Falling In Love With Charlie Lenehan ~ Bars and Melody

Chapter 14

*Brietta's P.O.V*

I woke up and began getting out of bed to start getting ready for school, but when I stood up I suddenly got really dizzy and nauseous. I fell right back down on my bed.

"Mom!" I yelled. My mom quickly came into my room and sat on my bed.

"Yeah hun?"

"I don't feel the greatest, may I stay home today?"

"Only if you have a fever or your throwing up, let me go get the thermometer. Be right back sweet heart." I layed there for a couple minutes while my mom went and got the thermometer. When she came back she sat on my bed, turned the thermometer on and put it in my mouth.

The thermometer beeped and my mom just about fell off of my bed when she looked at it.

"What mom? Whats wrong?" She leaped off of my bed and bolted out my door before I think it even registered in her head that I had asked a question. I reached over and grabbed the thermometer from where my mom had dropped it and it was bad. The thermometer read:

109.8°F

I then dropped the thermometer just like my mom had. I was frozen. If it weren't for me hearing Charlie running up the stairs talking with my mom I probably never would have unfroze.

"What are you doing here Charlie?" I asked.

"Well your mom said that she needed help getting you to the car so she could take you to the hospital, but she won't tell me why."

"Really mom? Well it's becau-"

"It's because I don't want you to worry sweety" my mom said quickly cutting me off.

Charlie gave her a puzzled look then said, "ok, can you please go pull the car out front so she doesnt have to walk so much?"

"Yes, but don't rush her ok."

"Yes, ma'am." Me and Charlie watched my mom leave.

"Alright Brietta, what's going on? Why are you going to the hospital?" I quickly explained everything to him and he grabbed the thermometer.

"OH MY GOD BRIETTA! THIS COULD BE DEADLY!" Charlie yelled.

"Shhhhhh! Charlie, my mom might hear you."

"Oh, yeah, sorry. Let's get you to car before your mom gets suspicious."

"Ok, lets go. Here help me up." Charlie put his arm around me and began pulling me up. When he helped me up my shirt on the left side had been pulled up a bit so Charlie went to pull my shirt down but when he did he just stopped and starred at my side.

"What Charlie? What are you-" I looked down to see what he was staring at only to see the biggest bruise you've ever seen in your life.

"Brietta! What did you do?"

"I don't know. Maybe it happened last night when I fell off the bed. I did land on my high heel after all."

"Damn Brietta. Well let's get going, I can practically hear your mom's wheels turning trying to figure out where we are."

"Yeah, ok." I laughed.

"Hello Ms. Brietta, I am Doctor James How are you today?"

"Good, how about you sir?"

"Good thank you, now i've heard you've been having some dizzy spells?"

"Yes sir. And i've been feeling slightly nauseous, and there is one more thing I wanna ask you about..."

"Yes?"

"Well you see I don't want my mom to flip out, so mom can you please go outside?"

"I suppose so." My mom got up and walked out of the room. She tried to keep the door propped open but Charlie noticed and went over and closed the door.

"Well last night I fell off of my bed and landed on one of my high heels and now I have a, Massive, bruise and its really warm to the touch. What I wanted to know is if it was really bad or not."

"Ok, lets see it then." Doctor James said. I pulled my shirt up on my side and the second I did Doctor James grabbed my hands.

"Whats wrong doc?" Charlie asked quickly. Doctor James slowly put my hands down by my sides and put my bed down flat and began fiddling with my IV. "DOCTOR JAMES WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH MY GIRLFRIEND!" Charlie screamed.

"Young man she has internal bleeding so we need to get her to OR STAT. Now please go open the door for me."

"On it sir, what do you want me to tell her mother?"

"Absolutely everything. She deserves to know that her daughter is going into surgery and why. And call a nurse for me quick, they never answer quickly enough to the button."

"Yes sir, right away." Charlie opened the door and propped it open then bolted over to the nurses desk. I could hear him talking to the nurses. They rushed in and began helping Doctor James. They quickly wheeled me out and when we passed Charlie he was crying. I didn't want him to worry so I grabbed his hand as we passed. He jogged along side me until Doctor James told Charlie he could go no further. A set of double doors opened and Charlie stopped as Doctor James told him to. I quickly looked back before the doors closed and I saw Charlie punch the wall then rest his head against it crying uncontrollably.

I woke up in my room with my mom asleep on the couch across the room and Charlie asleep next to me. And I don't mean in the chair next to my bed, I mean right next to me. He was on my right so he wasn't on the side the I'd had surgery so I guess he was fine. He'd fallen asleep holding my hand.

I sat there just watching him sleep for a while. I wandered how long the surgery had been, it seemed like only seconds ago they were asking me to count down from ten. I lifted Charlie's hand to my mouth and kissed it softly, I hadn't expected it to wake him but it did, all well I wanted to talk to my boyfriend any way.

"Hey Bri, how are you feeling? You don't need any more pain meds or anything because I can call a nurse and-"

"It's fine Charlie, really. Calm down, I just wanted to kiss your hand."

"Oh."

"Yeah goof ball, now how long was I in surgery?"

"Six hours. It was terrible, I sat there feeling useless. And I felt miserable because I didn't know if you were gonna make it, but the second they wheeled you out of the OR I knew everything would be ok. And,

Don't.

Ever.

Do that to me again! You understand me!" Charlie said looking me straight in the eye.

"I'll do my absolute best, promise."

"You better." Charlie leaned down and kissed me slowly. Then
I layed my head on his chest and soon fell asleep listening to the sound of his heartbeat.
