Chapter 6
Waking
Catie sat in the uncomfortable chair that rested next to Jamie's hospital bed. She let out a sigh as she looked into his pale face. Everyday after school for the past three weeks she had walked into the cold, sterile room and talked to Jamie until her mother called her to come home. Everyday she took his hand and begged him to wake up. Everyday his beautiful brown eyes stayed shut and his lips remained motionless. She didn't know how much longer she could stand it. The doctor still didn't know when he would wake up. He said Jamie was getting better and he had taken him off the respirator but Jamie still lie there silently. He had had three more seizures since he was taken to the hospital. The last one had been really bad. Doctor Wineman had almost lost him. Jamie's arms were still in restraints and Catie wanted so badly to rip them off. She didn't want him to wake up and freak because he was bound to the bed. She just wanted him to wake up.
Catie's head snapped up at the sound of the door opening. It was Tyler. All the EMTs had been by to see Jamie. Tyler and Val visited quite frequently. Hank was seen less often. Catie had found out that he hated hospitals and freaked out whenever he was in one. He had put aside his feelings to come see Jamie a few times, though.
Tyler walked over to Catie and put his hand on her shoulder. The two of them had somehow become friends out of this unfortunate incident.
"How is he?" Tyler asked.
"No change."
"When was the last time you ate something?"
"I had a candy bar for breakfast this morning."
"You should go down to the cafeteria and get something."
"I can't I don't want to leave him. I don't eat breakfast because I have to do my homework in the morning since I spent all night here, I don't eat lunch because I'm busy calling the hospital to see if he has woken up, and I don't eat dinner because I'm afraid that he'll wake up while I'm gone."
"You know Jamie wouldn't want you to kill yourself over him."
"I know but I just don't feel right leaving him all alone."
"Catie, listen to me, you have to take care of yourself." Tyler's tone became stern.
"Don't you get it Tyler, I don't care about myself! All I care about is Jamie! If he dies I don't know what I'll do without him! I can't leave him! I just can't..." Catie's voice slowly died down to a whisper.
Tyler wrapped his arms around her in an attempt to comfort her. She cried for the millionth time in three weeks. She immediately took her head off Tyler's shoulders when she heard a groan. She looked up at Tyler to see why he had groaned but he was staring at the figure on the bed. Catie's mouth dropped open in shock as Jamie's eyelids began to flutter.
So, Good? Bad? What ya' think? Please review.
