"Zoe..." Linda said, popping her head round the corner. "I've got good new-'

She stopped, seeing Zoe sleeping on the sofa. Finally getting some peace. Linda wondered if she should wake Zoe, seeing her there. She decided to wake her, as she knew how much Zoe wanted to see her daughter.

"Zoe... Wake up." Linda said, gently shaking her. It didnt take her long to wake her up.
"What?" Zoe said, finally coming to her senses. "Is Jess okay?"
"Jess is fine! She is out of theatre now. Do you want to see her?"
"Yes!" Zoe said, jumping up.
"Zoe.. you need to get up slowly after laying down! You could get dizzy." Linda reminded her.
"Im fine. Let me see Jess."
"Okay."

Arriving at Jess's cubicle, Zoe entered first, followed by Linda. Nick was there with her, checking all her vital signs. Jess was still sleeping from the anaesthetic.
"Is she all right?" Zoe asked Nick.
"She is just fine. She is dosed up with pain meds at the minute though, so she shouldn't feel any pain when she wakes up." Nick explained.
"Thanks Nick." Zoe said, and Nick left them.
"I will leave you both alone." Linda said, backing out of the cubicle, following Nick.

Zoe was left alone with her daughter. Zoe pulled a chair over to her bed, and took hold of her hand.
"Jess, you scared the life out of me! I thought I'd lost you when I saw you coming out of the back of the ambulance." A tear slipped down her cheek, but she quickly wiped it away. "Just please hurry up and wake up! Squeeze my hand..." Zoe knew it was a long shot, but hoped that she still heard and would try to do it. She felt slight pressure on her hand. It wasn't strong just yet, but Zoe didn't really expect anything so soon. "Thank you." She said, and kissed her daughters hand.

Zoe sat there for the next few hours, even knowing she had work to do. Linda, Lenny, Tess, nearly everyone in the ED that knew Jess came to visit. All but two. Dylan and Sam.

When Zoe was lost in her thoughts, she felt movement from Jess's hand, bringing her back to thinking about her daughter. She clasped her daughters hand tightly, and put her hand to Jess's forehead, stroking it with her thumb.
"Jess? Wake up." Zoe said, seeing Jess stir. After a minute or two, Jess opened her eyes, and looked at her mother.
"Mum." She said, thickly. She was still tired from all the meds.
"Jess! You had me so worried!" Zoe said, another tear slipping out.
"What happened?"
"You got trapped by concrete. Remember that?"
"Sort of..." Jess said, trying to recall events.
"Then, you apparently lost conciousness in the ambulance, and then in resus, you had a cardiac arrest..."
"I died?"
"Yes, but Nick and Lenny helped bring you back."
"Oh. Why does my stomach hurt?" Jess asked, wincing a little bit.
"The cement block that got planted across your abdomen gave you internal bleeding. You had an operation to fix it." Zoe said.
"Oh..." Jess said, just as the events from earlier came back to her. "Oh my god is Sam alright?" she asked, moving and then wincing and groaned.
"Be careful, and don't move yet." Zoe scolded. "Sam is fine. She has concussion though from roof panelling, but she isn't in a serious condition."
"Can I see her?"
"Maybe tomorrow. You aren't well enough,and Sam isn't awake yet."
"Well can you get Dylan then? I want to thank him for helping me."
"You met Dylan?"
"Yeah, he stayed with me while the ambulances were coming." Jess winced again.
"I will go and see if he will come, but no garantees. He hasn't left Sam since she was bought in."
"Oh..."
"I will go and get him." Zoe said.
"Wait... are my other friends alright? You know, Emily and Karmen? They were with me."
"They were not bought in. I think they managed to get out."
"Thats great."
"Ill find Dylan, then you get some rest. Okay?"
"Okay."
"Ill be back in a second." Zoe said.
