"Oh my god, Justin!" Alissa screeched, her eyes wide in anticipated excitement and pure joy.

The rest of Justin's family were crying and hugging each other.

The doctor was smiling slightly and checking Justin's vitals with a blonde-haired nurse.

"Justin," The doctor said enunciated, making sure he could understand him. "Do you know where you are?"

Justin blinked a few times, eyes focusing on the fluorescent light above. He nodded weakly.

"Hospital." He rasped, clearing his throat.

The nurse helped him sip a glass of water in which he accepted with gratitude.

"Justin, you have been in a coma for over a month. Do you understand?"

Justin nodded weakly.

"Okay, good." He nodded at Justin and got up, a very grim look fitting his features.

He walked to Justin's mom and beckoned Alissa to come over.

"Pattie, Alissa... I have some bad news for you. Justin's survival rate is very low..." He trailed off, giving us time to absorb the news he had put upon us.

Pattie nodded, tears already forming.

Alissa wrapped a supportive arm around Patties tiny frame.

She knew this was coming. She predicted that Justin wasn't likely to survive.

It broke her heart.

But hearing the news broke her heart all over again.
