It was now 5:00 pm. Jamie was still sleeping (or was she?). Craig walked up to her room to check on her. He saw her laying there and tried to wake her up, but she wouldn't. He felt for her pulse. She was breathing really slowly and heavilly. Craig dialed 911 and waited for the ambulance. Craig rode with her to the hospital. He was really worried and hoped she'd be okay.
The ambulance arrived at he hospital just a few minutes later. Craig had to wait in the waiting room while they examined Jamie. A few minutes later the doctor walked out. Craig jumped up from the chair he was sitting in and walked over to him.
"Is she gonna be alright" he asked. "What's wrong with her?"
"I'm sorry to tell you this, but....." the doctor said. "She's in a coma"
"Is she gonna wake up?" he asked worriedly.
"That varies with some patients" the doctor said. "Some get out in a few days, others in years and some never wake up, so family members end up pulling the plug"
Crag hoped and prayed she'd comeout of a coma.
"When can i see her?" he asked.
"You can see her right now" the doctor said. "She's in room 3"
"Thanks" Craig said.
He walked to room 3 and opened the door. He was shocked at what he saw. Jamie layed there. She was kind of pale and hooked up to so many machines. He didn't want to lose her. He prayed that she would wake up. Craig sat down next to her hospital bed. He took her hand in his and stroked it with his thumb. He thought about their first date and how much fun they had. He would love to get to know her more. He was already falling for her.
"You have to wake up" he said, his accent getting thicker. "You just have to. I care about you so much and i need you. Please wake up"
Craig cried. He wished she would wake up. Just then, he felt Jamie squeezing his hand. He looked up to see Jamies eyes flutter open. He ran out to get the doctor.
The doctor came in to check her out. Craig had to wait outside. The doctor walked out a few minutes later.
"She's going to be just fine" the doctor said. "She can go home today"
"Is the baby okay?" he asked.
"Yes" the doctor said. "The baby is going to be just fine"
"Thank god" Craig said, letting out a sigh of relief. "Can I go in to see her now?"
"Yeah" the doctor said. "Go ahead. I'll get her discharge papers"
Craig walked into her room and sat next to her hospital bed.
"Hey" she said, quietly.
"Hey" Craig said. "How are you feeling?"
"I've been better" she said. "But I'll be okay"
"That's good" Craig said. "You gave me quite a scare"
"I know" she said. "I'm sorry"
"Hey" he said. "It wasn't your fault"
"I know" she said. "And I care about you too"
Craig smiled.
"You heard me?" he asked.
"Yeah" she said. "That's what brought me back. I couldn't just leave you"
Just then, the doctor walked in with her discharge papers. Craig signed them. The nurse took off all of the machines. Craig helped Jamie up and they got into the awaiting limo. They got to Jamie's apartment. Craig and Jamie walked into her apartemnt and sat on the couch.
Craig just looked deep into her eyes. He wanted to kiss her, but he knew this wasn't the time or place for that. They sat in silence for a while, before Craig began to speak.
"I missed you" he said.
"I know" she said. "I missed you too."
Craig smiled.
"Can you stay with me tonight?" she asked.
"Sure" Craig said. "Do you wanna watch a movie?"
"Yeah" she said, smiling. "I'd love that"
"Okay" he said, turning on the TV. "Funny or Scary?"
"Ummm" she said. "Scary"
"Okay" he said. "Scary it is"
He turned on a scary movie. They layed on the couch and watched it. Every time a scary part came on, she moved closer and closer to Craig. Craig just smiled as she did this. Eventually ,they both fell asleep.
