Chapter 3
Billie’s P.O.V
I could see the happiness drenched over everyone’s faces, I looked in to see all the doctors and nurses checking Grace. I could hardly see her but she still looked weak, but at least she was alive, and awake!
‘I-I… I think she’s going to be okay’ I blinked back more tears of joy looking down at Adie who looked up in disbelief…
‘I hope so’ she smiled faintly, I could tell there was more to her words, but I didn’t want to push her, not now anyway. I just smiled and held her close still starring in at the frantic doctors surrounding Grace…
Mike and Tre walked over and without saying a word we all knew what each other were thinking, they both patted me on the back and went and sat down together.
‘Honey, I’m just going to go ring your mum, she asked me to call when we had news’ Adie still didn’t look right, I just smiled and nodded and she walked away. I was that deep in thought wondering about Adie that I didn’t realise the doctors had left Grace.
‘Mr Armstrong’ and older looking doctor stood in front of me,
‘Ummm yeah that’s me’ I smirked but he didn’t seem very impressed… mardy old fuck
‘Yes well… Grace seems to be getting there, she’s woken which is good, she still extremely fragile, however everything at the minute seems to be okay, she Is healing well and we expect her to make a rather good recovery’ he looked down at me over his glasses,
‘Rather good?’ I didn’t like the sound of ‘Rather’
‘Yes… I was getting to that, you see as Grace has been in a coma there are a few possible long term affects, such as… Tremors, headaches, balance problems and maybe even short term memory loss, but also there are mental effects, you may find Grace will be depressed, snappy and very enclosed into herself… but considering what she has been through its inevitable, but we can set up sessions that you Grace and your wife can come to, to help Grace through, I will leave it with you, my name is Dr Samona so please feel free to get in touch with me at any time… I will check up on you all later’ he didn’t break a smile and just walked off down the corridor. I stood still staring into space re playing everything the Dr had just said to me… I couldn’t quite remember everything I should have wrote it down, why didn’t he give me a leaflet or something?
I looked through the blind, Grace was sat staring at her hands. Sorrow filled my bones and without thinking any further I walked through and closed the door behind me.
I expected her to look up, or smile, or something. But she just sat still staring at her hands like a small child that had been told off.
‘Grace?’ I whispered slowly sitting beside her,
She looked up, I sharp breath hung in my throat as I saw the deep purple remnants of her near death experience.
‘That bad?’ Grace looked up touching her bruised skin, a single tear rolled down her cheek, I carefully brushed it away…
‘No… it’s just nice to see your eyes open’ I smiled trying to make her feel better, a small smile flashed across her lips but left just as quickly as it arrived.
‘I’d like to go home now’ she looked up a shadow of sorrow hung in her voice, causing my newly mended heart to break once more…
‘I know sweetie… but you need to stay here for a while… just to make sure your perfect again’ she looked down unimpressed with my answer…
As I was trying to think of something to try and cheer her up something caught my eye… I looked down to see her left hand shaking… it was almost unnoticeable… but I noticed!
She looked up realising I hadn’t spoken for a while and looked down to where my eye line had landed. She just grabbed hold of her hand forcing the shaking to stop.
I looked up and cleared my throat, I could tell she didn’t want to speak about it so I just pretended it never happened… I would confront the doctor about it later.
‘c-can I see Tre?’ she whispered almost so I couldn’t hear her..
‘Ummm… yeah sure, I’ll just go get him’ I smiled and kissed her on the head before leaving closing the door behind me I forced tears back…
‘Hey Tre… ummm Grace wants to see you’ he looked up his eyes were wide and the smile was even wider….
‘SHE WANTS TO SEE MEEEEEEE?’ he asked overly excited bouncing towards me, I just laughed and nodded before going and sitting next to Adrienne, pulling her in so her head was resting on my chest.
Tre’s P.O.V
I couldn’t believe that she actually asked for me…. I feel special
I looked round because I wanted to share my excitement with Mike, but he wasn’t there GOD DAMN YOU MIKE!!!
My unicorn would join in my excitement…. Oh star when will you come to me and be part of my life?…. You would love it so much, we could play drums together and run around freely in a meadow… you could eat a daisy or two… I could eat a daisy or two… it would rain glitter and we would frolic in the glitter… it would be so magical… we would slide down rainbows… and-
‘Tre? Grace wants to see you!’ Billie dragged me out of my unicorn filled day dreams, and I sprang into Graces room.
‘You called me lady…’ I looked over to see Grace sat clenching her fists staring down
‘Grace?’ I walked over holding her hand
‘They just shake… they won’t stop’ she looked up he eyes full of confusion
‘I’ll go get Billie’ but before I could take a step away she grabbed my arm
‘No…. don’t, I will tell the doctor later…. I don’t want him worrying any more’ she smiled hopeful… I looked at her deciding what to do..
‘Thanks for coming in’ she smiled changing the subject
‘It’s fine… how are you feeling?’ I asked sitting down on the chair next to her
‘Ummm… I’ve been better…. But I am getting there’ she smiled lightly
‘Good… is there anything you need at all?’ I wanted to try make her feel better
‘well actually… I’d really like my guitar… I get bored’ she still looked miserable but I could see a glimmer of her old self in her
‘I will get Beej to fetch it for you… right now your eyes look like shit… so you need sleep little misses’ she giggled a little.. it was so nice hearing her laugh finally, I had missed that little laugh… she kissed me on the cheek before slouching down and closing her eyes… I smiled and slowly left the room quietly closing the door behind me… I bet star could cheer Grace up.
