The Next Week...
~~~

I was at a hotel close to the hospital in Gävle, doing nothing, when I got a phone call.

"Are you Mr. Joey Larsson", asked the other person.
"Yes, I am."
"You need to come to the hospital right now." I froze.

"Why? What's going on?"
"It's about your wife, Nicole", the other person said.
"I'll be there soon", I said. The phone line went dead. I had to get to the hospital now.
~~~
At the hospital, I walked to the second floor, which is where Ashli was. A doctor stopped me.

"Mr. Larsson, your wife is in the Intensive Care Unit."
"Why?"
"Her heart stopped beating a few minutes ago. Right now, the doctors are trying to restart her heart", the doctor, Dr. Jackson, said. My heart fell from my chest down to my feet. Was Ashli going to live?

"O-o-okay", I managed.
"You can wait out here until I get any news on Nicole."
"Thank you, Doctor." Dr. Jackson nodded and walked away. I sat down and began to process what I'd just been told. Ashli could die. What if she didn't live? What if she died? A million thoughts ran through my mind at once. No. Ashli will live, I forced myself to think. A few minutes passed, and then a nurse came out to where I was.

"Mr. Larsson, you may see your wife now."
"Thank you", I said, standing up. I walked into Ashli's room. A nurse, Leah, was in there. She inserted a needle into Ashli's arm. A clear liquid started flowing into her arm. Leah turned around.

"Good morning, Mr. Larsson."
"Hey. Is Nicole okay?"
"Yes, she is", Leah said.
"Thank you", I said. Leah nodded and walked out of the room. I reached out and held Ashli's hand. I didn't want this to be the last time that I ever got to touch her. At any moment, Ashli could die. I didn't think about that. I noticed flowers in the window along with a note.

Get well soon!
Love, Adam & Zach

Zach and Adam had been here. Their emotions probably matched mine; sadness - Ashli was in a coma, anger - Daniel hurt Ashli, and fear - The fear that Ashli wouldn't live. But I couldn't just think that Ashli would die. No, I had to think that she would live. But somehow, no matter how much I wanted to believe that she would live, I thought that Ashli would die.
