I've been waiting

Chapter 19

Sabrina POV

I could hear my name being called from somewhere in the dark abyss. I didn't know where I was and I couldn't feel my body. I didn't know the voice calling for me but they were adamant to get my attention. "Sabrina, can you hear me. Please open your eyes. Sabrina". I struggle to open my eyes, but the screaming in my ears is not going away.

I get my eyes open and blink away the blurriness. I can see Mr. Jones and Gary both looking down at me with concern lacing their faces. "Mr. Jones, what happened? Why am I on the floor? Why are you both looking at me like that?" I go to sit up and my head spins, I quickly place my hand behind me to stop myself from falling again.

"Don't move Sabrina. We don't know what has happened. You came in here to put your stuff away and never came back" Mr Jones explains. "You must have tripped and hit your head" Gary adds in. Everything is a fuzzy mess, but things are slowly coming back to me. I didn't trip I know I didn't. "No, no. I didn't trip. I know I didn't trip" Mr Jones and Gary just look at me. "Sabrina, what do you mean you didn't trip?" Concern lacing Gary's voice.

"I came into the locker room and walked into someone. I hit a hard chest and then all I can remember is talking to you now" My mind is all a jumbled mess. I am trying so hard to remember what happened but every time I do it hurts. I hold my head in my hands and the tears start falling. My head is pounding and every time I close my eyes I remember little bits.

"Mr Jones, I walked in here and ran into a chest. I am pretty sure it was Jay. He looked at my hands and that's all I can remember" I cry into Mr Jones chest. "I'll talk to Jay. It'll be okay Sabrina. I'm going to go and call Michael to come and pick you up. You need to be checked out by a doctor and then stay at home to rest" Mr Jones gets up and walks out of the locker room.

"Are you okay Sabrina?" Gary asks as he helps me to my feet. I stumble forward a little and thankfully Gary is still holding me. He helps me to a chair and sits me down and my eyes close. Gary is yelling at me to keep my eyes open. "Sabrina, if you have a concussion you need to keep your eyes open hunny" "I'm so tired Gary. I just need to sleep"

I am resting up against the lockers when I can hear muffled voices from the other side of the door. My head is pounding and any noises are making it worse. The door swings open with Michael rushing in. He crouches down to my level and wraps his arms around me. "Baby, are you okay? Come on lets get you to the hospital to get checked out" Michael and Gary help me to my feet.

As we are walking through the store, Jay approaches us and asks if I am okay. I look at him and more of what happened comes to mind "Get away from me Jay. You caused this" I cannot stop the tears from falling. I am not crying because I am sad. I am crying because I am bloody angry. Angry at the fact he can come up and act like he had nothing to do with this. "Sabrina, I have no idea what you are talking about. There is no need to be a bitch" Jay spits out.

"If I were you Jay, I would stay away from all of us. If you had anything to do with what has happened to Sabrina, you will live to regret it" Michael throws back at Jay. Gary and Michael both help me out to the car and get me in my seat. Michael puts my seatbelt on and closes the door. He talks with Mr Jones and Gary for a minute before joining me in the car.

"Baby, can you remember what happened?" He picks up my hand and brings it to his lips. "All I can remember is going into the locker room and walking into Jay. I put my hands on his chest to balance myself and he looked down at my hands and then it was all dark" Michael's face was blank. He looked like he was constipated. I reach my hand over to gently rub his check. Michael holds my hand to his face. "I was so bloody scared when Joe called me Sabs. I have promised to look after you but this has happened and I wasn't there to save you" I can actually see the pain etched on his face. "I'm okay baby. I'll get checked out at the hospital and then go home and rest. Hopefully you'll come and rest with me" "I wouldn't want to be any where else Doll face.

We spend a few hours at the hospital and I come out with a clean bill of health. Back at home, Michael leads me straight to bed and leaves the room to make dinner for us. I am resting my eyes when my phone goes off. I reach over to the bedside table and pick it up. Opening up the message

Jay text: You are the reason I no longer have a job bitch. This isn't the end Sabrina. I will make your life a living hell.
