All for you

Chapter 16

My eyes zipped closed, the first sounds echoed through my eardrums like a harsh bright light. The noises sounding like a blaring horn whilst my eyes blinked rapidly trying to adjust to the glow hitting my pupils in the spot that most hurt.

"The fuck, you better have this low life in prison before I fucking tear him apart myself" the voice which I couldn't quite make out sounded as if every ounce of anger was leaving her body in one swift sentence.

"I assure you, mam, as soon as he has been checked out for his injuries he will be taken straight for questioning an-"

"Questioning? No, no, no you should be taking that shitty prick straight to jail" the voice I now recognized to be Hallie's continued.

"Sorry officer, she's just worked up" my sister spoke as I watched on with slightly widened eyes as water fell down both her cheeks.

"No, it's completely understandable. I'll be back to talk to Josephine when she wakes up if that's alright. I'm here to help in any way possible"

His words had me fully opening eyes as the scene in front of my gradually became clearer. The confusion hitting me like a gust of wind, I searched around for an answer as to why I was stuck between 4 white walls across from three crying women who's eyes stayed glued to the door.

Suddenly my mind seemed to click in on what had occurred. The details were foggy and I couldn't properly process the time between seeing the moving vehicle driving towards me and ending up here, but what I did know was the pain I'd somehow managed to ignore was suddenly hitting me like a train.

With my fear eating me up inside, my hand speedily reached for my bump searching around for the bulge I wanted more than anything in the world to still be in place. Relief flooding over me as I pressed my hand to the spot I so often did, I noticed the others in the room walking towards me in sync, their arms reaching out for my shoulders as soon as they were close enough.

"Fuck Jo, don't you ever do that shit to me again" Hallie stuttered, her emotions clearly showing with each syllable whilst another two sets of hands rubbed over my back.

"You have no idea how worried we've been Jo" Kath started getting interrupted by Anna halfway through, "Yeah, they wouldn't tell us fuck all. We didn't know how bad you were, Jesus we didn't even know if you'd fucking died"

Watching as tears drained their state, my worry remained exactly where it was as the possibility's swarmed my head.

"Is' I started only to choke on my voice instantly being handed a glass of water which I gulped down in one, "Is the baby ok?"

"The baby's fine Josephine" suddenly sounded a male doctor as he entered the room with his eyes glued on the chart in his hands, "we did an ultrasound as soon as you came, by some miracle the baby was unharmed."

As soon as he said that, I found myself gleaming with joy rubbing circles repeatedly over my little one I now learned to be thankfully safe.

"What you did with the seatbelt miss Langford, that right there may have just saved your son or daughter."

Hearing him say that about my instincts really hit me with reality at full force. Today I could of lost the most important person in my life in a flash. The overprotection I felt seemed to quadruple in an instance at the very thought.

"Anyway Josephine, I'm happy to say your stats are good but I'd like to keep you in a few more hours just for observation"

With that said and I nod from myself, he was soon leaving the room from the exact same point he entered.

Over the next hundreds of torturous minutes, I had myself sometimes being distracted by Hallie's sarcasm and others really becoming deep in thought over today's events.
