The next day Kathleen was still miraculously alive. Jennifer was with her the whole night.
The rest of the day was spent with Jennifer listening to the machines in Kathleen's room beep endlessly, and watching the nurses come in and out of the room, checking on her vital signs.
Around lunch time, Jennifer left the room, and headed for the hospital's cafeteria. She wasn't really in the mood to eat, but she knew she had to. She ordered a cheeseburger, with a side order of fries. She scarfed it all down in 5 minutes. She hadn't actually realized how hungry she was.
After finishing her meal, she headed back to Kathleen's room. As usual, all of Kathleen's vital signs had stayed the same.
Day after day, Jennifer's daily routine remained the same. Get up, watch Kathleen, eat lunch, watch Kathleen, sleep. It wasn't much, but at least Kathleen hadn't died, her injuries could have been a lot more serious.
About a week later when Jennifer was about to leave for lunch she thought she heard a groaning noise. Then it happened again and again... Suddenly, Kathleen sat up quickly, as if awaking from a bad dream. She broke out in sweats, and started screaming.
"Nurse, nurse!!! She's awake!!!"
