/A/N - See it was a quick update, and I had to write after the reviews I got, you guys are awesome. Keep it up. Hope you like this./

Just as the clock turned to 8:31am, I heard a small noise almost like a gasp. Others had heard it too, and as we all turned to face the body that lay upon the bed, we saw the slight movement that brought tears to my eyes. Only this time they were tears of joy, Jeff was breathing. He was awake.

The doctors quickly rushed to Jeff's aid, as Matt, Amy, and I were ushered out of the room. It was more important that they take care of him now. As we waited, sitting in those rigid, red chairs, I couldn't help but smile the entire time. I hadn't even noticed Matt was talking until he shook me gently.

"Jess?" Matt questioned. "Are you even listening to me?"

"No," I replied, still smiling.

"Well that's nothing new," he retorted.

"Oh shush, Matthew." I rolled my eyes at him.

"Must you too always be like this?" Amy input.

"But of course," I answered, smiling. "And we wouldn't have it any other way."

We continued to sit there talking and we were so absorbed in our own little conversation that we hadn't noticed the doctor that had been standing over us for quite some time. He had finally gained our attention by clearing his throat.

I tilted my head up in the doctor's direction and gave a questioning glance.

"Can we see Jeff now?" Matt enquired.

"Uhh…yes." the doctor replied, hesitantly.

"Great," I stated, starting to stand up.

"Umm, miss?" the doctor stopped me. "There is something I need to tell you before you see Mr. Hardy."

I sat back down and gave Amy and Matt a worried look. As we gazed back up towards the doctor, he began.

"Well, I don't know if you know this or not, but your brain is divided into basically three parts known as the cerebrum, the cerebellum, and the brainstem. The cerebrum controls our body's mental and sensory functions, while the cerebellum controls thing like coordination, posture and balance, and the brainstem controls basic body functions like breathing, blood pressure, etc." He paused, looking down at us to comment. When we didn't say anything we continued. "Well usually when one comes out of the comatose state they may or may not have problems with one or all of these parts. It usually depends how long the patient has been like that. And since Mr. Hardy has been comatose for awhile, it is not abnormal that his body is reacting like it is."

I closed my eyes. "So what is wrong?" I asked, almost in a whisper.

The doctor sighed. "Considering the length of time Mr. Hardy was in that state, his body seems to be functioning reasonably well. Other than the mild cuts and bruises, and a little fracture, he seems physically competent. However, during his time unconscious, his cerebrum seems to have shut down and is now having problems resuming its normal state."

"Could you please get to the point, " Matt pleaded with the doctor.

"Umm…yes, sorry." The young doctor looked flustered. "Well, as I said before his psychical components are fine but I'm sorry to tell you this but Mr. Hardy seems to have lost his short-term memory."

My eyes opened wide at this. "So what does that mean?"

"Well, basically, it means that Mr. Hardy does not remember the accident, but he remembers everything before it. But it is worse than that. He will now have a hard time retaining new information. We have a few more tests to run before we will know if this is permanent of not, and just how long Mr. Hardy can retain the information given to him." The doctor brushed a fallen hair out of his eye and cleared his throat again.

The doctor turned to leave, but before he departed he said, "You're free to go see him whenever you choose to. And good luck."

I sank down in my chair, leaned my head back and thought, What next?
