It's now been a month, and Loren still wasn't awake yet. Melissa and Eddie were discharged and allowed to go back home. Eddie refused to go without Loren. He slept in Loren's room with her. He couldn't go one day without her. One day when Eddie was sleeping next to Loren, Nora woke him up for some important news.

Nora: *shaking Eddie* Hey Eddie. The doctor wants to talk to us

Eddie: Why? Is it about Loren's condition?

Nora: I don't know. All he said was that he needed to talk to us

Eddie: Ok

Eddie got up slowly, and kissed Loren on the forehead. He thought that if he acted like she was just asleep, it would help her out of her coma. Eddie and Nora walked out into the hallway. The doctor was waiting for them

Eddie: You wanted to talk to us Dr. Chance?

Dr. Chance: Yes. I need to talk to you about Loren's condition.

Eddie: She's getting better?

Nora looks at Eddie and then looks at Dr. Chance with hope in her eyes

Dr. Chance: Actually, it's the complete opposite from that. I'm sorry, but Loren's condition isn't getting any better. It's getting worse. I'm sorry, but I've waited long enough. Loren's brain dead. She's not responding to anything, and she her breathing is getting worse, even with the ventilator. It's completely breathing for her. Now I understand how difficult this can be, but I need to discuss whether or not you want to take her off Life Support, or keep her on it. Now, if you choose to..

Dr. Chance's voice faded out. Eddie couldn't hear a word he was saying. All he did was look at Loren and start to cry. She couldn't be dead. She just couldn't. After all she's been through, this of all things kill her? Not a chance. She just started to get everything back together in her life. Without even considering anything, Eddie interrupted Dr. Chance
