Sue was in her car waiting at a stop light. The hospital wasn't very far away but it seemed like the longest drive she ever had to make. All she could think about was Jack and getting to him. "Please God, let him be okay," she whispered. If anything happened to him she didn't know how she would be able to cope with that. She tried not to think of the worse and continued to silently pray for him.
Once at the hospital, Sue found Jack's room and immediately saw Bobby waiting in the hallway. "Bobby," she called out.
"Sue, I'm glad your back." he met her halfway and gave her a hug. When he pulled back, she saw the worry in his eyes.
"How is he Bobby?" Sue was desperate for answers.
"I don't know, the doctor is in with him now. The E.R. nurse told me he was in pretty bad shape when they brought him"
Sue nodded taking a deep breath. When the doctor walked out, Sue and Bobby approached him. "How is he doctor?" Sue asked.
"He has few fractured ribs, we've given him medication for the pain. Nothing else seems to be broken. There are a lot of cuts and bruises, which makes it looks worse than it is. He needs to rest right now and we've given him something to sleep."
"Can we see him?" Sue asked.
The doctor nodded, "only one visitor at time."
"You go ahead Sue." said Bobby.
Sue thanked Bobby with a smile and walked slowly into Jack's room. She hardly recognized him, he looked pretty bad. He was hooked up to wires, and machines, and they were also monitoring his heart because of his condition. Sue took a deep breath. It was hard seeing him like this, the man she loved. When Jack had his heart attack she realized how deeply she loved him and now she wished he knew how she felt about him. If he had been taken from her, she didn't know how she would be able to go on. Sue reached for his hand, gently holding it in hers.
"Jack it's Sue. I'm here for you. You have to get better, you hear me." A single tear slipped down her cheek.
