Well this may be a shock to everyone but here is...(drum roll please) ... Chapter 18! I just started writing and couldn't stop. Hope you enjoy!

As I walked in Rob's bed was facing me, I had to stop myself from crying straight away. He was covered in tubes and wires. I had never seen him look so vulnerable.

I cautiously approached his bed with Mary close by my side. As I got to the bed I just broke down.

"Rob, oh god I'm so sorry."

I couldn't stop crying. Mary held my hand and stroked my hair until my breathing returned.

"There, there love. It's ok. He's always been stubborn he just needs his rest."

I couldn't bear to look at her all I could think was how this whole thing was my fault. Because of me her only son was in hospital.

"Mrs. Wilkins, the latest tests show no damage to Rob's brain. It appears his body is just in shock and that's what caused his coma. We'll keep him comfortable until his body responds."

"Thank you Dr. Maynard."

"No problem. I'll be in later to run some more tests."

He placed his hand on my shoulder and gave it a squeeze.

"Sometimes life likes to give us a little shock just to see what we are willing to do for our happiness. Try not to worry."

That's alright for him to say but his boyfriend isn't lying in a coma because of him.

"Jess, honey I'm going to get a drink you feel free to stay here as long as you need."

I just nodded. When she left I sat on the bed next to him and looked at his closed eyes just wishing they would open, I would give everything to see those smoky grey eyes look at me. Hell I would be happy if he opened them and shouted at me. All I got was a twitch of his eyelids. Placing a light kiss on his cheek I left the room all the time promising to be back and promising to wait until he's back.

"Hi Jess! Just changing the bedding. I've put him next door."

"Thanks Louise. I can't stay long, got an appointment with Dr. K this afternoon."

As usual Louise smiled at me and carried on humming, probably a song from a musical as was her custom. I knocked on the door, it was habit even though there was no-one to tell me to come in. I guess I hoped one day that he would tell me to come in.

"Hey darling. I brought you a new magazine. And I've been to see Gary, the bikes nearly ready I just need to do a bit more fiddling then it'll be ready for me to pick you up on."

As usual I got no reply. I was getting used to it. It may have only been a week but its surprising how quickly you can adjust to your boyfriend being in a coma. In the week since the accident I have been working with Dr. K to trying to find the guy who did this. The problem is no matter how many times I look at his photo and how often I sleep I still can't find him. The doctors seem to think it could be because of Rob. They tell me I need to spend as much time as possible with him.

"Morning Jessica."

"Hi doctor. What's the news?"

"The latest tests show no change. Physically he's fine. But perhaps mentally his brain can't process what happened and so it's retracted in on its self."

"Well thank you Dr."

"Hear that Rob even the doctors think your just been stubborn. I think it's time you got up. I'm fed up of sitting on this bed."

No reply time to tease him. I leaned down and whispered in his ear.

"If you wake up today, I've got the house to myself tonight and …"

"Well Jess! Maybe I should leave you a bit longer."

"It's worth a try isn't though."

"Certainly is. You know all guys think primarily with there little brains."

"I better go now, got that meeting. Bye love."

As I normally did I kissed him lightly on the lips. When I reached the door I turned to look at him as Louise began to move him back to his bed. Nothing had changed he was still lying with his eyes closed. I started out the door.

"No."

Startled I turned round.

"What Louise? Is everything…"

I didn't get to finish when I turned round Robs eyes where open and he was looking at me.

"Jessie, has he hurt you?"

The pure panic on his face made me rush over.

"Rob I'm here. It's ok."

"I'm going to get the doctor."

I didn't even acknowledge her leaving I was just so focused on his eyes. I couldn't believe they were finally looking at me.

"Jess he tried to hurt you are you alright?"

I was crying. To hear all the concern in his voice.

"I'm … God Rob. I'm fine, better then fine."

"Well well, nice to see you're finally awake. You had is all a little worried."

"Ermm right. Does someone want to explain what's going on?"

"I'll be right back I just need to call Dr. Krantz."

"Well Rob I guess that leaves me to explain I'm not sure what you remember so I'll start from the beginning. I'm sure Jess will fill you in on the rest later."

"Morning Jess. Any luck?"

"Not yet. Dr. K can't understand why I don't know yet they all thought it was because of you."

"Well since you've got nothing else to do. I'm coming to pick you up in an hour."

"Ok see you then."

Rob can't remember anything after pushing me to the ground. I haven't told him what I said the day he woke up. He'll find out tonight. He may be taking me out now but I've already told him he's coming over tonight, mom and dad are going out Douglas is out with Tasha and Mikes out with Claire.

"Hello. What are you doing here?"

"Get on."

"So polite."

He smiled kissed me on the lips.

"Please place yourself on the bike darling."

"Anything for you." He smiled again and we were off, I didn't know where but what did I care. My arms wrapped around my sexy boyfriend. My mind thinking about tonight. My eyes closed in a dream-like state.
