Chapter 9
I was sat up in a hospital bed, my face was blank and I could just feel my mind swirling around me but nothing was making much sense. Pattie had stayed with me throughout the time of me being taken into hospital and Justin, Lisa and also Justin’s bodyguard – Kenny, had accompanied her on the travel here.
I hadn’t long awoken but I knew Kenny had gone to the food court, I felt a bit bad for them all coming here and waiting around, I know it wasn’t a long wait but I still felt bad, everyone should be resting right now, I was... not that it was really my choice but I wasn’t conscious.
I heard the voices of my doctor and Pattie outside of my hospital room door, I had give the doctor permission to tell Pattie what was going on and Lisa had followed to eaves drop on the conversation.
I had already been told what was wrong and it really wasn’t that big of a deal, I was suffering from Vertigo. It’s not a big problem really, it’s just a name for getting dizzy really, there is no actual threat with it but you don’t actually know when the attacks are going to come, like I found out today.
The doctor said it can cause other problems such as headaches, vomiting, nausea and such, I actually did have a few of the symptoms listed but all he had to do was getting me a prescription of tablets which I would then have to take every morning and it would kind of settle everything down so I wouldn’t struggle with dizziness throughout the day, he said it wasn’t 100% effective but they worked most of the time.
Honestly, that was basically it, I had problems with dizziness in the pass but the cause of that would stay anonymous to everyone but me and my friend Chelsea.
Saying that, I really should ring her soon...
‘You scared me today...’ I heard a voice mutter from the other side of the room.
I turned my attention towards the figure that stood there looking at floor, Justin. He had been standing in here since I first got here but he hadn’t spoke a word, his head slowly raised and his eyes soon latched onto mine, I could tell straight away from his expression he was worried and I couldn’t help but bite my lip lightly as I looked at his rather vulnerable face; I had to remember we weren’t really on speaking terms right now but I still think I had the right to tell him I was okay.
‘I’m fine.’ I said as my eyes were still locked to his. ‘It’s nothing to worry about.’ I said as I shrugged my shoulders up and down lightly.
He looked at me once over before pushing himself up from the wall as he then walked over to my bedside; my eyes watched his movements as I felt his fingers lace through mine lightly as they rested on the bed.
Remembering Pattie and Lisa were just outside that door I attempted to take my hand from his but her squeezed a hold of my hand and didn’t let go.
‘I can still worry...’ He muttered as he shook his head. ‘You frightened the life out of me; I didn’t know what the hell was going on.’ He said.
I sighed as I brushed my thumb over his hand once and I looked back to his eyes; it was hard to stay mad at him, I didn’t really want to be mad at him. Even though he does things that hurt me, he will always be the one to put the pieces back together and without question... Sometimes we have off days and our arguments are far over the top but what can I really expect, the relationship me and Justin have is nowhere near normal and that’s obviously going to come with consequences now and then.
Despite all of that, he is still always caring for me and as I see now, he does worry about me. I can’t help but to sometimes think maybe I should actually listen to him once in awhile, he seems to care about me but I keep trying to push that thought away and I try to tell myself there’s no point thinking he will ever care, because of his relationship with Selena, I know nothing can go further but... I don’t know, I’m starting to confuse myself more than he confuses me now.
‘I promise, everything’s fine. It’s just a little thing which can be sorted.’ I said with a light smile.
I seen him smile back at me as he bent down and kissed my forehead quickly and just as he had stood back straight, the room door opened revealing Pattie and Lisa who entered the room, I felt my heart beat pick up slightly with the thought that we could actually be caught, Pattie knew me and Justin were friends but I don’t know what she expected our relationship to be like.
Pattie raised her eyebrow at both me and Justin as she nodded her head towards our hands that were still laced together; I quickly slipped my hand from his as Justin took an awkward step back.
I looked at Pattie and Lisa sheepishly, Pattie still had a questioning look her face but Lisa was just smiling and I knew she hadn’t seen anything, I was lucky for that.
We were driving back to the hotel, well, Kenny was driving. Me, Lisa and Justin were in the backseats while Pattie was in the passenger’s side.
Justin was to my right and Lisa was to the left, me and Lisa were having a conversation and I could tell she was trying to avoid the incident of me collapsing, I was actually thankful for that as it wasn’t a big deal.
Justin’s hand was pressed up against mine as we sat in the car, I knew straight away Pattie was suspicious to something between me and Justin yet she hadn’t yet said a word. I knew Justin was thinking the same as me and I was honestly concerned whether Pattie was going to raise any question as to why I was holding hands with her son who in fact had a girlfriend. Hopefully I will be able to use the excuse that I was really tired and I could head straight to my room without further questions but in my mind I couldn’t help but make up the worst scenarios.
I felt a buzz in my back pocket and I slid my phone out. ‘Chelsea G’. I smiled slightly as I clicked to open the text and soon the smile was wiped from my face.
*I think I have drawn the final straw Liv... My parents have kicked me out, for good.*
