RESCUE - Part 2

Chapter 45 - shes awake

It'd been two weeks, I was awake but my body wouldn't let me function, I didn't feel like myself at all, I wasn't in my own body, maybe it was the painkillers, I didn't know, I could register the doctors but couldn't register what they were talking about...the room was silent, until I heard someone walk into the room, drag a Chair across the floor and sit down with a sigh "none of this would've happened if you'd have listened to me...if you hadn't have gone back to the fire station" mouse's voice echoed around my head, but my body not allowing me to answer back, but to just lay there and take the verbal battering "and the fame...paparazzi wouldn't have been there'd if you were just you again" how could he be saying those things to me "and now you're paralysed, why can't you be more careful huh?!" Paralysed....no..I could feel my body..."and now you're in a wheelchair, and I'm gonna have to quit my job, how are we going to cope h-" "hey mouse you got here!" I could hear Jensen's voice with whip and jared, "I er, I need to grab a drink" the chair slid back as mouse walked out the door, closing it behind him...

Someone took my hand "right, come on Charlie, let's get those eyes open, it's a sunny day! And your room looks like a florist!" Whip chuckled softly as I fought my own body to try and open my eyes, it paid off..."oh my god Charlie!" Whip cupped my face "w...whi-" "I said to open your eyes not to talk missy!" I raised an eyebrow at him as jared and Jensen came over "hey you!" I smiled slowly as a doctor rushed in with Spence "well well Mrs Jenkinson, nice to see those eyes again" I watched as he came over "I'll give you a check over, sit you up, fill you in and get you a well deserved rink because I'm sure you're gagging for one!" He squeezed my shoulder as he began to check all my vitals.

Eventually I'd been checked over several times and I was sat up in bed, brought round from the painkillers, with only mouse's words rattling around my head, Jensen and Jared were busy trying to get security sorted, apparently there had been a Few paps that had managed to sneak into the hospital and sneak a few photos, whip sat on the corner of my bed on the phone to Meg when mouse came in pushing a wheelchair "come on, nurses say yours ready to go for a small outing to get you into the sunshine..." I glared at him "Jensen is taking me" "Charlie..." He laughed nervously "....no I'm taking you.." "No. Michael. Jensen is taking me....because I'd hate to have any more of my fame bother you" he stood up straight, and swallowed nervously "you heard tha-" "every. Single. Fucking. Word" "I didn't me-" "don't give me that shit. You meant every word becuase you didn't think I could hear you, and don't you dare try and deny it" his mouth, moving as a goldfish, "Jay you ok to take me out?" "Hell yeah, me and jared thought of grabbing a coffee...with the mrs's wanna get dressed up and come with if the nurses let you?" "Sounds great" I looked at mouse before Jensen carefully picked me up and sat me on the chair, "what I'll do is I'll ring Danneel and we can get her to bring you some makeup, let you jazz yourself up" "sounds great" I smiled before glaring at Michael as he walked out, slamming the doors behind him.

Danneel gave me some clothes, I'd lost that much weight I was down to her petite size, we were sat in the coffee shop, a private little cafe, no paps, no fuss, the main celeb hangout "I can't believe he said that to you!" Gen leant forward handing me a tissue "I get that he said not to go back but, that could've happened to anyone..." Whip who sat quietly with Spence looked down at their cups "you guys okay?" I croaked, my voice still hoarse "we...we went to truck...something felt off" they went quiet "you found something...didnt you" everyone went silent "what is it?" "Someone cut your belt" Spence looked at me "cut....someone...cut..." My heart was beating out of my chest "they wanted me to be injured?" "I think they wanted to KI-" "kill me?" I gasped at my own answer "but...how'd they know I were going to be out that day...on that road...oh my god" I put my empty coffee cup down with shaking hands "what?" "The lorry driver...it...it was all a set up, down to final timings..there were no emergency...it was to get us out, down that street, for him to to to hit our truck with his lorry...." "Charlie whos he?!" Whip leant forward "Sean..." I wiped a tear from my face "Sean?" Whip looked at Spence as he gasped "Charlie..." "Sean...Marie's brother..."

They took me back to the hospital to get signed off, I had my bags and whips car full of flowers, mouse stood there "you're coming home with me" "no I'm not" I sat there in my wheelchair, my legs...dead... "Charlie...the car is outside...you're coming with me" "Michael...the car may be outside...I'm not coming with" I pulled my bag onto my knees and looked at Jensen "Michael she's coming with us" "this is bullshit" "NO! This is what you get for saying what you did!" Jensen squeezed my shoulders before pushing me out to his car "hope you had a nice trip in Scotland with your kilts! Mullet boy!" "Kilts...I didn't tell you about the k- that was you!" "Yes jackass and I don't regret any minute of it!" Jensen pushed me out to his car, leaving mouse stood there, looking angry.
