It was four weeks since the car accident. Four weeks of Brian's coma and two days since Brian was back home again, in his own house. His mother had talked with the other guys and the family and they had all decided that it would be a good idea to bring Brian back in his own home. They also had decided to live all together in that house, so Brian's mum and dad, and AJ, Nick, Kevin and Howie where all staying at Brian's house. There was always somebody besides his bed, and a nurse who was keeping an eye on him. They had all started talking to him, as if he could answer them. Doctors had told him, that there was a change that Brian could hear him. BSB had decided also to sing Backstreet songs for him, hoping that he would give a reaction.
Nick was sitting in a chair besides Brian's bed. He looked sadly at his friend, who was in the same state already for four weeks.
"Rok, you know what? I really miss you man� I even miss you teasing me," he looked down at his shoes," I hope so much that I can beat you soon again on the basketball court.
Nick sinks back in his thoughts. He remembered how afraid he in since the accident. Every time he wakes up he's afraid that Brian might had died. They all weren't taken it very bad. Everybody in the house looked pale and skinnier then normal. It was also a long time ago since they had really laughed with each other. Nick sighed. He also dreamed weird things. Sometimes he dreamed that Brian was dead and that his ghost came back to hunt him. Almost all his dreams ended with the dead of Brian. Only one dream in these past four weeks made him awake with a happy feeling. He could still remember that dream very well, as if it really had happened.
He walked around in a world that on one hand looked familiar and on the other hand looked different from his own. He walked in a city full of huge skyscrapers and full of people walking around. Suddenly he starts to feel very cold and between all the normal people he notices five longer, dark men. They turn around at the same time and look him right in the eyes. They start to come forward to him and he gets the feeling that he needs to escape, but he is to afraid to move. Suddenly he feels a soft hand on his shoulder and immediately he is in another place.
He is sitting besides a lake, surrounded by trees and other vegetables. In front of him is sitting a beautiful young girl with long brown hair and grey clothes. She wore a chain with a sign that looked like an eye to him, he also saw that she had the same sign tattooed on her right wrist. To him she looked like an elf�.
"You are Nick, don't you?" she says with a soft, and sweet voice.
He can only nod.
She smiles at him. "Hi Nicky. My name is not really important right now, but my message is. I know you are very worried about your friend� Brian," she looks him right in the eyes, "of course I can't tell you to stop worrying, 'cause you simply won't do that, but I can tell you this: Brian is a real fighter and he won't give up that quickly. Always remember that he has a strong faith and that's what you need to find again: faith. If you loose your faith�. Then it's maybe impossible for Brian to find the way back."
"How do you know about Brian?"
She laughs. "I know more about you then you can guess or maybe know by yourself."
"But� I do not understand!"
"And I can't make you understand either, you just have to find faith again."
Suddenly a sound is heard from behind Nick and then he sees a little creature, almost like a dog, running by and jumping against the mysterious girl.
"Moy!" she says laughing, "what are you doing here, crazy?"
"Frrr�go�"
"You are right, Moy," she says to the little creature, "Nick� I have to go again."
"Don't go," he jumps on his feet, "please? I've still got so many things to ask you!"
"Sorry�. Frack," she smiles," I can't tell you more then this. Bye!"
She bents forward and give him a kiss on his cheek. Then she turns around and disappears in the forest. Before Nick gets the chance to follow her�
� he wakes up again. But he can't forget the girl and what she had told him. Since that dream he started to believe again that maybe Brian could survive this, cause he knew about his friend that he was a fighter.
"Nick? Everything okay with you?" Kevin walks in the room and sits down on another chair next to Nicks.
"Yeah, sure� I was just� thinking."
They both fell silent, staring at the figure of Brian lying in his bed. Suddenly Nick's eyes grow bigger.
"KEVIN! BRIAN'S ARM!!!"
They both jump on their feet. "OMG," whispers Kevin slowly.
Brians left arm starts to move. Hesitating and a bit shivering it goes up and then Brian's hand goes to his stomach. He rubs it a little bit and then the moving stops. Nick and Kevin are both looking at Brian, almost in shock. Then they seem to wake up again and Nick starts to scream.
"EVERYONE!!! COME ON!!! BRIAN MOVED!!!"
Kevin bends over to his cousin, to look if he maybe is waking up, but there is no sign of that. Disappointed falls he back in a chair.
In the mean time are the others arrived to the little room. His mother is standing crying besides his bed, while his father is trying to comfort her. AJ en Howie are both looking at Brian's hand that is lying on his stomach. The nurse takes a look at all the equipment that Brian is surrounded with.
"This sometimes happen, especially to people who are in a very deep coma. It can happen again or maybe not. We never know when or why it happens."
