Chapter 34 Willow’s POV:
Days come and go without much change. I stay by my Mum’s bedside, desperately waiting for her to wake up. Sammi and Jinxx visit us every day and me and Sammi talk outside of the hospital together for some privacy.
“How are you coping?” Sammi asks me on one of these days.
I sigh and lean back against the brick exterior of the hospital. “It’s really hard seeing her so ill. Even when she was grieving for Dad she never looked this close to death. I’m scared that I’m never going to hear he voice again.” I say sadly.
Sammi looks at me sadly. “We’re here for you Willow.”
I take a moment before I reply. I look out over the hospital grounds. They’ve tried to lighten up the grey concrete by adding patches of green grass and trees along the path periodically. The hospital still feels like a place of pain. “Is Andy ok? I feel like he’s putting on a brave face for me and I don’t really know what to do.”
Sammi takes a deep breath. I haven’t told her that I overheard her and Andy’s conversation yet. “He’s worried for you. Andy doesn’t know if he’s doing the right thing for you, this is all new to him.”
“Andy’s being amazing, there’s nothing more he could do for me.” I say softly.
“I’ve never seen Andy act this way with a girl before and I’ve known him for a while. He wasn’t like this with Juliet.” Sammi says, smiling at me. I look away. I know Sammi doesn’t mean anything by this comment but something about it bugs me.
“Have I changed him?” I ask her, looking back into her green eyes.
Sammi looks puzzled. “Why would you think that?”
“You said you’ve never seen Andy act this way with a girl before, have I changed him?” I ask her again.
Sammi looks thoughtful. “I never meant it to be taken that way. What I meant is that you’ve bought out a different side in Andy, a more romantic side. With Juliet he was different, more distant. They cared for each other sure, and it seemed like an amazing relationship but compared to yours and Andy’s it was cold. Willow, when you and Andy are together it’s obvious how amazing you are for each other. The fact that you got together so quickly shows how compatible you are.”
Sammi’s words surprise me. That she’s saying that Andy’s and Juliet’s relationship wasn’t as good as me and Andy are now shocks me. I always got the impression that Andy and Juliet were soul mates. Sammi has completely changed my view on their relationship.
I take a moment to answer. “I’m holding Andy back. Black Veil Brides have only just released a new album, me and my sick Mother can’t take up all his time! Sometimes I feel as if Andy would be better off without me in his life.” I say quietly, staring off into space.
Sammi stares at me, mouth open, shocked. “You can’t think like that!”
“It’s true! Has his life got any easier since I entered it? No. It’s gone from amazing to terrible since he’s known me.” I say, twisting a frustrated piece of hair around my finger.
“Willow you’ve bought him happiness! You may be going through a rough patch but don’t give up on Andy. He cares for you deeply and I know in your heart you don’t want to let him go.” Sammi says, grasping my hand tightly.
I look up at her tears in my eyes. Not knowing how to answer, I smile at her appreciatively.
