Chapter 6: Keep Holding On
Suddenly, Cornelia's heart lurched, just as the train did, rounding a corner. Tears began to well up in her eyes and stream down her face, even though she didn't know exactly what was wrong. She ran back to her seat in Coach where her parents, oblivious to the tragedy, just smiled at her and said happily,"Cornelia, honey, you'll soon see your grandparents!"
Something happened to Caleb, thought Cornelia, not even paying attention to what her parents had said. Something really bad.
She took the glimmering white Ipod out of her pocket and cradled it; it was one of the few things other than memories she had left of Caleb. Cornelia placed the earbuds carefully in her ears and began to listen. There was song that they did not listen to together. Its tones soothed her but also made her sadder.
"Keep Holding On"
You're not alone, together we stand,
I'll be by your side, you know I'll take your hand,
when it gets cold and it feels like the end,
there's no place to go, you know I won't give in.
No I won't give in.
But it just reminded Cornelia of how she was alone. And how Caleb was alone.
Keep holding on
'cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through.
Everywhere is white. White. White. White...
"Will he make it?" asks a tall man in a suit. A tearful woman stands by his side. They seem familiar...
A woman in a white lab coat hovers over the bedside. "We think that he will probably have amnesia if he wakes up from the coma. But right now he is not showing signs of improvement. The life support is the only thing that is keeping him going."
Not, thought the boy, the only thing. And he remembered, not the girl he was in love with, but the feeling she gave him. That was what was keeping him going. (Coma patients are said to be able to hear conversations over their bedsides.)
Just stay strong
'cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
But, thought Cornelia, I'm not there for him.
There's nothing you can say, nothing you can do,
there's no other way when it comes to the truth
so keep holding on
He was holding on. Just barely. His parents, the man and woman standing by his side, could not bear to take him off life support. How could they choose to let go of their one and only son? Their one and only Caleb.
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through.
They could only hope that he would come out of his coma; that he could make it through.
So far away, I wish you were here
before it's too late this could all disappear.
Caleb had to live. He had to. For the sake of his parents, Cornelia, and, in the future, Meridian.
