My fathers best friend (Waterloo road)

Twenty-Six

Ruby got to the hospital with Esme. All that she felt was numb. Simon had been in an accident and she was scared. She was scared that she was going to loose him and she couldn't cope with that

Ruby was scared and she knew that the last thing that she wanted was to loose Simon

"Hey he is going to be okay" Esme said as she placed a hand on rubys arm. Ruby looked to her and frowned

"You don't know that. I'm scared. I'm scared that I will loose this him and I don't know how I will cope and I know what you tho k and how wrong this is and how he's dads best friend but look where is dad, he isn't here and he can't coke to his best Friends side. It shows the man that he has turned into. The man I loved and looked up to so much" ruby said as Esme smiled

"He's a changed man but Simon will be okay. I know I don't understand but I see how he looks at you and your having his baby and it will be okay" Esme said

Ruby looked to her and smiled. Ruby knew what a mess it was and how scared that she was and how she couldn't loose Simon. She knew how things hadn't been easy but she knew how she needed him

She was having his baby and she didn't know how she would cope if something happened to him

Ruby walked back into the house with Esme and looked to her

"I don't want to be here I need to be with Simon" ruby said as Esme looked to her and smiled

"I get that I do but you need to rest and think of the baby. Look I'll make some lunch go and get a Vern and relax the stress can't be good and mum said she was popping in. I don't think she'd be happy to see you there" Esme said as ruby looked to her and sighed

"Mum knows. She isn't thrilled over it but she said what's done is done and she said I'm old enough to get pregnant I'd have to deal with the consequences when it comes out and she's right it's just I wish it wasn't so hard" ruby said as Esme looked to her and smiled

"I know it's hard I do but I'm here okay and Simon will be okay" Esme said as ruby looked to her and smiled. Ruby hoped that she was right

Ruby lay in bed and looked to her bump and smiled as she rested her hand on her bump

Ruby knew that things were a mess and she knew how is scared her and how she was scared that she was going to loose Simon

She wiped the tears from her eyes and rolled over into side. All that ruby wanted was for Simon to be okay. She knew that it wasn't going to be easy but would everything be okay and was Simon going to be okay?
