She's Our Girl

Scarily Scarlet

And then it all went black I remember hearing Someone crying, Uncle Charlie yelling something, the sound of an ambulance then nothing....
But I'm okay, totally okay..... I think.
            'This is Sapphire-Jade Luca Harte about 30 minutes ago she was shot in her left side in the lower rib cage, single entry wound no exit wound as of yet, her Resps & bp are low but stable' Charlie just walked with the gurney holding SJ's hand.  "I'm sorry sir we need to take her into theatre now" just as SJ went away Georgie rushed in. "SJ? SJ! Charlie what's going on where's my baby?" Georgie cried in hysterics. Charlie held her shoulders "SJ has been shot , but she'll be okay she's in the best possible hands!" Tears rolled down Georgie's cheeks "I can't lose her Charlie, I lost her dad, I can't lost her too!" She whispered. They sat on chairs in the waiting room & Georgie fell asleep on Charlie's shoulder.
       SJ came out of surgery and was intubated Georgie's little girl lay their pale and small.
         'SJ walked into a church, people were crying, her mum was crying she went to go up to her "mum? Mum what's going on? Why are you crying?" But Georgie ignored her then her uncle Charlie walked through her as if she wasn't there, they couldn't see her. Then a man started to speak. "We are gathered her today to commemorate Sapphire-Jade Luca Harte, to many of you known as SJ she was a bubbly fun, feisty girl, she was loved by many, the army was her second home and she loved them dearly so here to read is her Uncle Charles James, Captain James." She watched as her uncle stood in front of people and started to speak tears rolling down his cheeks "We are not holy  good or bad. We live our lives under milk wood and Thou I know Will be the first to see our best side not our worst.
I read this and it reminded me of my niece she always had such an open heart, and was loved by us all." SJ started screaming "Uncle Charlie! Uncle Charlie I'm right here! Can you see me! Please I'm not dead I'm here!" She cried"
           It was so frustrating she could hear the outside world but she couldn't connect with it.
      Charlie looked up to see someone he hadn't seen in a while with SJ. He left Georgie sleeping and went in "Molly?" She turned "how did this happen?" Molly asked eyes glazed "I don't know Mols but she'll be okay she's a tough cookie." Molly nodded "how's Georgie holding up" Charlie sighed "not great I mean her daughters been shot" Molly smiled slightly.  
"I'll see you later Charlie it was good seeing you tell SJ I miss her"
"Mols don't go on my account" he said earnestly " I'm not I have to work" and with that molly left.
       SJ started coughing then nurses rushed in "okay guys time to remove the tube she's starting to breathe on her own"
        About an hour later SJ woke up to uncle Charlie holding her hand "good to have you back little one!" Charlie smiled "good to be back"
        A few hours had past Georgie had hugged SJ but went home to tell family she was okay Charlie promised to stay with SJ until Georgie returned.
       "SJ what's up something is playing on your mind?" SJ looked at her uncle.
" I don't know if it's the morphine but I saw you in my head when I was under I heard you speak." She said Charlie looked puzzled " what did I say?" He asked SJ took a breathe and began " we are not holy bad or good we live our lives under milkwood" Charlie's eyes widened he then spoke under his breathe " and thou I know Will be the first to see our best side not our worst" he finished "you know it?" SJ questioned "I read it last week, it reminded me of you" with that SJ and Charlie hugged and SJ spoke "all is well in the world"
