"I guess I'm just scared he'll never wake up. I just...I just don't want to be alone again," I'm sitting on the black leather sofa again. I'm here because I'm talking to Georgia, my shrink. Sometimes her husband, Chris, comes in too. He's really nice. I feel like I can trust them. Sky, Alice, Nicole and even Daisy try and talk to me, but my walls have all gone up again. It's not that I don't trust them, I'm just ashamed. It's my fault Jakes in a coma. My fault. Nicole is Jakes girlfriend. I told her about what happened between me and Lewis and she was cool with it. She must've noticed my confusion and just told me that Jake should explain when he wakes up. He will wake up.
"I see what you mean, but you're not alone. You have your friends. They're always going to be there, through thick and thin," Georgia says to me with a sympathetic look on her face. His words will never leave my mind.

"Oh baby, we're gonna have fun tonight"

I can't sleep. I have excruciating nightmares that end up with me screaming. My brother Caleb is staying with me for a while. He calms me down at nights and helps with the bills. I'm only renting but I can't work at the minute. My boss understands and calls it off ill.
"I KNOW THAT. I DON'T CARE IF THEY ARE OR AREN'T. I JUST NEED JAKE!" I break down onto the floor and Georgia comes down to me and wraps me in her arms. Chris must've heard the shouting because he also runs in and to my side.
When they've managed to calm me down, I call Nicole and ask for her to pick me up.
"Sure. Where are you?" She sounds surprised. Understandable. I haven't spoken to her. EVER. She gets there in ten minutes and I get in the car. She knows where I want to go before I ask. She's taking me too the hospital. She normally takes me around this time but I don't normally call her.
We get there quickly and whilst we're in the lift she decides to break the Erie silence.
"You look better. Your brother said you go there often," woah. Woah. Woah. When did she talk to my brother.
"Yeh I do. May I ask, when did you talk to my brother?"
"I talk to him everyday. I got his number at the hospital a month ago. I got it for Jake, but we call so I can check up on you and tell Jake. You should come to see him. You should come in the room instead of sitting outside. He'd love that," I know she means well but,
"I try my best, ok. I can't stand seeing him like that. I know you all hate me. It's my fault. I ju-" I'm cut of my Nicole. She pulls me into a warm hug.
"We don't hate you babes, we love you, and so does Jake. Please come inside?"

We're now standing outside the room about to enter.
"I'm going to go get some coffee," Nicole says starting to walk off. I push the door open and there he is. Lifeless. I walk up and sit in the chair next to the bed. I hold his hand in my hands.
"Jake," I cry staring at his face,"I'm so so sorry. It's all my fault." I'm now proper crying. The door opens, and Nicole walks in.
"I'm sorry I can't," I whimper and slowly stand up to walk out, but something stops me. I look up at Nicole infront of me. Her jaw is practically on the floor.
"Plea...don......leav," a voice behind me says, breathing heavily. Nicole runs to the door and calls for the doctor. I turn around and he's grasping at my hand. I hug him gently and kiss his forehead before the doctor walks in.
"I'll never leave you. I found you and I don't plan on losing you again."
