Love That Hurts

Love that hurts: Chapter 10

-Daniels POV:-

Have you ever felt so helpless that it hurts?

That’s how I feel, looking down at the lifeless body of Gabriella.

Her skin so white and her lips so blue.

It is one of the worst sights I’ve ever witnessed.

"Daniel!"

My mother’s screams pull me out of a trance, a trance where I feel numb.

I blink a few times before averting my gaze towards my panic-stricken mother.

"T-the ambulance is on the w-way Mum. W-will she be o-okay?" Troy’s stumbles into the room, worry etched in his tone and posture.

 "

Yes, now go look after your younger siblings Tro-"

"No! I will not leave her!" he screamed.

Actually coming to terms with what’s going on, I immediately react on impulse and reach to take Gabriella out of the bath.

I immediately flinch at the way her once warm body is now freezing cold.

"Mum, get blankets ready!" I scream at my mom.

My mom immediately runs into Gabriella’s room and starts gathering blankets.

I take Gabriella into the room and begin to take her wet clothes off.

"Ga-Gabriella? Please wake up baby, I’m so sor-"

"The ambulance is here" Troy interrupts.

I pull on a pair of nightclothes on Gabriella that my mum layout. By the time I was done, the emergency team had brought up a gurney, in which they begun placing Gabriella on.

"Mum, I’ll go with Gabriella to the hospital; you stay home with the kids"

My mom went to speak when troy spoke up.

"No! I’m coming with you. Mum can stay with the little ones but I’m going!"

None of us argued when the emergency team started moving Gabriella out of the room.

-.-.-.-.-.-

It is currently 2:50 in the morning, yet there was no information on Gabriella. We had been waiting for more than 4 hours, yet no news. Troy was sitting in a chair, tapping his left foot on the floor and rubbing his hand together. A habit of when he is scared, worried or nervous. At the moment, scared was the predominant feeling we both shared. Scared in case Gabriella never wakes up, scared that we will never see her beautiful grey eye again, and scared that we will never see her smile. Scared that the doctor will come out telling us we've lost her. I couldn’t help but pace around, the worry and anxiety eating away at me. Mum continuously kept ringing for any news but to be honest I didn’t want to respond. It was my entire fault she was here in the first place. If only I could have let things go and move on. But no! Stupid me didn’t and now? Gabriella may be on her death bed. All because of me!

"Hi, is this the family of Gabriella?"

I and Troy immediately jumped up at the name of Gabriella, looking expectantly at the doctor whose gaze was going from his paperwork to us.

"Yes, how is she? Is she okay?"

"Well we’ve stabilised her for now but with the way this has happened, we are worried about the mental state of Miss.Fenton. We are worried about her state and in turn are going to have to run some tests on her once she wakes up. For now we wait" he finished what he was saying and went back into Gabriella’s room.
