Chapter 90

Billie: When I looked up and noticed that his eyes were slightly open, I got mixed feelings.On the one hand positive, since it was really hard to see him like this.On the other hand, I was a little embarrassed about my outburst... but I think that's the last thing that interested him.I didn't know exactly what to say.Charlie had opened his eyes slightly and continued to breathe heavily. *Can he speak? Or does he even want to talk to me?* I asked myself.We looked at each other for a while, and I waited for an answer. But he didn't say anything... "Hello... I don't know what to say. I can understand that you don't want to see me, but please say something... I feel like the biggest asshole in the world right now. I'm not here to take Adie away from you... I just want to help her." He still didn't say sth., but his breathing was restless. It looked as if he wanted to tell me something, but for some reason he couldn't... At that moment the door opened and an older lady walked in. She looked into her pocket and said, "Charlie, I was just downstairs, I got your medication, should I... huuu who are you?" she asked, irritated. "Hello ma'am, me... eh... I'm Billie. I'm here to see Adrienne and Charlie." "Get out!!" she said in a serious voice when I told her who I was. "Leave my son alone. Didn't you and Adie cause him enough pain already? He will die!! Let him at least go in peace. What kind of a horrible human are you?" asked his mother and started to cry. Charlie tried to say something and mumbled in pain "No..." She immediately went to him and said "Don't worry, darling, I will throw him out." He mumbled again "No, please." His mother looked at me confused. I was also a bit surprised that he was protecting me. A nurse came in and asked us what we were doing here. "The patient needs some rest now. He just woke up from the surgery and should be sleeping. Please pay attention to the monitor, you both got his pulse very high. I have to ask you both to wait outside. When the medication gets lower, he can talk to you again." His mum hugged him one more time, and we both went to the waiting area in silence. She was standing in front of the window, trying to hide her tears...
