Chapter 2
Billie’s P.O.V
‘Billie?’ I looked up to see Adrienne pale and looking exhausted,
I just starred, she came and sat next to me bursting into tears I grabbed her and pulled her to my chest, I could feel her staggered breathing as she began sobbing harder.
Seeing her like this was the last thing to send me over the edge, I felt my heart stop completely, loss filled my body, all hope seemed to have vaporised in to thin air. I was broken, and nothing anyone could say or do would fix me. The only thing that could drag me back to reality was Grace surviving.
‘How long’s it been?’ Tre walked up solemn and disorientated,
‘Ummmm… a couple of hours I think’ my voice was husky and barely audible,
He just nodded and sat down next to Adrienne placing his hand on her back trying to comfort her, none of us said a word. There was nothing to say, we just sat lost in our thoughts.
As I sat there, thoughts haunting my mind, I began to feel trapped and my breathing began to pick up. I jumped up, causing Adrienne to fall back onto Tre
‘Billie? Are you okay?’ she sniffled sitting up
‘Ummm, I just need to get some air’ she nodded and I almost ran out the building.
The cold air smacked me in the face instantly puling me from my daze. I looked up,
‘God, I know I haven’t spoken to you much over the past couple of years, but please, just help Grace. She’s done nothing wrong. She doesn’t deserve being treated like shit… shit sorry… I mean…. Just… please’ tears began falling once more, I slowly slid down the wall until I felt the concrete beneath me.
‘BILLIE!’ I heard Mike getting closer before hurling me up onto my feet
‘Huh? What is it?’ I looked at him still wiping tears,
‘It’s Grace… she’s out of theatre’ a sudden wave of relief swept over my whole body, but there wasn’t something quite right, Mike didn’t look happy, in fact he looked worse…
‘Mike…. What is it?’ I looked straight into his eyes,
‘She…. She lost so much blood…. They think they’ve stopped the bleeding now… but…’ he was hesitant which made me uneasy,
‘Mike?’ the relief I felt was slowly retreating…
‘She’s in a coma, they still don’t know whether she’s out of the woods yet, she’s on life support and…. They said there’s a 98% chance she won’t wake up’ he threw his arms around me and I felt him begin to weep, I placed my arms round him, blinking trying to take in what I had just heard.
‘There’s still 2% though right?’ I croaked
‘Yeah… ‘ He looked up holding back the tears
‘Then she still has a chance’ Mike looked at me still doubtful but just nodded
I walked Mike back inside to Adrienne and Tre who were sat with Grace, I couldn’t bring myself to stay looking at her for very long, seeing her with all them tubes and wires sticking into her nearly brought me too my knees…
Adrienne’s P.O.V
‘Sorry guys, but we are going to have to ask for only one person in at a time, sorry’ I looked up to see a nurse standing at the door,
‘We understand, Adrienne, do you want to stay?’ Mike asked slowly standing from his chair,
‘Thanks guys’ I weakly smiled before Mike and Tre left closing the door behind them,
