I won't. [ Said quickly, but resolute in it's promise all the same. Not the least of which because Lucas and El would kill him, but also because he's been hoping for a chance like this. A chance for him to say all of the things he never told her before. No, they aren't exactly close, but she's become part of the party, all the same. He may not have been her biggest fan in the beginning, but he's seen her missing El as much as he has, even if it's been from afar. He should've reached out to her. He shouldn't have let her pull away from all of them, but he'd thought maybe she needed some space. He'd never thought he'd come back from California to her in a coma.] He still has her letter tucked away in-between the pages of Lord of the Rings because he'd never been able to bring himself to read it. It would've felt too much like giving up.]
[The nurse makes her appearance, a look of surprise crossing her face, as if she'd thought Mike was trying to pull some dumb prank on her. She fusses over Max and gives him a dirty look when he doesn't let go of Max's hand and move out of her way. She promises to contact her doctor and her mother and then leaves them alone again, the room oddly quiet. Mike wants to tell her how glad he is that she's awake, but instead the question that's repeated itself over and over again in his mind slips out. At least it doesn't sound as accusatory as it could, it just sounds tired. ] Max, what were you thinking?
