Bobby and the other guy, whose name was Jeff, brought Jim to hospital. Melinda was waiting for the nurse but she didn't show up. She was lost in thought when her cell rang. It was Beth.
"Hi Melinda. How are you?"
"Hey, mom. I'm okay. Why do you call me?? Did anything happen??"
"Well, we had an appointment for today and you guys didn't show up. No one is at your home so I thought just try on her cell…"
"Damn, I really forgot. Sorry, mom. It's just… well, how could I explain…"
"What's wrong Melinda? Melinda??"
"Erm… yes… I have to call you back. Bye." Suddenly she heard the voice again. Put an end to it! PUT AN END TO IT! She tried to forget these words but she couldn't. The voice was too familiar. While Mel was waiting Bobby came back.
"They are still doing tests on him. Maybe he needs to be operated!"
"Oh my god… What happened to him? What did he actually do in the store? I want to be with him NOW!"
"He'll be fine!!! Don't worry. Call me if there is any news."
With these words Bobby turned and went back to work. The minutes went by and no one showed up. Three hours later a nurse came to Mel.
"We needed to operate him. His head is seriously injured. Mr. Clancy is in a coma and we don't know when he'll wake up again."
"Okay. Do you know what happened?"
"No, not yet. I thought that you'd know what happened to your husband?!"
"Well, I don't know what happened to him. Can I go to him?"
"Yeah, but please don't touch the machines they are very important for him. AND call one of the nurses when the machines are making noises!!"
"Okay, thank you."
Mel went into the room. Her heart stopped beating when she saw Jim. He was lying on the bed like a corpse. She couldn't move for five minutes. It felt like five hours. Mel laid down in Jim's bed and slept in. She couldn't tell how many hours she had laid there but it was a great feeling to be near Jim. If she could make a wish now she'd have wished that he'd wake up and give her a kiss. She thought that Jim might wake up if she'd kiss him like in a fairytale. So she kissed him but he still slept. Suddenly she saw the shadow again. Put an end to it! PUT AN END TO IT!
