Chapter 5
Min had managed to pick herself up from the chair and come
back outside to allow others to visit A.j. even though she didn't
even want to leave his side.
"Hey," Nick said seeing her exit the room.
"Hey guys," she said softly as she went to sit down.
"Are you okay?" Nicki asked softly.
"No," Min said before the tears started to fall again. She
didn't know if she could take much more of this, she just wanted
A.j. to open his eyes
and come back.
She dropped her head into her hands.
Brian sat down next to her wrapping is arm around," Hey," he
said softly," He will be just fine."
"How do you know?" came a muffled response.
"Because Aj is never down for long," Brian said," besides
its not his style," he said hoping to cheer up his friend a little
bit.
" I don't know."
"Do you want me to take you home?" Brian asked gently.
"No I'm staying right here."
"Min, tht's not practical," Brian said gently," you need to
get some rest."
Min lifted her head," I'm not going, I don't care. He needs
me right now," she said.
Brian sighed, what was he going to do with her?
( Three Months Later)
Summer had come and gone, and A.j. was still in a coma. Min
had been at the hospital all summer long, only going home briefly to
change and shower, she said she ate, but
sometimes she wouldn't.
Most often if she did eat it was a bite of something nothing stable
really.
All of her friends had gotten acceptance letters to colleges, Min
had left hers unopened. While everyone was shopping for college
stuff and all excited about it, she was not. She had
differed her first semester of college for the moment, even though
it had pissed off her parents mostly her dad. It felt wrong to her
to be going off to college when A.j. had lain in a coma
for the past three months.
She was sitting next to his bed today holding his hand,"
You're the reason.Why I found a way,.And you're the reason.Why I
feel this way
And you're the reason.Why I have to say,I had to let you know.You're
my everything," she sang.
Nick and Nicki held hands as they walked into the hospital
they were coming to check on Min and try and talk her into going
ahead with her college plans,
Min's dad had asked Nicki to try and talk to her.
As they neared Aj's room they heard singing.
"So many times I've been alone,.I didn't know what to do.I
don't know where I'd be.If I didn't have, didn't have you
You comfort me.Made me believe.Give me the strength I need.Since you
came into my life.It's been so heavenly, heavenly."
Nick and Nicki stopped in front of Aj's door sticking their
heads in," When did she learn how to sing?" Nick asked quietly so
only Nicki could hear him.
"Beats me," Nicki said surprised.
"You're the reason.Why I found a way,.And you're the
reason.Why I feel this way.And you're the reason
Why I have to say,.I had to let you know.You're my everything
So many things I wanna say to you.I'd give my heart to you.Just
because you came around.And gave me all your.All your love.
I would sacrifice my very life,.All you have to do is.Say the word
(say the word).And there would be no other,
No other, no other, no other."
