"Were sorry sir, because of the fire Linda was in it had damaged her lungs and has caused a lack of oxygen to the brain and put her in a coma." Said a friendly looking male doctor.

"Will, she ever wake up?" Michael asked standing up.

"Were not sure yet but we'll inform you as soon as we no. You can go and see her now if you like." He smiled and walked away...

"Linda, I'm going to have to go now and get Lexi and go to school but I'll be back straight after okay?" Michael said, but there was still no reply from the sleeping Linda. He got up kissed her and walked out.

"Sir? Is there any news on Miss Radleigh?" Called Phenix.

"No, not yet" Michael replied.

"Well, tell us when there is." Said Scout running up to them and linking arms with Penix. "Were missing her!"

"So are you to going out now?" Michael asked the pair.

"Yeah" Phenix said blushing.

"Aww, young love" Said Michael grinning, but then he thought about him and Linda and the smiled wiped off his face. "Excuse me" He said walking off to the staff room.

"Hows Linda?" Asked Chalky

"Same as last time." Michael sighed, he wished people would stop asking him.

"Well were all praying for her, aren't we guys?" Said Martha their new RE teacher who joined a few weeks ago.

"If you say so!" Said Grantley who doesnt belive in 'all that rubbish.'

Michael was sat doing some paperwork when Tom came in.

"Janice said you've got a call on the other end. She thinks it's the hospital."
"Okay, Thanks" Said Michael picking it up straight away.

Tom waited hoping it was good news but from the look on Michaels face, he could tell it wasn't.

"Tom, would you be able to look after Lexi please." Said Michael worringly "It's the hospital and they said Linda's taken a turn for the worst and I don't want to take Lexi incase.."
"No worries mate, you go ahead." Tom said "Ring me if there's any news okay?" Tom said puting a hand on Michale's shoulder as he walked passed.

"Is she okay? Whats happening?" Michael said running to the room where Linda was.

"Sir, you can't go in there." A doctor said grabbing Michael who was about to go in with Linda.

"Why not? Is she still alive?" Michael asked shacking with nerves.

"Yes, the heart moniter went off but we've pumped up her lungs and fingers crossed she should wake up soon."
"Thank god" Said Michael colapsing in the chair with relief.

The nurse inside with Linda nodded at the doctor and he told Michael he could go see Linda now.

He walked in the room and saw Linda led there, so lifeless and beautiful. His heart broke into a million pecies. He went and sat on the chair next to her and held her hand.

"It's going to be okay!" He said softly in her ear.

A few hours pasted and Michael had fallen asleep with his head resting on Linda's stomach. It was very quiet you could only hear Michael lightly breathing and a little girl down the corridor singing.

Thats when it happened. Linda woke up from her coma and looked around. She was a bit confused but soon it all came flooding back. The fire, the men and her collapsing on the floor. She shuddered. The she looked down and saw Michael led there peacfully still gripping her hand.

She picked it up and kissed it lightly, then Michael awoke and saw Linda's sparkaling blue eyes lokking straight at him.

"Linda!" He said sitting up and hugging her.

"Ouch!" She said.

"Sorry" Michael said letting go slightly "I swear, I'm never letting you go again" He smiled.

"Tought your gonna have to because your hurting me" She said laughing, unwrapping his arms and kissing him.
