The Jonas Story

*Recap* Ariel and Nick were home alone and they decided to go on a walk and Ariel got cut and went to the hospital. *End of Recap*
Nick's *P.O.V*
When the doctor came out, we all froze and waited to see what he had to say. The look on his face didn't exactly comfort us.
"Ok gentlemen," the doctor started, "whatever cut Ariel was not exactly clean. (me: laduh it was in a walk through the woods!) The cut got infected but, it didn't get as bad as it woujld have because you," he looked at me, "cleaned and wrapped it. If you hadn't we might have lost her from the type of infection." (i dont no what type of infection. use your imagination.) We all sighed from relief and relaxed a little. "Although," he continued, 'Uh oh. I dont like where this is going,' I thought, "the infection is still bad."
"How bad?" Kevin said. I couldn't utter a word. My throat was dry. The doctor took a deep breath. 'Just say it!' I thought impatiently. I wanted to know what happened to my girlfriend.
"You may see her but, she is in a coma." (hehe still dramatic) He finished. Our eyes got wide. My blood ran cold. He lead the way to her room. I saw Ariel on the bed. Her eyes were closed, she had a patch on the other side of her elbow where you draw blood from, and a wire attached to it with liquid going through it. I dashed to her side and sat on the chair. I swallowed the lump in my throat and reached for her hand. I slowly took it in mine and squeezed it. Joe was sitting on a chairby the bottom of the bed and Kevin was sitting on a chair across from me in the corner. I rested my head on the side of the bed and closed my eyes but a couple of tears fell anyway.Joe and Kevin's eyes were red. 'Please wake up. Please wake up.' I chanted in my head.
Joe's *P.O.V*
Nick had his head on the side of Ariel's bed. I couldn't believe that just this morning Ariel was sleeping peacefully in her own bed and now she was in a coma in a hospital bedjust a few hours later. 'This can't be happening.' I thought. 'It's not fair that all this has to happen to her and all at once. She and Nick just got together, she just found her real mom and now she has to get cut and go into a coma?! If she wasn't as strong as she was, she would never make it. She will come out of this. I know it. But when?' My thoughts were interupted by my cellphone ringing. It was loud but Nick didn't look up but I knew he wasn't asleep because he was rubbing her hand. I felt a pang of jealousy but I got over it and went outside of the hospital to answer my phone. It was my mom. She was really worried about Ariel. I guess the doctors called her.
*Conversation*
Mom: Hi Joe! Oh my goodness, I heard about Ariel. Are you and Kevin and Nick ok?
Joe: We are fine. We are worried sick but we are getting through it just like she is. Nick's taking it pretty hard though.
Mom: Oh yeah, I bet he is. He has liked her for a while now.
Joe: Yeah, they are dating now and I don't think that he will leave her side until she comes out of this.
Mom: I think he will stay there too. Also I'm sorry Joe.
Joe: For what?
Mom: I know that you have liked Ariel for a while now too.
Joe: What? How? Was it that obvious?
Mom: No, not obvious but I'm a mother Joe. I can tell.
Joe: Ok.
Mom: Well we are coming home now so we will see you soon. Bye.
Joe: Bye Mommy. Love you.
Mom: Love you too.

I walked back in the hospital and went to Ariel's room. I sat down where I was earlier. I looked around. I didn't see Kevin.
"Where's Kevin?" I asked Nick. His head was off of the bed. Now he was gazing sadly at Ariel, still rubbing her hand.
"He said he needed some air." Nick answered still not taking his eyes off of Ariel. I felt another pang of jealousy looking at Nick rubbing her hand. I gazed at their hands wishing it was me holding and rubbing her hand. Just then her hand tighened around Nick's hand. Nick had his head back on her bed but when he felt this his head shot up. He smiled a little. Something told me that Ariel knew it was Nick and I was positive that Nick knew that.
"Ariel?" He asked quietly. No reply. His smile faded. He gripped her hand a little tighter but not to the point where it would hurt and he made sure of that. His eyes got red and started to water. Even though he was keeping back tears, there was a flicker of hope in his eyes because he knew that she was fighting inside.
