God in his cute boy form walks through the door of the Chapel.
"Hey Adam, i'm Go."
"Adam cuts him off with I know who you are."
"What do you want?"
"Well, you just said that you wanted to tell me what you thought about me, so go ahead.
"You took my mother away from me, then you have the nerve to show up and tell me that you love me and that I would stop grieving in time."
"Then you bring a wonderful person into my life and let me love her more than anyone else in the world and now she's in a coma and I could lose her."
"I can't lose her," Adam says with raw emotion in his voice.
"How can you turn your back on Jane when she does all those stupid assignments that you give her?"
"I haven't turned my back on Joan,I am with her even now," God responds.
Adam continues his railing.
"You are supposed to be loving and kind, so how could you have let this happen in the first place?"
"I have so many memories involving Jane, there are so many things that we have experienced and so many more that we will never get to."
"Adam, listen to me for a minute."
"Why should I?"
"Because I have a message from Joan," she ask me to tell you that she can't stand to see you in pain.
"How does Jane know that I'm in pain?"
"She may be in a coma, but she heard every word that was said in her hospital room," God says to Adam.
"There's nothing that the doctors can do for her now."
"That's right, Adam they can't."
"There is something that I can do for Jane," Adam says.
"But there's something that I need to do for myself first."
His tone changes as he falls to his knees in front of God.
"Father forgive me, because I have tried things my way and it's gotten me nowhere."
"When I said that I hate you, I didn't mean it."
"I was just mad, hurt and confused when my mom died."
"I have no right to ask your forgiveness, but I am tired of doing things my way and I want to do them your way from now on."
"In your name I pray Amen."
"Arise my son, Adam for you are forgiven."
Adam stands up, then he ask God this question.
"Why did you forgive me?"
"Adam, everyone sins at one time or another."
"They do?" Adam ask.
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ the son."
Romans 6:23.
"That's found in the Bible," Adam says.
"That's right it is," God responds.
"I need to be going now, but remember that I am always with you," God says as he turns and walks away.
"Thanks for forgiving me and giving me a second chance," Adam says to God.
God waves to Adam as he walks out the door.
"It feels good to be right with God again," Adam thinks to himself.
"If Jane comes out of a coma, I'll have to tell her all about this."
Adam hits his knees again in prayer.
"God,please help Jane to come back to me and her family and friends."
"In your name I pray Amen."
For the first time in a long time, he feels an overwhelming sense of peace come over him.
He stands up walks out of the Chapel and back down the hall to the waiting room in Intensive Care.
"It's getting late," Will says as he looks at Kevin and Luke. You guys need to go home and get some rest.
Helen looks at Grace and Adam.
"You guys need to go home and get some rest too."
"I'm not leaving," Adam says as he looks at Helen and Will.
"Rove, where have you been?" Grace ask him.
"I just needed some time to think about things."
"Well, I guess that I better call your father and tell him that you won't be coming home tonight."
"I sure would appreciate that," Adam says as he gives Grace a thankful smile.
"No problem, Rove"
Kevin and Luke stand up.
"Hey geek, are you riding with me or your brother?" Grace ask Luke.
Another memory washes over Adam again.
"From now on, Adam this song will have a very special meaning for me," Joan had said as she was in Adam's arms.
He walks over to Luke.
"Can I talk to you in private?"
"Sure."
Adam and Luke walk out into the hallway.
"Do you know if Jane has a Bryan Adam's CD?"
"I'm sure that she does," Luke says.
"That's good, because I need a favor from you."
"What do you want me do?"
"I need you to bring me that CD and a CD player."
"Why?"
"Because Jane loves that song "Everything I Do."
"Are you going to play that song for Joan?" Luke ask Adam.
"Luke, can you keep a secret?"
"Sure," Luke responds.
"I am going to sing that song to Jane," Adam responds.
"You mean that you think that Joan can hear even though she's in a coma," Luke says with surprise in his voice.
"I know she can," Adam says with confidence in his voice.
"I'll bring you the stuff.
"Thanks."
Adam and Luke walk back into the waiting room.
"Come on let's go," Luke says as he looks at Grace.
"Luke, Grace and Kevin all walk out of the hospital together.

Helen and Will sleep on one couch in the waiting room and Adam falls asleep on another couch.
