* 12 Hours later *
"Mr Barlow?"
"Yes! Is she ok? Can I see her now?"
"It's difficult to say how she is. I believe that Jade's brain was starved of oxygen for a small time. So we won't know if everything is ok. if she wakes up we will be able to tell then."
"If? If she wakes up! So what she might never wake up?"
"Mr Barlow we always have to say if. Because nothing is certain. What is certain is jade has had a life threatening accident. Even if everything is ok with her brain. She still has a broken leg. 3 fractured ribs. And a broken collar bone. So things aren't going to be straight forward for her. She'll need you here if or when she wakes up!" He pats Me on The shoulder.
I'm lead through by a nurse into the room where jade is. I pull the chair right up to Jade's bed side. God. She looks so pale. I take Jades hand softly. I press my lips against her hand. My head is pressed against the bed. I'm sobbing. This is all my fault. If I hadn't have been sick. I'd have phone jade sooner. Stopped all this from happening. And now look. She's in hospital. We don't know if she is going to be alright.
"Jade. Babe. Please wake up. I need to tell you how sorry I am. I shouldn't have treated you the way I did. I should have never said what I said. I need to tell you. That. I, I lo... I really like you jade. So please wake up. Even if you want to slap me for the way I've treated you. You can. Please. Jade. Just wake up." I grip her hand tightly but softly. tears still steaming down my face. I need her to be ok.
"What the fuck are you doing here. Get out. Get out now!" I spin around to see Alex stood there. Wow a few weeks ago she couldn't speak to me. Now she is shouting at me. "Jade won't want you here. Just go!!" I turn back around so I'm facing my baby. "No." I shake my head. "I'm stay here. I need to be here."
"What gives you the right to be here. You've treated Jade like dirt over the last few weeks. She would throw you out herself if she could!" She shouts again at Gary.
"Look. I said it nicely to you. And I'll say it one more time. Then after that I won't be so nice. I'm staying right here. I'm not leaving!" I snap a little how dare she?
"Get out Gary. Before I get you thrown out."
"NO I'm NOT leaving. I fucking love this woman. So I'm going to be here when she wakes up!" I stand up turning around so i'm facing Alex. She just turns Around and slams the door.
I sit back down. I mean I know I have treated Jade like crap. But who the fuck is she to tell me to leave. I ain't leaving. I have to stay I just have too. I look towards the floor. When I hear Jade, I look up to find Jade coughing and shaking? She's not laying still what's happening? I press the bell for the nurse. And they run in straight away alone with a doctor.
"What's happening? Please tell me she will be ok?" They ignore me. The place jade on to her side as she coughs up a lot blood. A few minutes later when she has stopped coughing they lay her gently back down on her back.
"Doctor what happened?" I pull the doctor back slightly away from the bed. "Mr Barlow. What this shows us is Jade will wake up. She has come out of the coma. We will keep a close eye on her."
"What about then? She coughed up blood then. What's happening?"
"Mr Barlow you have to stay calm. And we're hoping, the coughing up the blood. Was just a way for the airways to clear. We will keep a close eye on her. I give you my word on that!"
"Thank you doctor! Thank you so much!"
I finally smile a little. Jade will wake up, and at least that gives me a chance to tell her how I feel. And if she rejects me. Then so be it. I will get the opportunity to hold her. And kiss her again. I love her so much. I sit down on the bed slightly. I take Jades hand and run my hand threw her hair softly. "I love you Jade. So you better wake up and tell me that you love me too!" I kiss her forehead softly.
