It's a geek life (Aston Merrygold fanfic)

Part 15

Before I went into the hospital I just had to ring Fran, Paige and Sam up to tell them what had happened. Phones weren't allowed to be used in the hospital so I had to do it before I went in. They were good friends so I knew they'd understand why I rang them in the early hours of the morning when I explained what had happened. I just needed to get things of my chest to someone. So that's exactly what I did. It was hard though because even I was crying all the 3 times I had to explain it. They were all sympathetic and said similar things like "Oh my gosh Danie!","I really hope that he's ok!" and "I'm so sorry". That's it my life had been so easily devestated in one night. My whole world crashed around in front of my eyes. I had to stay with him no matter how long it took him to recover. My friends could just send me school work just in case I'd be there a long time.

After the phone calls I went into the waiting room where my Mum and Dad were waiting. They had found out which room Aston was in. "We can't see him yet because he's still having some scans to see how bad the damage is." My mum explained to me. I nodded. "Right... OK then." I was still in some state of shock. A part of me really wished that this was still the worst nightmare I'd ever had. If so I wanted to wake up right now. I hated all of this. I didn't want to be in this position any longer. Please just wake up now and let this all be over. Unfortunately, it wasn't just some bad dream, it was a worser reality.

I sat down and my Mum and Dad sat down next to me. I just wanted to get this over with. I wanted my over active imagintation running wild about what sort of condition Aston was in. I just needed to see how he was right now. We had been waiting for what seemed like hours but it had only been about an hour and a half. I had gone to sleep and rested my head on my Dad's shoulder by that time. The doctor came in and had told my parents that Aston was finished having scans and was now ready to see people. They woke me up and the doctor smiled a little at me. "I just came to tell you Aston is ready to have visitors now. But I must warn you now that he's unconcious still." I nodded then stood up as the doctor took us to where Aston's room was.

The first glimse I saw of Aston was through the window that overlooked his room. He had massive bandage round his head that had blood on it and lots of cuts and bruises all over him. There was a machine beeping away next to his bed that monitered his heart and a drip full of painkillers was being fed into him. Oh my gosh. There isn't really a way to describe how bad he actually looked. My mouth dropped open and I tried my hardest not to cry. "Can I go in?" I asked the doctor. "Of course you can. Either me or another doctor will be in to check on you all in a couple of hourse." He smiled a little. "OK then." I nodded then went into the room.

I pulled up a chair next to him. Aston seemed peaceful with his eyes closed just like he was sleeping. I wish he could stay like that in a way because when he wakes up I knew he would be in a lot of pain. The injury on his head looked really bad especially as it had been bleeding. It wasn't bleeding now but it obviously had been. Even though hedid have painkillers though I'm sure he would still be in pain when he woke up. On the other had I wish he would wake up soon because I was still worried about him even though he was right in front of me. I held his hand and kissed it gently even though it had a bad cut on it. "Please wake up soon Ast.... I'm so scared...." Even as I spoke tears fell down my cheeks.
