Sleeping in Cars and Firefly Scars

~Warning. There is suicide mentioned towards the end of this chapter.~

Danny and I stood up and followed the nurse to Harriet's room. "She was banged up pretty bad. She won't look like how you remember her for a little while. Don't freak out when you see her." The nurse said opening the door. I put my hand over my mouth. She looked half dead.

She was laying in the bed. She had tube everywhere. One to help her breath. It was huge and it was running from in her mouth and to the machine it was hooked up too. There was an I.V. one in her arm. There were wires coming from her chest monitoring her vitals. "Bella. Breath." Danny said. I hadn't even realized that I wasn't breathing until this moment.

"She was hit pretty hard. The car was flipped and she was stuck in the seatbelt when the paramedics found her. We brought her in and immediately noticed that she had internal bleeding. We took her into divert to fix it immediately. We then did a brain scan to make sure she had no brain damage. She has a very bad concussion and her arm broke. She will be up and running hopefully very soon. She will be in bed rest for a few weeks and she will be wearing that cast for six to eight weeks." The nurse said to the two of you. "I will leave you all be now." The nurse said leaving the room. Closing the door behind her.

"Oh my god." I whispered. I walked over to the side of Harriets bed. Danny didn't move from in front of the door. I felt like if I touched her she would break. I gently grabbed her hand and sat in the chair that was next to the bed. "Harriet if you can hear me please come back to us. We all need you. I need you and even though I have only known you for a very short time I feel like I have known you forever. You are perfect in every way. I need your Harriet please come back to me." I kissed her hand as a tear rolled down my cheek.

I heard her couch. "Danny get the nurse." I said. "Hey baby." I said to her. She opened her eyes. More tears escaped my eyes. "Your awake." I said. The nurse walked into the room. "Move." She said. "I need you to not vomit when I do this okay." The nurse said to Harriet she nodded her head. The nurse slowly pulled the tub out of her throat. Harriet was a hacking mess when the tub was out of her throat.

I grabbed her hand again. "Hi." I said she looked at me. "Hi. I'm sorry for treating you how I did this morning." Harriet said. "Harriet you have been out for 24 hours it's the next day." I laughed. She looked shocked. "Wait that means tomorrow is Friday." Harriet said. "Yes it is. Danny is going to talk to the doctor now and see if it is okay if you do the news with me tomorrow. But Matt, Danny and some woman named Jordan are all saying that you won't be doing crazy christians tomorrow." I said to her. She looked heart broken. "I'm sorry Harriet." I said. "No it's okay. At least I still get to do the news." She smiled. I smiled to because her smile was contagious.

I heard the door closed. I knew then that Harriet and I were alone. Danny has just left to get y'all to Harriets doctor. "What was wrong yesterday morning?" I asked her. "Honestly?" She asked I shook my head yes. "I was mad at myself for liking a woman. I am a Christian. My bible says that being gay is a sin, but at the same time it doesn't. So I was confused and angry. I took it out on you and that wasn't right. I am sorry Bella." Harriet said. "If your confused about being with a woman I can step back, but you can't give me mixed signals." I said to her. "No don't step back." She used her good arm and grabbed my shirt collar pulling me in for a kiss.

"Okay wow." I said kissing her again this time. It felt like it only lasted for seconds. Meanwhile it was minutes. I heard Danny whistle. "Oh shut the fuck up." I said to Danny. I looked back at Harriet. God did I love this woman. "The doctor said yes to the new sketch but no crazy Christians." Danny said. "These are the discharge papers." He handed them to Harriet who signed them. "Okay danny go hand these in I am going to help Harriet get dressed." I said. "Here." Danny said to me handing me some clothes. "Jordan dropped these off ." Danny said leaving the room.
