The trip that changed my life // Jacob Sartorius

Chapter 15

I can't see anything but I can hear voices. I can hear my mom and dad talking to someone who sounds like a doctor. I can hear Mark beside me saying "I love you." He's never said that before. I hear a voice I never thought I would hear. "Don't die on me I need you in my life I miss you." I can hear Jacob saying to me.

I can't move my body. I can't see through my eyes but I can see in my imagination. I can see my old dog and my grandpa who died from cancer. I see my grandma who starts talking to me softly. I don't remember her that well but I do remember the way she died. She never woke up from her coma, so they took her off life support.

"Darling dear I've missed you. You've grown so much."

I try to say hello but my lips can't escape the words and I stay silent.

"Nadia, you're in a coma. Just like I was. And if you don't wake up soon the same thing will happen to you like what happened to me. But you see you can wake up from this coma. I knew I could and I knew how. But I didn't want to. I wanted to see my dear old Henry and your wonderful dog Scamp. Not to mention all of my wonderful friends."

I look up and see many elderly standing around. I don't recognize any of them.

"The way you can wake up is think. Think of everyone in your life and everyone you have. I had many people in my life. But my generation passed on and I was the last of them. I wanted to be with the family that was in my heart but now forever with me. Do you see what I'm saying? Think of your new boyfriend Mark. He's a keeper by the way. And Jacob. You may never want to be friends with him again but everyone deserves a second chance. So to return to your old self think of your life on the earth living. Not up here, not now. It was my time but not yours. Ask yourself what do you think your future will be. Because if you don't Jacob will go into depression and Marks gonna commit suicide just to be with you. But you can be with all those great people in your life by the things I told you. Goodbye my darling I will see you in years to come." She blew a kiss and waved.

I wanted to hear grandmas soft voice once again, I missed that voice but she was gone. I did what she told me to do.  I thought of Mark, the perfect boyfriend my best friend he will always be there for me. I think of my parents they will love me forever and my love grows for them everyday and never stops. My brother I may hate him at times but he's my brother and I still gotta love him. I think of my amazing friends and how we will grow up with each other in life. The last person I think of is Jacob. I think of our future. I see us together, dating being happy. I see me and Maddie being friends, the perfect life. Maybe I want to pursue those dreams. Maybe I want Jacob.

I don't know how long I was thinking of my future but it seemed like a long time. I heard voices too. I heard people wishing my parents luck I heard doctors talking in their medical language.

"Today's the day. I'm very sorry" I heard a doctor say.

I couldn't tell what was happening but things started to fade even more then they were. It went darker.

"She's off life support now." A doctor said.

My mom was sobbing. The doctor took them out of the room and I heard the door close.

This couldn't be it. I can hear I'm still alive. How can I still be living do I have the strength? I thought of the memories but this time it was me being loved by Jacob. We were a happy couple. He was always by my side. Always.

I heard the door open and close one more time I figured it was a doctor. Then I felt my body tingling. I could feel my body but I still lay doing nothing. I felt a warm hand touching my hand, and a warmth between my lips.

My eyes open and I see the brightness of the world and I see Jacob.

Jacob's pov

This can't be it. I need to say goodbye.

I walk into her room and she's off life support. I sit beside her and hold her hand for the last time. I kiss her lips.

She wakes up with a catch of breath and she looks over to our hands.

"Jacob" she says looking at me.

It's a miracle.

"Nurse! She's up she's alive! Nadia woke up!" I yelled.

A nurse rushed in and said it was a miracle. My parents and Mark rushed in. They all saw Jacob and I holding hands but I took my hand away and gave a hug to everyone in my family and Mark.

"I'm glad you're okay, and I see Jacob's glad too" Mark said.
