Chapter 2
Bridget walks into the hospital room, she sees Franky her body looks so fragile shes moaning it looks like shes in pain and her left hand is handcuffed to the bed. Bridget walks towards the bed slowly, slow tears running down her face. The officer not there she wonders if they gone to get a cup of coffee or to the toilet. Bridget sits down on the chair next to Franky's bed, she slowly runs her fingers along Franky's right arm.
Bridget breaths a sigh of relief, she had been so worried she was dead that just knowing she was alive and still fighting was enough to calm her down. That day in the kitchen when Franky asked her if she loves her and she said NO, was the worst thing, she thought to herself what if I didnt get the chance to tell her how I really feel. I do love her, this smart intelligent women, called Francesca Doyle, had stolen her heart. She didnt think of her as the typical inmate of a women's prison even the first time she had met her, Franky had worked to improve her life tenfold since entering wentworth. She had taken and passed her HSC and studying an Advanced Diploma of Legal Studies at Callum University.
The door creaks open and the officer sits down next to the door, the officer sits silently with his cup of coffee. Franky groans in pain, she wakes up to a shooting pain down her right side, Bridget attempts to calm her down by telling her everything is going to be ok. Franky presses the nurse call button.
The nurse comes in 2 minutes later taking OP's and she says 'Franky were the pain? Can you rate it from 1 its bearable to 10 its excruciating'
Franky says 'The pain is down her right side and that it is about a 9'
The nurse said the doctor going to see her in a minute and then she can have some pain relief, the nurse looks at Bridget, and says 'well francesca looks like you have a vistor. Just give me a minute and ill be back with the doctor and he'll give you ssome pain medication'
Bridget looks at Franky as the doctor leaves the room 'What happened to you ehh'
Franky looked at Bridget 'Gidget im not in the mood im in pain and I feel like a pile of bricks as fallen on my chest'
Bridget talks calmly to Franky 'Can I get you anything?'
Franky says 'Yeah please can I have a drink of water. My mouth is so dry.'
Bridget gets up going to a jug in the corner of the room pouring out half a cup of water and taking a straw to help Franky. She takes the cup back to the bed slowly moving the straw to Franky mouth. She slowly sucks up the water though the straw. She stops drinking and Bridget puts the cup down on the side.
Bridget says 'Is that better'
'Yes thank you Gidget'
The doctor and nurse come in to give Franky her check up. The doctor checks her stomach and looks at her xray and her OP's 'Well Francesca looks like you had luck on you side pain killers and a few weeks to heal your 2 bruised ribs and you should be as good as new.' Bridget looks at franky glad shes going to be ok and thinking it could have been a lot worse.
'Thank you Doc, can I have something for the pain now' Franky says wincing as the pain gets worse and worse to the point she thought she might start screaming in pain.
'Yes of course Francesca, I think you can be discharged tomorrow' The doctor leaves the room prescribing some Pain medication. The nurse comes back with some pills in a container and a cup of cold water. The nurse and Bridget watch her take the medication and then the nurse leaves again.
Franky looks at Bridget 'Hey gidget, can you ask them if I can have something to eat im hungry'
Bridget looks at Franky 'What do you want to eat?'
Franky looks at Bridget 'Anything they have im not fussy'
Bridget looks at her 'Ok then ill ask or ill get you something'
Bridet gets up out of the chair and leaves the room telling the officer she will be back and that she was just going to find a nurse to ask about some food for Franky. The officer nods and Bridget leaves the room in search for a nurse.
Bridget sees the nurse that had just seen Franky and calls her over, she has a quiet word to her about getting Franky some food,
The nurse says 'I will order something to be brought up for her even if its just toast or a sandwich till dinner rounds'
Bridget thanks the nurse and starts walking back to Franky room.
