For Diamonds And Gold (kellic)

chapter 2

beep. beep. beep.

I could hear the noise but I had no idea where It was coming from. It was dark and quiet apart from that incessant beeping noise. I tried to open my eyes but they felt heavy, what the fuck is happening? Why aren’t my eyes opening? I tried again to open them and it worked, for like a split second. I saw a flash of light before I was took back into the darkness. Come on!

I tried again to open my eyes but as soon as I did, I was blinded by the brightness that was around me. Fuck! I lifted my arm to try and rub my eyes but hit myself in the face with something hard instead. What the hell is happening? I finally managed to get my eyes open without blinding myself, I looked down at my hand and saw a white cast covering it. Why Is my hand in a cast? I looked around me and saw I that was In a white room, small and almost empty apart from an empty chair beside my bed and a weird machine thing which the beeping was coming from. Holy shit I’m in a hospital! But why?

I frowned and then slowly my frown began to disappear from my face, a look of pain replacing it as my eyes blurred with the tears that rolled down my cheeks slowly. I choked back a sob as I slowly started to remember what had brought me here, Vic. How could they do that to me? I felt my heart drop as all the events of that night came rushing back to me, too quick for me to handle as a wave of loud uncontrollable sobs fell out of my mouth. Oh god, Vic! I let myself cry out loud, I was alone, I had nobody with me and I was In so much pain.

Why Is this happening? Why did it all have to happen? I felt my heart break for the second time as I cried, I was finding it hard to breath with all the crying and it caused the machine beside my bed to beep quicker. I lay my arm across my eyes and closed them just as a nurse came rushing into the room, I heard her calling my name and asking me if I was okay but I couldn’t concentrate on her right now. All that was filling my mind was Vic and how he betrayed me, I couldn’t stop crying, It was like a tap had been turned on but then got stuck so you couldn’t close it again.

The nurse stopped trying to talk to me and I was grateful that I was finally alone but then a hand pulled away my arm from across my eyes and I struggled to tell who it was through the tears, it looked like my mom but I wasn’t sure. The person sat on the edge of my bed and pulled me close to them, I buried my head in their warm chest and clung to their clothes as I cried out my pain. A hand was stroking my back soothingly and It only made me cry harder until I felt like I couldn’t cry anymore. My loud sobs had now become quiet whimpers as I felt my eyes closing shut from exhaustion, my body was drained from all the crying and I needed to rest it to regain more energy so I let myself go and drifted of into a well needed sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I awoke for the second time that day in a dark room, the same beeping noise filling the quiet air as I looked around slowly. I was still kind of tired and I could tell my eyes were puffy, a clear sign that I’d been crying. I sat up slowly and winced at the pain that shot through the left side of my body, I pulled up my white hospital gown and bite my lip when I saw the bandaged covering my body. I lightly pressed a finger where It hurt the most and hissed when I felt pain run through my body, I wander what happened there.

I sighed and sat In the quiet for a while just thinking, even if I wanted to, I couldn’t cry anymore. I felt numb like I’d ran fresh out of tears from earlier and now all that was left was this painful numb feeling.

The door opened and the room was flooded with light, a nurse came in smiling at me. I recognised her as the same nurse from before when I had been crying.

"Glad to see you looking better, Kellin" she smiled as she fiddled with the beeping machine.

"How are you feeling?" she turned to me and gave me a look of concern.

"Okay, I guess" I replied, I noticed my voice sounded a bit weird but I didn’t exactly know why. "What happened to me?" I asked the nurse

"Oh, erm… you don’t remember?" she frowned and I shook my head no, I mean I remembered a few things. What Vic and Kailey did, how I had ran out to the car but it was just a bit of a blur after that.

"Only a few things…" I licked my awfully dry lips as she gave me a sad smile.

"You were in a car crash" she said softly, my eyes widened at what she had said. I was in a car crash? But how?

"How?" I asked "What happened?"

"I’m not really sure whether I should tell you or not" she said nervously, "It’s not really my job you see"

I was about to open my mouth and ask her if she could tell me anyway but was interrupted by the door opening and who I assumed to be the doctorentered the room.

"Kellin!" he smiled "Good to see you awake, I’m doctor Worsnop. Jenna, you can leave now your assistance is no longer required"

I looked at the nurse who’s name I now knew as Jenna, she glared at the doctor before leaving and shutting the door behind her.

"So how are you feeling?" the doctor asked, he was kind of short and had a beard that looked ginger-brown and a British accent that sounded good to hear.

"Okay" I told him "How did I get into that car crash?"

"You drove straight through a red light" he said, walking towards me and pulling down my gown slightly to place his stethoscope on my chest.

"A truck was coming in from the left and I assume there wasn’t enough time to turn so it collided right into your car"

He wrote something down on his clipboard and smiled. “you seem to be doing okay, can you tell me the date please?” he asked

I frowned, what is the date? Last I remember it was tuesday? Friday? I have no idea.

"Wednesday 5?" I guessed and the doctor frowned.

"No, Kellin do you know how long you’ve been asleep for?" He asked and I felt my heart beat faster. What does he mean by that? Wasn’t I just in the car crash yesterday? two days ago even?

"H-how long?" I asked warily as my voice shook.

"Kellin, I’m afraid you’ve been in a coma for a little over a month now"

I’d completely stopped breathing now. A month?! I’ve been in a coma for over a month? But how? What the fuck? what?

"W-what? But I swear I was only…" I trailed off as I spoke mostly to myself. This can’t be right, so that means that Vic cheated on me over a month ago.

"Where’s my mom?" I asked, I don’t really know why I asked for her, I just wanted to see a familiar face to help me make sense of everything.

"Your mother was here earlier but left and went home to rest but your fiancée is here, he hasn’t left since he came here" Dr.Worsnop smiled "I had to have one of my nurses persuade him to go home and rest everyday and even then he left for a few hours before coming straight back again"

Vic? Vic was here? But why? Why would he be here of he didn’t love me anymore?

"Would you like me to get him for you? I’m sure your dying to see him"

"No! Don’t" it almost killed me to say this but l wasn’t ready to see him yet, I didn’t want to be reminded of the pain especially since I’ve been in a coma it’s still very raw to me.

"I-I don’t want him here, I don’t want to see him" my eyes filled with tears but I refused to cry, not anymore, not in front of the doctor anyway.

"Can you tell him to leave please? And if he comes again then don’t let him see me, I don’t want him visiting me at all"

"Are you sure?" the doctor asked sounding nervous, he probably thought I was being unreasonable but I didn’t care.

I nodded my head and just when he was about to leave I stopped him.

"If my sister comes, Kailey, tell her to fuck off as well" I couldn’t stop the harshness that came from my mouth, I was angry now, I hated them both for doing this for making me feel this way.

Dr.Worsnop raised his eyebrows in shock at my language but nodded his head anyway and left the room.
