Twisted Reality

Safe [15]

Demi's POV:

I can't believe the words I just heard. My baby is alive, she's awake and alive. Without instant realisation I felt the warm liquid slide down my cheeks and I couldn't help but smile to myself.

"Can I come and see her, I know it's late but please. Just me and Savannah?" I questioned in a hopeful manner.
"Of course."
I immediately hung up and shook Savannah. "Psssst, wake up!" I continued to shake her body since she wouldn't budge, she finally parted her eyes open and gave me a glare. If looks could kill I would be dead. She barely kept her eyes open for a few seconds before she shut them again.

"Alex is awake, get your lazy ass up" I said excitedly as I shook her again. This time when her eyes opened, they stayed open. She shot her body up so she was in a sitting position and covered her mouth.
"Don't fuck with me" she said and I giggled. "I'm not fucking at all, get up"

She jumped up and started circling the floor with her hands over her mouth. Once she had finished the routine we decided to shove on a quick change of clothes.

We both finished at similar times, and jumped into my car. I'm quite nervous. It's been several weeks already, almost a month, it feels like years. I'm nervous in case she doesn't remember me. That would be utter heartbreaking. I hope she does. Savannah and I don't speak much in the car, I think it's an overwhelming amount of nerves for us both. After the silent journey we arrived at the hospital to be greeted by Dr.Phillips.

"Hello ladies" he greeted us whilst smiling. How can somebody be this happy at 3am. I'm not complaining.
I nodded, "can we go in now?" He replied with a smile. "You can go in, it might be strange to see your daughter awake so please try not to show too much shock as it might scare and confuse her. She's a bit confused at the moment as she's not long came around so you can imagine its strange. Go ahead though." He explained and opened the door for us.

Savannah was right on my tail as I walked towards Alex's curtained area. I peek my head around the curtain and see her. I feel so overwhelmed. I open the curtain and see a huge smile arise onto her beautiful face. "Mom?" She grinned even bigger with tears forming in her eyes. I walk over to her and grab her hands and get down on my knees so I'm eye level. "I've missed you so much sweetheart, I really have I can't describe how much I love you and I'm so sorry" I explained whilst trying to hold in my tears. "Why am I in hospital?" She asks as her smile fades slightly. She seems like a new person, so clueless and innocent. It's very different.

"It's a bit soon, are you sure you want to know right now?" I questioned.
"I'm very sure mom, please."
I hesitated but she has to know and the sooner the better.
"Well, long story short, so be sure to take it all in. You were out on your own because you skipped school. You got hit by a car and have been in a coma for just under a month. We all got a shock because w- th- the" "Carry on Mom, please" she begged.
"The person who hit you is your birth mother."
Her face dropped, the look of hurt in her eyes was heart breaking. I don't know what she was thinking, at this point in time she was totally unreadable.
"What are you thinking darling?" I questioned.
She looked up at me, "just taking it all in, do we know it this was an accident or not?"
"I and a few police officers believe that this happened on purpose, that maybe she's out to get us because she's jealous; she also said she wanted you back." I explained. "No, no way" was Alex's sudden response.
"Don't worry, you're not going anywhere, I will never ever let go of you" I reassured her whilst remaining to keep a firm grip on her hands.

Alex's eyes widened once I noticed Savannah walked into the curtained area. "If I could get up I would jump on you right now" Alex said to Savannah whilst holding out her arms. Savannah practically jumped into Alex's embrace and held onto the moment for a good 20 seconds. It was so lovely to see Alex having somebody she cares about so much, she is fully awake how much Savannah cares for her and she's never been like that with anybody before. It's heart warming.

"Times up, huge apologies" Dr.Phillips voice echoed through my head. That was too quick, this isn't fair.
"No way. It's been about an hour"
"It's been almost 3 hours. It's 5:20am" he laughed. "Don't worry Alex, you can be discharged in a few days, if were lucky it could even be tomorrow" Dr. Phillips informed us.

Alex and Savannahs smile didn't fade for even a moment, neither did mine. I'm not ready to say my goodbyes but tomorrow will be a good day.
