Moving In

Chapter 9: What happened?

For what I had seen he had fallen down to the bottom of the pool.Anyone could fall In The pool and not get hurt.Bit he fell backwards.His head hitting the ground at impact,I had to look away,it was as if the whole world had stopped and looked at each other .The whole world froze and everyone looked at me.They probably thought it was me who pushed him,I looked at my hands I hadn't pushed him,but no one would surely believe me.

Lexie ran over and started dialling 999.She was having trouble to breath as she held the phone to her ear.Her hands shaking as someone finally answered."hello um...my friend he has hit is head really bad and is at the bottom of the pool,but someone is going to get him out of there"
The ambulance crew told us to get him out of the pool so that when they got there they could get him to the hospital straight away.I couldn't breathe as I stared down at the bottom of the pool.My heart was beating really fast.Joe,Ollie and some other guys from the party were pulling Josh carefully out the pool as they pulled him out onto the lawn.My heart stopped he was blue with coldness and lay there still for what seemed like forever.He also had blood dripping from his head as everyone looked over him in silence.
Waiting and waiting and waiting....
A few moments later the ambulance crew arrived and I sighed a look of relief and they started to lift him up into the ambulance.
Lexie looked at me worried."Did you push him" she said whispering
I looked at her,why would she even think that."No I didn't he was backing towards the end of the pool and fell in I did not touch him at all" I explained it was like I was being interrogated by the police."The police will have to question you though you do realise that." " I know but all I am going to tell them is the truth,that I didn't push him and it was not me,I know everyone may not believe but I'm not as brutal as that" I say looking at her wide eyed.

*one hour later (At the hospital)*
I walked down the hallways the hospital the crying of little children fill my ears and squeaking shoes on the linen floor for the nurses rushing about the hospital looking at me as I make my way down to room 89.I look through the window where Josh is asleep on the bed his head wrapped in a big bandage and blood and scratches all over his face.I carefully shut the door behind as I walk in,he looks so peaceful just asleep there,a nurse comes in smiling at me."oh you must be his friend" she says looking up at me."yes I am" I say looking worryingly at him now."I have some news..." she says in a quiet tone now.She traces her finger over notes for a few minutes before she looks up at me.The fact she says it so slowly worries me,more about what might happen to him.
"He fell hard on his head,and this,could lead to some serious problems" she said in a concerned tone. "He has only got a small survival rate" she finally bursts out with it.The tears streaming down my face,I look at him and kiss him on the head even though he is still asleep.

"We will take him into surgery tonight but sometimes complications can occur" she said trying to stay neutral and calm like doctors do.I looked at her and the at Josh.After that I sat down at his beside and found myself falling asleep in the chair next to his bed.When I wake up he is gone and I am the only one in the room.He must have gone into his operation already I thought to myself.I look at my phone it is 9:06 at night.i yawn as I look out the window.

*after the operation*
I stare at josh as he lays there he must be sleepy from the anaesthetic.All of a sudden his eyes flicker open.he looks at me and around the room in bewilderment,"you feeling better" I say to him as I pull my chair closer to his bed."yea apart from the banging headache I feel fine" he said looking straight at me."Just so you know,I didn't push you in the pool" I say looking up at him slowly."I know I was so angry that I backed towards the edge of the pool myself" he looked at the nurses walking by the room very so often.Suddenly his piercing blue eyes stared at me." You know I can't believe people would think you pushed me into the pool;and I'm sorry if I got really angry at you for kissing Joe,I mean it was only a game of spin the bottle and nothing else,I wouldn't mind going on another date with you,Mia" He looked at me and held my hand.I looked up at him,"I love you Mia" he smiled at me as I sat there awkwardly.I was speechless and didn't know what to say.I really did like Josh,and I loved his personality,and in a way I would want have a connection with him.I finally said it...
" I feel the same way Josh" I said as I kissed him.it was as if the whole world had stopped.Why did I even like Joe when I was really in love with Josh.As I pull away from the kiss.Josh looks at me and twirls my hair in his hand.
The nurses come in with his results,"Good news,your head injury is minor and you only really need to take lots of rest,as the operation was a success" the nurse with red hair says cheerily.He pulls me into a hug and we stay there for a while.This will be the new chapter of life,and for once I'm happy,with my choice.
