Coma 
by Spitfire



The last thing I remember is arguing and wrestling around with Ashley. She got
mad at me and stormed out of my room, down the stairs and out of the house.
She put her Walkman on and started walking up the street. I ran after her
yelling, but she couldn't hear me. I got within a few feet behind her when
suddenly I saw a car run off the road and jump the sidewalk. The car was
headed straight for her. I pushed her out of the way and that was the last
thing I remember before waking up to a bunch of tubes running in and out of me
and hooked up to a bunch of wires.

As I gradually came to, I could hear this woman yelling Tommy, Tommy (my name)
and calling for the nurse. A few weeks had past since that day and I found out
that I had suffered from severe head trauma and went into a coma for the past
6 years. The car I pushed Ashley away from had apparently hit me. A drunk
driver had been driving it and Ashley walked away without a scratch. While I
was in the coma she waited at my bedside every day for me to wake up since it
happened. Throughout my whole recovery, she had been there. She was even the
first person I saw when I woke up. I just didn't recognize her at first
because she had aged 6 years. It was like she was an 11 year old just like me
and then I woke up the next day and she was a 17-year-old woman!

Eventually when I was able to check out of the hospital, I couldn't get used
to the world again! It was like the whole world was upside down to me!
Everyone I knew was grown up. I on the other hand hadn't grown much while in
the coma. I was considered a fairly tall kid in my class at 5' when I was 11
but now even the shortest person in my class is 5'6"! Like I said I had grown
very little while in the coma and I'm now only like 5'1 to 5'1 ½ ". My muscles
had atrophied so badly that even after 8 months of physical therapy and
recovery I still probably weighed only about 90 lbs. I voiced this concern to
the doctors and asked them if I'd grow anymore and they said it was very
doubtful. They told me that I had missed my growth spurt during the time I was
in a coma and I was just lucky to be alive. Lucky indeed! I come from a very
tall family and I would have been tall myself if this hadn't happened! Even my
13-year-old sister Kandi towered over me at 5'8". I guess I shouldn't have
been such a jerk to her! The worst part is that I remember her saying that one
day she would be bigger than me and she would get me back! For a long time, I
lived in constant fear of her, but she never did anything to hurt me! I guess
she felt bad about what had happened to me.

Ashley on the other hand was now 6' and about 175 lbs. I remember her being a
few inches shorter than me before and now I was only shoulder height to her!
That took a lot to get used to because I used to tease her, wrestle with her
and pin her down too. There wasn't not really much chance of that happening
now!

Well now I had to deal with going on with the rest of my life. All of my old
friends were now graduating that year and they have all outgrown me mentally
and physically. Whenever I tried to hang out with them they treated me like I
was still a little kid! That fall I started the 6th grade again. That was just
too much of a struggle. I was 2 grades behind my taller, little sister! I'm
the same size, maybe a little bit shorter than most of my new classmates, but
they will all most likely outgrow me also! I didn't want to have to go through
all of this again. I don't fit in with them either. They talk about Pokemon
and a bunch of stuff I think is stupid. They like rap music and I like hair
bands. No one in my class has even heard of Cinderella! After a few weeks of
being a 17-year-old guy sitting with a bunch of 11 year olds, I begged my
parents to let me do home schooling.

I especially didn't like gym. I still wasn't that strong, in fact I was the
weakest, even out of the girls, in my class. And I didn't want to be the first
17 year old in my school's history to get his ass kicked by an 11- year-old
girl!

Ashley had volunteered to help teach me because she felt indebted to me
because of what had happened. She felts that she owed her life to me and
wouldn't even be alive if I hadn't pushed her out of the way. It was OK at
first because she seemed just like any other teacher I ever had. Then my
hormones started kicking in. Ashley would wear the same clothes any other girl
her age would wear and she looked really hot in them! She started to become
aware that I was attracted to her. One day I informed her that I would have a
test tomorrow for the state to advance into the 7th grade. I told her part of
this test was on Biology. She was teaching me the medical terms for all the
body parts. Now being 11 you may think or even profess you know about sex, but
you don't! Ashley was obviously more knowledgeable on the subject. I mean she
was almost an adult! She was going over reproduction and I had made some smart
comments to her that kind of perturbed her. I reached over and grabbed her
breast. She grabbed my hand and told me not to do that again. Then I started
to get a hard on and was trying to be Mr. Smooth. I put my arm around her and
leaned in to kiss her. She threw the book on the floor and pushed me down off
of bed. Man, she was so strong! When she pushed me I just flew off the bed!
Then she panicked because she didn't mean to do it so hard. She grabbed me and
picked me up to my feet. She just picked up like I was a rag doll! Hard on
instantly gone! She looked down into my eyes and said she was so sorry and
asked me if I could ever forgive her. I told her it was OK, I know she didn't
do it on purpose and I was out of line! She was so upset that she had to go
home.

Later that week I took my test for the 7th grade and passed. My mom was so
happy that she told me she wanted to celebrate. She said that maybe we could
see about getting my drivers license soon! I was really happy about that! She
told me she would treat Ashley and me to a movie on Saturday to show her
appreciation for all of our hard work. I told Ashley about it and she sounded
pretty happy about it. She seemed to be a little wary though, due to what
happened but she accepted the movie offer. She picked me up that Saturday to
take me to the movies. She wanted to see an R rated movie that you had to be
17 or older to get into. The usher stopped us at the gate and said to Ashley,
"Hey you can't bring your little brother in here, sorry!" I got so pissed! I
told him look #$$&*&^ I'm not her little brother, I'm her date!" I then showed
him my State I.D. Card. He laughed and said, "Nice fake I.D. kid! Now beat
it!" I caused quite a commotion and the manager came out. I told him the
situation and he had recognized me as being the kid who just came out of the
coma from the papers. He told the guy to let us in and then he apologized. The
usher just stood there in amazement as we walked by. Once in the theater,
Ashley commented on what I had said, "So, I'm your date, huh!" I sat through
the whole movie with no comment and didn't try anything like I did in my room
the other day. This was mostly for the fear of getting the crap beat out of
me!

I wanted her so bad, she looked so hot! I was so frustrated! On the drive home
we started talking. Finally I got up the guts to let her know what was on my
mind. I said, "Look Ashley! Before this entire coma stuff happened, you were
my girlfriend. You had been living your life and your feelings probably have
changed about me. I however, still feel the same way I did 6 years about you.
I have accepted that you've changed.

I still can't change the way I feel about you. I don't know why all of this
happened and I don't know why you don't still love me. Is it because I'm so
much littler than you now?

I may look like an 11 year old, but in my head I'm your age and I.She stopped
me there. She put her finger to my mouth and lightly said, "Shush. I do still
love you, but in your condition I'm so afraid I'll hurt you. Yes you are the
same age, but I have aged and you just kinda didn't. I owe my life to you and
would never do anything to hurt you. I just don't think you are ready for an
adult relationship yet." I asked her well when do you think I'll be ready? You
know I'm not going to get any bigger, if that's what you're waiting on! It was
a long ride back home and she dropped me off.

The next day she came over to help tutor me in my studies and help me study
for my driver's license. I couldn't take looking at her any longer and leaned
over to kiss her. This time she didn't try to stop me! She kissed me back and
I definitely didn't expect what happened next! She grabbed my hand and placed
it on her breast. From there one thing lead to another and let's just say
after a few seconds, I was no longer a virgin! Over the next couple of months,
she was very patient with me sexually. And if I say so myself, I had become a
very good lover! At first I thought she was just doing it out of guilt or
sympathy. I asked her if she was and she just laughed. She looked at me and
said, "Do you remember what we were arguing about the day you were hit?" I
just shook my head no. She continued, "I said you'd better stop teasing me
because we would probably get married someday and that I was going to grow up
bigger and stronger than you; then you'd be sorry. Do you remember?" Suddenly
I remembered that day! I told her she would never be bigger or stronger than
me and then we started wrestling. I pinned her on the bed and made her kiss
me. She got so mad; she nailed me in the balls and ran outside. She said after
our date at the movies she had done a lot of thinking. She still loved me too,
but she was afraid what the other kids in school would say to her if we had
gotten together. Apparently they had been saying things to her about being
with me. Then she said she realized she didn't really care! We still loved
each other and that's what mattered. Well to make a long story short, Ashley
asked me to the prom and we went; I even drove! She wore a gorgeous dress and
4" heels! We were quite a picture to say the least! It wasn't as bad as either
of us thought it would be, in fact most of my classmates cheered us on as we
slow danced. We were voted cutest couple. What a long, hard journey trying to
get back to normal, though I doubt if it ever will be normal again! I studied
hard, learned very quickly and was able to test out of the 12th grade in 4
years. I started college 4 years after Ashley and completed my doctorate at
the same time she had. After college we both got married and we now live in
Palm Springs, CA. My "little" sister Kandi is now 6'3"and Ashley quit growing
at 6'1". They both constantly remind me how much bigger and stronger they are
compared to me! Apparently what they had both prophesized had come true!

P.S. If you're ever in Palm Springs and you see a tall, gorgeous brunette
walking with a short little, skinny guy that looks like a kid, you may think
twice about whether or not this story is true!
