========================

For once, I wasn't pacing the floor. Instead I was sitting on my bed and staring. Nothing but staring. My right hand was clutched to the locket that Jason had given me. It was still hanging around my neck. I had worn it every day since he had given it to me. I held the silver heart tighly in my hand. It was still an empty locket, but I was thinking about what it said. Hope.

On the desk beside my bed, was my cell phone. Any minute now, I could very well get a phone call saying that Jason wasn't going to make it. That there was no hope left for him.

Then I remember the hope that Jason and Alyssa had in God. The God that Jason had told me was the one and only God.

I took a deep breath. I didn't exactly know how to do this. Do I close my eyes? Fold my hands? Get down on my knees?

Finally, after hesitation, I started. "Um, God? I don't know if you're really there. But Jason says you are. And if Jason believes in you, then I'm pretty sure you're something worth believing in. I'm just not completely sure yet." I paused. "I...I don't exactly know how to say this, but...if you're really there, could you heal Jason? Let him be okay? Jason says that you can work miracles...so if you're truly there, show me that you are. And...and just let Jason be okay. Please?" Tears began streaming down my face.

"Please." I whispered.

For several minutes, I just sat there, silently crying, and still holding my locket, with my eyes closed. There was nothing left to say or do. Just to wait.

My phone rang. I had literally been sitting for an hour. I slowly reached for my phone. It was Jason's mom. As I swiped the screen to answer the call, I forgot to breath. My heart began racing. She had said that she would call me if she got any bad news. And she was calling me now.

Did that mean...?

I put the phone to my ear. "H-hello?"
