DREW'S POV

Heath: Have you seen the People magazine article about Kate?

Me: No, why?

Heath: *link to article* Saying that she's having an affair with Joe. How is she doing? More importantly, how are you holding up bro?

Me: Meh, y'know. I just wish she would wake up. This whole thing with Joe is hard to explain.

Heath: Good job me and Jinder are on our way to spend a few days with you then. No arguments bro. You need a little break.

Me: Dude, I have no idea what the fuck is going on. I just want her to wake up. The doc was on about turning off life support if there is no improvement soon.

Heath: We'll be there in an hour. I'll bring caffeine.

Me: Cheers dude. See ya soon.

I put my cell phone on the nightstand and looked around the sterile room, anywhere that wasn't my wife lay prone in the middle of the bed. All I wanted was for Katelyn to wake up. I needed my wife back and, more importantly, AJ needed his mummy back. I was annoyed with Joe for acting like a child who couldn't get his own way, but everything was annoying the shit out of me.

The doctor knocked and came into the room with a young nurse, Farra, who had been looking after Katelyn. She must've only been 20-21, but kind of hot. I had picked up on some subtle little hints over the past week, like how she would stare at me when she thought I wasn't looking or how she would stop to bend over just as she was walking out of the dootlr. This bitch wanted me and for the first time, I was actually considering cheating on Katelyn.

'Good afternoon, Mr Galloway,' the doctor smiled. I gave him a slight nod. 'We're going to take Katelyn down for another MRI scan and try to wake her, so we can assess if there is any lasting brain damage. I've asked young Farra here to you get the room ready for when Katelyn comes back. You have a bag of her favourite things, don't you?'

'Yeah, it's over on the couch. Just a few photos and her favourite sweater.'

'That's great, hopefully that will help jog her memory. Now, I'm going to be conducting the scan myself and it will take at least 2 hours, depending on how Katelyn responds to being woken up. I suggest you go and grab some lunch, maybe take a walk. The religion centre is open for prayer.'

'Thanks doc.' I kissed Katelyn on the forehead and tried my hardest not to cry. 'I love you baby. I'll see you soon.' I watched as porters came in and wheeled Katelyn out of the room, leaving me alone with Farra.

'So, I guess you're stuck with me for a while,' Farra said, a smirk on her face. 'What are we gonna do?' The young nurse closed the blinds and locked the door before turning to me, biting her lip.

KATELYN'S POV

Everything was black and I couldn't open my eyes. No matter how much I tried, I could not open my eyes. Nor could I move my arms or my legs. I couldn't talk either. I didn't want to. I was done fighting. This was it for me, I was stuck in this black void, seemingly in limbo between life and death.

In the distance I kept hearing a man's voice, but I didn't know if that voice was talking to me or if it was talking to somebody else. It kept pleading for somebody named Katelyn to wake up. What was strange was that the voice didn't sound familiar to me. It wasn't a voice that I knew. I felt sorry for this man. Whoever this Katelyn person was, he must love them very much. I envied her because I had only ever known a love like that once before. My ex fiancé, Andrew. There were days when I missed him, but then I remember that he was the reason why I had trust issues. He left me because he was sleeping with someone he worked with. At least he was honest, I guess.

There was that big clanking noise again, whirring around my head. I wanted to scream out and make it stop, but I couldn't even open my mouth. Instead, I just lay there with this noise driving me insane.

I must have fallen into some sort of trance because the next thing I remembered was feeling some liquid shoot into my veins and my eyes fluttered open. I searched in the darkness of the room to find anything that seemed familiar. My eyes settled on a lone figure sat on the chair next to me.

'Andrew?' I whispered hoarsely. His head shot up, eyes wide.

'Oh, thank goodness,' he sighed. I watched as Andrew stood up and reached behind me to press a button on the wall. He pulled his chair closer to me and sat back down, taking my hand.

'What are you doing here?' I asked him. My voice was so hoarse and my throat was sore. 'Can I have a drink of water?' Andrew poured some water into the plastic beaker and handed it to me. A male doctor walked into the room and smiled.

'Welcome back, Mrs Galloway. You gave us all quite a fright,' the doctor said. I was so confused. Mrs Galloway? Did Andrew and I get married? When? What happened to me and why was I heretic? The doctor seemed to read my thoughts. 'You had a car accident 12 days ago, we had to put you into a drug induced coma to give your body time to heal. Your husband hasn't left the hospital since you got brought in.'

'I don't have a husband,' I croaked.

DREW'S POV

I was sat in the hospital cafeteria, Katelyn had gone for some tests, nursing a mug of black coffee when Joe walked into the cafe, stormed over to where I was sitting and punched me straight in the face. I fell back in my chair.

'What the fuck was that for, you crazy bastard?' I shouted at him. I heard one of the nurses shouting for security.

'You know exactly what that was for,' Joe replied.

'No, I don't. What the hell is going on?'

'Maybe you should read the local newspaper once in a while.' The security guard came running in and I shook my head at him. 'I'm leaving. And you had best hope that Katelyn doesn't wake up soon because I will tell her.' Joe turned to walk away.

'Kate's already awake. She woke up yesterday.' Joe lunged for me again, the security guard was hopeless at restraining him, and reigned punches on me.

'You absolute bastard,' Joe yelled as he continued to beat me down. I saw Heath and Jinder walking into the cafeteria, they both ran straight over to us and restrained Joe. 'You can't handle the fact that I make her happy, can you? Is that why you were fucking a 20 year old whilst your wife is lay in a coma?' I got up and slumped back into my seat, coffee dripping onto the floor. Joe struggled from Heath's grip and sat in the seat opposite, glaring at me with such intensity. 'Why Drew? Why say you were okay with me and Kate if you weren't?'

'I was, I am okay with it.' I sighed heavily. 'It was all the medical talk about Katelyn not pulling through and it really got to me. I needed some sort of release before I self-combusted.'

'So you decide to fuck the nurse who's looking after your wife? That is messed up.'

'Like you're one to speak about indiscretions,' I snapped at him. 'You have no idea what it's like.'

'Actually, I do. Just remember who has been here with you this whole time. Me, that's who. Why didn't you call me when Katelyn woke up? You promised you would call.'

'Because she doesn't fucking remember,' I shouted, causing several heads to turn in our direction.

'She doesn't remember?'

'She can't remember the last 5 years. She doesn't remember that we're married, I haven't told her about AJ yet, so how do you think she will react when I tell her that she's been sleeping with you too?' Joe stood up.

'I want to see her.'

JOE'S POV

Katelyn was sat up, eating a banana, when I walked into her room. Drew tried to tell me that it was a bad idea, that it could overload her, but I needed to see her, if only for 5 minutes. He said I could have 15 minutes alone with her, then he was coming back. At this moment in time, I hated him so much for trying to come between us. Yes, I know he has every right to because he is her husband, but I love Katelyn too.

'Katelyn, hi,' I said meekly as I sat down in the chair next to the bed. 'It's me, Joe.'

'I know who you are silly,' she laughed, placing the banana peel on the tray in front of her.

'Drew said you don't remember some stuff. What don't you remember?'

'Oh yeah. He says that he's my husband, but that can't be true because I'm married to someone else.'

'Who are you married to mama?' She looked at me with those beautiful green eyes and smiled.

'You, silly. And I'm the one who is meant to have memory problems.' She laughed again and rolled her eyes at me. I leaned forward and kissed her. This felt right. This was how it was meant to be. Me and Katelyn. Not her and Drew. I was the one who she was meant to be with.
