Cover: Drake at Emo For One Bit (a fake convention I made.) Almost Out (A short story of Drake getting out of the hospital) I sit in the chair right by Drake's hospital bed. "Do you think he's okay at all?" Simon asks me. I shrug with a frown. "He's been out for a while...I hope he is..." I reply gently. Suddenly, I hear a small, tired groan. I look directly at Drake. "Wha--where--" Stacey perks up. "Drake!" She exclaims. She runs over to her bigger brother but doesn't hug him. "I want to hug you so bad...I don't wanna hurt you though..." She murmurs. "We were so worried about you..." Ey adds. "Darling!" Logan exclaims. "Hi Logan..." Drake replies with a weak smile. "When are you gonna get out you think?" I ask. "Uh...'Bout a week..." Day one: "Amilia...You're awfully silent today." Ey says, gently grabbing my hand. "I want to be the first one to talk to Drake. I want to see if he's okay this morning." Ey chuckles lightly. "That is so sweet of you." I smile at him. "Thanks Ey..." I reply. I lay my head on his right shoulder. Drake finally opened his eyes. "Good morning Drake!" I exclaim. Ey laughs slightly louder. "Morning..." He replies with sleepy eyes. I smile. "Is everything okay?" I ask. "Yep...just six days...I'll finally be able to return back to the apartment..." I lean back in the chair and sigh a sigh full of relief. Day two: Drake is up as soon as we enter the room. "I'm feeling better today...They still won't let me leave." Drake Sighs. "At least you're getting better." Ey says. I Bob my head up and down. "I'm excited when you do, Drake." Stacey says. Drake nods. "Kinda sad I can't see you guys there..." Drake shudders. "You okay, Drake?" Simon asks with slight concern. "Yep. Just the air conditioner." Drake snickers. "I'm fine besides that though." He continues. I go to turn off the AC. "It's the middle of winter...Why would you need the AC? Something's up." Just then, Lily, a caretaker, also our friend walks in. "Well, today's actually your last day, Drake." Drake perks up. "I'm sorry, what?" Lily nods. "Yep. Nurses got it all wrong. Also, before continuing highschool, I gotta finish just today." She adds with a smile. Later... "Ooh, A scar." Drake announces. I smile gleefully. "Well, at least you're coming back with us...With my souvenir..."
