Howdy! So chapter 6, yeah. This is a bit of a depressing chapter, and just to confirm, all of this is made up and Vince isn't really in a coma (I had to tell you that because I was explaning to my little brother and he thought that Vince really was in a coma) And again, I don't own the boosh... Well, I have all of the DVDs, does that count as owning it? Anyway, Enjoy X Chapter 6
I told you it couldn't be good…
I was running down the street - I'd arranged for an interview later on in the week, but I left them my designs to have a look at - with tears streaming down my face. I swear on Jagger if this is just a way of getting back at me I'll…
That's the problem, I didn't know what I'd do. I loved Vince too much to hurt him again.
I was so lost in my thoughts that I ran straight past the hospital entrance and almost into a man in a wheelchair.
"Sorry" I panted as I turned back to the doors.
-X-
"Excuse me" I said to the lady on reception "I'm looking for Vince Noir…"
"It's ok she's with me" Howard said from behind me "Alex, I'm so glad you're here" He said pulling me into a hug.
"Howard, let go… HOWARD!"
He pulled away, blushing.
"What happened to 'Don't touch me'?"
"… Good point…"
"What happened to Vince?"
"Some drunk-driver was driving on the pavement and hit Vince. It knocked him onto a parked car" Howard explained as we walked down the corridor. I couldn't look at him, I wouldn't let him see me cry. Crying is a sign of weakness.
"He's got three broken ribs, his left arm is broken, his skull was fractured and he's in a coma. I have to warn you, he looks very different."
"I can handle it" I said as I opened the door. To be honest I wasn't sure what to expect…
I took a deep breath and walked through the door. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, he was only hooked up to a heart monitor and a drip.
"He's so pale…" I whispered. Vince was generally pale anyway but this was different. He didn't look real…
Naboo was sat in a chair next to Vince's bed. "Bollo asked me to give you a message" The tiny shaman said "He said, and I quote, Alex did this to precious Vincey"
"Me? ME! HE THINKS I DID THIS!"
"he said that if you hadn't gone to Cheekbone HQ 'Vincey' would have stayed at home…"
"No… oh god no Vince…" Tears were steaming down my face again. I was still stood in the doorway with Howard behind me "Why? Why did you have to follow me? Honestly Vince, that interview had NOTHING to do with you" I said walking forwards. I sat down in the chair on the other side of the bed, put my head in my hands and kept crying.
"We'll leave you two alone, Naboo" Howard said gesturing for the door.
-X-
After a few minuets the tears stopped and I looked up. Part of Vince's hair was covered by a bandage but the rest was spread out around his head, bandages covered his chest and his left arm was in a sling over his torso. I always thought Vince was beautiful, there really was o other word for it, but there was something about the way the light was hitting his face that made him look, well, perfect.
"I don't know why I'm telling you this…"
I'd heard somewhere that if you talk to someone in a coma they recover quicker
"…I went to that interview so I could get the money to get my own place instead of living off you and Howard…"
Howard. What was up with him? He hugged me.
"… I was only meant to be staying with you for a few days but then things changed between us. And at the cinema… but then after that you hardly spoke to me, that's what made me decide to go for this job…"
I was crying again
"… Trust me Vince I did all of this for you. From what Howard has told me you were 'happy as a bean' before I showed up. I changed everything, AGAIN!"
I'd stolen a piece of paper from Howard's drawing pad - yes, he draws. Little doodles to go with Jazz songs - and I was writing this down. Even if Vince could hear me I doubt he would remember it when he woke up.
"And I'm sorry, for everything. For leaving the first time and for what I'm about to go and do. I'm sick of being the one who ruins everything. So I'm leaving, for good this time, going to a place where I can be eternally happy"
I hope you get better soon.
Good bye and Good luck
Alex XX
P.S. I love you
I finished the letter with the same words as on the back of the photo. I stood up and put the folded paper in Vince's hand, then leant down and gave him a kiss on his forehead "I love you" I whispered.
I walked out of the door and down the corridor.
Just keep walking Alex, It'll all be over soon…
-X-
Howard
"Hey, Alex?" I said poking my head round the door "Alex? Oh god where's she gone? Huh?" I noticed a piece of paper in Vince's hand, I took it from him and unfolded it.;
Dear Vince, Hold on, you know all of this, cut to something else while I read it.
Oh My God… Ice flow Nowhere to go, Ice flow Nowhere to go, lost in the blinding whiteness of the tundra! Check him out! They call him the shrew, arms in short then with the claw! I'm little Jonny frostbite, moving around, freezing you up, freezing you down, like an icicle…
P.S I love you
Thanks, but did you have to cut to that?
It was the first thing that came into my head, I couldn't think of anything else. Plus it's my story, I can do what I want… Even kill of some of the smaller characters if they get on my nerves…
Point taken "Naboo, there you are. We have to get back to the flat!" I said as Naboo walked through the door.
"Why?"
"We have to stop her!"
"Who?"
"Alex, seriously though Naboo, we have to stop her!"
"Stop her from what?"
"She's going to kill herself…"
Incase you hadn't worked it out the second bold bit was me talking to Howard... And OMG another cliffhanger!
Please review!
Stay mental,
