Mollie and Aj• Their Strictly journey

16

Mollie's POV
It's the early hours of the next day. Thursday. Checking to see if there's news on Aj, I glance at my phone. Nothing.

Sighing, I look to my left. It goes me, Joe then Dianne. Joe is curled up in a ball on the chair and Dianne is in a similar position, however she looks more comfortable than Joe. Opposite us is Gemma. Her once shiny, golden hair is now looks more dull and is covered in dirt as it covers her tired face which is lay on the bed. Her hand is clasped into Gorka's as he lies silently in a coma. The only noise that can be heard is beeping of the machines.

I glance at my phone again hoping for at least a message. Still nothing. A noise is made beside me and I turn to Joe and Dianne waking up.
"Hey guys." Dianne says or more like whispers. She sits up, making herself comfortable once again. I smile back, too tired to voice a reply.
"Hey." This time Joe speaks. His thick Scottish accent can only just be heard.
"Any news on Aj, Mol?" I shake my head at Dianne's questions. She sighs. "Gorka?" I shake my head again.
"Since I've been awake which is about two hours, no doctor has come in." I say.
"A doctor might of came in whilst we were asleep."
"They said they would wake us Joe."
Dianne sighs again. I bet she didn't think her first Strictly tour would end up like this.

There's a slight awkward yet calming silence. After what seems like a few minutes, I speak up.
"How do you two think Gemma is holding up?"
There's another silence. This time, I can tell they're both thinking of their opinion.
"Being honest Mol. I'd say not very good." Dianne replies. I open my my mouth to speak but I'm stopped by the ringing of my phone.
"It's Chloe." I say, "I'll be back in a minute."

I walk outside of Gorka's rooms as I answer the call.

M: Hello?
K: Mollie? It's Karen. Chloe is with Aj.
M: How is he?
She sighs and hesitates and straight away I can it's not good news.
K: Mollie, I'm going to be brutally honest. He's not good. He's in a coma. They've looked at the scans and found some glass that still in his head. The doctor said that this could affect the brain damage. Depending on the extent of the damage, he might have to see a physiotherapist. I just thought you should know.
M: Thank you Karen. I'll let Joe and Dianne know.
K: How's Gorka?
M: He's in a coma as well. He collapsed last night.
Me, Dianne, Joe and Gemma are with him. Gem is still asleep though.
K: Well let's hope that both him and Aj will pull through.
M: I hope so. I'll speak later Karen.
K: okay bye darling.
M: Bye.

The call ends. My sight is blurred by tears. If Aj doesn't wake up, then my life is over. It seems dramatic but it will be over. Aj has kept me going in the recent months.
I need him.

Aj's POV
It is still dark. Nothing has changed. Not yet anyway. I can hear someone crying and someone talking. Someone has hold of my hand. I don't know who. I don't even know who's in the room. I try to squeeze the persons hand. Nothing. I try to open my eyes. Nothing. I feel tired. I try and squeeze the persons hand again. This time I succeed.

Someone says something about a doctor. That means I'm in a hospital. I hate hospitals. Most people know that it's my biggest fear. I slowly open my eyes. There's people in blue clothes surrounding me. Doctors. I try to get away but I can't. Behind them, I can see the door opening. I suddenly feel a sharp scratch on my arm. A needle probably. I can feel myself getting tired. I don't like this.

Chloe's POV
Me and Kevin find Karen near the entrance. As we walk up to her to tell her about Aj she beats us to it.
"Any news?"  I go to answer but nothing comes out my mouth. So Kevin speaks for me.
"He woke up. He hates hospitals so he was trying to get away. We're just giving him a minute."  He goes to stand with Karen against the wall. I stare down at the floor. Everything around me is going quiet and I feel faint. My vision goes blurry but everything goes back to normal when Kevin taps me on the shoulder. I look up at him but he only nods to something behind me. I turn my head to find someone who Aj will be glad to see. Curtis.
" Chlo? Are you ok?" I nod he gives me a hug as he asks, "How is he?" I shake my head. I zone out as Kevin once again gives Curtis the details.
"Shall we see him?" He asks.
"I'll take you to his room." I reply. We all walk inside and head towards Aj's room. We walk in and we're greeted by the weakest smile.

Heyyyyy it's been a while! I'm just going to apologise for all the Kevin, Karen, Chloe mentions. I'm sorry if you think it's too much but it's just going to be part of the story. There will be more chapters in Mollie's POV.
Enjoy!
