Captain James POV
I have been waiting outside of Molly's room for hours with Smurf next to me. Just sitting and waiting. He has attempted to have a conversation with me but I just dismiss him. He is the one who got my Molly killed. NO I mean hurt; she'll be fine I know it. Lady Luck is on my side. A t least I hope she is, because I can't live without her.
Smurf POV
I can't believe she is going to die and it is my entire fault. I loved her and now she is going to be with my brother instead of with me. I mean Captain James; they love each other so she will never be mine. I don't really know why I am waiting here for her in case she suddenly chooses me instead of her Captain, which won't ever happen because she doesn't love me.
Molly POV
I enjoy my sleep I do but I'd rather be up at 2 every morning in Afghanistan than sleeping in until noon every day at home. I want to wake up and see my captain, my best mate Smurf and the rest of my section and protect them from the harm of a war conflict like Blisters, dust in the eyes and the shits. I want to wake up but I can hear the sound of a lorry or something reversing. "Molly, Mols can you hear me?"
Captain James POV
We were finally allowed to see her one at a time. I walked in and saw her hocked up to IV's drips, tubes down her throat helping her breath in case she suddenly stops. According to the doctors all the 3 bullets missed her spinal cord so she should be able to walk after a couple of sessions of rehab which she will be happy about.
"Molly, Mols can you hear me, I hope you can because I have something important for you to hear and I don't want to say it again. I love you and some part inside of me has loved you from the first time you laughed at me saying cockwombles on the first day of tour. I should have told you about Rebecca and my son Sam, but I didn't want you freaking out that we were still together because that will never be happing I can promise you that, Sam would love you. Please Molly I can't live without you please just wake up. I said in a strong almost authority voice but whispered "Please".
Smurf POV
I was watching Captain James confess his love to Molly with tears falling down his face. I have never seen him cry not even when his Kid had Gastroenteritis he was sad but never cried, not like this anyway like proper tears. I wanted to speak to Molly alone about us and staying mates but I think the captain needs some time alone. I got up and left not looking back.
Molly POV
I feel like Shit, like run over by 100 tanks. I attempted to open my eyes when someone shone a bright light into my eye causing me to move out the way "Get that fucking light out of my eye" I said croakily and opened my eyes to Jackie.
Jackie POV
Molly was going to be waking up at any time now and there was no on going to be there so I went and checked her vital but left the eyes for last. I lifted her eye lid and shone the torch in and she flinched away "Molly?" she grunted "Get that fucking light out of my eye" I began laughing and she opened her eyes looking around and began to sit up. "No Molly you have to stay lying down sitting up could cause the stiches to open and you could bleed out again" she signed but accepted defeat, properly too tired "Where's Sir?" she asked softly "he's gone home for some clothes, shower and a little rest, he will be her in about an hour when visiting times open" she looked around again and said "I want to wake up to him, do you think you could tell me when he is going to get her so I can pretend to be sleeping and slowly wake up with him there" I laughed and said of course.
Captain James POV
I brought some roses and a balloon decorated by Sam for Molly, but arrived 20 minutes before visiting times so sat and waited in her waiting room "Charles, you can go and see her" I looked up at Jackie, nodded and went towards my love. She was still asleep but looking a lot better. Jackie said that she should be waking up any time now. I sat down holding her hand and stroking her hair and kissing her forehead a couple of times and began talking about what has happened whilst she has been out. I felt her hand move and hold my hand back. I stopped talking "Molly are you waking up, can you hear me, are you okay, do you need a nurse or doctor, do you want your parents or family water?." I asked quickly like she was going again "MOLLY!" I shouted a little louder "Would you shut up for just a second I have a massive head ache" she said smiling at me. "Molly" I whispered and bend down and gave her a kiss. "I love you and I always will" I announced "I know I heard you, I love you to" she smiled at me
Did you want more Smurf and a future chapter about what has happen in the last couple of years give me a message and I will do that J
