A Family At Last

Situations

We walk up to the visitor desk and asked a women if we could know what happening with Rain and Jerome. "Sure, what are their last names?" "Rain Clark and Jerome Smith." She started typing on her computer, "Okay, I will tell their doctors to come and talk to you." She smiles and waves us to sit down in the waiting room.

Ian takes my hand. "I'm going to go clean up, you should probably do the same." He looks down at our hands, they are coated in blood. He nods, "Good call, I'll see you in a few minutes." he kisses my forehead and walks to the bathroom.

While in the bathroom I notice how bad I actually look. My face is puffy from crying so much, my hair is all messy and I am covered in sweat and blood. I look down and see that I've gained a little weight too. I need some new clothes. I wash up all that I could and walk to the visiting lady and ask her if they have any extra clothes, for me and Ian.

She hands me a baggy sweatshirt, some good fitting jeans and sandals; the same for Ian. I knock on the guys bathroom door, "It's occupied." I smile, "It's just me. I have some clothes for you to change into." He opens the door and I hand him the clothes. "Thanks, I really need a extra pair of clothes right now." I nod, "Me too, I'm going to go change." I smile and walk towards the girls bathroom.

I walk out of the girls bathroom with new clothes on and throw away the others. I don't need to be reminded of what happened. Ian beat me out to the waiting room and stood up when Jerome's doctor came over. "Hello, I am Dr. Koopman, Jerome's doctor." He shook both of our hands, " I understand that you two want to know what Jerome's situation is?" We nod.

"Jerome has a minor concussion. and some bruised ribs." Ian lets out a breath of relief. "But we'll need to keep him here for one more night, just to make sure that he is okay." "What do you mean okay? You said he had a minor concussion and some bruised ribs and that he was fine." I hold Ian's hand and try to make him calm down. "Oh no, I didn't mean it like that. I meant that we have to make sure his blood pressure is good and have some more x-rays made." Ian looks down, "When can we see him?"

We walk into Jerome's room, he is awake. "Hey, how are you feeling?" I walk towards his bed. "Well my head hurts, my stomach aches and I'm not allowed to see Rain." I look at him. "We don't even know how she is... A doctor was supposed to come and tell us how she was but he never showed up." I sigh. "I hope she's okay..." I tilt my head up, tears are filling my eyes, making my vision blurry.

Ian wraps his arms around me and tears start rolling down my cheeks. Jerome puts his hand on my back, trying to comfort me. "Shh, it's okay. She'll be fine. Shh, Shh." I jog into Jerome's bathroom and start to puke. "Do you want some alone time?" I nod, "Do you want me to shut the door?" I nod again and he shuts the door. I breath, in and out, in and out. Ian and Jerome talk quietly.
