Not Alone: A Starkid Fanfiction

Chapter Eighteen

I stood in the hospital Hallway. I couldn't bear all the waiting, I just wanted to know that Ellas okay.
I went back to the waiting room and rejoined her family.
"Hey I'm sorry" I said explaining myself.
"Its okay Joey, we're all worried". I took a seat and Alex came and sat beside me.
"Joey" She said "Will Ella be okay?".
I didn't know what to say to her. She was only young, but I add to remain positive.

"Yeah, she will be, I know she will".
She put her arms around me and I hugged her tight. We were both scared.

After what felt like forever a doctor came in.
"Youre Ellas family right?" She asked.
"Yes" Her father answered.

"Well Ella has just come out of the operating theatre, she had two broken ribs and a few cuts and bruises, but the worst of the damage was done to her legs, presumably she landed on them when she fell, and a lot of there bones were shattered along with torn muscles and damage to her nervous system. We don't don't know what this means until she wakes up, Although we tried the best we could,  it is possible that she may never walk again".

My heart shattered, she may never walk again! And it would all be my fault.  I shouldn't have been so stubborn, I love Ella, why couldn't I just forgive her, what's wrong with me.

The doctor spoke again "You can go and see her if you want, but she is still unconscious".

"Yes we will"
"She's in that room over there".

I followed her family into the room. Alex took my hand and held it tightly. I looked at Ella. She looked so fragile.  Her parents rushed to her side.
"My little angle" her mom whispered. 
A tear rolled down Alexs face. "I don't like this" She whispered turning around and leaving the room.
  I followed her out. She stood outside the door, tears rolling down her eyes. I knelt down to her.
"Joey it's so scary" She said crying. 
"I know it is, but we have to be strong okay, for Ella"
"Youre so brave joey".
"We both are brave, but we have to be hopeful, Ella will be okay. As long as we're strong".

I told Alex to be strong but I wasn't sure how I could do it.

We reentered the room, I went beside Ella and took her hand.
"We'll give you a moment" her family said leaving the room and shutting the door.

"Ella I promise that no matter what happens I'm going to be here, no matter what. What ever you need, I'll be here. I promised that I would never hurt you again, and here we are, this is all my fault and I feel horrible for it. Ella I love you so much! I love you..".
Tears were streaming down my face. I lifted her hand and kissed it gently.

"I love you too" a weak voice said.
I looked up.
"Ella" I whispered.
"I love you joey".
"I love you more than anything in the world".

"So you forgive me then" She said softly "of course I do".

Her parents came back into the room, followed by a nurse.

"Ms Harris" The nurse said "Glad to see you awake".
"Oh honey thank goodness" her mum sighed.

"How are you feeling Ella?" The nurse asked. "Sore but coming around" Ella smiled slightly. "I think that Ella needs her rest".
"She's right" Ellas mum said "We should go".

Each member of her family hugged and kissed Ella before saying their good byes.

"Nurse?" Ella asked.
"Yes Ms Harris".
"Would it be okay if joey stayed for another while".
"Well I guess, but you do need your rest".

"Are you sure you want me to stay?" I asked.
"Yeah I do, I think we need to talk" She said softly "Im really sorry joey about Darren, he means nothing to me".
"Ella" I laughed "I don't care, as long as you're safe I'm happy".

After half an hour of chatting I was forced to leave. It was four o'clock in the night. I realised that all my things were still at the college, In the theatre. I had no phone, no money and I was still dressed like Ron Weasley.

I asked at the reception if I could use a phone. I thought of who I could call. I thought about who lived nearby and I realised that the only number I knew off was Darrens.  I typed in his number. It rung for a moment before a sleepy voice answered.
"Hello..?".
"Hey Darren? It's me joey".
"Joey? Man what's going on?".
"Could you pick me up I'm at the hospital?".
"Hospital? What happened?!".
"It's Ella".
"Bro what happened to Ella?! I'm coming right over!".
He hung up and I started walking towards the main entrance of the hospital.
