A few hours later and Jake found himself standing beside his sister's hospital bed with tears streaming down his cheeks. It was the third day following her accident and it seemed like time itself hadn't been able to pass quickly enough since then for them to make peace with reality. Even though Rachel had miraculously survived, they both knew that things could easily take a turn for the worst at any moment since doctors had warned them that the chances of her recovering from the severe brain trauma she sustained weren't particularly high at all. But that didn't mean they weren't optimistic about the possibility either. After all, miracles happened every single day in hospitals across the country, including the ones right here in New York City, so it was entirely possible that they'd be lucky enough to witness one first hand in person at some point during their stay at Mount Sinai Hospital.
