The Boy At The Stables~ Chapter 14~

I squeeze his hand; praying he would grunt again. The nurse pushes the door open to the room after hearing the emergency alarm that I had pressed. She walks quickly across the room towards JJ.

'What is it?' she asks; bereathless.

I catch my breath, still shocked at what I'd heard.

'He grunted..he grunted loudly, and he did it twice! Will he wake up?' I ask; hopeful that her answer would be a yes.

'He can't have grunted; you must of imagined it. He will be awake soon, but not yet. Be patient.' she exclaims; almost angry with me.

'But he-' Another grunt cuts me off mid-sentence. The nurse's jaw drops slightly; her eyes lighting up.

'I-I'm going to get the doctor!' the nurse stutters in amazement; quickly rushing out of the room and down the corridor to fetch the doctor.

My eyes fall back onto JJ's face again. Squeezing his hand even harder this time, I stand up and lean into his ear.

'JJ, keep trying..keep trying to wake up!' I whisper loudly; hoping he would hear me.

'JJ, please, I love you.'

*JJ's POV*

'JJ, please, I love you.'

Those words spur me on. I'm exhausted, but I know I must keep going. My mind is aching; not just from the head injury, but from the effort of trying to wake up. I can't feel anything; I can't feel myself moving, I can't smell anything; I can only hear. It's not until a familiar smell lingers in my nostrils that I realise my body is beginning to work again. The smell? Colourful flowers; picked on a Summer's day with the heat radiating through the assortment of petals; it was the smell of Eva's perfume. I can hear more clearly now too. The continuous beeping from a machine nearby to monitor my heart rate; the quiet whistle of a soft breeze creeping through the crack in the window; the heavy breathing and hopeful words from Eva. Now I can hear footsteps; two people rushing quickly towards my room. My mind is using the remainder of my energy to try and wake up; I know the footsteps are that of the doctor and maybe a nurse.

If I am going to wake up, it would have to be soon.

A sudden rush of cold air hits my skin; I feel a sudden group of goosebumps rise upon the skin of my arms. A pressure is squeezing my hand tightly; a small, warm hand holding onto mine protectively. The bed sheets feel soft beneath my fatigued body; almost soothing my broken skin. Wait..that means..I can feel again! 'Just a bit harder JJ' I tell myself. In my mind, I imagine myself squeezing Eva's small hand back. I imagine curling up my toes towards the ceiling above; reaching out far above. I imagine wriggling my body amongst the bed sheets; just hoping I would do it in real life and not just in my mind.

Then, I imagine opening my eyes.

To my surprise, a blinding white light almost blinds me as my eyes slowly flicker open. I can't see anything at first; just blinding white lights. Oranges and yellows begins to dance like flickers of paint across a white canvas as my eyesight slowly returns to normal; the white light slowly dispersing; revealing the unfamiliar room in front of me.

A glass vase sits next to me filled with bright red roses from a bouquet. 'Get well soon!' cards stand still around the vase; filled with thoughtful messages that I can't read yet. Machines and different equipment are near me; a machine beeping continuously in my ears. My eyes scan the room; falling on objects which lie on the other side of the room; still trying not to move my neck yet. Then my eyes meet with a relieving sight; Eva's beautiful face.

*Eva's POV*

Just as his hazel eyes open to the World once more, the nurse arrives with the doctor. They both gasp in shock as they notice his sudden movement.

'JJ, take it easy please.' the doctor orders as he quickly takes out his stephiscope; walking towards him. The nurse stands shocked next to me; her hand moving to my shoulder.

'We need to wait outside whilst the doctor checks him over and removes the drips from his arm.' she smiles; pulling me away as I resist to leaving JJ's side. I don't want to leave him now, not whilst he's just waking up.

'He is a miracle, really. The swell on his brain was just a build up of water trying to repair bruising. He's incredibly lucky not to have cracked his skull or suffered brain damage. He has regained contiousness quickly too; quicker than we had expected.' the nurse begins to explain as we both watch through the window to JJ's room.

'He has to take it easy now; he's still very exhausted and his head will take time to heal.' I stay silent as she explains; simply smiling with gratitude as she finishes talking. The doctor removes his plastic gloves as he walks through the door outside of JJ's hospital room after checking him over..

'He is contious and in a stable condition. He is still recovering and is increcibly lucky. Please, take it easy with him; I will now go and contact his family and friends and check on him again soon.' the doctor tells me; shaking my hand before he and the nurse rush back down the corridor; too busy to make conversation.

I re-enter through the door; the room looking brighter now that JJ's hazel eyes are open wide to the World. He smiles weakly at me; tears forming in his eyes.

'JJ!' I smile, running over to his side. I take his hand in mine again, before sitting back down in the chair.

'JJ, JJ thank you for saving me life. I don't know if you heard me earlier, but I love you.' I smile widely; wiping the tears that fall down his cheeks carefully. He breathes heavily, clearing his throat with a slight cough before beginning to talk.

*JJ's POV*

I clear my throat with a slight cough before beginning to talk.

'I-I heard everything. I heard you tell me that you can remember me, and I remember that you..love me. I heard Otea, and my mum; they were here too. I heard your conversation with Josh...How you asked him why he kissed you..' She turns away; the disapointment in herself showing in her face.

'I can't remember why JJ, I can't.' she chokes; trying not to cry.

I smile at her reassuringly; I knew she loved me, I wasn't scared to tell her the past.

'Eva, I need to explain something to you before Josh or my family arrive..I need to help you remember what happened two years ago.' I stutter; my eyes looking up at the clock. 1:24am; exactly two years ago, Eva was in a hospital bed uncontious. She alive, but her mind had been wiped. I was just a blur, just a stranger to her.

Now she was back, and I was back in her mind. I wasn't just a blur, I was'nt just a stranger to her anymore. She had remembered me; the boy from the stables.
