Chapter 168 The Visit

As the nurses changed my bandages, I stared at the ceiling cracks for the next few days. I was mostly bored, so when Tyrone told me that Aria and Mark were coming to see me again, I was tense with anticipation.
After my coma ended, they came to see me for a short while, kissing me haphazardly and Mark restraining Aria while she sobbed uncontrollably that she feared I was going to die. We had some alone time to talk after he sent her to buy coffee for them both.
Unlike everyone else, I was relieved that he didn't make a big deal out of me; instead, he perched on the edge of my bed and filled me in on everything I had missed at school. A flower shrine was outside my locker, and several speeches were made during graduation with good wishes for Tyrone and my health.
