"Where am I?" I asked to no one in particular.
I looked around my surroundings and they were very unfamiliar. Soon I came to realization that I was in the hospital. My legs in a cast, my face feels swollen, and my wrist is in a soft cast.

"What the hell happened to me?" I said aloud.

.knock knock.

"Well, it's good to see you're up." said a man who seemed to look like a doctor.

"What happened to me and where's my brother at. All I remember is someone pulling me out of the car," I started to cry.

"Ms. Vasquez, your brother and you were in a horrible car accident. You guys were hit by a drunk driver. Your lucky. You got only minor injuries, a twisted wrist, a broken leg, and some cuts and bruises," the doctor explained.

"Where's Jason?" I interrupted.

The doctor took a deep breath then said, "Jason is in the Intensive Care Unit. The majority of the impact was on his side of the car. He's been unconscious for quite sometime now. We're doing everything we can."

I felt strands of tears just rolling down my face. I sighed and went on, "What do you mean?"

"I'm sorry to give you such news like this Ms. Vasquez," the doctor sighed.

"Do my parents know?" I muffled.

"Yes, they have been contacted. Is there anybody you need me to contact for you?" he asked.

"If you don't mind. I need you to call Jeff Hardy. He's staying at the Sheraton, room 648." I said.

"Would you like to go see your brother while I call Jeff?" he replied.

"That would be nice. Thank you so much Dr.?" I stopped, realizing I don't know his name.

"Dr. Adams. I'll send in Nurse Brown to come and take you to your brother," he answered.

"Oh and please call me Marie," I said as he left the room.
As I was left there in the room all by myself I couldn't help but think about what had happened. Since I couldn't remember a thing that happened I propped myself up in bed and combed my hair with my fingers. I looked around me frantically for a pen or a hair tie. I couldn't find one. Maybe the nurse would. I couldn't believe this happened to me. Just as everything seemed to be going great, things had taken a turn for the worse. Was this a sign of worse things to come? If it was I didn't like it one bit. Is it telling me I shouldn't be with Jeff? Just as I was about to burst out into tears the nurse came in.

"Hi Marie. I'm Nurse Brown," said the petite blond rolling in the wheel chair for me to sit in.

"Hi, you wouldn't happen to have a pen or a hair tie would you?" I asked.

"You know, I just might have a pen," she replied looking through her pockets for a pen, "A ha! Here ya go."

"Thanks a lot. Now, how do we accomplish me getting from this bed into that chair?" I giggled.

"Just get out like you usually would and hop into the chair. Simple as that." Nurse Brown smirked.

"Can I call you by your first name? Saying Nurse Brown sounds so funny," I sighed as I go out of the bed.

"Yeah, call me Sarah," she said as she helped me sit into the chair.

After I got situated into the chair I used the pen to put my hair up. She rolled me down the hall and into an elevator. She pushed the button to level 4. We talked small talk and she asked me what I did for a living. I told her I was a Professional Wrestler for the WWF and she was shocked. She didn't see me as the wrestler type. Soon enough we got up to level 4. She pushed me into the room my brother was in. She told me she'd be back in 15 minutes to come get me.

"God Jason. I cant believe this had to happen to us. One minute your laughing and smiling and the next we're flipped over in a car. I'm here with you buddy. I love you so much. You're my best friend, my brother. The only one I have. You cant leave me. I need you to help support me when no one else will." I burst out into a fit of tears.

Why him, why my brother? Why not me? Suddenly, I felt my brothers grip on my hand tighten.

"Jason? Are you awake?" I sobbed.

"Re, don't worry. I'll be fine. I'm just in a little pain. Marie, I love you too. I'm really glad that you and Jeff finally got together. He's a great guy and he'll take good care of you. I have no doubt in that," Jason said trying to hide the pain in his face.

"Well, look whose up?" Sarah said as she walked in.

"Yeah. But I think I'm going to take another nap. I'm hurting real bad," Jason tried to laugh.

"Well, that's okay. We got to take you back upstairs Marie," Sarah explained.

"Okay. I love you Jason. See you later," I said.

"I love you too," he mumbled.

"Hey Sarah, when can I leave here?" I asked.

"When the doctor gives the clearance. He's most likely going to keep you here a few hours. Then he's going to give you a doctors note for work." She replied.

"Okay. Thanks. So, now where are you taking me?" I quizzed her.

"To go get you some crutches, I'm pretty sure you don't want to sit on your butt all day in a wheel chair," Sarah laughed.

"That's for damn sure. Has Dr. Adams contacted Jeff yet?" I laughed.

"Yes, he did, I believe the doctor said Jeff was on his way over." Sarah sighed.

"How do you think my brother is going to hold up? He doesn't look so good. I just don't understand why he got the most of the damage and I didn't." I mumbled.

"Your brother will do good. God works in mysterious ways, there's no telling why he did what he did," Sarah explained.

I knew Sarah was right, but why my brother of all people? Why even us? Sarah took me to a smaller doctors office where he gave me some crutches. Being I've had to use them before I had no problem using them. The difficult task was the fact that I had a soft cast on my wrist, so applying pressure made it hard for me to walk around. Apparently they had recovered my bag from the accident brought it in, it was pretty torn up. I went through it searching for my pajama shorts. The doctor told me that he would release me when Jeff came. I certainly did not want Jeff seeing me in that hospital gown. So I slipped on my shorts and a clean shirt and washed my face. While waiting for Jeff I decided I would go up to the ICU room where my brother was at. Sarah knew where I would be and said that she would tell Jeff where I was so he can come get me. Jason was sleeping when I went in his room and sat next to the side of his bed. I grabbed his hand in mine and silently wished it was me in that bed instead of him. I told him I was there and that I always will be. I started to cry seeing Jay being hooked up to all those wires and having to have the assistance of an oxygen mask help him breathe. It's not everyday I cry, but this is my own flesh and blood I'm looking at. My thoughts were interrupted by a soft knocking at the door.

"Pumpkin, is he alright?" a soft voice asked.

"No mama, he's not. I feel horrible. But we have to be grateful that he's alive. Right mama?" I cried.

"Yes, pumpkin. My god, what happened to you?" my mother cried as she seen my leg and wrist and some of the cuts.

"I guess you could say I got off easy. Just a broken leg, sprained wrist, and some cuts and bruises. How was your flight?" I asked.

"It was good. On the cab ride over here on the radio they were talking about the accident. It sounded horrible. When the doctor called I couldn't believe it, I just was in complete shocked. I had only talked to the both of you just before it happened, you both were healthy and happy. I was devastated," she whimpered.

"I know mama. I know. Would you be upset if I took time off of work to stay here with Jay?" I asked.

"No, but you shouldn't stay here. You need to be out on the road." my mom said.

"But you know how much I love him. Besides I'll be useless at work. It'll just make me want to do something, but I wont be able to do anything because the doctor doesn't want me to and Vince wont let me." I sighed.

"You need the motivation to get healed faster. Maybe he can have you doing a few talking sequences or something honey. I'm sure Vince will find something for you to do," she said trying to find hope.

.knock knock.

"Come in," I sighed.

"Hey, Mrs. Vasquez, hi Marie. How are you guys holding up?" Jeff asked as he entered the room.

"We could be better. Did the doctor give you the note?" I asked.

"Yeah. I'm ready to go whenever you are." Jeff said.
We stood in the room a little while longer praying that Jay will wake up before I left. After about ten minutes, we all got up and left the room and went to the waiting room. Dr. Adams came out and told us that he was in a coma and that he probably wouldn't come to anytime soon and that it best my mom got checked into a room. Jeff and I decided we'd take her back to the hotel we were staying at for her to have a room. Since it was close to the hospital. I had Jeff go up to my room and pack my things as I helped my mom get checked in her room and get her situated. Vince McMahon gave Jeff and I two weeks off. We decided we would head back to Cameron so we could rest. I had been thinking about moving to Cameron, but I wasn't sure. I've lived in big cities all my life, but I think it's time for a change. Besides, I will be closer to my brother. I hope he'll be okay.

"Are you going to be okay mom?" I asked.

"Yeah honey. I'll be fine. Don't worry. I just want you to go back to Jeff's and rest. You need it. You look tired anyways. If anything happens I'll be sure to call you on your cell phone," she explained.

"Here's Jeff's house number just in case you cant get my cell. I really want to stay here with Jason and be here for him. I cant leave him." I started to cry.

"Listen, you need to relax. Being out there in Cameron with Jeff will do you some good. Besides I think he likes you and I know for a fact that my baby girl likes him too," mom laughed.

"Oh, there's so much you don't know. Mom, Jeff and I are dating. Since yesterday, or Monday night," I giggled.

"Oh, you didn't tell me that when we were talking on the phone. He's good for you honey. He cares and I have a feeling he just wont up and leave you for some random girl," mom said as she referred to Karl.

"I know. That's why I think Jeff is different from him. He's always been there for me. God, he's here for me now. He knows how close Jason and I are." I explained.

"And so do I honey. I'm not so crazy about his hair, but it's growing on me. I've known him for two years now. Every time we talk and your not alone, he's always telling me what a good job I've done raising you. Now don't you worry about your brother, I will call if something happens that you need to know about okay?" mom said.

"God I love you! You have no idea how much." I whimpered as I hugged my mom.

.ring ring.

"Yello?" I answered.
"Hey babe. You ready? I'll be down in the lobby waiting for you," Jeff responded.

"Okay, I'll be down in a few." I replied as I hung up the phone. "Okay mom. I'm outie. I'll talk to you soon. I love you."

"I love you too honey." mom cried.

As I walked down the hall to the elevator I was having a hard time due to my wrist, but I decided I did not want to be a baby about it. I got into the elevator and clicked the lobby floor button. The ride down to lobby seemed to drag on and on. It was really a short ride but it seemed like the longest moment of my life. As I stepped out of the elevator Jeff stood there with a dozen white lilies in his hand. He knew how much I loved them. I smiled widely as I made my way towards Jeff. I whispered 'thank you' in his ear as I hugged him and he said, 'I thought you might like some cheering up. Besides, I love you.'
