Friendship on the line

Chapter 42

*Tia’s POV*

It was 10AM the next morning. I was so tired I didn’t sleep too well. Neither did Conor. I got up to see Conor wasn’t next to me. I walked downstairs to see Conor placing more ice on his eye. “Still hurts?” I ask as I walk up to him and kiss him gently on the lips “yeah, its fine don’t worry.” He told me. I hugged him and we stayed there in each other’s arms for a while. “You wanna go visit Kerry today?” Conor asked me. I pulled away “what?” I asked “I said did you wanna go visit Kerry today? Visiting times at the hospital are 10 till 4” “I don’t think that is a good idea….” I tell him. I mean I hope she was ok and everything but if Kerry’s dad was there then things wouldn’t go right. I didn’t know what state she would be in or if she would remember anything about last night. “look, it will be ok. Come on. As soon as you are dressed we can go down there. She needs her best friend around her” Conor told me. I paused for a while then sighed. “Ok I will get dressed and go down with you. You will come in with me won’t you?” I asked him. He kissed me on my head “of course I will baby” he told me as I went upstairs to get dressed.

*Kerry’s POV*

At least I got some decent sleep. I couldn’t really remember much. The last thing I remember was Nathan kissing me then me falling asleep. I was aware of my surroundings now though. I was in a small room laying in a bed. The walls were white and the bed sheets were cotton linin. I was in a hospital gown. How they managed to change me I will not know. I had wires connected to my chest which did look scary as well as a small breathing tube fitted around my nose and some kind of needle in my hand connected to a small bag of some kind of liquid. All very medical indeed. I could hear the beeping of the machine next to me as well. My wrist was in a cast due to me apparently breaking it. I still can’t remember what happened that night. All I know was I was a complete and utter idiot. I didn’t know who any of my Doctors or nurses were. If they were male or female. It was all such a blur to me. Then a young man walked in. “Hello Kerry, did you sleep well?” he asked me. I guessed he was my nurse? “Yes thanks, er I am sorry my brain is in a muddle. Who are you?” I asked. He chuckled a bit “It’s ok. I am Scott Robson. I am your nurse” he told me “oh, ok. You got to do anything to me then?” I asked he nodded “just your temperature and blood pressure. I gave you a blood test yesterday. You might not have remembered.” He told me. I shook my head “no. I don’t remember much. Just my boyfriend being here” I told him. He smiled as he took out a thermometer from the draw “ok just tilt your head to the side” he instructed me. I heard the faint beep as the temperature was taken. “Very good, now I just need to put this around your arm” he told me as he put the thermometer away and got out a blood pressure machine and wrapped the cuff around my arm. “It may feel a bit tense ok?” he told me. I nodded as I felt the cuff tightening and then releasing. He took off “brilliant. Just going to go give the results to Dr Schmidt. I think you have got some visitors waiting outside” Nurse Robson said. “Okay, thank you Scott” I told him as he left the room and I awaited my visitors.

*Conor’s POV*

We walked into Kerry’s room. She looked at us and smiled “hi” she said quietly. Tia just smiled and I said hello back “how are you feeling?” I asked her trying to make conversation. “I’m ok. I can’t really remember much but enough of that. What the hell has happened to you?” Kerry asked me “it was your dad. He hit him” Tia said. “Oh my God! I am so sorry!” she said. “Hey, it’s ok. Don’t strain yourself will you.” I told her. “Here, we got you these” Tia said passing Kerry a bunch of tulips. “Awww Tia! I love them. They are my favourite! You know me too well” Kerry and Tia joked. “So do you remember any of last night Kerry?” Tia asked Kerry. She shook her head. “At the moment, the last thing I can remember is Nathan kissing me yesterday when I was in here. My mind is such a blur. I take it I have been a complete twat though so I am really sorry.” She told us, “and I know I have been so harsh on you Conor. You and Tia are a lovely couple and are going to be amazing parents” she told me. I smiled “Thanks Kerry” I replied. Then the door opened at a lady walked in “how are you feeling Kerry?” the woman asked “I am fine thanks Dr Schmidt” Kerry told her. She looked my way “oh darling what happened to your eye?” she asked me pointing to my black mark surrounding my eye. “My dad” I heard Kerry say “Kerry you didn’t have to say that. I would of lied or something” I told her. “You are going to have to get that looked at. You may need stiches as well. I am also afraid I will have to get the police involved” the doctor told us. We all looked over to Kerry. In a way I felt bad for her. This was her dad, who was going to get into trouble, for hitting me. “Guys, seriously. He is a jerk don’t worry about it. Go get that eye sorted out Conor.” She told me. “Honestly it is fine” I protest “Conor! Listen to Kerry! You need that eye sorted out” Tia told me. I sighed and then agreed. “Ok fine I will. We will be back in a bit” I told her as both Tia and I gave Kerry a hug and I left with Tia and Doctor Schmidt to go and get my eye sorted out.
