him eyeballing the waterfall.
     
    “I’ll do it,” Jonathan said nodding his head confidently.
     
    “Jonathan, that’s excellent. Follow me,” Tess said. Tess led Jonathan away from the table. Rebecca couldn’t believe he was going to jump. That’s crazy he would just go jump off a cliff like that!
     
    After a few minutes, Jonathan appeared in a line of people that were up at the waterfall jumping. He didn’t have the animal painting on himself, just a pair of blue trunks and a smile that beamed brightly down at Rebecca.
     
    Rebecca watched as person after person jumped from the waterfall and splashed into the water below. I couldn’t do it. When Jonathan’s turn was up, he stepped up and looked very nervous as he stood at the waterfall’s edge. Glancing down at the pool Jonathan turned away and grabbed at the safety railing at the top. Slipping, he missed the railing with his grip and instead banged his head against it.
     
    “Jonathan!” Rebecca screamed jumping up from her seat. Jonathan fell backwards hitting his head on the rocky cliff before tumbling down into the pool below. Workers rushed through the water pulling him up onto the shore at the pool’s edge. Rebecca jumped over the railing and rushed towards him. Watching over the shoulders of the workers, Rebecca gasped putting her hands over her mouth. “Come on! Jonathan!” She yelled. Checking for a pulse, the worker turned and nodded at Rebecca. Oh thank Goodness! There’s a pulse! Other guests and workers rushed over to the scene as one of the workers performed CPR on Jonathan. Coughing, he spat up water.
     
    “Jonathan!” She shouted. Rebecca could see blood run from the back of his head drain into the sand. Rebecca began sobbing as she waited for the paramedics to arrive.
     
    She could hear the ambulance show up outside and she looked at him again. His eyes began to open for a second and then closed. Being asked to step aside, Rebecca backed away as the paramedics checked for vitals and then took him away. Be okay Jonathan… please, be okay , Rebecca thought to herself as she watched the ambulance turn the lights on outside Raze and rush off down the road.

    “Good morning Mr. Bateman,” the doctor said as he walked into the hospital room grabbing the chart off the wall. Rebecca was asleep in the chair and woke up to the doctor’s entrance.
     
    “How’s he doing?” Rebecca asked as she yawned and stretched out. The doctor walked over to the bed and looked at the papers attached to the chart.
     
    “He has a cracked rib and a concussion that we know of so far. We are going to have him get an MRI if he agrees once he wakes up.”
     
    “Wakes up? He’s in a coma?”
     
    “No… Oh gosh no. He’s just asleep. When he wakes up we will see if he is willing to do an MRI.”
     
    “Oh good…” Rebecca responded. Her phone buzzed with a message from her friend Christina.
     
    Hey girl. Saw the news, is Jonathan okay? We should do lunch. You busy today?
     
    Not busy. Let’s do lunch at Zed’s Bistro… Noon works for me.
     
    Ok. See you there! Hugs.
     
    Rebecca hadn’t spoken with Christina much in the last year outside a brief encounter at their local hair dresser. The only thing they talked about was Christina’s new job at The Little Greenhouse. Outside of that instance, Rebecca hadn’t seen much of Christina since she married Jared. He was a nice enough guy; but he didn’t approve of Christina hanging out with single girls and going to clubs and bars. Rebecca thought it was immature and childish on Jared’s part.

    Walking through the restaurant floor, Rebecca searched for Christina. Finding her in a booth against the window, she made her way over there. As she approached, Christina looked up and saw her, standing up, they embraced in a hug.
     
    “I’ve missed you so much!” Rebecca said.
     
    “I know! I’ve missed you… How long has it been?” Christina asked sitting back down in the
