Jess's POV

Darkness, its all I can see where is Rob and my parents. "Somebody help!" I yelled, but I knew that the only thing that could help me escape was time, I sat down and waited for time to pass but here in this nowhere land time passed slowly, barely and all. "Help" I screamed knowing my cry would go unheard but it was worth a try.

Robs POV

"Ruth, give me two seconds to grab my stuff, I will be right back" I said to Ruth who had just finished telling me about what had happened to Jess and was gonna drive me over to the hospital. Jess was mugged and then she was dropped on her head on the cement. By the time Ruth had found her she had lost so much blood that she was lucky to still be breathing.

I told my uncle what had happened and he said I could take the day off to go see Jess; it was really nice to work for family. As I was walking to my locker I kept telling myself:

"She is going to be ok, she is still alive" barely I thought but quickly changed my focus on getting my jacket and wallet out of my locker.

"Got everything" Ruth said in an emotionless tone

"Yeah"

"Let's hit the road then"

"Ok then"

When we got to the hospital Ruth led me to Jess's room and then left and went back to the waiting room. When I turned around I saw something I never thought I would ever see before, there was Jess pale and weak. When she was alive no stupid when she was AWAKE she is still alive and breathing just not awake I quickly pushed those thoughts away again. When she was awake she was never weak she was stubborn and she would break all the rules to do what's right, that's what I loved about her loved her Rob you butthead, it's your fault she's like this and you claim to love her? What is wrong with you? I took one last look at her and left the room. This is probably the last time you're ever going to see her breathing again Rob, stay longer but he couldn't.

He did not want to remember Jess as the soon to be corpse but instead her in her cute little mini skirts and smiling and laughing. He did not go straight back to the waiting room where Ruth is but instead to the hospital chapel where he cried and prayed. Please god just let her live please.

Little did Rob know that for once there was a chance that his prayers would be answered, he just wouldn't know when it happened.
