 By five o'clock, nothing had happened. Dad had arrived at the hospital within half an hour of him calling. I greeted him with a grateful hug. Whilst I was in the room with Nessy, her lying unconscious under wires and cloths wasn't quite the comfort and familiarity I needed. We sat in silence for almost 3 hours, just watching Nessy. Doctors and nurses came in and out, performing work, occasionally asking us if we wanted anything. But every time we shook our heads. The only thing we wanted was Nessy. And we know all too well that it wouldn't happen any time soon.

However moments after the clock in the room struck 5, Dad stood up.

'Lola, I think I'll head back now for a spot of tea. You should come,' he said. Throughout the day, when the staff would ask us if we needed anything, it was always me to shake my head first. I had a feeling that Dad wanted to get some food but I couldn't find it in me to do so. I shook my head.

'You can Dad. I want to stay here,' I told him. He sighed.

'A kettle won't boil if you watch it. You need to eat, honey,' he said. Putting my arms around myself, feeling a little uncomfortable, I shook my head. He sighed and paused.

'Okay. I want you back in the room by the morning though. And please try and get something to eat?' he said. I nodded. I knew I'd eventually have to leave but was so reluctant to do so. He sighed again as if he had something more to say.

'And honey... Call Nathan? Or text him or whatever. He's been hanging around the hotel like a lost puppy when he wasn't at his concert or whatever,' he said. I raised my eyebrows, shocked at the prospect of Nathan entering our conversation. So I nodded as if I was taking it lightly but I wasn't. He was the one to tell my Dad that I'd gone to the hospital. I didn't think about anyone else and just ran off whereas he sensibly told my Dad. In that moment I felt so selfish. He had done so much to help me. And what had I done for him? Nothing.
