So I have decided to turn it into a story hope you like it.
Lauren's POV
Screaming from the sharp pain coming from my stomach I had woke up on a rusted park bench my body felt numb and in pain at the same time, I gradually lifted myself up into a deformed sitting position and squinted my eyes trying to gain some clear vision of my where I was. I was in Finsbury Park not far from Walford but far enough I remember coming here as a kid, how I ended up here I don't know the last thing I remember was sitting very peacefully buzzing on a train. Another sharp pain hit my stomach it was worse than before throwing my mind into oblivion I needed to somehow take myself to a hospital. I smelt as if I had sunk myself in a pool of sewage and my appearance was nothing I had ever imagined myself to look like, I looked like a person that had been homeless all their lives. I had nothing to my name all my money was spent on vodka last night but I managed to sneak lonesome myself onto a bus without paying and sitting there I could feel the other passengers eyes glued to me judging me as if they had never seen a girl that had lost their way but, embarrassment wasn't my concern right now my stomach pain was I needed a doctor and fast. I was standing at the overcrowded reception desk of Finsbury Park General Hospital waiting to see if there would be a chance to see a doctor when another pain shot threw my stomach. I fell to the floor clutching my stomach crying and screaming for help that's it Lauren make another scene I thought the woman from the reception desk came rushing towards me and then all of a sudden the room went black. I woke up in a hospital bed goodness knows what day it is at least I was in the safety of the hospital, I felt as if I had regained strength my vision and mind were almost clear. A nurse came in noticing I had woken "nice to see you awake miss, I'm sorry but we don't know who you are yet so can you tell me your name and your date of birth." I had so many questions like how long was I asleep but, I replied with the answers that she needed "yes of course my name Is Lauren Branning and my date of birth is..." I had forgotten when I was born; I must be messed up if I had forgotten that, I sat in the comfort of the warm hospital bed starting to question everyday things. The nurse saw me working myself up so she replied to me "don't worry miss Branning will get your records it will be fine can you tell me where you live?" I knew this thank god so I said proud and clear," I live in Walford can you tell me what happened and how long I have been asleep?" She looked at me with sympathy "Lauren you have been in a coma for a week due to your alcohol consumption but, you will be fine I promise is there anyone you want me to contact?" No one can know about this I thought laying in the bed but, she knew I needed support so I gave her Joey's name and contact details he was the only one that has ever truly comforted me about anything.
Joey's POV
A week has passed since me or anyone else has seen or heard from Lauren, and the family and I had been going frantic! The last words that Lauren said to me where I hate you and for a week those words had been driving me mad I have no idea where she is but, all I want to know is that she is safe and although I haven't shown it I want her to know that I am still crazy about her and I only broke her heart to try and save her. Lauren's mum and dad were sitting with me in the cafe for our daily find Lauren meeting this past week we have become so close Tanya her mum still knew I loved Lauren and wanted to support me as I her. All week we have been handing out missing person flyers to people, calling all the people she knew, and driving around all around London but, we had no result we were at our last straw it was time to ring the police. I was sipping the weak coffee racking my brain on more solutions to our missing problem when my phone rang I picked up desperately hoping it was Lauren "Hello, this is Sarah I am a nurse from Finsbury Park General Hospital we have a Miss Lauren Branning occupant she asked us to call you on her behalf inviting you to visit her but, she did mention that she didn't want any other of her family present when and if you visit. Visiting hours are twelve in the afternoon till five in the evening can I tell her that you will be coming to visit I can't tell you much but, she is in a very vulnerable state right now and could use some support." I replied yes straight away and hung up the only thing on my mind was getting out of that cafe and going to Lauren so I slammed my coffee down and lied to Tanya and Max about my sudden exit and left.
Lauren's POV
Why did I tell them to call Joey, Lauren you idiot he isn't going to come the last thing you said to him was I hate you I thought laying in the hospital bed. The nurse came in earlier to tell me she had got a hold of Joey but, she didn't tell me he was coming I suppose they don't want to give patients false hope. As far as I was concerned I was on my own now, I am going to get my strength back through the care of the hospital and leave to a new uncertain future free from drama. I was sat in my bed watching the clock on the wall opposite me counting hour by hour and it's about four now so if Joey was coming I'm sure he would be here by now. The nurse came in to do my final check for the day she seemed really happy almost too happy but, then she said I had a visitor asking if she could let him in the room. The nurse brought Joey into the room I just stared at him, shocked at the fact he showed up the nurse was standing at the door and said "Lauren you only have an hour okay, have a good night and I'll see you tomorrow." We were silent me in my hospital dressing gown with no makeup and a really bad hair day and him with a genuine frightened look on his face. Joey was the first to speak I knew he wanted answers "Lauren what happen are you okay?" What a stupid question and acting like he cared please I thought we were passed childish games I replied to him as sarcastic as I could make it "let's make this short I don't have a lot of time, I woke up on a park bench, came to hospital because of stomach pains, fainted in the hospital reception, and been in a coma for a week so am I okay, no Joey I'm not okay!" His face said it all he was beyond shocked he never thought just him breaking my heart would land me in a coma so he replied with the only word he could think of "what!" You could see his brain starting to slowly click he was starting to angry so he started to shout at me "DO YOU KNOW WHAT I HAVE BEEN THROUGH THIS WEEK, LAUREN I HAVE BEEN GOING CRAZY NOT KNOWINGWHERE YOU WERE AND YOUR ONLY EXPLANATION IS THAT!" I began to get emotional tears were starting to escape my eyes he still cared after everything so I began my apology "Joey I'm sorry for the pain my little drama has put you through to be honest I didn't think you cared and I am even more sorry I told you I hated you. I could never hate you Joey because you made me the happiest person in the world but, you broke me again so this time I ran and as far as I am concerned it was the best decision I have ever made I have nothing left not even you."
Joey's POV
I stood at the window of Lauren's hospital room rubbing my forehead with my right hand staring into the dull view she still didn't get it, I still love her I wouldn't be here if I didn't! Growing angrier at her I turn around and glanced at her then shouted goodbye. I rushed to the door of her room wanting to leave when she started yelling at me "THAT'S IT JOEY RUN, THAT'S WHAT YOU DO BEST WHEN TIMES GET HARD!" I became more outraged by her powerful comment, I turned around sharply and rushed to the side of her bed she looked a bit frightened but I couldn't care less this is the only way she would understand. I began shouting in her face "YOU STILL DON'T GET IT DO YOU, I STILL LOVE YOU LAUREN, and I BROKE YOUR HEART BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD HELP YOU STOP DRINKING!" I knew she didn't listen to any of that statement just the exception of three simple words that began to piece her heart back together she looked at me with that little sparkle in her eyes that I hadn't seen in forever. Lauren spoke again looking deep into my eyes and cupping my cheek with the palm of her hand "you have no idea how long I have waited to hear you say that, and for the record I never stopped loving you but, I don't trust you anymore Joey I don't trust anyone." I knew she would say that she has every right to twice I broke her but, now it was my turn to prove to her she could trust me again all I want is for this to be normal again. I thought that I would offer her a solution that she couldn't refuse "Lauren I'm not running this time I promise, all I want is you to get better, and for us to be back together so why don't you come home and stay with me so you can get better, I'm not letting you go." A frown appeared on her emotionally scarred face which I didn't understand I thought she would want that she then started to speak with tears escaping her eyes, "Joey I love you so much it physically hurts and there is nothing more I would love than to move in with you and to grow with you, it would make my life complete but, I'm not coming back to Walford I just can't."
