Thanks for last chapter's replies. I'm sorry I took so long but I went on a trip for Spring Break and I have just been really busy lately.

Chapter 3
Surviving

Catie watched with horrified eyes as Jamie's body convulsed. She attempted to block out the sound that his heart monitor made but she couldn't. She watched terrified as Tyler and Val prepared the crash cart to revive Jamie.

"Ready, Val?"

"Yeah, Tyler, let's do this."

Tyler rubbed the pads of the crash cart together as Val breathed into Jamie's mouth. Tyler leaned over shocked Jamie. His body tremored but the heart monitor continued to flatline. Tyler repeated the action, again, with no results. He tried over and over. After the fifth time Val glanced at her watch and prepared to announce the time of death. Catie couldn't handle it.

"NO, Val, you have to try one more time, please."

Val looked into Catie pleading eyes and she decided to try one more time to revive Jamie.

"Tyler, let's give it another try."

Tyler quickly readied the crash cart. He wanted this to work just as much as Catie did. Jamie was a good friend of his. He had never actually acknowledged that but he promised that if Jamie lived he would tell him.

Tyler placed the pads on Jamie's chest, everyone said a little prayer, and Jamie was shocked once more. Tyler, Hank, Val, and Catie held their breath and the ambulance was filled with complete silence.

'Beep, Beep, Beep'

Everyone let out a cheer as the heart monitor began to beep and Jamie's chest began to rise and fall with deep breaths.

Catie bowed her head and thanked God that Jamie had come back to her. Just as she finished her prayer the ambulance pulled into the ER parking lot. Hank saw the relieved look in Catie's eyes and hoped that it would stay there.


So, what ya' think? Please read and reply.
