Alodie opened her eyes to see a pair of brown eyes staring down at her. "AAH!" She screamed. Davey grinned and sat back down in the chair. "Good morning Alodie." "God Davey! Don't do that to me! You're going to give me a heart attack!" Alodie said, sitting up and trying to make her pulse go back to normal. "I'm sorry, baby," Davey said sincerely. "It's just that you look so adorable when you sleep." "Oh sure, watching me sleep is sooo fascinting," Alodie replied sarcastically. "I'm a mess. I'm going to go refresh myself." Alodie got up and went into the bathroom. Ten minutes later she came back showered and dressed. "That was fast," Davey said. "Especially for a girl." Alodie shrugged. "I didn't shampoo my hair." She plopped down on the bed. "So what's up Davey?" "Well that girl Jenna is right across the hall from you. Mikell stayed with her all night. Or at least that's what he told me." "He did? How sweet. I hope Jenna's doing all right." Alodie looked out the door. "I wonder when we can visit her..." A nurse came in. "Excuse me nurse? When can we go visit my friend Jenna?" The nurse looked at her. "When she awakes we'll ask her if she'd like to see you. Meanwhile, rest and try to remember the accident. If you don't remember, that means there are other side effects... in your brain, of course." The nurse checked on Alodie and went into Jenna's room to check on her.

The nurse came into Jenna's room after checking in on Alodie. Jenna was still asleep and Mikell was in the bed with her holding her. The nurse cleared her throut and awoke Mikell." Sir, sir. Please wake up. Its morning." "mmmmm.what?" answered Mikell grogerly. He sat up, rubbed his eyes, and got out of bed. " I'm sorry. I didn't mean to..., I mean, if I... she hasn't woken up yet." " I can see that. And its okay. I can understand. I wonder why she hasn't woken up yet." Mikell took a seat next to the bed and watched the nurse check on Jenna. " We are going to have to take some tests. I don't understand why she hasn't woken up yet. We'll get back to you as soon as possible. In the meantime, freshin up, eat, and we'll let you know. You won't be able to stay with her whail she's haveing tests done." " I understand." Said Mikell standing up to shake her hand. He stayed with her until the doctors came to take her away. He gave her a good-bye kiss and watched her leave. He went home, cleaned up, and bought Jenna and Alodie some flowers. He first went to Jenna's room and put them on the table were her bed used to be. He then went into Alodie's room and saw Davey sitting by Alodie's bed talking to her. Mikell cleared his throut, knocked on the door and went in. " Hey lovebirds. I brought you some flowers Alodie, I hope you like them." Mikell smiled and held out the flowers.

Alodie grinned. "Thanks Mikell." She took the flowers and put them in the vase besides Davey's flowers. "I feel so special," she said smiling. "So Mikell, how is Jenna? Is she doing good? The nurse hasn't come back to tell me whether I can go see her or not..." She looked out the window. "Damn that nurse." "What?" Davey asked, surprised. "Oh nothing. It's just that idiot nurse won't even let me see my best friend even though she's just across the hall."

" She's doing okay....for all I could tell." The smiled wiped away from hos face. He smoothed out his hair and sat on the bed besides Alodie." She's been asleep. She hasn't even moved. I'm getting worried. The nurse thinks that there is something eles wrong besides an ulser, a brused rib, and eaither food poisoning or a stomach bug." Mikell counted on his fingers every-thing that the nurse told him that was wrong. He sighed and looked across the hall. " I was there all night with her. Not even a noise." His voice was low and sad. He looked up at Alodie." I'm going to talk to the nurse. I think it would help if you visited. Your like a sister to her.you know. She mentions you alot.I'm sure she would like to hear that your doing better." He smiled and looked at Davey. " So, how long have you been here anyways?"

Alodie stood up. "That's it. I'm going to go and see her. I don't care what those nurses say." She stomped out of the room across the hall into Jenna's room. She was back from the tests. Alodie walked over to her bed and looked down at her best friend. "Jenna...." she called quietly. "You awake....?"

Jenna could hearAlodie....but didn't wake up. Mikell felt awkward...Davey hadn't answered his question. " I'm going to go and see if ummmmm.....yea." He stood up and went across the hall and stood on the other side of the bed across form Alodie. He looked down at Jenna and gave her a simpathetic look." Jenna, please....wake up." He wanted to cry. But not infront of Alodie. The nurse came in and saw Alodie." What are you doing in here? I'm afraid your not allowed." She went up to Alodie and grabed her arm to lead her out." Let go of her!" yelled Mikell as he grabed the nurses arm and forced her off of Alodie." I'm sorry. But she can't be in here. She's not allowed. And if you won't listen, I'll have to get security." " No! I'll get security. You have no right to tell me who may or may not visit her. Look, I'm on the list, and that means I can add or take people off. Give me the List.!" " I won't do that sir." replied the nurse firmly. Mikell was fed up and stormed out of the room and to the maitnece desk down the hall. " Give me the List of Jennafer Parker." The lady behind the desk gave it to him and he added Alodie and Davey's name. He turned and went back to the room and soved the List in the nurses face. " Now she can stay! And if you give me lip, I'll have you fired!" He looked across the hall at Davey and pointed to him." He's on the list too! Do you understand me?!" The nurse nodded and left the room. Mikell turned to Alodie, looked at her quickly and sat on the chair by Jenna's bed and took her hand as if nothing had happened.

Alodie stood there, her mouth gaping open. She collapsed into a chair weakly. "Boy, Mikell, you sure do have your temper tantrums." Davey walked in and sat down besides Alodie. "Don't worry. She'll be alright." He held her hand and they waited for Jenna to wake up. "Oh god, I hope she wakes up," Alodie said, her brain spinning. She looked at Jenna. "Why are there two Jenna's?" She asked groggily. She clutched Davey's arm tightly. "Who are you..." she said sleepily. A minute later she was out cold on his shoulder. Davey laid his jacket over her. "This must be the side effects the docter was talking about. Have a nice rest, Alodie."

Mikell's eye fluttered as he thought about what he did. " I don't always get like that, I've just been very stressed. nobody to tkae it out on you know?" Nobody answered him. He looked up from Jenna and saw Alodie sleeping. He missed every-thing that had happened. He heard Davey, say what he said. "What side effects? Wats wrong with her?"

Davey started to say "You know...". Then he remembered that he hadn't told Mikell yet. "They found out she had a concussion... she can still remember things. It's not amnesia really... but she can't remember the incident. The docter says that until she remembers the accident, she's going to have memory lapses and mood swings and things like that." Alodie woke up all of a sudden, and as if confirming what Davey had just said, she glared at him. "What are you doing here?" Davey stared at her, perplexed. "Hold on," he had to go in the bathroom suddenly. Alodie shouted after him, "hey! you didn't answer my question!" A minute later Davey walked out and said, "I said to hold on! It was an emergency bathroom break!" Alodie looked at him, tilting her head slightly. She nodded and walked away slowly back to her own room. Davey stared after her, a bit annoyed. He then remembered what he'd just said. "Oh!" He ran over to Alodie's room. "I'm sorry." He said. She just looked at him, not really sure what to say to that. "I'm sorry," he repeated. Alodie looked at him. "You have mood swings," she said simply. And she turned on her heel and walked into the bathroom, locking herself inside.

Mikell cocked his head. It took him a whail to catch on. He watched Davey and Alodie for a little whial until his veiw was blocked by the docter that had came to take Jenna away for test before,was in the door way. " I have the results. " Mikell nodded and called Davey and Alodie in. When they were all together, the docter told them wat was wrong. He was occompnied by a 'shrink' The docter began. " We have given her medication for the pain and the food poisoning. But we can't wake her up." Mikell interupted. " What the hell do you mean you can't wake her up?" The docterwaved for the 'shrink' to come up and talk." This is Dr. kako. Our floor shrink. He has the answer on this matter." He steped back and the shrink steped up. " Yes. Well, we did tests and they came back for the best. For the most part. We found out that she can hear you. She is aware of her surondings, but....." Mikell repeated the docter." But....." " But" - the docter continued -" she dosn't want to wake up. She waiting. Maybe for someone or something to come. She's just not ready. I think every one of you guys should spend some time with her. Let her know that she dosn't have to be afraid. That your here. Try to get her family. Maybe somebody that she has been trying to reach out to, to visit. This is all we can do....its up to her really. We can give her stimulants to calm her down. Maybe it will be easier for her to let you in. But even if she wakes up. There is no telling how she will react. So be ready. Talk over the stimualnts, and let me know." Mikell nodded firmly. When the docter left, he turned to Davey and Alodie. " What do you guys think?"

Alodie stared at Mikell. "Can I go lock myself in the bathroom now?" She stood to get up. Davey held onto her arm. "Wait, what about Jenna?" Alodie looked at him for a moment, and a look of realization came into her eyes. She forgot all about her mood swings. "I think..." she started to say hesitantly. "I don't see why that girl does not want to wake up! I mean, her life was just perfect before that. She had Mikell... I was getting better... we were all dandy. So I think the doctor is talking bull. She was happy when all that happened. She has no reason to want to stay unconcious! I mean, she can hear us! What the heck would she be waiting for!" Alodie walked back to her room, having had her say. Davey watched her go. "I think she is now taking out her anger on Jenna... I think she's mad at Jenna for not waking up."

Mikell was confused. He took in what Alodie said. It didn't make any sense. He looked at Jenna and suddenly became angry. He went in to Alodie's room. " Alodie, I understand what your saying. I don't get it eaither. But its all we got to go on right now. Her parents havn't once, not once called or visited since she was admitted.!It could make sense." Mikell's voice was louder then normal, he wanted to get his point across. He lowered his voice as he remembered that she too was in the hospital for a reason. He became simpathetic and his face softened." Alodie, I can't do this all by my self. I need your and Daveys help. Maybe we can help each other. If I can help you with your memory lapses, maybe you can help me to wake Jenna up. This way its one less thing." He wasn't sure what could happen. He wanted her to say, -okay mikell. I'm sorry- But her memory couldv'e shot in the middle of him talking, he was almost scared of the way she will react. He silently waited for her to reply.

Alodie looked at him, confused. "What?" Davey shook his head. "Oh Alodie..." Her face brightened. "Oh I remember now." Her face darkened once more. "I still don't think Jenna shou;d be unconcious. If it's possible for her to wake up, then why doesn't she? We've tried supporting her. It's not working. As for the parent thing, who cares? Her mom was caring enough for her brother. So was her dad. They were both loving parents. I think they have visited her, but you just fell asleep. So that's where you're wrong. And what else could there be, huh? You've already been there for her. She should want to wake up now. Or maybe she doesn't love you." "Alodie! That was out of line!" Alodie glared at Davey. "So what if it was? It's true, isn't it? We've already tried to help her. We couldn't. What's done is done. I'll see you later Mikell." She pushed him out of the room and sat down on her bed. "My mind on the matter is set." She told Davey.

Mikell had always had a soft spot for Alodie. Maybe it was because of the way she was always herself, whail every-body around her were possers. But what she said, hit him hard. He opened his mouth to say something. But, couldn't. He went into Jenna's room,shut the door behind him and cryed. " Why won't you wake up? This is crazy...I've been here the whole time and you haven't even moved. Maybe Alodie is right, maybe..." He couldn't bear to say it. His voice craked and he had to stop.He had his face in his hands and he sat there for at least 2 hours. It was 7:00 and nobody had come. Mikell couldn't take it anymore. " I'm sorry Jenna but i have to go. I'll see you later okay?" He leaned over and kissed her forehead, went over to his chair, and took his coat. Opening the door he took one last look at Jenna,"I'm sorry." With that, he left, closing the door and headed down the hallway.

Alodie and Davey spent the next two hours watching t.v. Alodie would have her little memory lapses where she would wonder why Davey was laughing so hard or why she had been laughing so hard, but other than that, she seemed fine. Finally, Davey heard footsteps pass by and he knew they were Mikell's. He looked at his watch. "Well, I guess I'd better go then." He gave Alodie a quick hug and left. Alodie smiled, watching him leave. As the door closed, the familiar feeling of loneliness enveloped her. She couldn't stand being alone. It was so depressing. Slowly she got up, wrapping her sweater around her. She felt cold, ever so cold. Alodie walked across the hall to Jenna's room, her footsteps echoing in the silent halls. She knocked, not expecting any answer. After waiting patiently for two minutes, she walked in. Her eyes watered as she walked closer to her best friend. "Why won't you wake up?" She whispered. "Why?" Remembering all that'd she said to Mikell, in her anger at Jenna for not waking up, the tears started to fall. She sat on the bed besides Jenna, not looking at her, but instead looking at the floor. "What is it you're waiting for Jenna? All those that you've loved have been here. Everyone cares for you. Why is you won't wake up. Why Jenna, why?" Her voice broke on the last word. She couldn't stand it. A single tears rolled down her cheek and fell onto Jenna's bed, unchecked. She moved to the foot of Jenna's bed, still facing away from her. Alodie hugged her knees and cried, every once in a while whispering between her sobs, "Why won't you wake up!"
