Ch. 1

"Hey Sean, can you come here for a second" Signe called while looking at the TV. It's never really used, but today was one of those days it was on. Shaking his head slightly from a bad feeling in his gut, he strides over to Signe in the next room. Laying a gentle hand on her shoulder, he answers, "Yeah?" His usual smile fades as he pays attention to what she was looking at. On TV its talking about a house fire. This hurt his heart. Hoping the people were alive. '-a raging house fire..... in Athlo...is underway...done everything we can.....no survivors....'. Both Jack and Signe gasp out loud, she starts tearing up and holds back a muffled cry. Signe heard everything clearly, but Jack's hearing was fading in and out and the ringing in his ears was increasing. He stands in shock for a second, holding the TV remote with a trembling hand, trying to register what he was hearing and reading. There on screen, was a helicopter view of his parents' house, and his old cabin where his brother lives.

       He acan't move, no matter how much he wants to, and Signe was crying into his shoulder, and now is trying to phone the police at the cabins. "Sean?...Sean!...." He tries to answer and move, but when he does his vision swirls and he falls down, the ringing in his ears intensifies. His thoughts racing with many things. He sees Signe shaking him and calling his name, but he can't respond.
Darkness envelops him.

Four days later

Distant wheel slowly squeaking....

'Mind waking up greenie?  You might want to wake up...wake...up~'

     Waking up with a half scream, Jack throws his pillow at nothingin particular. It hits the corner of a door, slightly opened. Taking muted deep breathes, he looks around in the dark. 'Sigh, just a dream..only a dream...fire...my..my family....' his eyes widen with the horror of this and runs a hand through his hair. 'Where's Signe...' , looking around for her. She isn't here. Getting up too quickly, his head feels heavy and he plops back down on his bed. Trying again slowly, Jack grabs his phone and turns the flashlight on, getting his bearings. "What the hell.....'why am I in a h-..hospital...' once this thought crosses his mind, a piercing pain shoots through his head, he doubles over holding his head and let out a strained grunt. The pain subsides. Picking up his dropped phone, he goes over to the door and opens it wider, peering out into the hallway.  The walls are not the palest brown and green it could be, and the floor is blue and white striped, and looks like someone spilled oil on every inch of it.

     It's pretty quiet except for the distant wheel squeaking and footsteps. A nurse comes into view and spots him, giving him a small, sad smile. Opening his mouth to ask her the many questions whirling around in his head, he holds a hand to his throat once he realizes he can't speak. Jack then starts panicking, unable to speak, he can only make small whimpers. Trembling he looks at the nurse, which had come rushing to him and hugged him, trying to calm him down. Once Sean silently freaking out, she pulls away and explains what has happened. "Sean, we got a call from your girlfriend- Signe, that you had fainted after receiving news" The nurse paused, she looked like she didn't want to explain further. " The ambulance came and Signe was crying but was by your side trying to wake you up. When you arrived...you opened your eyes and we tried to get you to talk, but instead, you started trembling violently and trying to get out. You never said a word. Once you were at the exit, you held your head and fainted again. You have been asleep for 3 days since then. Don't worry, Signe is  in the waiting room, I will call her in if you like". Jack nods his head urgently. Turning away, the nurse heads down the hallway. He goes back to his bed, flicking the light switch on the way there, and lays down.
Sigh
......sigh
'Come on already...please...'

     The door opens and a smile spreads on his face, and same on Signe's  too as their eyes meet. Embracing each other, Signe laughs and kisses Jack. Pulling back,but not letting go of him, she smiles again. "I'm so happy to see you..." she pauses and really looks into his eyes. They are definitely several shades darker than usual..and full of so much pain and sadness. His smile slips and he lays his head on her shoulder, a shudder running through him. Signe holds him and rocks side to side, remembering that he can't talk. Closing her eyes, she rests her chin on top of his head and holds him a little tighter. "I tried to do anything and everything to wake you up. I was so worried...sigh I'm just so happy you are here...I didn't leave you at all, other than for food." She pauses and kisses his forehead. " so many people were asking about you within the first few hours of you not uploading a video, and I wanted to tell them so badly, but I wasn't sure what to say, wether you would be okay or.." Jack nods and shifts his head a little. She continues. " people caught on very quickly from some people who saw the same news story.

     From then on, the video spread like....it spread very quickly on twitter. Soon tweets came pouring in of worry and panic, and a lot were aimed at me too. After awhile I had to say something. I told everyone in a quick video that you weren't able to make videos for awhile. The majority didn't care if you made videos, or not, they cared for your well being." Sean smiles then it fades as tears start to run down his face.
"There was so much sadness coming from everyone, from the majority who saw the news and my video. And there are still so many tweets, I had to mute my phone." She pauses again. " I have kept them updated everyday, not going into too much detail. I have a feeling my updates are making everyone even more sad..but it would be worse if I don't tell them. They love you so much" she whispers. "I love you." With that she rubs his back softly. "I haven't told them you can't talk yet...I wasn't sure if you absolutely couldn't until now.." her voice trails off and tears up a bit. Sean lifts his head, resting a hand on her shoulder and nods. "You want them to know?" Her teary eyes widen slightly. He nods a little more and gestures towards his phone, and back at himself. Signe breathes in and give him a small smile, he returns with a reassuring gentle squeeze on her knee. Looking up back at the phone, he opens twitter and pauses, looking at the video icon. Hearing a subtle sharp intake of breath from Signe, he lifts the phone facing him, and presses play.
