She woke up as I gently stroked her cheek with my thumb. My little starlight blinked a few times before looking at me and pulling away in disgust. “Who- who are you?” She groaned out. I pulled my hand back towards myself. “I’m your- your…” I looked down trying to tell her the best way I could. “I’m your best friend…” My shoulders slumped. I wanted to be so much more than a friend to her…

“My best friend-? But- I didn’t have any friends…”

“You’ve got lots of friends and I’m sure you’ll love meeting them all again.”

“How many?”

“Well there’s Cynthia, Victor, Merrick, Gianna…Em I think? Bella, Cora, Liv and lots of others.”

“Really?”

“Yeah and they’re all waiting for you to get better…”

“So they- are all- worried about me?”

“Very worried and excited to see you” I smiled at her a little.

“Will I remember them?”

“I think you will but even if you don’t- you’ll learn how much they really all love you.”

“Well- okay…”

“Should I tell them to come over?”
