Just A Fool- Nathan Sykes (Fan Fiction)

Chapter 15- Recovery

"There she is." I could hear the relief in Nathan's voice as I slowly woke up, trying to remember where I am. My head hurts, I try and open my eyes but everything is blurry, I try and sit up but I fall back down again. "Hey relax Kel. Don't try do everything too quickly, you're recovering remember." I heard Nathan say and I put my head back down on the pillow, falling back asleep. 

*Nathan's P.O.V*

"What did we miss?" Jay asks as all the boys walk in behind him. "She woke up for a minute, I told her not to get up too quickly and then she went back to sleep." I say to them and they all sit down around her again. We have all basically been in the same positions for three days now, except for the occasional bathroom break and food run, and for the boys a quick trip home. "It's been three days Nath, I thought the doctor said she would only have to stay over night and then she would be fine." Tom says and I just glare at him. "What am I supposed to do Tom? I'm not the doctor and I'm not Kelly, I don't know what's going on." I say, not bothering to hide the worry and fear in my voice. "Sorry mate, I'm just worried is all." Tom says and I ignore him, grabbing Kelly's hand, squeezing tight. 

*Kelly's P.O.V* 

I woke up, feeling Nathan squeezing my hand really tight. "It's going to fall off if you hold it any tighter." I say to him and I can picture the smile on his face. "Well it's about time sleeping beauty." He says to me, leaning over to kiss me on the head, "How long have I been out?" I say, still not moving or opening my eyes. "Three days." I hear Siva say and I open my eyes and look at Nathan in shock and I can see the sadness in his eyes and it breaks my heart. "The doctor told me it would only be about a day." I say to them and they all shrug, obviously knowing just about as much as I do. "He hasn't told us anything." Nathan says and I squeeze his hand as he squeezes mine. 

"Yes I apologise for that but it has been extremely hectic around here." Dr Matthews says as he walks into the room. "It is not necessarily a bad thing that you were out for a little bit longer, it just gave your brain a bit more time to heal. The recovery is different for everybody. We'll do a few more tests, schedule your next surgery and then you will be able to go home." He said and we all nodded, He walks over and grabs the clipboard at the end of the bed, making a few notes. "Alright." He says and he finally looks up from making his notes. "Let's get you up and into the room for some scans." He says and Nathan reaches his arm over to me to help me out of bed. 

We walk down the long hallway in silence. I hold onto Nathan's arm tightly so that I don't fall, my head still hurts and I feel weak, I hope that is normal. Nathan and Doctor Matthews go into a room with computers, where they will see my scans, and the nurse leads me into a little room with a lot of equipment and a sort of chamber in the middle. I lie down inside and the nurse tells me not to move. The machine starts up and I stay absolutely still. I close my eyes, my stomach turning. "It's ok Kel, almost done." I hear Nathan's voice over the speaker and I relax a little. 

A little while later the nurse comes back inside and helps me off of the bed. We walk out of the room to where Nathan and the doctor are looking at my scans. "All good." Doctor Matthews says and then switches off the screens. "That's it?" I ask and he nods. "So, am I going to be okay?" I ask and there's silence before he answers. "It's a long process Kelly, you have many more surgeries ahead of you before the tumour is fully gone. We got all that we could this time, but it is unpredictable as to what will happen. Just remember to take all your medication and come to surgeries and we shall see how everything goes closer to the end." He says and I nod. I was hoping he would tell me that everything went great and that I would be perfectly fine, that the tumour would go away but I should have known. He already told me before that there is no way of knowing what is going to happen to me so early but I still had some hope. 

"It is a good sign however that this surgery went well and we still got a bit of the tumour." He says and I thank him as Nathan leads me out of the room, back to the waiting area where the boys have gathered all of my things so that we can go home. I walked over to the reception desk to make my next appointment and sign a few papers. "Alright, your next surgery will be a month from now, same time. Don't forget." The woman says to me and I smile my thanks at her. Nathan takes my hand and we walk to the car in silence. "Everything is going to be fine Kel." Nathan says. "We'll be off then, got packing to do. But we'll visit you later Kel." Max says. I give each of the boys a hug. "Thanks guys, for being here." I say and they smile. Nathan opens the passenger door for me and helps me in the car. The rest of the boys drive past and I wave to them. Nathan starts the car and we drive home in silence. "Packing. You should probably do that too." I say after a while and Nathan looks at me. "There's still three more days before I leave, I can pack the night before." He says.

We arrive home just as my mom does and she stops what she is doing and runs over to the car, open my door and engulfing me in a hug before I can even get out of the car. "Hi mom." I say and she squeezes me tightly. "I'm so sorry I wasn't at the hospital much darling, I've had so many late nights at the office." She says. "It's fine, you'll have plenty more chances to be there." I say and I can see the sadness in her eyes. She helps me inside and sets me down on the couch, Nathan takes my things up stairs, coming back down a little while later with my medication. "When is your next surgery?" My mom asks. "A month from now." I say and she nods. "Though it would be sooner." She says. "I need lots of time to recover. But he says the rest will be about two to three weeks apart." I say and she nods. "Better to get them over sooner." She says and I nod, taking my tablets and cuddling next to Nathan on the couch.

"Do you think you'll be able to make it?" I ask him but he doesn't answer. "Nathan?" I say, looking up at him. "I don't know Kel. We'll be in New York and we might have a show but I haven't seen the show list yet, so I don't know." He says and I leave it at that.
