Toxic Love

Family feuds

Muffled voices, that's all I could hear. I tried to focus on them, work out who they are? What there saying? My head hurt, scrap that the pain in my head was indescribable. I tried to lift my arm to rub my head, that hurt too and I couldn't seem to co ordinate the movement. Erghhh what's going on. Voices, focus on the voices Emma. Muffled mumbling, that's it.

I try to open my eyes but they feel so heavy and I'm slightly glad, knowing the pain to my head would increase once they opened and were subjected to light. I'm feeling frustrated, I can't even seem to move my neck. I feel anxiety rising and I start to panic. Why can't I move properly. I become aware of a beeping to my right, it's getting louder and quicker as I feel my anxiety increase.

"Help" I muffled out in a hoarse whisper.

"Em, thank god are you ok chick?"

It's T. Just from hearing her voice I feel calmer. Hang on a minute though why is T here at Mark and Loz's. I try and think, my head hurts too much to make any sense of it. I need T to help me, I need to let her know I can't move. Maybe get her to get me something for my head, we can work out why she's here later.

"T hurts bad" is all I managed to mumble out and I'm so annoyed with myself. Why can't I speak properly, my head oww.

"Open your eyes chick" T coaxes.

Not likely I think to myself snorting and T must realise this as I hear her sigh in frustration.

"Princess come on open them beautiful eyes" another male voice coaxes.

Uncle Tel pops into my head. Don't worry princess I've got you...

Just like that everything comes flooding back, Toby, Jamie, Jax, uncle Tel. My eyes fly open, it hurts and they're blurry. Every second my focus becoming clearer, searching out the person I need. My breathing has spiked and I'm desperately looking round at all the many familiar faces. Not seeing his.

"Jax" I croak out.

T shares a look with Tel. "Hey chick calm down, he's here. We sent him out for a smoke. He's barely left your side for the last few days" she tells me whilst grabbing my hand gently.

I feel a bit calmer, the pain is still there but knowing Jax is safe is my priority right now. I notice everyone filing out of my room. T is still holding my hand and Tel is accross the room leaning by a window. I take a few seconds to realise I was in a hospital, my hospital by the looks of things.

My thoughts are confirmed as my boss walks in. "I heard you finally woke up Emma, you gave us a scare there. How are you feeling? Do you have any pain? If you had wanted a few extra days off, you know you should of just asked. No need to throw yourself down a flight of stairs" Delia says with a twinkle in her eye.

I know Delia is only joking but I finally face the reality and look down at my body, one leg is in a cast. As are both of my arms and my neck is being restricted by a brace. My chest feels sore but not as much as my head. Right now that's the thing that's hurting the most, it feels as though it could cave in.

Delia, Tel and T are watching me do my body sweep, Tel looking angry, T looks upset and Delia calmly stands there looking at me expectantly.

"My head, the pain is too much" I tell her.

She nods and leaves the room. There's a commotion and I hear foot steps running from the corridor outside my room. Finally Jax runs through the door of my room and I finally break down. Tel and T leave the room and I choke on mumbled sobs as I take in the appearance of Jax. First thing I notice is he looks how I feel, like crap. Looks like he's been fighting too. His face has obvious sign of cuts and bruises but after a quick check I see that thankfully Jax is all in one piece.
