“Tony what the hell happened? Is Jasmine all right?”

As soon as Tony called him last night, he’d been trying to get home. Three fucking flights and ten hours later, Baron’s plane landed. All his friend could tell him was that he and Jasmine had been in a car accident and she hadn’t awakened. With each flight hop, he’d checked in with Tony. So far, the doctors couldn’t find any internal bleeding. There didn’t seem to be anything wrong with her but a blow to the head, some slight swelling from a concussion but they couldn’t wake her.

He’d rushed from the airport and had taken a cab straight to the hospital. He’d tried to call again to get an update, but the call went straight into voicemail. He sent him a text letting him know he was on his way. As soon as the taxi pulled up in front of the hospital entrance, he paid the guy, got his bag and ran in toward the information desk. They directed him to the third floor. He asked for Jasmine’s room at the nurse’s station but heard his name called and spun around.

“Baron.”

“Tony.”

They hurried toward each other. Tony’s arm was held up in a brace, and his face appeared tired and worn with shadows under his eyes. He looked behind his friend to see if he saw a familiar face. He didn’t know why or what to expect, but the fact she wasn’t there and what had happened finally got through to him. The fear snaking down his spine almost paralyzed him.

“Wh… Where’s Jasmine?”

His friend put one hand on his arm. “She’s alive, but in a coma. The doctors think she’ll come out of it. They hope to know more soon.”

“Oh, God.” He clasped Tony’s arm. Alive, she was alive.

“Come on, let me take you to her room.”

Tony turned around and went down the hall. Baron placed one foot in front of the other and followed his friend. They passed two doors and stopped at the third one that was open. The sight of his Jasmine lying on that hospital bed had him rushing forward to her side. He dropped his bag on the floor, picked up her hand and squeezed it, but there was no return pressure. Her eyes remained closed and she seemed to be asleep, but his heart seized. He couldn’t stand seeing her like this. He bent until his lips hovered above hers.

“I’m here,” he whispered, then kissed her. “Wake up my sleeping beauty. Please, God, let her wake up.”

Something nudged him at the back of his knees. He turned around. Tony had placed a chair behind him.

“Sit down, man. I was just on my way downstairs to buy a sandwich and some coffee. I’ll bring you back something.”

“Thank you.”

After Tony left, Baron turned back to Jasmine and ran his fingers over her eyelids, her cheeks, her lips. He took her hand and kissed it, then lowering it, he kept it enclosed in both of his. “I miss you. Please come back to me.
