The one day that changed her life.

Chapter 15: Hard to believe.

I woke up with a pain, an unbelievable pain in my stomach. I woke Jesse up just from me almost screaming. It was like something had bitten me so hard that everything inside of me was screaming. Jesse took me to the hospital. We drove into the carpark as I texted mum telling her to meet me there. I walked in and feel onto the hospital floor, that is all I remember.

I woke up in a bed, it was so dark around me and then a bright light bursted like a sunrise into my face. I pulled my hand over my face and saw a shadow walking towards me, it was Jesse. He put his hand onto mine and told me I was going to be ok. I asked him with fear of what had happened. He told me I had appendicitis. My stomach fell but then he told me it was going to be ok because they put me into surgery. Next thing my mum came in and whenever I was in pain my mother was the only person I needed to see. She held my hand and somehow some pain fell away. I was so tired so I fell back asleep.

Walking into the apartment I saw all the things moved and touched in the rush to get me to hospital, all the clothes thrown around wherever we could place them. I walked to the couch and sat down, just looking around reminded me of the pain that was once here. I couldn't understand why being back here reminded me of all the pain. Jesse came over and sat next to me, explaining all the pills I needed to take and when. I glanced over and there were flowers on the table, balloons saying get well soon. All from the boys at work. I fell onto Jesse embracing him to help me relive the pain. We turned on the TV and I just laid there with him for what felt like forever.

The next day was like any other, less painful but just enough to make it annoying to try and do anything. I watched Jesse leave for work, my heart pinned to be able to walk out with him and be back doing what I love. Once he shut the door I looked around and well I was alone. So I texted Amy, I knew if I texted anyone she would be here in a heartbeat. And so she was. We went down to the beach and visited the boys which was really good, went to see my horses and they always helped me feel better and Amy just helped me feel better. Amy left just before Jesse got home from work, he gave me a big hug and told me how boring work was without me there. I started crying:

"Whats wrong? Is it the pain again?" Jesse crumbled into being protective. 

"No, I just miss being able to go to work and be with you all day." I fell into him hugging him so tightly. 

"Maybe we can see if you can do light tower work so you can still come and be with everyone." Jesse wanted a resolution to make me feel better. 

"Yeah that is a good idea." I already felt better, I was so blessed to have someone that only wanted to help me and make me feel better everyday. 

I laid awake for the rest of the night, just going over my life. I turned over and looked at Jesse sleeping so happily. I couldn't believe how blessed I was and just thinking of the bad things never made me scared or worried because I had such beautiful people around me.

After the night I had I woke up without much sleep feeling like I could take on the world. I got out of bed and jumped into the kitchen, cooking and baking ready for Jesse to wake up. He walked out and smiled and just that smile made me feel so happy. His phone rang and it was Hoppo:

"Hey Hop, whats going mate?" Jesse wasn't really sure why he was calling since it wasn't a usual thing. 

"Hey Jess, I was wondering if Jess could come in today and just help out in the tour since I know she would be board and we could use the help?" 

"Yeah! She will be stocked to come in! Thanks Hoppo!" Jesse put down his phone and told me the good news. I literally jumped off the ground. I couldn't believe how well this day was going and hopefully it kept going.

We walked into the tour and obviously word had gotten out that I was coming back because there was everyone in there and all of them waiting to give me a hug and make sure I was ok. I had worked in a few places before Bondi and I have never worked at such a team driven place. Everyone was so caring and gave me a comfy chair and always checked on me. Jesse was the most pedantic one though, every second he was radioing me and every other second he was texting me cute messages. Lucky it was a quiet day haha. By the end of the day I had got a lot done and I was happy even just to sit there and watch the boys and help out where I could.

Walking into the hospital for my checkup didn't scare me since I did black out very early into the experience. I sat down in the doctors room and just prayed for a good answer. 

"Hi Jess, I hope you are feeling better. It is good news, you are healing very fast and by the look of these x-rays and your stitches you should be able to do light work on the beach in a few weeks." 

I couldn't be happier, that news just topped of the day. I couldn't believe how lucky I was to get out of this with only a few weeks of time in the tower. Jesse and I walked out of that hospital hand in hand and didn't look back, just forward with a big smile on our faces.
