Chapter 22: Hurt By Words
Melinda laid there next to Jim holding his hand. It has been a few hours now since he came out of surgery, the doctors confirmed Jim to be in a coma and that the next 24 hours were critical because of his injuries. "You need to wake up, Jim. Please" Melinda said. Melinda kissed him and looked at Jim. His face was pretty bruised up. He had a few scratches on his arm. Melinda snuggled up close to him and rested her head on his chest.
A few days passed...
"No Jim NO" Melinda jumped up out of the bed. She immediately looked at Jim and then glanced at the machines Jim was connected up to. Everything looked elevated. Melinda exhaled in relief "It was just a dream" she said. Her dream was horrid for her. She dreamt that Jim died right after surgery. A nurse walked in the room and put something in Jim's IV. "What's that for" Melinda asked. "The pain. We want him to be as comfortable as possible" the nurse said. Melinda nodded "Ok. Do you...do you know if he'll wake up" Melinda asked. "I don't know. His surgery was successful. There's no internal bleeding. He does have a head injury but right now everything is going to be fine. It's up to him to wake up now" the nurse said. "Ok" Melinda said. The nurse left the room. "Come on Jim please wake up" Melinda snuggled close to him. Melinda stared at him. "I don't kn..." Melinda started to say but was interrupted when the door opened. Melinda quickly sat up to look to see who was coming in. Faith and Dan walked in "Hey Melinda" Faith said. "Hey Faith. Dan" Melinda said as she got off Jim's bed. Dan didn't say anything. "So any news from the doctor? Any improvement" Faith asked. "No new improvement" Melinda said. "I'm gonna go ask the doctor and find out" Dan said. "I already asked the..." Melinda started to tell Dan about what the nurse told her but Dan walked out of the room ignoring her. "Well i'll let you and Dan spend some time with Jim" Melinda picked up her coat and purse. "Ok thanks" Faith said. Melinda looked back at Jim and kissed him on the cheek "I love you" she mumbled. Melinda walked out of the room and walked into the waiting room. Melinda sat down in the chair and picked up People Magazine to read it. Dan walked past the waiting room going back to Jim's room "Dan" Melinda got up and went after him down the hall. Dan turned around to Melinda. "Are you upset with me or something" Melinda asked. Dan sighed "Why are you even here? Your the reason why he was in an accident and why he's in a coma" Dan sighed. "What" Melinda asked in a shocked voice. "You hurt him by not believing him or sticking by him and even changing your contact information. You hurt him. You shouldn't even be here. Your the last person he will want to see when he wakes up. So just do us a favor and go back to your husband and leave us alone" Dan said and turned around and walked away. Tears welled up in Melinda's eyes. Melinda walked back to the waiting room and grabbed her purse and coat and left the hospital.
Melinda walked in Jim's room a little after midnight. Faith and Dan were both gone by then. Jim was still in a coma. Melinda sat down in the chair beside his bed and put her hand in Jim's hand. "I know your mom and brother don't want me here and you probably don't want me here but I have no where else to go" Melinda sighed "I'm scared to go back home. I'm afraid what Steve might do. I haven't talked to him since a few days ago when I told him about us" Melinda said. Deep down she really was scared to go home. She didn't know what to say to Steve and she was scared what he might do. Melinda got on the bed with Jim and snuggled against him "I know what I did was unforgivable and frankly I don't expect you to take me back but I want you to know I am really sorry for what I did. If I could go back and redo everything I would" Melinda kissed Jim "I love you" she rested her head on his chest. She laid there for a little while "I better go" Melinda got up and put her coat on. "I have to go home and face him I guess" Melinda sighed. Melinda leaned down and kissed Jim "I love you" Melinda gently kissed him on the lips. She walked over to Jim's stuff that was in a box and reached in her purse and pulled out a note and stuck it in his blue jeans pockets. "I'll see you soon" Melinda looked back at Jim before walking out the door. Jim's hand started flinching and his eyes started flicking. Jim's eyes opened a minute later.
Melinda laid in her bed in the hotel room flipping through a magazine. She avoided going home for the day and got a room at the hotel. Melinda cell phone started ringing. She reached over and answered the phone. "Hello" Melinda said. "Hey, Melinda this is Nurse Quinlan calling from Rockland. I just wanted to tell you Jim woke up around 1:30am yesterday" the nurse said. Melinda exhaled. She was happy Jim was awake. "Why are you calling me. I don't think Faith or Dan will want me there" Melinda said. "Well they are gone and I thought you should know" the nurse said over the phone. "Thanks. I appreciate it" Melinda said. "No problem" the nurse said. "Bye" Melinda said and hung up. Melinda laid in the bed wondering what she should do. She didn't know if she should go to the hospital or not. "He won't want to see him. I'm the last person he wants to see" Melinda sighed. She got up and picked up her things and left the hotel room. Within 15 minutes, Melinda was at the hospital and standing outside of Jim's hospital. She peaked in and seen Jim watching TV. Melinda gulped, she didn't know whether or not she should go in.
