Connected (GirlxGirl)

12. Georgia

I paced the waiting room as we waited for any information about Darcy. It's been over an hour now and we still didnt know if she was okay. But I took this as a good sign. If it took them this long to give us information then she had to still be alive, right?

My mom grabbed my hand. "Clam down sweetie. Your anchess slef is giving me anxiety." I sat down next to her and rest my head on her shoulder.

"I was so mean to her mom."

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"She wanted to talk to me and I pushed her away. She was protecting me."

"What do you mean protecting you?" My mom asked alert. Deep down I knew she knew what she was protecting me from.

"Ryan."

"What happened?" She was now fully facing me. I took out my phone and showed it to her.

"Ryan dropped my phone and broke it."

"What?" She took the phone examining it.

"You had text me and he seen that I had a picture of Dracy as my screen saver. And he took my phone and seen that I had more pictures of her. So I started pushing telling him to give me my phone back but he dropped it and it broke. That's when he pushed me called me out my name and Darcy came and fought him. But instead of being mad at him mom I was mad at her. I wanted her to hurt like the day she hurt me. It was stupid I know that now. What if she doesn't make it mom. I won't be able to live without her." I laid my head on her lap and she moved my hair out my face

"Darcy is going to be okay." She said absently. "I have no doubt about it. She is strong and she is a fighter. Literally. She'll pull threw."

"Where is she going to stay when she is released from the hospital?" I could hear my mom chuckle.

"She can stay with us. Me and your father already discussed that. But there will be rules. You hear me?" She asked and I nodded my head. I'll follow the rules if that meant Darcy could stay with us and be near me. "I'm telling your father about Ryan." I sighed.

"I know."

"He had no right putting his hands on you and more than once. Its unacceptable."

"If it counts Darcy kicked his butt both times."

"I appreciate her, but this is a legal matter now." We both looked when the doctor entered the room. We were in front of him in a split second.

"How is she?" I ask.

"Shes stable. We had to put her on a breathing tube..." my heart sanked and I leaned my body against my mom's. "Shes not out of trouble. We have to keep a close eye on her. She is in ICU..."

"Mom." I whined.

"I thought you said she was going to be okay?"

"Ma'am this young lady suffers from severe head trauma. We dont know what happened but she took a real hard hit to the head. Depending on the cut to her head I can say it was a few days ago that the blow to the head happened. So I dont know how she survived these days without seeing a doctor but by miracle she did. I can't say one hundred percent shes going to pull threw but I'd say she is very strong and her percentage of survival is stronger than I expected with someone who's been threw what shes been threw. She is a strong girl."

"Well can we see her?" I ask.

"Well I will really like her to rest. Shes very weak and tired. Come back tomorrow and you'll be able to see her then."

We reluctantly agreed and as much as I wanted to stay I knew that I couldn't. But I will be here bright and early in the morning.

"How is Darcy doing?" Sarah one of my friends asked. I was now in shcool and I couldn't wait to get out so that I could be with Darcy. I worry so much about her. I had went there early the next morning but she was being changed and they asked for us to come back later. So I relunctly had to go to school and was forced to wait until later.
