Give Me Life

Part 40

*Astons point of view*

Every second that ticked by was a second closer to seeing Amelia again, I really did believe she would make it through the operation, I knew she was a fighter, and whether she remembered me or not at the end of it, I just warned her to be ok, and be happy. My feelings really didn't come into it anymore.

'Seems like we've been waiting for forever right' Ian sighed, it was just the two of us waiting in the relatives room and now mid morning. Amelia was taken down for the operation little over 5 hours ago, and we hadn't received any sort of update. The atmosphere so tense you could cut it with a knife, we knew it was going to take a long time, but actually sitting here waiting was killing us both.

'We have been' I replied

'You really care about her don't you?'

'More than you can imagine...' I sighed, thinking about everything that had happened. Just over a week since the concert and we got back together, and now she didn't even know who I was and it was all my fault, I'd caused this accident.

'Hello, I've just come to let you know that the operation was a success, We managed to remove the blood clot without damaging any of the surrounding area. We did have to shave some of her hair where the surgical site is and she will have a nasty scar where the stitches are, but the hair will grow back over it. She's in recovery now, we won't be able to tell if all the confusion was due to the clot or if it was further damage until she wakes up' one of the surgeons informed us

'And when will that be?' I asked

'Hopefully soon, she's in recovery now where they will wake her up slowly, stabilise her before bringing her back onto a ward. We will be moving her to intensive care just because of the nature of the operation, so you could take all her stuff over there and wait on the ward'

'Ok thank you doctor'

We did as they said and soon gathered together all of Amelia's stuff from her cubicle and carried it over to the intensive car unit that was just opposite, desperately hoping that she wouldn't be too long and that everything would turn out ok.

Waiting in the cubicle ready for her, my heart began to pound through my chest as she was wheeled in, fast asleep.

'Amelia...Amelia darling, it's dad' Ian said gently to her, stroking her forehead. I stayed well out of the way sat In a chair in the corner. She slowly flickered open her eyes and stared at him

'Is it all over...?' She sniffed

'Yes...all finished...'

'Is Aston here?'

'You know who I am?' I paced to her bed side

'Yeah I remember...' She said tears in her eyes pulling me closer as I kissed her lips softly. My girl was back...
