Jace sat down brushing his forehead with his left hand, he had to get a cast on his right hand which was also a hassle until he was sedated again, knocking him out, again and when he woke up he was calmer. The doctors told him his hand was broken and they had to cast it. He hated it but he had no choice.
"Johnson?".
All the Eighty Nine's stood up, Siya, Khaya, Alec and Jay besides Jace who looked ready to die. Lizzy was standing in the corner her arms folded, she doesn't like sad people, sad Jace to be exact. No one does. The doctor frowned not sure whether to speak or not.
"Mr Johnson".He decided to try a different approach. Jace moved forward and they moved away from the others but they could still hear them."Her surgery went well, she is now in the ICU, she...".
"Can I see her?".
"I wouldn't advice it".
"I don't give a fuck about what you're advising against doctor, no offense but can I see her or not?".
Dr Pillay sighed."Yes but she's in a lot of medication, she won't even know you were there and...".
Jace didn't even wait for the doctor to finish, he rushed to the room pushing the door and Hazel was just lying there, half dead, half alive. Her arms bandaged from her fingers up to her shoulders. He held his mouth and walked up to her, he watched her and he couldn't help but cry.
He sat down and took her hand in his, kissed it and brushed it against his cheek, he brushed Hazel's forehead and kissed her lips. She didn't wake up, he didn't expect her to wake up immediately but he was hoping for something, anything. She needs to wake up, they need her, everyone needs her.
She looks so peaceful, so beautiful. She has pipes connected to her, she has pipes in her mouth, her forehead with zip stitches another pipe in her mouthaz, it looks painful. Her heartbeat displayed on the electrocardiogram and it looks good. She's gonna wake up, she has to.
He couldn't leave his wife's side, he didn't want her to wake up and not find him besides her, he wanted to be the first person she sees when she opens her eyes. And her eyes remained closed for two days and for two days he couldn't bath, eat, he couldn't even move and he barely slept, even when Siya forced him to go home, he still wouldn't go.
Doctors got in and went out, they went about their business, just a normal day at work for them. They had her breathing tube removed and many of her IV lines removed, that gave him hope, hope that she's getting better, she's breathing on her own now.
Siya pushed the door, Jay following him."You need to go home and rest".
"No, I'll wait".
And they both grabbed his arms and pulled him up, he had no energy or power to fight them off, not eating for two days isn't a joke. They pushed him out of the room, the Eighty Nine's looked pitiful, he hates that, he hates feeling like this. They walked past him to Hazel's room pulling the door closed and standing guard.
They won't leave her side either, they know her, most of them do anyway, they'll protect her no matter what, he knows that and that makes it better. Siya pushed him in the back of the car also getting in then strapped him in and Jay drove off.
"You gonna take a long hot bath, eat and rest, even if for an hour, but you will rest, then you will wake up and take another bath and eat again then we'll come get you".Siya said looking Jace straight in the eyes."Hazel can't wake up and see you looking like this, you look like shit, boss".
Jace just stared at Siya, Jay came back with all the car keys and all the phones he could find, Jace chuckled taking off his shirt. Siya nod, good choice, boss, they asked if he needed anything else and he needed everything, a couple of shots would do right now but he didn't say that out loud otherwise they would babysit him the whole day long. He just shook his head and they left.
