I Think I Love You

Chapter 22: NO!

I curl up in a ball on my brothers lap crying my eyes out.

"Shhhh he is strong he is gonna be ok. I promise" he says trying to calm me down.

The doctor walks over to me with a sad expression on his face.

"What's wrong with him" Brian asked nervously

"He broke his leg due to the fact that the wave was so strong when it pulled him under and his leg hit the sand on the bottom. He then hit his head and this rock that was out there and he passed out. If you would not have found him he would've been gone. He is now in a coma. And it's not a matter of time when he wakes up its if he wakes up" the doctor says with a sad expression

"Can we see him" I choke out

"Yes but he is asleep and he also has a concussion. It's pretty major too" he says leading us to Jake's room

We walk in and I freeze at the scene before me.

Jake has wires attached all over him. He is as white as a sheet too.

"It's all my fault" I say

"No it's not you didn't do this to him"

"I LET HIM WALK OUT IN THAT STORM LIKE AN IDIOT I AM. NOW TELL ME HOW IT'S NOT MY FAULT?!" I say yelling while the tears spill out of my eyes

"Jake! You can't leave me!" I say hugging Brian

"Shhh the whole family is coming to see him. Everything is going to be ok I promise. Jake is gonna wake up" he says hugging me.

He picks me up and sits me in a chair by the bed.

I grab Jake's hand and kiss it.

My aunt walks in holding my baby.

I grab him and kiss his tiny head.

"I missed you" I say smiling at him

He giggles and grabs my hair.

I sit him beside jake and he snuggles up beside him quickly going to sleep.

My family hugs me one last time before leaving.

My brother stays behind trying to get me to eat something but I refuse every time

How can I eat now that my husband is in a comma and might not wake up?

"Sis if you don't eat you could get sick"

"I don't care. I'm not leaving his side" I say with silent tears pouring down my face.

"Fine I'm going to get something I'll be right back" Brian says frustrated

"Why you jake? why couldn't it of been me?" I say kissing his head

-TIME LASPS 3 WEEKS LATER-

It has been three weeks and jake has not woken up yet.

The only thing that tells me he is alive is the beeping from the machine.

"Mam it has been three weeks. Can you please eat something for us?" the nurse says holding a peanut butter and jelly sandwich

I reluctantly take it and begin eating it piece by peace until it is gone

I'm not going to be able to keep it down I think in my head

As if on cue I feel the urge to puke and I jump up and run to the bathroom

After I was finished my stomach was empty again.

I walk back over to Jake and I cry some more.

Soon I fall asleep tears still spilling down my face
