Walk on the Beach - R5 Fanfic

Chapter 70

I made my way to the hospital where Josh was. I knew he was still not awake but I just wanted to check on him. I haven't seen him since the first time I saw him.

I walked into the hospital calmly, going to his room. There was a nurse there, I didn't know what she was doing, but she looked up at me. I just half smiled at her, and she smiled back then left the room. She shut the door as she did.

I walked around to the other side of the room, laying my keys and purse down on a table. Then turning around to see Josh. He looked better. He wasn't quite as pale, he was still covered in bandages and medical equipment. It just hurt to see him like that. And to think that if I would have stayed with him in his house that day...one of us, or both of us could have been dead. The endless options of what could have happened that day.

I walked over to a chair in the corner of the room, grabbing it and bringing it to the side if his bed. I sat down and continued looking at him. I laid my hand over his, wishing that he had the ability to hold my hand back. But he didn't.

When he wakes up, he could have severe damage. He will never be the same Josh again, and there isn't anything I can do about that.

"I'm sorry this happened." I said to him, ignoring the fact that I was talking to myself. Some part of me hoped that he could hear me right now, so J continued to talk to him. "But you'll get better, I promise."

The nurse came back in, looking at me. "Miss I'm sorry but you'll have to leave soon." She said in an official tone.

"Oh, I'll be right out...I guess." I said starting to get up and move my chair back.

I switched my attention to the nurse who was turned around looking at Josh's medical documents and such. Then I looked back at him. Leaning over and quickly kissing his forehead. Not in a boyfriend kind of way, in a I'm so thankful for you way.

I smiled down at him for a moment, realizing that if he had made it this far, he will be okay. I know he will be up soon. I smiled at the nurse once more before leaving the room.

I drove home, carefully in the snow. It was hard to see but I managed to get

to my house safely. I decided to call Jenna, just because. I hadn't spoken to her in a while, and it's almost Christmas and it's supposed I be a jolly season. Not a walk around incredibly depressed season. I gained hope today, no exact reason why, but I gained some sort of hope...that everything that is wrong in my life right now, will become something better than I thought it ever could be.
