Wes and Jen were at the bus stop; both of them had no idea where it was headed. That didn't bother them all that mattered was, they were together. When the bus pulled up, the line of people began to gather on the bus. Wes and Jen were the last two to get on the bus; all that was left to sit on were two seats in the back next to each other.
Wes took the window seat, and Jen took the end seat. Both of them were tired from the day before. They had helped someone who was moving into there new home. And then with them always having to watch their back and moving all the time, wore them out a lot.
"Well this should be fun, were on a bus with no idea where it's heading," said Jen smiling at Wes.
Wes laughed a little. "Just think of it as an adventure," said Wes smiling back at her.
"Does this adventure include sleep," asked Jen, tiredly.
Wes could see that Jen was really tired, he couldn't blame her. They worked for several hours non stop; he was just as tired as she was if not more. He smiled as he put his arm around her, bring her close to him. "Of course," he said kindly.
Jen laid her on his shoulder, and slowly closed her eyes. For a moment Wes just looked at her sleep, he smiled seeing how beautiful she was and how lucky he was to have her in his life. Then he two closed his eyes, letting sleep come over them.
Eric was in the hospital waiting room, when the doctor walked over to him. Eric stood up right away, praying to himself that everything was alright. "How is he?" asked Eric.
The doctor bit his lips. "Mr. Collins had a massive heart attack," Eric gulped that was what he was afraid of. "We did get his heart beating again, but he's in a coma," said the doctor sadly.
Eric put his head down; he couldn't believe this was happing. Slowly he raised his head up looking back at the doctor. "Will he wake up?" he asked softly.
"I don't know, it is likely he may never wake up," The doctor took a deep breath, he looked at Eric sadly. "You may want to contact his family," said the doctor. For a moment the doctor stood there, and then he walked away leaving Eric alone.
Eric sunk down in his chair; he didn't know what to do. The only family Collins had left was Wes, and he was no where to be found. He just sat their motionless, fearing for the worse that Mr. Collins could very well die.
The bus was driving through the night, Wes opened his eyes. He saw that Jen was still asleep, he smiles. In the seats next to them Wes sees a father reading a book to his young son. Wes couldn't help but, watch them the two looked so happy. Wes slowly turned his head away resting it back on his seat. "Dad," he said softly. It had been weeks sense he last seen hi father. He missed him with all of his heart, he wondered how he was doing, and where was he tonight. Did he ever think about him too?
"What you thinking about?" asked Jen, she had woken up seeing Wes in deep thought.
Wes turned his head looking at her. "Nothing really," he lied.
Jen saw right through that lie, she looked right into his eyes. "Wes its okay to miss him, I just wish you talk about it," said Jen kindly.
Wes put his head down. "I don't know, I guess I thought we had enough problems as it is," said Wes.
Jen could see all the sadness in his eyes; she could help but feel guiltily that it was her fault. "I'm sorry," said Jen.
Wes turned around quickly looking at her, shaking his head. "No, don't be it's not your fault," said Wes kindly.
"Yeah, but if you didn't give up everything to be with me, you still be able to be with you dad," said Jen sadly.
Wes put his arm around her. "Hey I'd do anything, if it meant I could be with you. You're the most important person in my life," said Wes kindly.
Jen smiled, she to would do the same for him. "Thanks, but just promise me that you'll talk to me when you're feeling down," said Jen.
"I promise," said Wes as he leaned closer to her kissing her softly on the lips. Then he softly pulled her head back down on his shoulder, within minutes the two were back asleep as the bus drove through the night.
