Turning Point (A Reaching Out Novel)

Chapter Forty-One

Harry's Perspective

After a few moments, the troops arrived at took David away.

Which made me breathe a little.

Just a little.

Allana just lay back down and breathed heavily.

Kate drank a bottle of water.

William just stood there; trying to absorb what was going on.

" That was unexpected. " I said.

Allana frowned.

" Holy shit! " she said.

" What?" I said

Everybody's eyes was on Allana.

" Brad, do you remember the time of the accident back in Abbey Road, years ago? The one with Jack?" Allana asked.

He nodded.

" I described a lady who turned off my respirator, remember? Ponytail and black bow clip?" Allana said

"And I told you that you just described Carmela. "

Allana nodded.

" You think she tried doing this before? " I said.

" Yes. "

Then we turned the telly on.

And Carmela's face were on every channel.

There was William Bassingthwaighte, interviewed, and all he could say was; and I quote -" No comment."

" Pathetic. " Allana said.

" You still hate him?" Kate asked.

" Yes." Allana said.

Allana frowned, and lowered her bed a little.

" I need to rest. " Allana said.

Then she slept.

" We need to increase security of the whole hospital, have Allana and Brad's room have a security and a security measure, have a list of persons who could enter the rooms. " William said.

" Yeah. " I said, and it was all I could say.

At about 8 in the evening, the security was tightened, the list was passed and Will and Kate were on their way home, I stayed with Allana.

" I can't believe it, how could she do this?" Allana said.

" I really have no idea. I don't know. All I know is I hate her for it. "

" Do you think she caused almost all of my accidents?"

" It is possible. "

" I just don't understand why would she do this. "

I sighed.

" How are you feeling?" I said.

" Shattered. I knew her my whole life, and now, I discover that she wants me dead, for a long time now. "

" Okay, how are you feeling? I mean, physically. "

" Oh, I wanna go home tomorrow. "

" Do you feel that you could go home tomorrow?"

" Yeah. "

I lay down the couch, ready for bed.

" Hon, could you sleep next to me? Right here on the bed?" Allana asked.

" What?"

She moved aside, making space for me.

" Sleep next to me. "

" Okay. "

I stood up, walked to her bed, slide off the railing, sat on the bed and slid back the railings.

" Ow. " she said.

" What?"

She winced.

" You're squishing my IV. "

" Oh, shit. "

I sat up, left the bed.

" Why don't we just switch places?"

" Yeah, " she fixed her IV " that's a good idea. "

And then we're settled.

" Better?" I asked while putting an arm on her, and she rested her head on my chest.

" Much better. "

" I love you. "

" I love you too. "

I kissed her.

Then we drifted off to sleep.
