Anther chapter... This's one is emotional... Hope you enjoy.
The three of them pulled up outside the hospital, both Zoe and Jordana both got out for the car. Sam stayed in the car so that he can go and park the car. Jordana and Zoe both made their way into the hospital, they rush around the different corridors until they come across the ward where Chris was.
They made their way through the door and then down another corridor, they walked quietly down the corridor and stop when they were outside the door. Zoe looked at the door handle, she can't bring herself to open the door. She was scared as to what she will see once she opened the door.
She took a deep breath and opened the door, she walked into the room. She started by looking down at the floor, she followed the flooring until she saw the wheels of the bed. She ran her eyes up the wheel legs and up to the end of the bed. She then lifted her eyes up and ran them along the bed covers before she reached one of Chris's hands.
She noticed that his hand was rested at the side of the bed with a wire attached to his fingers. She ran her eyes up his arm to see countless bruises and cuts scattered all along it. Once she reached the top of his arm she took a deep breath in before she looked at his face.
Her breath got caught in her throat when she saw his face. He had a tube coming out of his nose as well as a oxygen mask covering his mouth. There were bruises all over his face as well as cuts, his eyes were closed and one of his eyes was swollen and red.
Zoe turned back to look over her shoulder at Jordana before she walked over to the bed. She took a seat down beside him and grabbed his hand. His hand was cold on the outside but underneath it was relatively warm. He didn't grip her hand when she held it.
The only sound in the room was the sound of the heart monitor constantly beeping telling everyone that his heart was still beating. Zoe was glad that he was alive, maybe he wasn't in the best shape, but his heart was still beating. She wondered how much damage there was.
"Sorry family only."
The sound came from the door way, Zoe and Jordan both turned to look to see a nurse and Sam standing by the door. The nurse looked at them sternly, she looked down her nose and Zoe and Jordana. Zoe stood up from where she was sat and turned her full attention towards the nurse.
"I'm his girlfriend and these are his friends."
"You shouldn't really be here."
This time she was had turned to look at Sam and Jordana, but it felt like she was also talking to Zoe. The three of them turned to look at the nurse before she walked off with her head held high. Sam stayed by the door looked across the room at his best mate, laying there unmoving on the bed. Zoe turned back around and sat back down. She grabbed Chris's hand again and looked at him.
"Sorry. Are you family."
This time it was a doctor, Zoe nodded her head and turned her attention towards him. She wanted to know what was wrong. She had a feeling the nurse from before had spoken to the doctor.
"What's wrong with him?"
"We really should call his family."
The annoying, snooty nurse was back standing next to the doctor. Jordana looked down at her before staring at her. Zoe just continued to sit there holding Chris's hand while running her thumb back and forth. It was calming her down more than it would probably do anything for Chris.
"I am his family. His only family. His parents passed away when he was young and his sister is in Europe."
Zoe was his only family, they may have only been dating for a little while but Chris was her everything.
