Mollie

I had the next day off work so I stayed at the hospital for the entire night and was shortly joined with Noah's mum and step dad, both of them filled with hope that Noah will wake up soon
Since Noah's finger moved yesterday nothing else has happened but any progress is still progress

"Have you told April yet?" Bridget asks causing me to shake my head "I want her to believe me but I don't think she will, I just don't know how to tell her so she does" I sigh
"Yeah that's the difficult thing isn't it.. maybe Natalie could go with you and tell April herself?" Bridget suggest

I didn't think about doing that, I mean I can't stand Natalie but April deserves the truth
So I put my feelings towards Natalie towards the back of my head and just do it?
I suppose April needs to hear it from Natalie herself that is if Natalie will agree to come and tell her

"Does anyone know where I can find Natalie?" I ask
"As far as I'm aware she still works in the same place" Bridget explains while writing down the name of the place
Once Bridget handed it over I got up and said my farewells, I made a quick stop at home so I could shower and get presentable

I follow my Google maps across town, her work was only 20 minutes away from my house so it wasn't far to go at all
"You have arrived at your destination" the voice tells me, I park my car in an available spot and walk out to see this giant building full of glass windows

Natalie certainly worked somewhere good and watching the men and woman entering and leaving the building I definitely felt out of place, not just by how I was dressed but how I looked
I walk towards the front desk which sat a petite red head behind the desk with the greenest eyes I've ever seen

"Hi how can I help you?" She asks me with a smile causing me to return one
"I was just wondering if I could speak to Natalie please? Can you tell her it's Mollie" I politely ask making her grab the phone to make a phone call
It doesn't take long at all for her to say "Natalie will be with you shortly, you can take a seat over there" pointing over to some comfortable chairs to the left of the building

I look around the building and take in every detail and as I'm staring at the stairs I notice Natalie on her way towards me, I try not to constantly stare at her as she makes her way over
Once I could hear the taps of her high heels I look up and greet her with a smile which she returns and opens her arms for a hug which I follow through with

"Hey how come you came here?" Natalie softly asks taking a seat across from me
"I know that you'll probably say no to this and I'm sure you can figure out what I'm going to ask you.. but if I came with you and we both went to go see April would you tell her?" I softly ask noticing Natalie's becoming more and more uncomfortable

"I understand if you don't want to or you're scared for the reaction but Natalie you're a young girl and he's a fully grown man, April deserves to know the truth and I only feel like she'll realise it's true if it comes from you" I continue glancing around making sure no one else can hear our conversation

"I know she deserves the truth, I'm not going to lie I've constantly thought about telling her" Natalie sighs
"If you promise me you'll be there with me to help I will go and tell her, I can do after work tonight? I know Frank won't be there since he told me a few days ago he's away on a business trip" Natalie says
"Thank you Natalie I know it's a difficult thing to do" I say standing up and sitting next to her to wrap her in my arms

Yes she might not be the nicest of people but she deserves comfort when she's on edge
