Cat POV

I screamed, I didn't intend to but his eyes opened so quickly that it completely shocked me. He panicked, he had on an oxygen mask over his mouth and his breath became raspy and haggard, his heart rate sky rocketed. I repeatedly slammed my finger down on the emergency button for the nurse's attention. They came running in and ushered me out of the room.

I ran down the corridor in search of Robbie's family, in particular his father. I avoided the staff that tried to stop me from running and skidding around the corner, straight into Jade. She was carrying two coffees that took off into the air; we fell with them as they cascaded onto the floor like black rain.

"Jesus Christ! Cat, what the hell are you doing?" She exclaimed as she wringed out her top, now splattered and stained brown from the coffee. She studied my face; I was white, my eyes wide and alert. Her face paled.

"Is there something wrong with Robbie?" She asked urgently.

Unable to answer, I tugged her on to her feet and we raced back down to the room. Robbie was now fully awake and aware, and in immense pain. It had finally hit him, the repressed agony that the coma subdued. He was swearing, over-reacting completely. Jade and I watched from the corner of the room as he begged for a sedative, he wanted to go back to sleep, he wanted it to be over.

Robbie's distress was contagious, it spread over Jade and I like a wildfire, she was silent her hand clapped over her mouth in shock. While tears broke free and traveled down my face. The nurses pinned him down on to the bed while Dr. Shapiro injected him. The effect was instantaneous, he head drooped on the pillow as his breathing steadied, his stomach rising and falling with each breath.

Dr. Shapiro set down his needle and the nurses filed out of the room. He finally broke his gaze away from Robbie and noticed that we were in the room.

He frowned at us, "Girls, will you ever learn when you are supposed to be in here?"

"What happened to him?" Jade asked.

"Robbie went into shock when he saw the wound; his panic attack raised his heart rate so I gave him a mild sedative. He should wake back up in a couple of hours."

I loyally went to Robbie side and took his hand, it was clammy and warm but I held onto it like my life depended on it. I watched him sleep, once again for the millionth time. Only moments ago I was performing my routine; first breakfast then to the hospital to visit Robbie to tell him everything that was happening. When I arrived they told me that Robbie had moved his hand so it was only a matter of time that he was going to wake up, excitedly I entered his room. I just hadn't imagined that seeing him wake up would have been that terrifying.

He was here, beside me; mentally and physically. He had looked straight at me, his eyes screaming in agony.

Robbie POV

Everything was a blur of various colours A figure of red stood by my side, I tried to focus, tried to remember why I was here. She screamed as I gasped for air. I felt like a newborn, this mechanism absolutely new and intimidating. I panicked responding to the increasing and rapid beep of my heart rate. She ran off as the nurses arrived. Like an unfocused lens after some tuning my vision became clear and I saw the wound.

Then I recalled the suffering, the sound of the knife as it cut into my skin, the blood, the gallons of blood. I convulsed in pain, my breath quickening. I needed it to be over. I watched as the nurses and familiar doctor crowded me. The raven-haired girl entered the room with a redhead as I was jabbed with an injection. A sense of calm flowed around the veins in my body and instantly made me feel drowsy. My head fell and I stared at the two girls, I had the feeling that I knew them. I had a connection to them but before I could figure out what it was, sleep claimed me.

Cat POV

His wiry hair had become shaggy and had fallen over his eyes, I brushed the hairs aside so I could see his closed eyes.

"What about the next time he wakes up?" I softly asked.

Picking up Robbie chart he noted down the medication he had just supplied to him along with the time that he had regained consciousness.

"Well the pain medication will help and Robbie has gotten over the initial shock so now we can concentrate on ensuring that Robbie will recover completely."

Sighing he glanced at both Jade and I who where obviously still shaken about what we had just seen.

"Girls this is definitely a positive thing, Robbie responded to us, he can hear and see and his arms and legs seem to function properly."

He paused, sizing up the situation, deciding if we were ready to hear this. "It's only his memory that we need to worry about now."

He left in search of Jane and Max to tell them about Robbie's progress. We sat with Robbie, Jade on the opposite side of him, texted Beck and André.

"They are coming now. Do you think he'll be okay?" She asked.

I rubbed my eyes, "I don't know. He saw me Jade when he woke up but I have no idea if he knew who he saw. What if he can't remember? I couldn't stand that."

She shrugged, trying to stay calm, "I guess we will just have to wait and see."

Robbie small private room was soon crowded with guests. The hospital has a limit but Dr. Shapiro didn't say anything so we all remained. We all wanted to be here for Robbie first real awakening. I left Robbie's side when Max and Jane came into the room with André and Beck following suit shortly after. I had become possessive of Robbie and I had to remind myself that I wasn't the only one who cared for Robbie.

Everyone shared stories about Robbie's antics. We were all laughing the atmosphere a complete shift to what it is normally was as soon as stepped into this room. We all had new-found hope.

"Did I miss it?"

"Oh" I gasped, "Hey Mom you didn't need to come."

"No, I wanted to. Robbie is important to you, so he is important to me also." She smiled warmly and wrapped an arm around me, "I'm so proud of you Cat, you have been so strong."

I was about to reply when the incoherent mumbles of an idiotic boy distracted me. Robbie was awake and was staring at everyone here. We all waited with bated breath.

Dr. Shapiro approached him first he held a small torch and shone it at his eyes, "I'm Dr. Shapiro, you have been unconscious for a while, please follow the light with your eyes please."

He complied, performing perfectly.

"Okay now touch every finger with your thumbs." He demonstrated and Robbie copied.

He passed that too.

Robbie's father then touched his foot, "Can you feel that?"

He nodded.

Dr. Shapiro cleared his throat, "Can you tell me your name and the date?"

He coughed, "Robbie Shapiro and really, how would I know the date dad if I've been unconscious for a while?" He smartly responded, and then he grinned.

We all laughed in relief as Dr. Shapiro grinned back at his son, "Well at least you still have your sense of humour."

Max launched himself onto Robbie's bed, he landed on his stomach and Robbie howled in pain, "Watch Max, that's a tender area."

Max ignored him and started to bounce on the bed, "I knew it. See I told them all that you weren't going to leave us!"

Robbie laughed and he took Rex from Max. Meanwhile Beck scooped Max up and set him on the ground again. He giggled and ran over to me; I picked him up and cuddled him.

"Thank you Max" I whispered in his ear and peck his cheek.

He rubbed his cheek in disgust and mentioned the word "cooties".

I looked back over at the scene unfolding before my eyes and saw Jade hugging Robbie. Her voice wobbling slightly, "I thought you were a goner Shapiro. I don't know what I would've done without my best friend."

Robbie recoiled, his eyebrow arched, "Jade West showing her emotions? Someone ought to record this."

Then she scowled, "If you hadn't almost died Shapiro I would so punch you right now."

"This is so remarkable" Dr. Shapiro interjected, "You are blessed Robbie, your cognitive ability is astounding for someone who was in a coma for almost 3 weeks. Your recovery will be much quicker than I initially thought; just some physiotherapy."

Beck and André both tried to remain manly and only shook hands with Robbie, but even they could not hide their excitement at having their friend back.

Robbie peered around the crowded room, looking back at all the smiling faces, seeking out the one he truly wanted.

He frowned, "Where's Cat?"

The group divided and they pushed me forward. I handed Max over to Jane and they all excused themselves. Jade winked at me before closing the door behind her. My cheeks flushed.

Wasting no time I rushed to Robbie's side and sat on the edge of his bed then pressed my lips to his.

I heard his heart monitor quicken and I smiled into the kiss. I missed kissing Robbie; it had been so long that every touch felt like the first time all over again. He tried to prop himself up to deepen the kiss but he winced from the pain of the wound. Grimacing I pulled away from him and looked at the bandaged wound.

"Robbie I'm so sorry that this happened to you." I felt a few tear prick at the corner of my eyes. "It was stupid of me to call you, I should have just rang the police."

"Hey" Robbie replied softly whilst caressing my cheek, effectively wiping away the rogue tears, "Don't be, this was in no way your fault. But Cat what happened, what date is it?"

"Well it's the 3rd of May; you've been unconscious for nearly 3 weeks. It's a miracle that you lived at all you lost so much blood after Brad stabbed you."

Robbie nodded thoughtfully, "and Brad what happened to him?"

"He's being treated at another hospital for his mental state and then he is going to go into the system. It's been a wild few weeks; the press have been flocking around you like crazy." I laughed nervously.

He smirked, "Well we are used to that by now anyway. So nothing has really changed."

We were interrupted by a knock on the door. "Cat" Dr. Shapiro poked his head around the door, "Visiting hours are over, you have to wrap it up now."

I nodded in response and he shut the door once again. Robbie was holding my hand tightly running his thumb along the back of my hand.

"I remember what you said to me." He blurted out, "You know before I fell unconscious."

"Oh" I paused, I had kind of hoped that he would not of remembered that so that the we could have a do-over, it wasn't the most romantic setting to say those three words for the first time.

He grinned and kissed my hand that was still intertwined with his, "You have the mind of 5-year-old, you are goofy and eccentric... and I could not be any more in love with you than I already am."

"I love you too."

I leaned back over and kissed him once more.

:') Okay it is getting to that point again my lovelys where either
A) I am almost finished this story
or

B) I am merely running out of ideas

I might just have Robbie graduate from school and begin his life with Cat and that would be the ending, I don't know... that's why I need your help!

LEAVE ME A REVIEW! telling me what you would like to see happen?!

I really do love your ideas and I will always try to incorporate them!

Anyhoo! Robbie is awake and he has no memory loss (felt that would have been complete overkill)

Now Jade can go back to being a meanie, she was getting too sappy for her own good :P
anyway please REVIEW!

Love xxxx
