~ Recap ~

I feel it hit the side of my car and I scream as I collide with the roof. I suddenly find myself upside down.

I will myself to stay awake, but suddenly my eyes close and I'm unconscious.

Chapter Nine


They say when you're in a coma, you hear everything. It's true. I've heard everything for the past two days.

Josh hasn't left my side, not even to shower or change. He refuses to sleep. I try to will my self to wake up but I just can't.

At some point, I hear Josh screaming. What's wrong? I can hear him screaming my name, and telling me too wake up. I try to tell him that I'm fine, but my throat refuses to make sound.

" You can't!" He screams. " She'll die!"

And that's when it hits me. They're turning off my machine. They can't! I'll die!

You have too wake up Jen! You have too! You can't die now! Not after everything! You can't leave Josh!

I try to open my eyes, but it's like there're pins holding my eyelids down. I hear more screaming, and shattering. What is Josh doing?

When the doors close there is only silence. I fight to open my eyes as someone rustles around beside me. They're going to do it. You have to wake up, Jen! Wake up!

Suddenly, I feel a weight being lifted off my eyelids and my eyes are open. I struggle to breath, and I feel very weak. The nurse looks shocked, and says, " Miss Lawrence! How do you feel?"

" Not great, but. . ." I answer. My voice is very hoarse.

" Of course not," she shakes her head, pressing a wet cloth to my head. It feels nice. Refreshing.

" Can I see Mr Hutcherson?" I whisper.

" Of course, miss, let's get you sitting up."

It's when she helps me sit up that I realise how weak and tired I feel. . . And how slow and faint the beeping is.

I cannot fight anymore, nor can I continue the laboured breathing.

Josh walks in slowly. My eyes are only open a slit, and I try to smile but I end up wincing in pain. He runs to my side at this, and cups my face with his hands. I wince again.

" It's okay," he sooths. " You're gonna get through this."

I shake my head. " No, Josh, it hurts too much, I can't." I say. " Make it stop, Josh. Please."

" Shhh," he whispers. " Of course you're going to get through this. Of course you are."

" It hurts! Josh, make it stop!" I yell through gritted teeth.

" You know I would, Jen," he whispers, smoothing my hair. " But I can't. Only you can."

" I can't fight in anymore." I say hoarsely.

" Yes. Yes you can." He says. " You have too. Because, let's be honest, what would I do without you? You're my world, Jen, my everything. I love you more than life itself. I love everything about you, including your stubbornness. So you have too. And you will."

" I love you too, Josh." I whisper, preparing to close my eyes for the final time, but the loud, fast beating stops me. I'm living. Josh is making me live. " Josh, you literally make my heart beat faster."

He laughs, and I join in, and suddenly my throat doesn't feel so hoarse. I feel alive again. " You do the same to me," he says, cupping my face in his hands yet again.

I lean up, but wince in pain, so instead Josh leans down and kisses me softly. It sends sparks through my body, and I feel as if I'm on Cloud Nine.

" I love you, Jennifer." He whispers against my lips.

" I love you too, Josh." Is what I reply.
