The doctors rushing in a teenage boy with a bloody rag on his left arm, fighting to get a word from the mouth that was covered by an air bag being pumped by the nurse. A few long hours later, a doctor comes to the waiting room.
"Keven Hertz?" The doctor in a white lab coat lets out in a small yell.
"Yes, thats me!" A man, sitting at the back corner of the waiting room springs up and sprints to the doctor, deprate for an awnser.
"Jakub, he is okay, but he fell into a mild coma from the blood loss" the man in the lab coat was intrupted.
"What the fuck do you mean a coma!" Keven yells out. Other people in the waiting room staring.
"Sir, your son is okay, for now he is on a breathing and eating tube, we have to find a blood bank that carys jakubs type of blood, so we can transfer the blood and jakub should be awake in no time." A small grin apperes on the side of the docs face.
"He will be just fine, we will send a nurse for you when he is ready to be seen by you." The doc followed, then turns to walk back through the double automatic doors.
The next few days keven sits bedside jakub as he and his newly wife talk about the good memories of jakub.
"Keven, look!" Katee (kevens wife) says as she points to the hand of jakub, as his index finger moves slightly.
"Jakub, can you hear me? Its your dad" keven says, softly grabing the hand that had the only life in jakub.
"Please jakub, your my world, i need you to wake up so i know your okay, i need to see your pale blue eyes agian, please jakub, you can do it. Do it for your dad." Keven crys out, silently.
"Do you remeber when you were 7, and i took you camping to the old lake down the lane? You had the time of your life. I know that because you told me, 'dad, i never want to leave, i love being here with just me and you' and it made me cry that night, that i could bring you some type of joy after what your mom did, do you remember son? Please tell me you remb..." he is cut off by a soft voice, one that he had heard before.
"I remember" jakub softly lets slide between his chapped lips.
Keven watches jakubs pale blue eyes show between his eye lids as he opens them slowly, then shuts them to open then even wider.
"Jakub!" Keven says with excitement.
"I knew you would be okay!" Keven hugs his hand tight to his chest, because jakub still has a feeding tube that runs from his mouth taped to his chest to keep it from moveing.
Katee fetches the doctor to alert him that jakub is awake.
"Hello, jakub! My name is Dr. Bennett" he says as he walks in following katee.
"Lets get that feeding tube from you so we can see how you are doing" he says once more before slightly tugging on it.
"This wont hurt, but its gonna feel weird, so just relax, okay?"
Jakub looks at his dad, holding his hand to his chest.
"Its okay, im right here son, just as he said, stay relaxed and he will get that out so you can talk" keven says, as a tear rolls down his cheek, he wipes away quickly.
Dr. Bennett starts to pull, jakubs hand tightens in his dads chest.
"Ackk.." jakub lets out as the end on the tube comes out of his body.
He starts to cough, katee fetches a cup of water, and keven gives him a tissue, so he can cough up whatever was comeing out that looked white.
"How do you feel" Dr. Bennett says afyer jakub is done with his coughing attack.
He stays silent. Confused as he looks from his dad, to katee, and back.
Finally, after a few minutes pass,
"I feel.." he says, pauseing.
"I feel.. hungry" looking to Dr.Bennett.
"What do you want son? Anything you want, a meal from the café, homemade chicken and noodles, mcdonalds?" Keven inturpts.
"Jakub can have normal food, but it has to be from our menu, because the nutrients in our food will make him feel better, also a banana would help considering his potassium is low." Dr.bennett says,
"If you need anything, you can call your nurse, i will be back shotly to check on you. Glad to have you back jakub" Dr.Bennett says once more, before giving a grin and a nod to jakub before walking out the door, closing it behind him.
"Um...hi... is there a jakub hertz here?" A mid 40's woman says to the front counter.
"Yes ma'am, room 277 on the third floor, elevators are to your left." The receptionist replys.
Once she reached the third floor, she searched for 277, singing in her head,
"235"
"236"
"237"
"Ah, 277. Lets just see what happens." She thinks to herself.
She reaches for the doorknob but was disrupted when the door swings open, only to see katee and keven ready to go get some food for jakub.
"Nancy?!" Keven silently yells, closing the door behind him.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" He says agian.
"I came to see my son, i heard what happend, and i want to make things right" she says.
"You...you will NEVER be able to make things right agian! You are the one that left us! You chose your drug addiction over your own fucking son. I was the only one he had sense he was 4. And now you show up! When he was on the verge of death?! 12 years. 12 long fucking years you were gone. You need to leave. Your not alloud to see him." Keven says angrily.
"I fucked up. And i was wrong. I just want to see him agian. Im his mother and you cant stop me!" She tryes to rush past keven but was quickly grabbed by the security that the surounding nurses called moments ago.
"Bye" keven sarcastically said as the security escorted her out of the hospital.
