I was released before everyone else as all I got was concussion and broken arm. Well, Danny was too released plus our security guard and bus driver. Donnie's got another week. Jon has three weeks as he's got to start wearing a back brace. I don't think he will leave if you are still here. The poor guy is beside himself. They moved him into your room yesterday after two days of Jon knowing you were here. The doctors wanted to make sure you were taken care of first. You are still in a coma and still critical. I am sitting here next to you. I am still the baby of the group even at 44; they don't tell me stuff about what is going on with you. It hurts to see you like this. They say it's good to talk to you, hoping you can hear me. All I can hear is the machines beeping keeping you alive and the whoosh of the ventilator.

"Jon is sleeping again with your mom sitting next to him. She would if she could sit between the two of you but Jon was trying to get out of the bed to get to you. So they moved his bed next to you J. I can see he still has a hold of your hand. I hope you can feel that. Please wake up. It's not the same without you".

I start to cry. I sob into your chest as I hug you. Then an alarm starts blaring. I get pushed away.

"Right get these people out. Make sure the brother is not awake" replied one of the doctors. A nurse took me and your mom outside the room. As we left, we heard.

"He's coding. Start CPR". I hold onto your mom. Donnie and Danny soon appeared.

"We heard code blue in room 723" said a worried Donnie sat in his wheelchair.

"It's Jordan" I replied "I was talking to him. And I leaned over and hugged him. It's my fault".

"Joe, it's not your fault. He is very sick. You were comforting him and letting him know you were there for him" Your mom spoke to me hugging me.

"Thank you" I replied through the tears.

After a while they left the room. We all looked up at them. One of the doctors came over to us.

"He is stable for now. We need to do a CT scan and he may need an operation to relieve the pressure on his brain" he replied "Then it's a wait and see game to see if there is any further damage to his brain. Go and get some rest as they cannot have visitors at the moment". Well you were going for a scan and Jon was asleep.

Sorry for the delay in updating the story. I have been busy writing to next few parts of the story. I will add the media later.

P.S In part 4a: where Jordan is humming to a song and then starts to sing the lyrics of the song. You can comment which song you think it was.
