I can't move. Why is it dark everywhere? Am I dead? Is this hell?

I can hear some voices. One very familiar one.

"She's not awake today either."

"How long doctor? Will she ever wake up?"

"I'm not sure. There's a 50% chance of her getting up."

I felt someone sigh beside me and then heard the door close.

I felt something or more specifically someone holding my hand.

"Luce....please, please wake up. I beg of you. I can't go one without you. I really need you. Please. Please." I heard someone say. Someone very familiar.

He just called me Luce? I know only one person who calls me that.

Jason.

I heard him sigh before the warmth left my hand.

I felt something warm on my forehead and then on my lips before I heard the door close.

I really wanna open my eyes. But why can't I? Its draining me. Thinking so much, putting so much effort to open my eyes is making me lose my energy.

I shut out all of these thoughts and went into a dreamless sleep again.

I walled towards the house I shared with my friends. I pushed open the door and was greeted by expectant looks but it soon turned into disappointment once they saw my sad look.

"Its been a month already. How long will she be in a coma?" Matchmaker asked.

"We can't do anything about it. She lost a lot of blood. She was on the verge of death. If it weren't for the special healers to help us then I don't think she would be still alive either." James muttered dejectedly.

They all had a forlorn look on their faces.

"Is this the face you'll are gonna show her when she wakes up? What if she wakes up tomorrow? Will you'll still keep that look on your faces? Do you think she'll be happy with that?" I spoke up. I can't stand this anymore. They all are losing hope of her ever waking up. And its just been a month.

"You're right. Instead of moping around, we should prepare things that Lucy likes. We want her to be happy when she returns home." Armour girl said. The others agreed as well.

The rest of the day, the girls spent all their time in decorating Lucy's room and buying things for her while we guys helped them.

It was around night time and we all were in the girls house just sitting on the couch.

My phone suddenly started buzzing and I saw that it was an unknown number.

I picked it up and answered the call.

"Hello, is this Mr Jason Hooke?" Someone asked.

"Yes this is. May I know who this is?" I asked.

"I'm calling from the hospital. Miss Lucy Heartfilia has gained consciousness. If you want you can come and see her." The nurse said. My eyes widened.

"I'll be there!" I quickly said and put on my shoes before rushing towards the hospital.

I pushed open the door of Lucy's room and there she sat looking extremely beautiful even in the hospital gown.

"Lucy..." I began. Her eyes teared up.

"Jason..." She began but I didn't let her complete as I pulled her into a hug not wanting to let go of her.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." I apologized.

"Why are you apologizing?" She asked looking utterly cute.

I rubbed my nose against her, a form of affection dragons did to their mates.

"I hurt you. You are here because of me." I said. "I'm really sorry. So sorry. Please for -" I was cut off when she suddenly kisses me. I kissed her back wholeheartedly missing the feel of her lips against mine.

"Say sorry once more and I'll actually never forgive you." She said frowning. I chuckled.

We heard a cough and turned to see the doctor who has been examining her all this while.

Lucy blushed a deep red not realizing that she kissed me in front of the doctor. I smirked.

"Lucy!!" We turned to see all of our friends. The girls came and hugged Lucy tight pushing me away in the process. I growled at that. The girls seemed least bothered. Damn. These people aren't scared of me anymore. Honestly speaking, not many of them are scared of me now. Especially after Lucy came into this academy.

"Everyone, I know you all are eager to meet Lucy but I still need to run a few tests on her so please go out." The doctor said and we reluctantly left the room. Lucy waved at us with a smile. She then grinned at me. I smirked back.

Its been 3 months since I was discharged from the hospital and I'm doing extremely well now.

A few days after I left the hospital, many people came to apologize for their bad behavior towards me and thank me for saving them too. The kids stuck at AAO are now part of this academy too. They thanked me as well.

I was scolded by Derek and Master a lot though. They didn't want me to risk my life that way. The girls still feel a bit bad for judging me. But it's not their fault. If I was in their position I might've done the same. They bought me so many things as an apology. Lisa even cooked my favorite dishes.

However, Jason feels the worst among them. He thinks its his fault that I had gone into coma. I still have some scars of the burn mark on my face and arms but I don't care. I was able to finish what I planned and I'm now with my loved ones. I couldn't wish for anything more.

I felt two strong arms circle around my waist.

"What are you thinking about, so late at night?" Jas asked giving a kiss on the mark on my neck which he gave me a few weeks back. Yes, we did the deed and I'm his mate now. The mark was like a small dragon in a circle with flames around it. When I first saw it I freaked out a bit but when I looked closer it looked so beautiful. Still fascinates me.

"Nothing much. Just thinking about what happened in the last few months." I answered honestly.

He turned me around. "Don't think about that. All you need to think about is me, you and our future." He said giving me a soft kiss on my forehead. I put my arms around his neck and brought him a bit closer.

"Could tell me exactly what I need to think about?" I asked.

He smirked before kissing me passionately. I pulled him even closer if that was possible, leaving no space between us.
