Days rolled into weeks and weeks rolled into nearly a month.
I was slowly losing hope, yet still so desperately praying he'd open his eyes. Logan and I had swapped with Pam and Greg, Logan passed me the blanket and pillow. We were in a solid routine, Logan and I were here 8am-8pm. Pam and Greg stayed overnight- 8pm-8am Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Then Thursday, Friday & Saturday we swapped hours. Sunday's, Team Ten members spent the day with Jake. It gave everyone fair time- still getting decent sleep.
Today was a Wednesday- it was 8:30am and the Doctors had done their rounds. Jake was dosed up and comfortable. He was still in a coma. Logan and I sat each side of him- under a blanket with the door closed. We started watching a film. I looked at Jake as we watched Fast and Furious 5- one of his favourite films. And that he shouldn't be here, this shouldn't be him. "I'm sorry Jakey." I said kissing his forehead. Logan paused the laptop and looked over at me. "He will wake up. I know he will." Logan said reassuringly. He reached over and held my other hand. "I can't believe this is happening." I sighed. The machines suddenly fell silent. I ran outside and grabbed a Nurse. A whole resuscitation team came in and I watched as they gave CPR. I was bawling as Logan carried me to the waiting room. "He, He can't die." I screamed.
It was now a waiting game. No one knew whether or not Jake would wake up or die.
It was the most painful thing I'd ever experienced, when he eventually woke up. His brain damage was extensive due to a bleed on his brain. He had an operation and a few weeks down the line, we had made reasonable progress. We'd shown him his vlogs which helped him gain lots of his memory back. He said he knew who I was, he knew we were engaged, but he couldn't remember anything about our relationship. It was devastating.
"I'm trying really hard. I just can't." He said tearing up. "I just know I've known you forever and that I love you." He said. I kissed his forehead. "I know. I love you too." I showed him our engagement video and he started to remember that day. "It's hazy, but I can remember some of it." He said quietly. "Hey you've made so much progress. You were in a coma for a month and a half and had a really serious brain bleed. I don't care whether you remember or not, I'm glad your alive." I said stroking his cheek. Pam and Greg came to see him and I went outside the front of the hospital with Logan. Luckily, paps stopped crowding after Jake made a video. Totally his choice, there were a handful of fans each day, waiting to give us gifts. But, it was late and rainy, so today there wasn't anybody there.
Logan looked at me as we sat down on the bench. I just started sobbing. "I know it's selfish, but Jake and I have had so many incredible memories. What if he's saying he loves me, because he feels bad that he doesn't remember?" I cried. Logan wrapped his arms around me and cuddled me tightly. "I know Jake. You know Jake. And Jake loves you and always has. It took him a while to remember everything else, all of us. Give it time and maybe, slowly his memory will come back." He said, wiping my eyes. I rested my head on his shoulder as I looked down to the ring on my finger. "I just wish I could rewind to that day and stop him getting in the car." I snivelled. He held my hand and kissed the top of my head. "We all do. But, he's Jake. He pulled through even after a heart attack. He's incredibly brave and strong."
We went back inside and Pam asked to speak to me for a second. "We just spoke to Jake and the Doctor they think he stands a pretty high chance of gaining long term memory back if we keep showing him pictures and videos." She said. I wiped my eyes and she pushed my hair behind my ears, she kissed my forehead. "We have to persevere." She smiled. I smiled back and nodded. I went in with Jake on my own. He was sleepy, so I just sat and stroked his hair. "I'm not saying I love you, because I feel bad." He yawned, his big, tired eyes looking up at me. "I'm saying it, because I know it's true, because I can remember some bits. I'm doing all my exercises to help me remember." He said tearfully. I kissed him softly on the lips. "You have been so strong Jake." I said. He smiled as his eyes closed and he gently snored.
