Twenty minutes later the doctor and his team came out of the room. Jim, Delia and Ned stood up. Delia and Ned came to the hospital because they wanted to visit Melinda. They were shocked when Jim told them what happened.

They all were looking at the doctor now.

"We brought her back" said the doctor.

"OMG… How is she? Can I go to her?" Jim asked.

"Well… She isn't awake yet and we don't know if she ever will."

"WHAT??? S-She is still in that damn COMA?"
"Yes, she is. It was hard to bring her back. Just when we couldn't do anything for her…her heart started to beat again."

"That's such a nightmare. I wanna go to her now!" Jim shouted.

"Jim, calm down." Delia tried to calm him while se hugged him.

"Did you call Beth??? Does she know what happened???" she wanted to know.

"No, not yet… Could you please call her???"
"Yeah I will." she answered and turned to call Beth. "And Jim, she'll be fine!!"
"Thanks. What if she won't? I cannot live without her… AND I DON'T WANT TO!!!"
"Jim, you won't. She'll wake up. Believe me. Melinda is strong!" said Ned.

"The nurse will come out of the room soon. When she's out you can go to your wife." the doctor interrupted the conversation.

Five minutes later the nurse came out and Jim immediately went into the room. He looked at the bed where his beloved Melinda was resting. She was covered with some more tubes. His heart stopped beating for two seconds. Jim decided to sit on the couch next to Melinda's bed. He was sitting there for hours but Melinda didn't wake up.

Meanwhile Delia was calling Beth.

"Hello?"
"Hello Beth, it's Delia."
"Oh, hi De. How are you?"

"Well, not so good actually. I gotta tell you something very bad. Are you sitting???"
"Yes, I'm sitting on my couch. What happened???"
"Erm…yeah… This is kind of hard to explain. You had an appointment with Melinda yesterday, hadn't you?"
"Yes, I had but she cancelled…"
"Yeah, she had this weird dream about Jim. I think she told you?! Something like her dream happened… A man looking like Jim fell into her window and she first thought it'd be Jim but it turned out as he wasn't. While they were on their way to get to the car Melinda lost consciousness and since then she didn't wake up. She died and the doctor was working at her for twenty minutes. He brought her back but she still is in a coma and we don't know if…she'd ever…wake up again…" The last words were very hard on Delia.

"WHAT??? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME EARLIER??? I'LL BE AT THE HOSPITAL IN TEN MINUTES… I CANNOT LEAVE MY LITTLE GIRL THERE ALONE…"

"It's already dark. Why don't you come tomorrow??? Jim is with her the hole time… And you can't do anything for her anyway."
"You're right. Can you pick me here tomorrow?? I don't know if I'm in the position to drive."
"Yeah, I'll pick you up at 10 am if that's okay with you…"
"Well, that's okay. Please tell Jim that he's not alone."

"Okay, I'll tell him. See ya."
"Bye." They hang up.

Delia went to Melinda's room, knocked and went into it. She found a crying Jim sitting on the couch.

"How is she?"
"Dunno."

"Hey, Jim… You're not alone… I'm here and tomorrow I'll bring Beth here. We all are here for you."
"Thanks, De."

"Why don't you go home and sleep??? You look exhausted. I'll stay here and if there's any news I'll call you…"
"No, I don't wanna leave her alone. Not now. Not ever."

"Jim… This is not helping her in any way."
"This doesn't matter to me…she could die while I'm at home."

"DON'T SAY EVER SOMETHING LIKE THIS AGAIN!" Delia had tears in her eyes. She couldn't believe what Jim just said. She sat on the couch with Jim until he slept in. Then she went home to Ned.

The next morning Delia came to the hospital with Beth. Beth actually looked like a corpse because she didn't sleep the hole night. While they were opening the door to Melinda's room Beth started to scream so loud that Jim woke up.
