Falling for You

Chapter 9

It was later that evening and Zosia had been discharged. Both doctors were just sat in the car. Not moving, just staring at the hospital. Ollie could see Zosia was crying but he didn't want to say anything, she was grieving.

Ollie began to drive and saw that Zosia was beginning to drift off, he thought about taking her back to her flat but decided against it, he was going to take her back to his, away from the prying questions that Dom would spurt out and the stares from Arthur. They may be her best friends but he thought she needed him.

When Ollie pulled up outside his flat, Zosia was fully asleep, careful not to wake her up, Ollie quickly unlocked the door before scooping her up in his arms and carrying her indoors. She didn't stir as Ollie placed her in his bed, she was exhausted and clearly in pain which could be seen in her creased brow as she slept.

Ollie placed her gentle kiss on her forehead before dragging the covers over her and slowly getting in bed too. He didn't know if he should be even in the same bed he wasn't even her boyfriend after all, was he? He didn't know.

Suddenly Zosia rolled over and laid on Ollie's chest, still sleeping. An involuntary action that caused his heart to flutter. The constant warmth next him lead him off into sleep but it was not a peaceful one.

He woke up at 2am to find Zosia crying gently into her pillow.
"Zosh, Zosh come here." She didn't move.
" It all my fault. My baby died and it's all my fault."
" You didn't do anything wrong Zosia, some things just don't work out." He pleaded, but she continued to cry which was slowly becoming sobs.

Ollie just pulled her into his body and let her sob into his night shirt. He sat there stroking her hair and face trying to soothe her yet to no avail she continued.

"I should have just listened to my mum Ollie she was right."
"What do you mean Zosh, your mum died."
" No she didn't, why are you lying." she screamed. "She told me yesterday that I wasn't being a good enough mother." Before sobbing again.
" Zosh, I'm sorry, I will be back in a minute, hang on."

Ollie ran out of bed and into the living room. He searched through Zosia's bag to find her phone and immediately went to the phone book.

The phone began to ring.

"Hello?" Answered a man groggily.
" Mr Self, it's Ollie, I need your help please I don't know what to do, It's Zosia."
