I closed my eyes.
“Miller!” I heard, and it was probably the most beautiful word, what I’ve ever hear. Feeling of relief was very nice.
“Oh, thanks God, Hardy!” I sat on chair next to Hardy’s bed. I hated to see him, like this, but I was happy to see him alive.
“I want to go home.” He said.
“I’ll pick you up tomorrow.” I was upset.
“Please, Miller. I hate it there.”
“No! You nearly died today, so you need to relax.” I left the room. I was so angry. Hardy hasn’t any respect for life. It’s horrible.
I sat in the car and I drove back to my boys. Fred was sleeping and Tom was watching TV, when I came home.
“Aren’t you hungry, Tom?”
“No, I made dinner for myself a half an hour ago.” Said Tom and he smiled.
“I’m going to need someone who will take care about Fred tomorrow.”
“Fine. But promise, that you won’t cry.” Tom said and he glanced at me
“Alright.”
I went to bathroom after the conversation. I locked the door and I undressed myself. I walked to bath and I let the drops of water fall down on my body. I put some shampoo on my hair... I thought it is a shampoo, but it was conditioner.
“Shit!” I opened the right bottle. After the shower I dried my hair and I went to bedroom. I took a sleeping pill and I closed my eyes. I had a lot of nightmares that night. I hate it! Luckily, I survived the night and I woke up in the morning. Tom brought me some cookies and a cup of tea.
“It’s all about Hardy, isn’t it?” Said Tom and I looked at him very statled.
“How do you know it?”
“You were shouting all night and many times there was a word Hardy.”
“I’m so sorry. You probably didn’t sleep very well.” Said I
“I worry about you, Mommy.”
“You don’t have to worry. Just, Hardy’s in a hospital.”
“So, go towards him. He needs you more than us.” Said Tom and he winked at me. In fact, It’s conversely. I need Hardy.
“Can I bring him here?” I asked carefully.
“It’s your thing.” Said Tom. I drank the tea, cleaned my teeth and I drove to hospital.
I went to third floor and I opened a door. Hardy was sitting on his bed.
“Good morning, Miller.”
“Morning. Can you leave now?”
“Yes.” He said
We went to lift and we rode down. We slowly walked to my car.
“Where are we going?” asked Hardy, when we sat in a car.
“To my house. I’m not going to leave at your house. Don’t think about it.”
“I don’t think it’s a good idea.” Said Hardy
“Did someone ask you?”
“I’m sorry, Miller.” Said Hardy and he was silent for rest of the journey.
“Wait here, please.” I left the car and I went to my house.
“Tom! Hardy will come. Please behave yourselves.” I smiled
I took Hardy in.
“Tom, Fred, this is Alec Hardy. We worked together. I must take care about him so he will live with us for a few days.”
“I think, this really isn’t a good idea, Miller.”
“Keep your mouth shut!” I said
I showed the whole house to Alec and then he went to his bedroom.
I love being in my bed, so I lay on the bed and I read some book. I fell asleep after few minutes.
Some knocking on my door woke me.
“Open the door!” I shouted
The door opened and there was Hardy behind the door.
“Can I come in?”
“Yes, but close the door, please.” Hardy closed the door and sat on my bed.
“Tom made a lunch, spaghetti. It’s delicious.” Hardy gave me a plate with some good looking food.
“Thanks, but you didn’t have to bring it there. I would come by myself. It’s you, who need to rest.”
“Don’t start, Miller.”
“I’m not starting with anything, but you’re sick, Hardy.”
“Seriously, Miller, stop it.”
“What does Fred do?” I asked
“He’s playing. Tom went to Lucy’s.”
“Ok. Thank you.”
“Are you ok?” asked Hardy
“Yes. Why would I don’t be ok?”
“I’ve got an interesting conversation with Tom. You were shouting all night.” Hardy looked at me very worriedly.
“Yesterday was very exhausting day.”
“Do you want to take Fred to the walk?”
“Fine.” I said and Hardy helped me to get up from bed. I put on some clothes and I put Fred into buggy. Hardy wore his coat and we went to a walk. Hardy took the buggy with Fred. We walked on the cliffs. I love this place! Broadchurch is a very beautiful place. Cliffs and crystal clear sea. I love it since I saw it for the first time, but now, when I’m older, I love it more and more. We stopped and we were looking down from the cliff. We saw Abby and Sharon, so we ran away. It would be death for us. But nobody noticed that we weren’t in court for three days. I want this stupid court game to end. I want to see Joe in prison. Oh God, how much I hate Sharon and court.
We were walking for an hour more. Hardy is really good. He was pushing buggy all the time. He and Fred were so cute. I think that Hardy will be a great dad. He took Fred from his buggy and he swing with him from side to side. Fred looked that he’s very excited. I think Fred likes Hardy. Hardy changed. He was so arrogant when I saw him for the first time, but he’s kind now.
I glanced at Hardy, who sat on bench with Fred and Fred was trying to kiss Hardy. It was the cutest thing, what I’ve ever seen.
