Chapter Forty-six

When Aaron opened his eyes a strange feeling came over him and his heart began to race. His head was throbbing and someone kept saying his name over and over again. �What is that?�

As he looked to the bed Jess was gone. �Jess!� He jumped up and began to run towards the voice calling to him.

�Aaron! Aaron!� as he ran the voice grew louder and louder.

�Jess where are you?� Aaron screamed running through the eerily silent hospital, his footsteps echoing down the corridor.

After what seemed forever he reached the end of the hall, and a door. The voice was louder now and coming from the other side of the door. Aaron slowly opened the heavy gray door and found himself in the hospital�s morgue. �OH MY GOD!� He began to frantically pull open all the drawers. �Jess! You can�t die! NO!� He had gotten every drawer open but the one and it wouldn�t budge.

Aaron fell to the ground screaming and crying until a nurse frantically shook him awake. �Mr. Carter, wake up!�

�What? Where am I? Where�s Jess?�

�She�s right here Mr. Carter, please... you need to calm down. It was only a dream. Do you need some water or something?�

�No not right now. I�m sorry to have scared you.�

�It�s okay. If you need anything just call.�

�I will,� Aaron turned to Jess as the nurse left the room. �I Wish you were awake. I miss you Jessie.� He gently kissed her forehead.

After a few minutes he stood up, �I�m going to go get a glass of water. I�ll be right back.� As he walked along the edge of the bed he let his hand linger on her arm. Just before he could walk away he felt something grab his hand.

�Aaron, don�t leave.�
