"Take A Chance On Us"

Chapter 6

"A coma," Kim couldn't believe what the doctor just said. This isn't happening, thought Kim to herself. "But he is going to wake up soon right," asked Kim softly. She knew that there was a chance that he may never wake up, but she was going to give up hope.

"I don't really know when he is going to wake up," said the doctor. Kim then started to go back into Jimmy's room." Kim looked at the doctor. "Could I see him for a few minutes?"

"Yeah for a while "Thanks," said Kim as she walked into the exam room.

"Hey Jimmy, when are going to wake up? I need you more than you know. We just started our relationship up again; I don't want to lose you." said Kim as she started to cry.

"Kim," said a voice softly. Kim looked up and saw Alex. "Hey," said Kim as she stood up. "What happened?" asked Alex as she walked up to Kim." Why don't we go outside and talk about it," said Kim as they walked out of the exam room.

Kim and Alex went and sat on the bench outside of the exam room. "I came as quick as I could when I heard that Jimmy was in the hospital." said Alex softly. "So what happened?" Kim was silent for a moment, as she was still trying to come to term of what happened to Jimmy." You don't have to talk about it right now, if you don't want to," said Alex softly.

"No, it is fine. I can talk about it." said Kim." Jimmy was hit by a car last night." "Oh, I'm so sorry," said Alex as she hugged her friend.

"He is a coma, and they don't know when or if he is going to wake up," said Kim as tears rolled down her cheeks.

"How is Joey taking it?" asked Alex, concerned. "I haven't told him yet, I was going to wait until Jimmy is awake, but I don't when that is going to be."

"Do you think that you could stay here while I go talk to Joey. " Sure," said Alex.  Kim started to walk out of the hospital. "Alex," Alex turned around. "I'll phone you when he wakes up,"

"Thanks," said Kim as she walked out of the hospital.

Kim knocked on her mom's door.

"Hi," said her mom as she hugged her daughter. Kim then walked into the apartment, and saw her son playing with his toys. How I am going to tell him that his father is in a coma?" thought Kim to herself as she went up to Joey.

"Mom," said Joey as he went up to Kim." Where is Daddy?" said Joey, confused.

"Why don't you sit down for a moment," said Kim as they sat down on the couch. Kim took a deep breath before she said anything.

"Your father is in the hospital," said Kim softly. Joey looked at his mom." But he is going to come home soon, right?" "Joey, your dad is in a coma,"  Joey looked up at his mother." What?"  Kim's mom went up to Joey.

"What your mom is saying is that your father is having a sleep, but he is going to wake up soon,"

"Why can't you just wake him up now?" cried Joey as he stormed into his room. Kim then started to run after him, but Kim's mom stop him. "He needs some time alone,"

"Mom, he needs me," said Kim softly. "I know he does, but just let me deal with it before you go talk to him,"

"How can he deal with it, if I can't." cried Kim in her mom's arms. "Mom, what is  going to happen if Jimmy never wakes up,"

"Kim, don't think about that right now," said Kim's mom. Kim and her mom went and sat on the couch.  Kim looked at her mom. "Why are you being so nice, I'm surprised you aren't happy that Jimmy is hurt." said Kim angrily.

"Kim, I don't think he is the right person for you, but I would never want anything bad to happen to Jimmy,"

"I know, I'm sorry that I snap at you," said Kim softly. "I'm going to go check on Joey,"

"Okay, "

Kim walked into Joey's room, and saw that he was playing with his toys." Joey, I know that you are upset, but we have to help each other deal with it."

"Is dad going to be okay?" asked Joey in a quiet voice." I don't know," said Kim as she hugged her son. She then looked and saw that Joey had fallen asleep, so she gently put him in his bed, and kissed him goodnight.

"How is he?" asked Kim's mom as Kim walked back into the living room. "He is taking it hard,"

"Mom, do you think that you could look after Joey tonight while I go see Jimmy, I really want to be by his side when he wakes up," said Kim softly.

" Of course, I can."

Kim walked into Jimmy's room, and sat down next to him.

"I think it is about time you wake up," said Kim as she looked at Jimmy. He looked so pale. "I can't do this, I thought I could but I can't," thought Kim as she started to walk away.

"Mmmm, Kim, is that you?" said a voice softly. Kim turned around, and couldn't believe that Jimmy was awake.
