And Then I Found You

Just for Now

Rushing through the hospital hallways Johnny didn't stop for no one. He had a face of iron and eyes hard as steel. He was mad, more then that he was frightened. No one told him Helena had collapsed again, no one had bothered ringing him! He was fuming, at everyone right now and mostly at himself. He knew this was all his fault he knew she must have collapsed again after he walked out and for that he could throw his fist through a wall in anger. Why had he been so bloody careless! why had he been so thoughtless. He knew his wife's condition! He should never have left the way he did.

Speeding down the hallway Johnny didn't stop when nurses tried stopping him. He knew he was making a scene by my god! he was gonna make one. He'd sue this damn hospital for not contacting him! He'd sue everyone!

"Mr Depp..." A nurse called in panic as he stomped down the corridor not having a clue where he really was heading.

"Mr Depp!" she ran after him before seeing him whiz round and stare at her with his glaring brown eyes. "Where's my Wife!" he barked, eyes flashing.

"I can't...."

"Where is she!" he yelled again at the young nurse who cowered slightly from his outburst.

"Mr Depp.." A sudden low voice echoed down the hallway making him look to see Helena's private doctor approach them with nothing but irritation in his eyes as he made his way over to his patients unworldly husband. The old man looked at the young nurse and smiled politely at her "It's alright Liz, I'll take it from here" he said softly letting the nurse excuse herself before scurrying back down the hallway.

Turning back to the film star Dr Fields hushed him with his hand before speaking "No one contacted you, because we were under strict orders by your wife that she didn't want you here..." Dr Fields wasn't a man to beat around the bush, he'd give it to you fair and square without any morose. He could see why Helena like him. Johnny stared blankly not to mention shocked and annoyed by what he had just heard. Helena could have lost her life for all he knew and yet she still didn't want him knowing, what was going on? what was she playing at here?

"What happened?" he spoked steadily now as he looked at the grey haired doctor.

The man sighed heavily before taking Johnny's arm and guiding him into a room that looked to be a waiting room of some sort. The pair of them sat down and Johnny at the moment could feel his palms become sweaty with fear of what her doctor may have to say on the matter. He was scared.

"Nell found your wife collapsed outside her bedroom door, her daughter told me that you left her...in quite a state I may add...I'm not pointing fingers but I need you to be aware of just how critical your wife's condition is..." Dr Fields explained.

"I know her condition..." Johnny cut in before being cut off straight away by the doctor. 

"Do you!...do you really have any idea how much her life is in danger here! because if you did I don't think you would have left!" He practically hissed at him.

Johnny dropped his gaze at that. It wasn't only his palms that were beginning to sweat now.

"We had to operate again, and I'm going to be blunt with you now Johnny...She was close to losing her life" again the pit of his stomach twisted with guilt. 

"We were lucky enough to save her but her heart is still so weak. She has Coronary Artery Disease which means her heart cannot get the oxygen-rich blood cells it needs...She has stopped smoking but that has been the main cause of this blockage to her airways over the years, We have done all we can but the only way she can recover now is to change her way of life, she has started that by quitting smoking but she still is inhaling tobacco through other people...I know you two live extravagant lives but if you attend a party were people are smoking be sure to keep her away from that toxic air" the doctors overload of information was making Johnny have his one heart failure just listening to all of this.
