The Five Days In The Hospital

Day 3
_____________

" Julia, how you doing today? " my main nurse,Anna, asks me. " I'm doing good. You? " I reply sitting up slowly with Anna's help. " I'm doing amazing. Cody says hi by the way. " she smiles. Cody is Anna's only son. He is a really sweet 9 year old. He came with her the past 2 days but sadly not today. He brings cookies or flowers the 2 days he came.
" Well let him I said hi and hugs for him!" I answer back happily. Anna sets a tray on my lap and i go to reach for the apple and grimaced in pain. Anna rushes over and hands it to me. " You're lucky your still alive dear. Most people don't survive these types of accidents." She smiles and places a hand on my forehead smiling in that motherly way. I smiles back at her. " I know. I think it was a work of magic!"
Anna shakes her head, probably thinking "kids and their silly thoughts." I smiled at her again.
" So hows Jonney?" I ask. Jonney is Anna's husband. He is a cop. He is out of town for this week. And Anna hasn't been taking it very well. She tries to hide it from Cody. But Cody knows what is going on, but he leaves her be.
" He's good he called last night. He said he might be home early." She says. She looks at my smiling to cover up the tiers but I can see them coming. So I say, " thats good to hear!" And end the conversation there.

Day 4
______________

I wake up to a knock at my door. " Come in. " I call still groggy from not that much sleep. I fell asleep at 10:00 pm, I glance at the clock, its now 4:30 pm. That means school just ended. Then the knock must be Jonathan knocking.
" Hey, Julia." Jonathan causally walks in. " Hey Jonathan."
He smiles at that and gently kisses my head. I guess afraid to hug me and hurt me. " How you doing? " He glances at my arm. " I'm good, you?"
He frowns, then covers it with a smile. " I'm okay. " I frown now. " You sure about that? " I ask, but already knowing the answer.
Jonathan hangs his head. " No. People kept saying it was my fault that your in here. That I should go in a hole and die." He stifles a sob. I reach out my hand and he takes it. " You didn't do it. I promise. And on the bright side, I'm still alive. Right?" He nods watching me.
I get really emotional and I start to cry. He wipes my cheek and then cups my face. Once I let his hand go. He hugs me slowly and I hug back tightly. I sob and he grips me tighter. He runs his hand through my hair and murmuring things that are supposed to comfort me.
