Chapter 3

Those next few hours were painful. Me and Connor were questioned by police, for our side of the story. Police said they had witness’ that agree with our side so we may be needed for further questioning and stuff like that. It was late. Connor had just flown over from Kentucky and he hadn’t slept since yesterday night, so he fell asleep on me. I was about to fall asleep when someone touched my shoulder. ‘Josh?’ she said. ‘AMELIA!!’ I screamed. I could see a very sleepy woman behind her. I walked up to her. ‘Thank you so much for bringing her at this late hour I am so sorry. If there is anything I can do to repay you?’ Before she could answer I asked her ‘How did you find out?’ She paused. ‘Well the police said they went through mine and Katie’s texts and then when they had read them, they rang me.’ I smiled. ‘Thank you, so much Ma’am. Please go home and get some rest, I will call you tomorrow to find out how you want me to repay you. Thank you so much. Night’ I said. ‘Night’ she said back as she walked away. I Turned around and Connor was talking to Amelia. I sat down next to them and Amelia climbed on my lap. ‘Josh, will Katie be okay?’ She said innocently. I am so happy Amelia doesn’t know what happened. She has already been through a lot these few weeks. ‘Beautiful, she will be perfectly fine.’ She smiled ‘Josh you know that you called me beautiful? Well Katie called me beautiful for the first time in 2 years the other day. I told her that’s what you always said to me and she just didn’t reply she went into a daze and she said she was thinking.’ Amelia said. I looked at Connor. ‘Well Beautiful she remembers me so we can be together again and we can go see as many Barbie Fairytopia films as you like.’ I said to her. She huffed and folded her arms. ‘JOSHUA!’ She yelled. ‘I do not like Barbie Fairytopia anymore. I like Hello Kitty! Okay?!?!’ She Said to me. I nodded. ‘Okay’ I replied. Connor and Amelia both fell asleep. Amelia fell asleep on my lap and Connor on my shoulder. A nurse walked by and saw I was struggling. ‘Oh sir would you like to have a room? We have rooms next door to the patient’ She said. I nodded ‘Yes please. May I ask your name?’ I didn’t want to sound rude but it had to be done. ‘My Name is Jess’ She said. ‘Well Thank you Jess, My Name is Josh. This is my brother Connor and this is Amelia.’ She smiled. ‘I know who you are. Your Josh Hutcherson!’ I smiled. ‘Why yes I am.’ I replied. ‘Who is the patient you are with?’ She asked me. ‘Katie Smith’ I said. A look of shock crossed her face. ‘Oh’ she replied. ‘What? What has happen Jess?!? Please tell me!!’ At this point I was beginning to yell and disturb Connor. ‘Josh please calm down. I am not allowed to tell you but I can get a doctor who can and I can also get you a room but it cannot be connected with Katie at this present time’ I was so angry. ‘Please may we have the room.’ I nudged Connor. ‘Oi follow that girl. Her name is Jess and she is taking us to a room.’ Connor got up and followed her. I picked up Amelia and followed Connor and Jess. We got to the room and I put Amelia on the bed and Connor pulled out the folding bed. I just sat in the chair next to Amelia. Then a doctor came in. ‘Josh please may you step outside so We can talk’ I was scared now. I nodded and stood up, I kissed Amelia on the forehead and left the room. ‘Yes Doctor? Is she okay? Please tell me she is?’ I was panicking now. ‘Josh calm down, she is stable. There is good news and bad news.’ ‘bad news please tell me the bad news!’ I said. The Doctor paused. ‘Well Katie didn’t respond well to the operation we gave her on her rib. She lost a lot of blood and is very weak. We managed to get the bullet out but She wouldn’t stop bleeding. We gave Katie 5 blood transfusions as she lost so much blood.  That still didn’t work, the blood still continued to pour out. Finally we were able to stich up her rib and stop the bleeding internally. The bullet in her thigh came out straight away.’ The doctor said. ‘And the good news.’ Connor said from behind me. ‘Well she is currently responding well at the moment and all her vitals are fine, it is just we don’t know how well her brain has responded till she wakes up. Hopefully that will be in the next few hours. We are thinking at around 6ish she will wake up so in about 4 hours time. That’s the normal time it takes.’ The doctor replied. ‘So it’s not really that good news is it? It is more like okay maybe news because It isn’t definite. I would like to go into her room.’ I said sternly. The doctor hesitated. ‘I am sorry Josh I am not allowed.’ The man could tell I was angry. ‘WHY!’ I was getting angrier and angrier when I felt Amelia tug my top. ‘Josh when can I see Katie?’ I gave a spiteful look to the doctor. ‘Oh sweetheart you can see her now.’ The doctor led all three of us down the corridor to an intensive care unit. Connor stopped. ‘Bro what’s wrong?’ I asked. ‘Josh I can’t go in. I can’t see Katie like that.’ Connor replied. ‘Come on Connor.’ Amelia said. ‘You can hold my hand if you want.’ She held out her hand Connor grabbed it. ‘Let’s go’ Amelia said catching up with the doctor. Finally he stopped outside a door. ‘Here we are then. If you need me press the button by Katie’s bed.’ And with that he left. Katie had a tube in her nose attached to a machine, she had a drip in one arm and a blood drip in the other. ‘What’s wrong with Katie?’ Amelia asked. Me and Connor looked at each other stunned, we didn’t know what to say. There was a long pause me and Connor didn’t know how to reply. ‘Oh yeah. Well Amelia, Katie isn’t very well at the moment. That’s why she is in the hospital, so she can get better’ I said. Amelia’s smiled dropped. ‘Is she going to go to Heaven like mummy and daddy did?’ A tear came to her eye. I didn’t know what to say. ‘No beautiful, she isn’t. Katie is just sleeping at the moment. Do you want to go to sleep too?’ Amelia nodded. Connor grabbed her hand ‘Come on then, we can come back after we have been to sleep.’ Connor was amazing, at nearly 21, I didn’t see how he didn’t have a family of his own, he was brilliant with kids. A beep came from the machine next to Katie. I looked, nothing looked out of the ordinary so I sat down in the chair next to her. I was about to doze off into a sleep when it happened. ‘AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!’ I opened my eyes to see Katie sat bolt upright in her bed screaming. She was breathing heavily and fast. ‘JOSH!!!! AMELIA!!!’ She screamed. ‘AHHHH!!’ Doctors ran in and sedated her. She passed out and flopped back down. I was shaking so much. ‘Doctor?’ I said. Before I could finish he had replied to my question. ‘She went into a bad state of shock. Her body has probably just registered everything that has happened. She will wake up soon.’ He left the room. That’s when I noticed it. On the side with her clothes and phone. The box. My ring. I looked inside. It was there alright. She had kept it. I got the ring out of the box and slid it onto Katie’s wedding finger and sat back down. I held her hand and fell asleep. Amelia woke me up. ‘Josh’ She said giving me a hug. ‘I went to sleep and now I am back to see Katie’ She said. I smiled. ‘Amelia, Connor, I am just going to go to the toilet. I haven’t left this room since last night and I am desperate.’ Connor nodded. I left the room. Regretting my decision of leaving and walked to the toilet. When I was done, I saw Jess, the nurse, run into Katie’s room. I walked at a fast pace to the room. That’s when I saw her beautiful face, heard hear beautiful voice. She was awake. ‘KATIE!’ I screamed as I ran to her. I hugged her and she hugged me back. I pulled away and looked at her. That’s when we kissed. Our first kiss in 2 years.
