I have a flair for the dramatic :)
Chapter 18
Tessa didn't wake up for three weeks. Three! I was so nervous and could barely keep my eyes open. I was dozing next to her bed when I felt a soft hand stroke my hair. I thought it was Taylor but when I opened my eyes I saw he was asleep on the couch. I frowned and looked at Tessa who was smiling at me.
“Oh my god” I whispered with tears
“Hi mum” she said softly. Her voice was hoarse from not speaking for a while.
“Oh my baby” I said crying and kissing her head
“Taylor!” I said waking him up. He was up in a second and when he saw Tessa he smiled and had tears
“Tessa” he sighed coming over and kissing her head. I pressed the doctor button on the side of the bed and within minutes he came in
“Hello Tessa welcome back” he said happily. He checked her vitals and determined that she had healed very well.
“I’m going to call everyone” Taylor said kissing her head again and walking out. I sat by her bed and smiled at her
‘I was so worried honey” I mumbled
“I know mum and I am so sorry” she said
“What for?” I asked
“Going to that party” she said
“I said you could go so don't blame yourself for this” I said sternly. I wiped away my tears and she moved over a tiny bit. I climbed up next to her and cuddled her
“You have no idea how scared I was when I heard”
“I can imagine. Where’s Philip?” she asked
“He has to work”
“I’m so sorry you guys haven’t been spending much time together” She said
“No don't worry about it. He understands” I said running a hand through her hair since her bandage was gone.
“I still feel bad” she muttered
“don't worry about it. Now rest because I know this is going to stress you right now” at that point Taylor walked in and smiled at us
“We were so worried” he said softly taking the seat next to the bed. He rested his arms on my legs and rested his chin on his arms
“I’m sorry dad” she said. I kissed her temple and looked at Taylor
