A Second Chance | Fadie

Chapter 1

The Visit

Sadie's POV

Cold salty tears roll down my cheeks as I walk through the hospital doors. It's currents ‪11:45pm‬ and I'm visiting him. I know I shouldn't be here, after everything we've been through, and my friends wouldn't be too happy to know this is where I spent my ‪Friday night‬. I can't help it, I'm worried sick about him.
"May I help you?" An older lady at the front desk asks me, which causes me to snap out of my anxious thoughts.
"Uh, y-yeah." I stutter like a freak trying to say what I'm actually here for.
"Are you visiting or-"
"Yes, just v-visiting." I say, tucking a strand of my ginger hair behind my ear.
"And who may you be visiting?" She questions me, lowering her glasses to the tip of her nose so she could get a better look at me.
"Um, Wolfhard. Finn wolfhard." I look at the floor and use to jumper sleeve to wipe the tears forming in my eyes. I can't cry I font of this old lady, she'll think I'm a freak.
"Y- yes of course sweetheart." She stutters before standing up to grab me the clipboard I have to use to sign in.
"May I have your name please Miss?" She asks me, whilst retiring to her seat.
"S-Sadie, Sadie Sink." I say softly.
She logs into her computer, I'm guessing to find out what room number he's in but I could be wrong.
"Okay Sadie," She says handing me the clipboard and pen.
"I just need you to sign your name, date and the time you arrive, and then the time you end up leaving at."
"Yes of course." I say with a sniffle.
I sign my name and date before feeling a tap on my shoulder. I flinch at the feeling before moving my hair out of my face.
"Sadie?"
"Oh fuck Sadie, it's Finn's dad." My heart stops beating as I feel myself being stared at my Eric Wolfhard.
"H-hi." I stutter before looking away almost immediately.
"Are you here to see Finn?" He questions sternly.
Eric was like another father to me when Finn and I were together. But it changed ever since we broke up , I'm not to sure how he feels about me at all really. We've not spoken since mine and Finn's split but to be honest, I'm kind of scared of him now.
"Y-yes, if that's okay with you sir." I quickly return.
"Sade's, you don't have to call me sir," He says sympathetically.
"Wait, what?" I think to myself with confusion.
"Oh, s- sorry."
"And yes, of course you can see Finn. He's uh, still asleep at the moment." He sounds really upset about Finn. I can't blame him though, when I heard the news I had a panic attack and went back to my old ways, if that's what you could call it.
Eric just looks away and begins walking. I drop the pen near the clipboard and follow him down the hall of the building. I pull the cuffs of my, well, Finn's hoodie over my hands and I re adjust the strap of my bag to sit better on my shoulder. I catch up to where Eric was walking and see him pull out his phone to check the time.
"I um," I begin to talk not even practicing what I was saying.
"Yes?" Eric softly answers.
"I just want to apologies for everything, I never meant to hurt your son." I say, fidgeting with my fingers.
"Sadie, I forgive you. You have a special place in my heart, as does Finn." He says with a small smile.
"Thankyou." I mumble, with a sad smile.
We continue walking down the hallways of the hospital.
And we stop at a wooden door.
Number 43.
I see Eric take a deep breath in, almost like he was braising himself before walking into the room. I just keep my head down and follow him into the room. And there he was.
I look up at the bloodied boy. My hands begin to shake as i bring it up to cover my opened mouth, tears fall out of my eyes and onto my chin.
"F- Finn?" I stutter.
Eric looks at me with tears forming in his eyes.
"I'll just, be outside." He says before leaving the room.
The door shuts and I burst into tears. I make my way over to the bed and take a hold of his hand, squeezing it.
"Finn..." I cry out between my sobs.
"I'm so sorry. So so sorry." I cry.
I take my hand and run my fingers through his thick, black curls, them tracing his pale cheeks and jaw.
I step away from the boy, grabbing the single chair and dragging it closer to the bed.
"Finn..." I clear my throat and wipe my tears before continuing to speak to the unconscious boy.
"Please," My voice breaks into more cries.
I throw my head back in an attempt to stop the tears but I give up on trying to stop them. I take ahold of his hand again and stroke the top of it with my thumb.
"Finn I can't lose you," my eyesight becomes blurred from the tears forming in my eyes.
"I- I love you, Finn." I stutter.
I look at his face. Nothing. No signs of being conscious at all.
I begin to cry again, my sobs becoming louder and louder.
"This is all your fault." I angrily mumble to myself.
I don't know why I blame myself. But I do, I know that if Finn and I were together, this wouldn't have happened. He wouldn't have been injured. He would've been safe.
"I'm so sorry." I say through my cries again.
"So sorry."
