Lillian shook her head. She squeezed Darren's hand as she heard what was going to happen to him. The whole ordeal was scary.

"Okay then, I'm gonna let you two alone. Just remember to call someone as soon as we wakes up, okay?"
Lillian nodded. She looked at the time, it was getting late. She turned back to the doctor, "When do visiting hours end?"
"They don't end for family with loved ones in ICU." The doctor smiled at her.
Lillian let out a small sigh. She glanced back at Darren, "Thank you."
"No problem." The doctor said with a smile before leaving the room.
Lillian looked back to Darren. She knew it was going to be a long night.
Minutes turned into hours and eventually, Darren’s grip around Lillian’s hand grew tighter. He turned his head slowly and peered at her through squinted eyes.
Lillian let out a happy cry as she felt pressure on her hand. She smiled, "Welcome to the world of the waking sleepy head. Miss nurse he's awake!"
Darren smiled at Lillian but said nothing. A nurse came in to check his reflexes and shine a light in his eyes again. She said he was okay and that she'd get the paperwork saying when he can leave. With that, she left.
Lillian looked at him, "How are you feeling?"
"Fine." Darren said as he raised a hand to touch his gauze.
"D-do you remember me?" Lillian asked the question with a quiet shaky voice. She didn't want to just assume he knew who she was.
Darren hesitated for a moment before smiling, "Of course I know who you are."
Lillian let out a sigh of relief, "C-can you say my name? Just so I know for sure."
Darren's smile faded, "You-ummm- You're Lillian." He smiled proudly.
Lillian smiled, "Yeah I'm Lillian. What else do you remember?"
"About you?" He looked at her questioningly.
Lillian shrugged, "Whatever you want."
"I remember I love you. I remember I have a very important football game to be at. I also remember the musical, we're doing my favorite, 'West Side Story' and you and me have the lead parts." He smiled.
Lillian smiled back, "Yeah. And I love you too. I'll stay by your side."
He smiled and the nurse came back into the room. "You are free to go tonight,"
"Really?" Darren looked amazed. "As the paper reads Mr. Anderson you may go."
Lillian smiled, "Well let's go. I'll drive you home."
Darren got up slowly, he was incredibly unsteady and it took him forever to even get to the door of the hospital room.
Lillian took his arm and lifted it over his shoulders to help steady him, "We'll take it slow and steady okay?"
