maybe in my tiny glimpse of hope it would be who I wanted it to be. But it was Ash and Braden.
"Twenty?" Ash asks.
"Hey." I say.
"I've felt so guilty I haven't stopped thinking about you, I know what happened is my fault." Ash says.
"No it's not." I say.
"I feel responsible too." Braden says.
"Don't.." I say.
"I've had some .... cool experiences , while I was in my coma." I say smiling.
"So you're not mad at us?" Braden asks.
"No of course not." I say hugging them.
"We've missed you." They say.
"I can't wait until you get to go home and we can play cards like old times." Ash says.
"I missed you guys too." I say.
I'm smiling. For a second I forgot everything.
Then I remembered and I went back to being sad again.
I see Luna come in.
"Luna? What are you doing here?" I ask.
"I felt bad about what I did I wanted to say sorry." she says.
"It's okay." I say.
"We've actually been hanging out with Luna while you've been asleep, yeah she's crazy and mean but you get used to her." Ash says laughing.
She nudges him.
"Yeah we've been hanging a lot." Luna says.
"Nothing is fun without you thought of course." Ash says.
"Mhm I'm sure." I say .
I'd they knew what I was doing.
I missed them though.
"And I was wondering,-" Luna says.
"Go on." Ash says pushing her.
"If maybe you wanted to go out sometime? After you feel better of course." She says smiling.
"Aw Luna that's so sweet." I say. she smiles.
"But I'm a married man." I say smirking.
Her face drops.
"Oh." She says walking away.
"But- I wouldn't mind being friends." I say stopping her.
She runs back and hugs me.
I've gotta stay faithful to my girl.
The boys laugh.
"Ahah what's funny?" I ask.
"Nothing "married man"." They say mocking me.
"Yeah yeah keep laughing but I'm not kidding." I say.
"Sure." They say laughing.
"I'll tell ya all about it once I'm better." I say smiling.
"Please." Luna says.
"I will." I say laughing.
"We've gotta go home but we can't wait till you're out we'll be waiting for you." They say leaving.
"Bye." I say waving.
I notice my dad fell asleep.
I laugh.
I feel so normal. It's nice. But not what I want.
I just can't believe everything was a dream it felt so real, I'll never forget it.
"Hey mom I have a question?" I say.
"Yes hunny?" She asks.
"I wasn't missing at all? Not even for a little while?" I ask.
"No you've been here this entire time." My mom says smiling.
"Good to know." I say fake smiling back.
None of this makes sense to me.
I turn on the tv and the news comes on.
It says "Florida man arrested for killing an entire group of people down in Miami" it shows the man being taken away by police .
"Hey turn it up." I say to my mom.
She turns it up.
"That man looks so familiar." I say.
"Oh really?" My mom asks.
"Looks like-" I say before I stop myself.
"Who?" My mom asks.
"Never mind it's not him." I say.
The guy looked just like Saska.
Guess it all really was a dream if it were real Saska would be dead.
I killed him.
"Baby you should get some rest, it's dark." My mom says.
"Okay mom ." I say.
I try to sleep but I can't so I just lay there and fake it.
I notice my mom fell asleep.
So I lean up and just watch tv for a while I look at the clock it's 1 am.
It's getting late I should actually try to sleep now.
I turn over but I just can't sleep. I turn over to the other side. Out of the corner of my eye I see a shadowy like figure. It's a man . I only got a glimpse of him but I saw his face, hair, and clothes. I freeze for a minute, It was Atlas. I know it.
