The Necklace

Chapter 7

(I have made the decision to make this a shortish story. I'm think maybe 10 chapters, if that. I'm on spring break right now so I might be able to get 2-3 chapters up.)

Chapter 7
(Sara's POV)

The next night during story time, Jamie was really excited.

"Mommy! Daddy! I want to know what happened!" She kept saying over and over again.

"Calm down sweetie, we all have to get to bed early for tomorrow morning. So tonight's we need to finish the story. Where did we leave off?" I say, tucker her in.

"He said 'Sara, please wake up.' So what happened at the hospital?"

"Well...

~~~~~~~~~~~

I was aware of everything around me. I could hear, smell, feel, but not see. I knew Henry was with me the whole time because I could hear his breathing.

There was really nothing the doctors could do, it was now a waiting game. What was funny to me was the little speech that woke me up.

On the third day, I believe it was around 12:30pm, I heard the door open and close.

"Excuse me, Mr. Arnet, but it seems that all Mrs. Marie's vital signs are not coming back accurate. The past couple of days this has been happening with other patients. As of this moment, we do not have any options but to hope she wakes up safe and soon." The doctor said.

I could hear what sounded like thunder outside, signaling the signs of a bad storm.

"What about the storm, last time a storm like this hit, the whole city lost power. Will the loss of power affect anything?" I could hear the sadness in Henry's voice.

"Unfortunately yes, there is a possibility that the generators will not come on. We will do what ever we can to keep everyone in this hospital safe." The door opens and closes again.

By now, I know he's crying. I feel the side of the bed shift. Someone grabs my hand and places a kiss on top of it.

"Oh Sara. I've only know you for a few days, but it seems like we've had this connection for a lot longer. Oh, please don't leave me. When I found out you had the necklace, I was ecstatic. I could finally find someone who would treat me like a real person, not the spoiled rich boy. Not you, though, not you. When we ran into each other that day in the coffee shop, you didn't really know who I was. When you recognized me, you didn't try to suck up to me, you didn't try to change yourself to look different. And I love you for that." With those words said, I knew I needed to tell him I loved him too.

With all my might, I open my eyes just enough to see the silhouette of Henry sitting next to me. He doesn't seem to notice me yet, so again with all my strength, I move my hand so it touches his leg slightly. He notices the soft touch and looks down at me.

"I love you too." I was able to whisper.

He smiles and leans down to give me a hug.
