Dream Lovers (Part VIII)

Mr. Stevens walks into Mat's room to find him and his wife together. He sat down and told them about his trip. Mat cries and says, " I knew that it was more than a dream. I was with her and she was with me." He grabs his father arm and looks into his eyes and continues," I've got to see her, dad! I need to see her before it is too late!" His father replies, " Son, you are way to weak to even think about a trip right now. You need to take therapy and build your strength up before you go." Mat shakes his head and replies," Either you take me or I will drag myself out of this hospital and take a cab there. I've got to see her, dad! Please take me!" Mr. Stevens puts his hand on Mat's shoulder and replies, " I'll go tell the doctor that I will be taking you somewhere. I'm sure that he won't like it but I'll tell him that you insist and I don't have no choice." Mat grabs him and puts his arms around him as he cries, " Thanks, dad.
Please hurry!"
Mr. Sanders leaves and returns a few minutes later with a wheelchair. He looks at Mat and says," The doctor said that he will allow you to leave if you promise to stay in this thing until you regain your strength." Mat holds his hands out so he could be helped into the wheelchair. He was happy. He was going to see Hannah once again. They put him in the car and head to
Coos Bay, Oregon.
The trip was pure agony for Mat. The scenery went by as if in slow motion. It seemed like ages since he left town to go to Coos Bay. He also wondered what would happen when he got there. He was terrified that he would never be with Hannah again.
The thought made a tear form in his eye. He turned his head to keep his parents from seeing his sadness. He closed his eyes and prayed that everything would turn out.
