Summary: Trish survives a horrible car crash only to end up in a coma. But while she is in the coma she experiences the greatest love story with the most unlikely man.

Distribution: This is for an Original Character story I am writing offline but thought it would also work for fan fiction. If you want to post it anywhere please ask permission. I am an equal opportunity writer.

A/N: I want to thank you all for the reviews the farther I go into this story. As I once told you, this story stemmed from my own love story, one that you will all at some time achieve, even if it doesn't seem like it now. It makes me feel a million things at once when I read those reviews and words will never tell you how much I treasure the few words you write me.

"Okay I got here as fast as I could, now would you mind telling me what the hell is going on?" Paul asked as he hurried himself through the hospital corridor and happened upon his best friend. When he had received the call while at home with his pregnant wife Stephanie, he had to admit he had been shocked. It had been a long time since Shawn had chosen him to confide in. It felt nice to be needed.

"I don't know what to do here anymore Paul."

Paul, thinking he meant he couldn't handle being in this hospital anymore, assumed that he had wasted his time making his way over there.

"Then call Shane and tell him that you can't spend your time off here anymore. I know you care about her man, but you needn't be the one that sits with her, she has family to do that."

Shawn gave him the most impatient stare, and felt like stamping his feet into the ground. Something his little boy had done when he wanted more toys for Christmas then he was planning on getting. It had a nice feeling he had to admit.

"That's not what I mean man. I called you because before I left the company five years ago to go off with Rebecca, you told me that no matter what we would be friends. Although I chose to leave that behind for my wife and marriage, I need it now."

"Then I'm here, and I'm listening."

"Something is going on here, and it's so hard to explain."

"Then take your time. If you haven't guessed I am here for the long haul."

Shawn thought about where to start. It had been a rollercoaster ride in a matter of a week and he had too many feelings to deal with alone.

"You know she hasn't woken up right? Well she said something which even threw the doctor off. She called out my name. She is in a coma and she called out my name. I thought that was weird but then again she worked with me closely and it kind of makes sense that way. Then I went to visit her last night and I asked her why she chose me, why she said my name and she said something that touched me but spooked me out too."

Paul was interested now. He had no idea that there had been anything between his best friend and that of the Women's Champion.

"What did she say man?"

"She said she chose me because I believe."

"What the hell does that mean?"

"I don't know Paul but all I can tell you is that something is happening to me and I can't control it. I have these dreams at night about her, and I'm with her. Sometimes when I least expect it, it's like I am here but at the same time not really with the living."

Paul looked at his buddy in utter shock. He had never heard something so completely insane in his life and the only explanation for it was that he had been spending too much time at the hospital and he needed to get to a hotel and take care of himself. Something was wrong indeed, but it wasn't happening around him, it was happening to him. Shawn Michaels had completely lost his mind.

"You don't believe a word I am saying do you?"

"I can't say I do Shawn. I think you are just taking this too hard and you need to get yourself some decent rest. Then if you keep having these issues I think you need to talk to someone."

Feeling the need to defend himself, Shawn tensed his entire body and looked his friend dead in the eye. If Paul didn't believe what he was saying he was going to have to find some way to prove it or at least admit something more then what he had?

"There's more Paul."

"There is more what Shawn?"

"I think I am falling in love with her and I can't do anything to stop it. Its like I can't put the brakes on."

'Well then man, I think you are a lot worse off then you were before. You are going about this all wrong."

"How so?"

"If you love the girl so much, shouldn't you be in there with her telling her that? Giving her something to fight for and come back too? Because as it stands right now, telling me isn't going to make her come out of this and the two of you be together. Telling her is."

Knowing his friend was right, he hugged him tightly, said goodbye and headed back to the room. Paul was right, telling him wasn't going to make anything any better then it already was. It was time he got right down to it and told her himself before it became too late.

A/N2: Will Shawn go through with it and tell her, and if he does, will she hear it on the other side? Answers to this and other question will be answered in the next chapter.
