some friends already. Though he
never said anything, I knew he was worried I would slip back into a
depression like I had for the first two months after the accident.
If it hadn’t been for him, I probably never would have gotten out
of that funk and I was glad that he was happy for me. I didn’t want
him to worry about me, especially since I’d made so much
progress.
    When we got home, we went our separate ways; me
to take Tonto for a quick late night walk and Jared to the guest
house where he slept. I only took Tonto around the block and then
went back home to go to bed. As I fell asleep, I had a smile on my
face. I was happy, and that was something to be proud of after the
hell I’d been through in the past year.
     

Chapter four
     

    I went shopping with Rachel on Sunday and ended
up having a lot of fun. It’d been awhile since I went out with
someone that wasn’t Jared or Liam, and I enjoyed the girl time. She
tried to pry me for a little more information on my past, but I
dodged the questions and she quickly understood that I didn’t want
to talk about it. After that, we talked about almost everything
else and we ended up laughing quite a bit. The trip managed to take
my mind off the fact that I would be seeing my brother in the
hospital shortly.
    Unfortunately, the carefree afternoon came to an
end when we parted ways a couple of hours later and I remembered
where I had to go next: the hospital. I drove there and went up to
Jake’s room. My heart clenched as it always did when I saw him
there, but I resolutely walked in and sat by the bed.
    “Hey Jake.”
    I sat with him for half an hour, telling him
about the rest of my week. I’d heard somewhere that people in comas
could sometimes hear the people around them, so every time I saw
him I made sure to catch him up on my life. If he ever did wake up,
I wanted him to have every chance at knowing what had happened
while he was unconscious. I knew the chances of him waking up were
slim to none, but I refused to let go of the tiny ray of hope that
I still had.
    I drove home and immediately decided to take
Tonto to the park before dinner. We went to the field we usually
went to and I tossed the Frisbee for him for about twenty minutes
before turning to leave. When I saw Blake sitting at his usual
bench, I decided to go and say hello before I left. Tonto followed
along behind me as I walked to the bench and he perked up a little
when he saw the dog at Blake’s feet. I told him to behave though,
so he didn’t approach the other dog. I sat beside Blake and
stretched my legs out in front of me. “Hey,” I said.
    He sighed. “Am I not allowed to have a peaceful
day without you badgering me?”
    I made a face at him, even though I knew he
couldn’t see me. “There’s no reason to be so rude. I was just
saying hi.”
    “Fine, hi. Now go away.”
    I shook my head and laughed a little. “No, I
think I’ll just stay here. It’s a beautiful day and I don’t feel
like being cooped up in the house.”
    He groaned and let his head fall back against
the back of the bench. “Then go bug someone else.”
    “Oh get over it. I won’t bug you; I’ll just sit
here quietly with my dog. You can go back to ignoring me.”
    He scowled but didn’t say anything else. I
pulled out my phone and started playing a game, content to just sit
in the silence. Fifteen minutes later, Blake finally blew out a
breath and turned in my direction. “Why are you still sitting
here?”
    “I told you, it’s a nice day.”
    “Yeah, but why did you decided to sit next to
me.”
    I shrugged and continued playing my game. “Being
alone can be boring sometimes.”
    “So you’d rather sit beside someone who clearly
doesn’t want you here?”
    I turned my attention to him fully. “If you
didn’t want me sitting here, you would have gotten up and walked
away.”
    He opened his mouth to reply and then shut it
again with a frown. I was feeling rather smug about rendering him
speechless as I
