Part 5

Tom’s POV

I walk into the room and now I do start crying. She looks so small and fragile just lying there. I pull up a chair and sit besides the bed, so that I can hold her hand. I notice that her fringe has parted slightly in the middle. She would hate that. So I gently move it back into place, before taking her hand once again.

“Rebecca.” I say and choke a bit at the end. “I’m so sorry.” The tears are flowing now and they won’t stop, but once again I don’t care. “I’m sorry that I wasn’t there to look after you. I’m a crap big brother. But you’re going to do as you’re told and you’re going to get better.” It’s getting harder to talk now, but I have to keep going, there is a slim chance that she can hear me. “You’re going to move in with me and the rest of the boys, so that I can take care of you properly. And we’re going to get through this together. I promise.” That’s when it all gets too much, I let go of her hand and hold my head, and just cry.

Rebecca’s POV

I can hear Tom talking to me, and I want to say something back I jut can’t remember how to move my mouth. I don’t want him feeling bad none of this is his fault. But why would I move in with him? He’s always away with the band; I’ll stay living with mum and dad. He is a weird one, my brother, good job I love him really. Suddenly he starts crying, really crying, and I can’t stand to listen to that, he’s the strong one.

“Don’t tell me what to do Thomas!” I try to say, but it comes out more of a whisper. Thankfully he heard me though.

“Rebecca?”

“Who else would it be? You doughnut.” I begin to laugh, but end up coughing instead. God that hurts.

“Thank god! I’m so glad your okay.” He reaches over and gives me a massive hug, and I can tell that he meant every word of what he just said to me.

“I’m just going to get a Doctor; I’ll be back in a minuet.”

“Tom, where’s mum and dad?” I ask as he is walking out of the room. He doesn’t answer and then he is gone. Is it just me or did he pause ever so slightly when I said that? No, he can’t have heard me. I was the one right by the fire after all, and I’m okay, so they must be too.

Lottie’s POV

“Max!” I shout as we arrive at the hospital, and I see him standing outside having a cigarette. I run up to him and jump into his arms. We hold each other tightly, and he makes me feel so safe. 

“Hey you two.” He says to me and Anne.

“Hey Max. Where’s Tom?”

“”He’s sitting with Rebecca, he didn’t want me around. I’m sure he would love to see you though.”

“Thank you.” She says before walking in the hospital. I turn back to Max, and we just hold each other. It’s times like these that really make you appreciate what you have. I can remember when I first met him, and I never dreamed that six months later we would be a couple. I mean back then I was just a fan and he was Max George. It is proof that miracles can happen, and that is why I will never give up praying for Rebecca until she is well again.

   Anne’s POV

Why do hospitals have to be so big and confusing? I must have asked for directions about a million times now, and I’m still no better off. Suddenly someone runs into me, maybe this person will be able to help.

“I’m so sor... Anne!”

“Tom!” I shout, before holding him tightly.

“Anne, she just woke up! I’m going to find a Doctor now.”

“That’s great news! How is she?” He takes my hand and we begin walking back the way I came.

“She’s in pain, but she’s well enough to make fun of me.”  I smile at him.

“That’s great.”

“yeah but, when I was leaving she asked about mum and dad. Anne how am I meant to tell her that?” He starts crying again, as we stop walking so that I can hold him tightly.

“Babe, you don’t have to, I will.” I say and I really mean it. It will be hard enough for me to find the words, it would be almost impossible for him.

“I can’t ask you to do that.”

“You don’t have too, I’m telling you I will. Now let’s find this Doctor and get back to her.” He manages a small smile, before we start walking again.

We found the Doctor and he came to check that everything was fine. He gave Rebecca a little more morphine to help with the pain; he then left saying how he couldn’t believe that she was doing so well, so soon.  I guess hearing someone you love in pain, can make you do almost anything to help them. We are now all sat around the bed just talking about random things, but I can see that she is getting curious, I need to tell her.

“Tom why don’t you go and find Lottie and Max and tell them the good news?”

“Anne, I can’t let you do this.” I look him in the eyes before saying;

“Tom, I want too. Now go and tell the others, they will be so happy.

“Thank you.” He says while letting out a deep breath. “I love you so much.”

“I love you too.” He gives me a quick kiss before leaving the room. I take one deep breath then turn to look at Rebecca...
