Jerika (Forever and Always)

Their's still hope

The ambulance got to the house as soon as they could and rushed Jake down to the hospital.

Alissa and Logan were arrested for gun violence, and were taken away by the cops. At least they won't be around to bug us like this anymore.

I told all of Team 10 to get in our van and follow the ambulance.

In the hospital I saw Jake, still unconscious, breathing heavily, his heart rate beating.

He looked pitiful. I wanted him to wake up so I could talk to him, hug him, kiss him, tell him everything was gonna be ok, but what if I never got to..

Jakes mom and dad both came down to see Jake as well. The nurse ran in.

"If Jake survives, he will be required to wear these oxygen tanks for 2 weeks after out of the hospital. This will help him breathe well again."

"When do you think he will wake up if he ever does?"

"He should by tommorow, the nurse said. If not, the latest would be a few days,"

"Ok, I reply. Thank you so much for helping. Like really, this means so much to me and my friends."

The nurse smiles and pats my shoulder, then runs out of the room quickly, catching up to other patients.

Then it was getting late that night. Everyone decided to go back and get some rest, but me. I stayed the night watching Jake, praying, crying, speaking to the nurses and the doctor, being not many updates.

*The Next Day*

That next day I woke up excited thinking Jake would wake up, but he didn't.

I got scared, and panicked, but the nurses calmed me down, telling me it would be alright.

I spent all my time in the hospital, not eating or drinking, I was too worried, and my mind was focused on Jake.

Finally the next day, Jake woke up. All I could do was just hug him and tell him everything was gonna be ok.

"If you were a dude, I would still date you." Jake joker.

I smiled and hugged him again.

"If you were a dude-"

"STOP IT!"

"Okay okay. But it's true."

"If you were a girl-"

"I know."

We laugh the night away with that being said.

Jakes pov:

I'm so lucky I have her.
