"Oh Lord, If you are anywhere up there, please don't take her away from me!!! You have already so much angels. Leave me this angel for me. Please!!!"
Storm wasn't sure if she was alive or death, she had heard "angels" That she know. Slowly the words dropped in her head and she began to understand and remember what had happened. The rain, the river, the fall…
Why was she laying here with Spot? And why did he pray? Angel? Did he meant her? She wasn't fully awake by now. She felt Spot's hands on her back stroking her scars and became a goose pimples. She had to get up and away from him!
But she couldn't she didn't even really want to. She just wanted he would really love her. She had believed him. HAD. Didn't she believe him anymore? She wasn't sure about it.

The doc came the next afternoon about four o'clock.
"So, What is it doc. Will she make it?"
"I don't understand this!" The doc murmured. Spot looked worried at the man. Now, the other Brooklyn newsies came in the lodging house and waited in front of Spot's room looking through the open door and waited for the diagnose.
"What?!"
"It's just, well, she could be awaken by now. Or better said she should!"
"What d'you mean with this?"
"Physically she is absolutely okay."
"So why isn't she awake then?!"
"I think it's more that she don't want to…"
"She don't want to?!" The doc nodded and tried to explain to the newsies.
"You know people which commit suicide. They see no reasons to stay alive. I think it's the same for the girl. She don't see any reason to wake up. I don't know what happened before she fell in the river, and I won't ask, but it has to be something that wasn't good."
"What can we do?"
"Show her somehow, that she is needed here. That there are reasons for her to come back. I can't think of any other ways." The doc shrugged.
"If she isn't awaken in a week call me then. If she wakes up earlier, call me as soon she's awake." With this he left the newsies alone.
