chapter thirty three — bearer of bad news
"So you'll accept her help but not mine?" I felt my breathing increase as I spoke, "You spent weeks looking after me in the hospital and you knew I wanted to return the favour so desperately!"
My eyes widened as I stood in a state of shock, she had made that promise to me so many months ago and I had just broken it to her in a matter of minutes.
They had finally let me into the room that Liv lay so peacefully in, I hated seeing so many machines connected to her especially because I didn't know which each one was for. I decided to sit in the chair next to her bed so that the second she woke up I would know. But unbeknown to me I had fallen asleep so the next time I felt myself waking up it was to the faint familiar voice of Olivia.
"C-Conrad," She whispered, startling me as I blinked before finally waking up from the sore position that I was in.
I brought my chair as close as I could to the bed so she knew I was there for her, I held on to her hand which was filled with warmth from being under the sheets.
"Livy, hey, hey you're okay," I choked on my words as I tried to reassure her.
She began to look around the room before looking down at her hand in a state of panic, her breathing began to increase as the machine started to beep and that's when I realised I needed to calm her down, "Hey, hey look at me, calm down you're okay I'm here, it's all gonna be okay."
I started to panic myself, what if something bad was happening to her? That's when I realised I needed to go get someone just to be safe.
"I'm gonna get a nurse okay? It's all going to be okay, I promise," I squeezed her hand before rushing out of the room as the door slammed behind me making me cringe.
I sped down the hallway of the white hospital walls in hopes that I could find someone, "I need a doctor!" I finally managed to get a doctor's attention but it seemed I had also got everyone else's as they all stood up.
Oakley hurried over to me, worry laced in his face as I signalled for him to follow me back to the room. Much to my delight, Liv's machine had gone back to a normal rhythm which relaxed me as I turned to look at Oakley who had a smile on his face when seeing his sister was awake.
I can only imagine how scared Lee was, especially because Jere and I are going to go through the same thing except Liv isn't dying, our mom is. The Brooke siblings have always been close, they would have the odd falling out but didn't all siblings? I often envied their relationship with one another, Jere and I were close but I didn't feel like we bonded very often.
I decided to let the two have a moment to themselves as I slipped out of the room with a smile on my face; everything was going to be okay, Liv was okay.
