Blind - Team Crafted Fan-Fic

Diagnosed and Operation

A/N fun fact: Dr. Nathan Poles was actually my doctor in hospital when I had acid spilt on my hands and face!

JEROME'S POV

I woke up, curled up in a chair with my coat draped over me. Looking around, I saw Mitch sat there, holding Hart's hand.

'How is she?' I ask.

'Hey Biggums. She's still bleeding. But the doctors have sorted it out. Look.' He said, gesturing to her.

She had a breathing mask on and there were these things under her eyes, almost like sponges, catching the blood. Hart was asleep.

'How long has she been asleep?'

'Not long Biggums. Stayed up all night.' He smiled.

'When will the doctor be back?' I ask, walking over to Mitch.

'Soon I think. Not too sure.' He answers.

'What do you think is wrong?'

'I think there might be something in the brain. Possibly something acting weird.' He sighs, shuddering slightly.

'I thought that too.' I smile.

'This is why we are boyfriend and boyfriend.' He smiles.

Footsteps came in and we turned around, hoping for the doctor. But it was just Jason and Quentin. Close enough.

'Hey guys. didn't expect ya or we would have got you drinks.' I greet.

'Nah. We came to check up and got ya some breakfast. Everybody already ate.' Quentin said, handing us a McDonalds bag with some breakfast inside.

'Cheers.' We say.

At that moment, Hart awoke, still dopey and groggy from sleep.

'Hey Star. You alright?' Jason greeted.

'Jason? Wh...what's going on? My face feels weird and my eyes feel numb.' She complains.

'We are in the hospital. Remember, your eyes were burning?' I say kindly.

'Oh yeah...' She smiles.

It was now that I realised Hart was wearing a breathing mask. A pair of footsteps proceeds towards us, alerting us. Turning around, it was Dr. Poles. He came holding a clipboard, scribbling quickly down something onto the

board.

'Morning. I assumed you would be asleep. Well, I have the results.' He says, in his posh British accent.

'What is wrong with her?' Mitch asks, worried. I look at Hart who is anticipating the results.

'Well, there is something wrong in her brain. It's hard to explain. But she will require urgent surgery-' The nurse said and I hear Hart gasp. 'She is booked in for a few hours. Without the surgery, she will die.' He finished.

Hart's breathing sped up from shock. I held her hand and she calmed down.

'I will be back with a nurse at 11 o'clock. So, That's in four hours. I will see you later Hart.' He said and with that, he left.

'I...I don't want an operation!' She said, upset.

'You are going to be fine. We're here for ya.' I comfort and she smiles.

'Thanks.' She says sweetly.

'Wanna hear some good news?' Jason asks.

'Yeah!' She smiles.

'Captainsparklez is coming down here to visit! That's why you were woken up! He was coming to the house and said he'll come to the hospital to see ya!' He says and she looked so happy she might burst.

'Yay! And when I'm all better, he can meet Carrie!' She laughs.

'Yeah!' I agree.

We talk for half an hour when Jordan arrives.

'Hey! I'm Jordan, nice to meet ya!' He greets Hart and sticks out his hand.

'Hi! I'm Hart. Big fan and not ashamed to admit it!' she smiles.

Jordan retracts his hand confused slightly but smiles. 'Sorry to see ya like this. But at least I can meet the daughter of Mitch and Jerome.' He laughs.

'Yeah! Someone has to look after 'em!' she laughed.

'Nice contacts by the way.' Jordan compliments.

'Oh. They aren't contacts, I'm blind. These are the color they turned.' Hart shrugs.

'Sorry... I didn't-'

'Seriously! It's fine! I'm alright with questions.' She insists and Jordan sighs in relief.

We chat, laugh, joke and chill out until 11. Doctors came in to change the pads that acted as sponges for her blood for clean ones every hour. We were talking about a movie when Dr. Poles arrived, followed by another male nurse. We quietened down as he stood.

'It's time for your operation.' He said and Hart's happy face fell and was replaced with sadness and fright.

'Your family and friends can come but can't go into the operating theatre.' He said and we got off Hart's bed as she was rolled away by the nurse. We were close behind them.

Once we got to the ward, Hart was panicking.

'I...don't wanna go...' She said and Me and Mitch held her hands.

'We are gonna be right outside. Right here alright?' Mitch assured.

'Hart, this is going to make you go to sleep. It acts quickly so we can start.' Dr. Poles said getting the needle the nurse gave him.

As he injected it, Hart jumped slightly from the scratch both inserting and leaving her skin. Quite soon, she was bobbing her head ,feeling the effect of the drugs.

'We'll be waiting right here.' Jason smiled to her.

'See ya...in...a ...bit...' she said before she fell asleep and was taken away.

The wait was excruciating. I was pacing and we made small bursts of talk. We explained everything to Jordan; about Dawn, swapping roles and the adoption. In return, he told us about what he has been up to in his YouTube and general life. As the minutes passed, they totalled into a few hours.

'Sorry about all of this Jordan.' Mitch apologised.

'I don't mind. I know it mightn't have been practical but at least I get to see you guys and your daughter. She seems like a mini version of you two with a bit of Adam thrown in.' Jordan smiles.

'I guess so! Never really really realised.' I smile, feeling slightly better.

Mitch was sat with his foot tapping the floor. I sit next to him and put my arm around him in comfort.

'She'll be alright. Everything will turn out alright.' I smile and he looks at me.

'Thanks Jerome.' He smiles.

Then, the doors opened and Dr. Poles walked through. We all looked at him, awaiting what he was going to see.

'We are finished. She is in the monitor ward, under close observation. You are allowed to go see her. Bed number 13.' He said and we thanked him before going to see our daughter.

when we arrived, she was still asleep. Her face had been cleaned and she had a tube in her mouth for something I wasn't too sure of and her breathing mask. Her hair was messy but neat at the same time and she had a drip in her arm. Everybody seemed to have a sigh of relief as we sat down next to her. It was 3pm.

'At least she's alright.' I smile.

'Yeah. Thank God for that' Jason replies.

As the day went on, Me and Mitch never left whereas the others came In shifts. In the evening, I could see Mitch asleep. I lay my coat across him and he smiles. I give him a kiss on the forehead and sit back down again. Hart was still asleep when my eyes felt heavy. I tried to fight them but I lost and drifted off into a deep but uneasy sleep.
