•Jakayla's POV•
I hear someone crying near me but I can't see. "I'm so sorry, Jakayla!! I love you! I know you can't hear me but I can't hold it back anymore. I want to scream I love you from the top of my lungs, but I'm afraid someone else will hear me. I love you, Jakayla Ann Wentz. I always will."
I feel someone put their hand in mine. I try and give their hand a squeeze. I succeeded! I try to open my eyes, succeeding again. "Patrick?" I ask, my voice raspy.
•Patrick's POV•
Abigail and Pete left two hours ago to get some sleep and food. I told them that I would stay here and wait. I am so tempted to go and buy some food. I can't leave her here alone though. I start to cry again. "I'm so sorry, Jakayla!! I love you! I know you can't hear me but I can't hold it back anymore. I want to scream I love you from the top of my lungs, but I'm afraid someone else will hear me. I love you, Jakayla Ann Wentz. I always will."
I pick up her hand and hold it like it's my lifeline. Suddenly I feel my hand being squeezed. I look at Jakayla. Her eyes open and with her raspy voice, she asks, "Patrick?"
"Jakayla! You're okay! I... I... Doctor!!!" I shout.
"What's all this racket about, Mr. Stump?"
"Hello?" Jakayla asks.
"Oh! Miss Wentz, you're awake!"
