Chapter 17
* ~ The Gates of Heaven: God's Secretary ~ *
"NEXT!" I heard a loud female voice call.
"That's you Nick." I stood up and walked towards a small desk sitting by the entrance of the gates.
"Please state your name, age and status for the record." What is this court? Nick thought.
"Nicholas Stokes, 32, and umm I think I'm in a coma again. Let's just put it this way I'm not with the people I love.
"Yes sir uh huh, don't worry." The secretary was short and had dark rimmed glasses they were pointed on the ends. Her hair was tied back in a tight bun. Her clothes looked the same, as everyone else's, a white glowing robe. "Yes OK Mr. Stokes you have three choices. Die and be reborn and never see any of you loved one's of this life again, you could just die and live in heaven or you can go back to uh what's her name Sara Sidle?" Why is she giving me these choices, I think to myself. She knows I'm gonna choose to go back to Sara.
Time goes slowly now in my life
Fear no more of what I'm not sure
searching to fill your soul
"Yes, um I choose go back to Sara."
"Yes, OK now this might sound a little cheesy, but we have kind of a 3 strike your out rule." The lady said.
"What do you mean?" She was confusing me.
The strength to stand alone
the power of not knowing and letting go
"What I mean is this is your second time here, if you happen to 'drop' by again, you won't be going back."
"OH!" Well since she put it that way!
"OK Nick, close your eyes and think of Sara" The voice said. I nodded and closed my eyes…
+l+l+l+l+l+
Sara was sleeping next to Nick, as close as she could be with him on his bed with out killing him there. Nick's eyes fluttered open. He looked around and only saw white walls and a bright light above him. "Dammit! I'm not with Sara why does this keep happening to me?" Nick groaned. Why am I being smushed?
"Nick oh my god your awake!" Sara sat up a little bit and looked into his eyes, he was crying. "Oh Nick why are you crying?" He just pulled her back down onto him and hugged her.
I guess I've found my way
it's simple when it's right
"Sara I love you so much."
"I love you to Nick."
"I tried to tell you before, but you couldn't hear me."
"What are you talking about Nick?"
"Well I was in this room it was really bright and I asked if I could see you, because they said that I was dying and I saw myself flatlining. And you were there and you said that you loved me, and I tried to tell you that I would never leave you and that I loved you, but you couldn't hear me. I love you so much Sar, and I'll never stop saying it, because I want you to hear it every day for the rest of our lives."
"I love you to Nick." OK he's crazy, but I love him Sara thought to herself.
Feeling lucky just to be here tonight
and happy just to be me and be alive

A/N: OK I know it was probably really cheesy, but hey he's alive right?
