3 hour later, though it felt longer, the doctors finally got done with the surgery and started to prepare Leslie for a room. They did their best to do what they could for the girl, but now the fight is up to Leslie. While throwing away the gloves and the mask, Doctor Greg grabed his coat and walked his way out the door to see Mr. Burk and Jess.
Jess blinkly opened his eyes, he saw that he sat in a chair with his head on Mr. Burk's shoulder…."Mr. Burk? Why is he here? Where am I?" These thoughts stormed through his head as he tried to remember what happened. Suddenly, as if he was striked with lightning, he remembered all that happened and what he was waiting for. With new tears forming at his dried eyes, he lifted his head to stretch the knots out of his neck.
Feeling Jess lifting his head up, Mr. Burk woke up from a dreamless sleep. While stretching his arms and shoulders Mr Burke looked over at Jess and said, "Your awake."
"Yea." Was all that Jess replied with. Rubbing his teary eyes Jess looked up and down the halls to see any doctors around but found none. He saw nurses heading in and out of a few rooms but that was all the activity going on. "Have you heard anything?" Jess asked, turning his head towards Mr. Burk, hoping that something might have happened.
"No." Mr. Burk replied.
Sighing to himself, Jess got up and walked towards the drinking foutain to water his dry throat. While wiping the escaping water drops from his mouth, Jess saw a tall dark haired man with a white suit on walking towards him. Mr. Burk saw the man too, he walked over to Jess and put a hand on his shoulder, gesturing that he's here for him. With each stomp of those white shoes, Jess's heart pounded faster, and faster. The doctor reach the two and scanned them over. With a last glance, the doctor looked down to his chart and read off the names of his chart.
"Are you Leslie Burk's family?"
"Yes, I'm her father and this is her best friend Jess." Mr. Burk said as he straightened up. Jess noded his head and waited for the moment he's been waiting for al day.
"Leslie made it through suregery."
Jess and Mr. Burke sighed with relief, they both smiled and waited for the Doctor to continue.
"She is in a room now, sleeping. Though I advise you not to wake her just yet. Her room number is 405." With that the Doctor smiled at the men and turned to leave but was caught in the arms of Jess.
"Thanks Doc!"
Doctor Greg smiled and patted Jess's back. "Your welcome son." Jess smiled and stepped back to let the doctor go. Mr. Burk and Jess looked at each other and noded, they both turned around and start towards Leslie's room.
