Lillie Wordsworth was currently sitting in the waiting room at the hospital anxiously awaiting news about her boyfriend, Clark Lane. Shelley, Claire and Ally had somehow managed to fall asleep whilst Sophie desperately tried to remain calm and get Izzy to sleep. Ed was pacing the room and Wordy was silently sitting in between Lillie and Shelley holding one of each of their hands in his. The rest of the team were also there, including Marina and Dean and were scattered around the waiting room either sleeping or sitting silently. Lillie slumped forward in her chair and rested her elbows on her knees and her head on her hands. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. Wordy used the hand Lillie had just let go of to rub her back gently in a comforting way.
"Go to sleep Lils, I'll wake you if we hear anything." He whispered to her. She shook her head in response then sat back and rested her head on his shoulder.
"I can't," she whispered, close to tears, a mix of emotions running through her body and the effects of the day taking its toll. "Not until I know that Clark's ok, I can't. He would do the same for me. Did, do the same for me when I got kidnapped." Wordy tensed at being reminded of what had happened to Lillie almost a year ago. Wordy freed his other hand from Shelley's and wrapped both his arms around Lillie. She immediately started to cry, albeit silently, the tears still ran down her cheeks. She wiped them away quickly, slightly embarrassed that she was crying in front of everyone. However, much to her relief, no one seemed to notice or if they did they didn't say anything or react.
Ed's POV
"Eddie, please stop pacing and sit down, you're making everyone more nervous." Sophie said from where she was sitting. I stopped pacing and nodded, going to sit down next to Sophie. With one arm still wrapped around Lillie's shoulders, Wordy sat back and placed his hand back into Shelley's.
About an hour later a doctor walked around the corner and into the waiting room. At the sound of footsteps coming down the corridor, Lillie sat up straight and as soon as the doctor was in sight, I jumped to my feet. The doctor looked at me and said "Family of Clark Lane?" I nodded in reply. Sophie handed a sleeping Izzy to Winnie and came and stood next to me. The doctor explained that Clark was fine and that he had a broken leg, broken wrist and lots of scratches but other than that he was fine. The doctor told them the number of the room that Clark was in and left them. I turned and asked Dean if he wanted to come and see Clark but Dean just shook his head and said that he wanted to stay with Marina until he heard that his dad was ok. Lillie still hadn't moved from her seat and Sophie turned and smiled at her.
"Come on, you should come as well, Clark will want to see you. He'll want to know that you weren't hurt." Said Sophie. Lillie glanced at Wordy as if asking him of she could go and when he nodded his head, she quickly got up and followed Sophie and I to Clark's room.
*In Clark's hospital room*
"Hey Buddy," I whispered as he walked into the room. Clark, who had been looking out of the window, turned and smiled as he saw us walk through the door.
"Hey." He whispered back. Sophie and I moved closer and both kissed him on the forehead and hugged him gently, asking him how he was feeling and if he was in any pain. Since we had walked in the room, Lillie hadn't moved from were she was standing just inside the room, by the door. Clark noticed this and with his good arm, he indicated for her to come over. She did as he asked and Sophie moved so that Clark could partly wrap his arm around Lillie's waist and pull her body to his. She hugged him and buried her face in his neck.
"You ok Lils?" He asked when she let go and took his hand. She nodded and smiled "You ok?" She asked.
"Yeah, I will be." He answered.
Wordy's POV
A few hours later, after visiting Greg, I made my way towards Clark's hospital room to tell Lillie that it was time to go home.
"Hey, we need to go..." I started trailing off as I saw Lillie curled up in the bed next to Clark with her head on his shoulder.
"Yeah... she fell asleep..." Said Ed, stating the obvious.
"Yeah, I can see that!" I replied laughing and making my way over to the bed to wake Lillie. I gently shook her in an attempt to wake her but she just moaned and moved closer to Clark. Clark rubbed Lillie's arm and whispered her name, this time she slowly opened her eyes and looked around, slightly disorientated until she realised where she was.
"Come on Lils, we need to go, I'll bring you back to see Clark tomorrow ok?" I said. Lillie nodded and kissed Clark's cheek before getting off the bed and following me out of the room.
