10

Mark and I sat in the hospital waiting room for hours on end, waiting for literally anything about Jennie.

The clock struck 3pm. We had been in the hospital since around 8pm last night.

I looked over to my right to see Mark passed out like a baby. A slight smile curved on my lips but, it didn't stay long.

Sighing as I watched the clock move, time felt slow today out of every other day this week.

Feeling my eyes about to shut they immediately opened wide as I saw the doctor coming towards us.

I jumped to my feet awaking Mark.

"Anything doctor?" I asked sounding frantic.

"Jennie will be okay for now-" He was saying but, Mark cut him off.

"For now? What do you mean?" He asked.

"Jennie is in a tight condition. Her health was very unstable for who knows how long and with this coma now...." His sentence trailed as if he had to think for a minute before continuing.

"What about it?" I asked.

"If she awakes from this coma it won't be good. There's not much we can do to help her when she's like this so there's some things that might go wrong"

"Go wrong?" Mark repeated.

"Yes. There could be a chance she could get terribly ill after awaking or other things I can't confirm quite yet. All I can say is that we can't do anything to exactly save her when she wakes up"

The room fell silent.

All that could be heard was a ticking of a clock on the wall.

This was it. The news I had been waiting for but, just not like this. I wasn't sure how to react as I was still confused and exhausted.

I wish everything would just go back to normal and I can finally tell Jennie what I've been wanting to tell her.
