Chapter 14 - Daughter of The Script

Chapter 14 – Daughter of The Script

*Autumn’s POV*

I just run, I don’t know where my legs take me, I just run. I feel the tears stinging behind my eyes and feel panic bubbling in me. What have I done? I’m a monster! A mad man! A…a…afraid. I am so afraid; it runs through my very veins. The tears have started now, clouding up my vision. I pull open a familiar door and slam it shut behind me. I back away into the corner where I slide down the wall, shaking and crying. I try to stay quiet, I am normally good at it, but now small choked sounds escape my lips. I cry so hard and for so long I fear I will be sick. I swear there can’t be a single drop of water left in my body.

Suddenly a sound from the bed makes me freeze. “Autumn?” It calls softly. “Is that you?” I slowly and shakily get to my feet and stagger over to the bedside, dropping down in a chair next to it.   “Autumn, what’s wrong?” Danny asks reaching up a hand and opening it. I slowly slide my hand into his hand he strokes the back of it with his thumb. I look down at him, bandaged up in bed. Suddenly I start again, tears raining down my face. “Oh sweetheart.” He whispers. Without thinking I lean down to him and he wraps his arms around me, I see him wincing in pain but I need him. Nobody has hugged me since my sister’s death, I haven’t let anyone. So why am I letting him? I pull away, but keep holding his hand. I look down at him and he smiles encouragingly at me and I find myself smiling a little to. I know what it is, safe, I feel safe. He is not like my brother; I was stupid to think he would be. I have never really felt safe…well apparent from once…but that isn’t worth remembering. A false feeling of safe, this, this is a real one. This time I think I really am safe…for now at least. 

*Mark’s POV*

Two flights of stairs is a lot to fall down, but luckily Glen is alright; he has a small cut on his forehead and has a sprinted wrist but that is all, thank god. Autumn has run off somewhere and I haven’t yet had time to try and find her. Glen’s arm is put in a sling much to his irritation, and a large plaster put on his forehead.

“So she pushed you?” I ask as he finishes explaining what happened.

“Yeh…she got spooked; there were loads of people and I tried to pull her away and she lashed out. It wasn’t her fault, she was just scared.” Glen says.

“Yeh…what are we going to do?” I ask and Glen shrugs, wincing slightly as it jars his wrist.

“I don’t know. They said Danny should be out in about four days, Cat…well that depends- internal bleeding is dangerous. The operation is tomorrow and after that it could still be a while before she is out.” Glen says.

“Right…well I guess you could stay here the night, they said you can have the spare bed in Danny or Cat’s room…and Autumn…she could sleep in the other I guess.” I say.

“And you?” Glen asks.

“I need to go home; Rina, the kids, I need to be back.” I say and Glen nods.

“Of course.” He says, “Well then, I guess I should try and find her.” Glen says and I nod.

“I will come in first thing tomorrow.” I say and Glen nods.

“Night then.” He says.

“Night.” I say with a small smile before I turn to leave, smiling to myself slightly as I think of my family waiting for me.

*Glen’s POV*

I find Autumn in Danny’s room, asleep in the chair, their hands tightly clasped together. I don’t really understand it, this sudden bond between them. If I am honest; I am a little jealous, I can’t really say about what exactly, I just am. I see her cheeks are scarred from tears, what was she crying about? Pushing me down the stairs probably. I sigh and brush a lock of hair back from her face. I look down at her and Danny; they look so sweet together; they really could be father and daughter. I sigh and smile fondly at her; she is now our daughter in a way, a daughter that has joined our little family; the daughter of The Script.

*Danny’s POV*

It has been a few days now since the accident- Autumn has hardly left my side with Glen and Mark coming in when they can. I have been given regular updates on Cat but I haven’t actually seen her yet. This worries me, it makes me think they are hiding something from me, it scares me. Also, I miss her, I miss her so much. I saw Cat’s friend, Sally, crying as she walked passed my door the other night…that really scared me. I was overjoyed to hear I would be allowed out of bed today to see her. But now, in the wheelchair being wheeled down towards her room, I feel more nervous than ever.

The door swings open and suddenly there she is; lying on her back on the bed, her eyes closed, her head bandaged up, wires linking her up to machines, that beep, beep, beep, sound you hear in films echoing around the room. I feel myself choking up; I am responsible for this, I crashed the car, I did this to her!

“Oh.” Why does that sound always come out without asking permission or reason? Autumn wheels me up next to the bed and I take Cat’s hand in mine. I look at the various tubes coming from her arms and try to work out if they are putting stuff in her or taking it out.

“Hey.” I whisper softly, ignoring the pain as I reach out a hand to stroke her soft hair coming out from under the bandage. “Long time no see, hey.” I say and it breaks my heart to know she won’t reply. “I’ve miss you, you know.” I say trying to keep my voice steady as I look down onto her still, lifeless face. I feel the first tear drip from my eye and speed down my cheek. “I’m sorry, so sorry, I’m so sorry.” I begin to mutter as the tears fall. I can’t help myself, I keep saying sorry over and over again. Suddenly, someone else takes Cat’s other hand and I look up to see Autumn.

“Meow.” She whispers and Cat stirs slightly. I look at Autumn’s innocent face, smiling down at Cat and I can’t help but smile even through the tears.

“She will be ok, she has to be.” I say and Autumn nods. “You will be I promise, I won’t let you go you, hear me? Come on, you’ve got nine lives after all.” I say. She is beginning to stir more, maybe sensing our presence. Her mouth is moving slightly, like she is trying to speak, her head rolling softly from side to side on the pillow. “Shush.” I whisper.

“Danny.” She mutters and my heart suddenly decides to become an acrobat, summersaulting over and over.

“I’m here, I’m always here.” I whisper and she seems to settle a bit. Just then the door open’s and Glen puts his head around it.

“Dan, they said you need to go now, I’m sorry, we will see her tomorrow, promise.” He says and I nod though I really don’t want to wait till tomorrow.

“I will be back soon, promise.” I whisper kissing her hand softly as I am wheeled away from her, wishing tomorrow could come sooner.
