The Story Of My Life ( A Jacksgap Story )

Chapter Eighteen, Please Wake up

Almost five weeks of Jack lying motionless in a clincal, hospital bed. I have been at the hospital for nearly 12 hours everyday. I would come home to sleep, but sleep kept eluding me. Jack was the main thing on my mind. I had barely eaten, and lost a significant amount of weight. One morning, before I left to go to the hospital, I stood staring at my blood stained wedding dress. It had only been five weeks, and my husband was in the hospital. I looked down at my tiny stomach. It rumbled, but I ignored it. I quickly rushed out the hospital. I practically run to Jacks room, and slump down in the armchair opposite his bed. I slowly stroke his hair, it felt like he was a million miles away. I take a hold of his hand and just absorbed his warmth.

"Please wake up" I whisper. Suddenly Finn appeared from around the corner. 

"What time did you get here?" He smiled.

"Usual time"

"You eaten?" 

"Yes" I lied. He shot me a look of disbelieve. I shook my head and looked back down at Jack. 

"You have to eat, you've already lost more weight than is healthy for you"

"I'm not hungry" Finn let out a frustrated sigh, and sat down next to me. He brought me into a hug. I buried my face into his shoulder. We pull out of the hug. 

"Thank you, Finn" I whipser and look back over at Jack. I look down at his hand, and I notice something. His finger twitched. A river of shock, excitement and worry flowed through me. I fumbled for Finns hand.

"Finn...Finn... His finger twitched" I stutter.

"You've been saying that for weeks, you need to relax" He says taking hold of my shoulders. Jacks finger twitched again. "Okay I saw that." I grippd Jacks hand tightly and looked at his eyes, begging him in my mind for him to wake up. His eyes flutter, and I take an inward gasp. They slowly open, and I see the emerald eyes I haven't seen for a long time. Finn runs out of the room to go and find a nurse, and I am left here with tears in my eyes as I get my husband back. He looks at me and smiles, I couldn't be happier. 

"Hello beautiful" He croaks. I cry tears of joy as he cups my cheek. 

"Hello Handsome" I whisper back. Jack uses his thumb to wipe away my tears. A doctor and three nurses come into the room and Jack and I are seperated again. They shined lights in his eyes, tested his reflexes, everything. About an hour later, we are left alone. Jack slowly sits up right, and opens his arms to me. I clamber onto the bed next to him, I rest my head gently on his chest and he strokes my hair. I listen to his heartbeat, and I can finally relax. 

"How long have I been asleep?" He croaks, as he had only just got his voice back.

"About 5 weeks"

"That was one hell of a lie in" he joked. I looked up at his eyes and smiled. Jack turned to his brother. 

"Nice to have you back mate" Finn whispered, trying to hide his tears. 

"Nice to be back with my two favourite favourite people" I feel Jacks hug tighten slightly. 

"Mr. Harries, we would like to perform some tests on your current mental ability. It will take a number of hours. But you will be able to go home by the end of the day" A doctor enters the room, forcing me to get up off the bed. Suddenly Jack is wheeled out and Finn and I are left stood in the middle of an empty room. I can't wipe the smile from my face and I jump on Finn. I was so happy. 

"He's back Finn" I whisper in Finns ear, I feel him laugh. I climb down from Finn, and pick up my handbag. "I'm going to go home and clean. Make it nice for Jack"  I smile. 

"I'll wait here for him"

"Tell you what, I'll come back in about three hours. That way you can go home and chill out. It's been stressful enough for both of us"

"Okay, deal" Finn smiles. I drive home in one of the happiest moods I've been in for a long time. After about 2 and a half of cleaning, I come to the point to put away my wedding dress. I stare at its pristine white mixed with scarlett red. The blood, just made me flashback the night. Jack being hurt, me feeling like Jack was going to die. The thought that I could have lost my husband. I suddenly notice my hands are in fists. I relax and quickly zip up the dress bag. I drive back to the hospital, and Finn leaves. I sit in the waiting room, trying to find things to occupy my mind. Jack appeared from around the corner smiling. I run up to him, and instantly pull him into a hug. 

"I've missed you so so much" I tell him.

"I've missed you too"

"Lets get you home" I smile. I take a hold of his hand, feeling like everything was ok. We walk out into the car park. 

"You know, this is technically our wedding night" He hinted. I laughed, at the fact that he was eager. 

"You're kidding right. You've just come out of a coma. Your not waiting are you" He laughed. We drove home, and opened up the doors to our home. It felt comforting, knowing Jack was back. 

"Now we are home, I have to ask you a question" He asked quite seriously. 

"Sure, what's up?" 

"Have you been eating? I mean you look like you've lost a lot of weight. More than a healthy amount. Be honest with me" He says, looking deep into my eyes. He holds my shoulders. I look down trying to avoid his gaze. I hear him sigh. 

"Sorry, I was worried about you"

"Well now I'm worried about you. Please eat something."

"I promise I will later"

"Now please" He smiles. I pick up an apple and take a bite out of it. And smile.

"I love you" I smile

"I love you too"
