The next morning the whole household was depressed. Jamie, usually being the happy one, was also brought down from the unfortunate events.

The bad vibe bounced around the house as they cooked breakfast in silence.

Luckily, the girls had the day off and were able to visit Elena.

Jamie sat beside the table with her head resting on her shoulders. She felt that she had caught a cold.

She didn't want to say anything, in fear the girls would be more upset. Little did she know, it would probably help them.

It was an odd thing, but the girls felt like they were not doing their jobs correctly.

First, Elena is hurt, and they have absolutely no control over her.

If they discover that Jamie is sick, then they will do everything they can to help her.

Jamie had bags under her eyes, her face also was red. She sky blue eyes were a dark blue. She was exhausted.

As they sat down to eat, they each barely touched their food.

One by one, the girls empties their plates into the garbage. This was when Jesy noticed something was wrong with Jamie.

She watched her closely as she sat with her head on her left hand. She didn't touch the food in front of her, nor did she even take any notice to it, it was untouched.

Jesy walked up to the younger girl.

"What's wrong baby girl?" Jesy asked, concerned.

Jamie shrugged and said, "I'm just tired."

Jesy knew better than to believe this, she put the back of her hand on Jamie's forehead.

"Gosh, you're burning up."

Jamie felt bad that she was making the girls more worried. But, she knew nothing she said would stop Jesy now.

Jesy took Jamie's temperature.

"101.3, you've got a fever." Jesy said while walking to the medicine cabinet.

She grabbed a few pills and a water bottle. Then gave both of the items to Jamie.

Jamie put the pills in her mouth, but was too weak to open the water.

Jesy unscrewed the cap and tipped a small amount into Jamie's mouth until she was finished.

"Come on, lets get you to bed." Jesy said, motherly instincts kicking in.

She tucked the sick girl into her bed and pushed some of her hair behind her ears.

"I'm gonna make you some soup and I want you to eat it all, okay?" Jesy asked then kissed her forehead.

Jamie mumbled something into her pillow. She really didn't want to worry the girls, but she also needed the care.

Jesy left the room to find Leigh, who was in her room listening to music.

She pulled out her ear-buds and waited for Jesy to speak.

"Jamie is sick, could you watch her while I make her some soup?"

"Of course!" Leigh answered quickly. She was up on her feet in seconds and rushing down the hallway.

Jesy then walked downstairs to make Jamie some well needed soup.

Jamie was happy when she saw Leigh come into the room with a movie. She was grateful for the company after she decided to just let the girls do their jobs.

Leigh put 'If I Stay' into the player and then climbed into the bed.

Jamie snuggled up to her warmth and sighed. Leigh put her arm around her back and pulled them closer together.

Around the middle of the movie, Jesy came back with a bowl of hot soup.

She fed some of it to Jamie until she refused to eat anymore of it.

Jesy joined the two in the bed as they watched the movie. Towards the end, when Adam begs his lover, Mia, to stay was when Jamie got an idea.

"Do you think everything is like that for Elena too?" She asked curious.

Leigh and Jesy looked at each other confused.

"What are you talking about sweety?" Jesy asked kindly.

"Do you think the world is like that for Elena too?", she gestured towards the screen, "Do you think she knows what's going on but can do nothing about it? Do you think if we asked her to stay she would hear us?"

Jesy was concerned, "Sweetheart she can't hear a thing, she's in a coma and there's nothing the doctors or we can do about it. She can't control it either. It's up to fate if she lives and I understand if you're upset, but thats just crazy talk." She tried to brighten the mood by laughing at the end.

Jamie didn't believe her, she thought that maybe if she tried talking to Elena it would keep her alive.

After the movie, the girls left Jamie to get some sleep.

But, Jamie stayed up for an hour doing research about coma's.

She was planning to make Elena stay, whether they thought it was crazy or not.
