Can We Find Our Way Back?
Chapter 7
Bridget's POV
"Don't fucking touch me!"
Bridget felt deeply hurt at Franky's reaction to her. Had she really fucked things up so badly that Franky couldn't even stand being around her right now. Franky's eyes looked at her coldly, and then began to wildly take in her surroundings.
"Where the fuck am I? What happened?" The heartrate monitor sped up giving away Franky's apparent distress.
"Franky calm down…" Bridget tried to calm her but Franky was not having it.
Franky began to tug at her handcuffs and yank at them.
"Franky stop. You're going to hurt yourself."
That was when the doctor decided to step in and lightly pushed Bridget aside. As he checked over her vitals he spoke to her, asking her pertinent questions.
"Franky I'm doctor Morrow. You're in the hospital. You suffered a serious blow to your head and you were in a coma."
"Wha…" Franky looked scared and worried.
"What's the last thing you remember?" the doctor asked soothingly.
Bridget just looked on as he asked these questions. Franky looked completely shaken up and lost. Bridget wanted to reach out and touch her again but because of Franky's initial reaction, she decided not to. She did not want to agitate Franky further. It must be traumatic enough for her to wake up after so long.
"Um…" Franky looked like she was trying desperately to remember but her closed eyes and furrowed brow showed Bridget that she was having some difficulty.
"Listen Doc, right now my head is throbbing. Can I get some good meds yea?"
"Sure Franky, don't rush it." The doctor immediately looked to the nurse and told her what to get. He quietly exited the room for the moment to give her and Bridget some privacy.
Bridget was at a loss about whether to approach Franky again or not. When Franky's eyes turned to gaze intently at her, she felt like she had no choice but to say something. Anything.
"Franky…" Bridget said tentatively. "I know this must be hard for you. I want you to know, I'm so sorry baby." Bridget never thought that she would get the chance to say that looking in Franky's eyes after the past couple weeks.
Franky give a smug smile. "Baby huh. Well I must have done something right."
Bridget smiled. Something about the way Franky was looking at her unnerved her just a little. It reminded her of when they first met. She reached out to touch Franky's face but Franky's eyes widened slightly and so Bridget halted in her movements and dropped her hand back to her side.
"Sorry, I realize you must hate me, and I'm sorry for ending our relationship and leaving like I did. But I was just losing it Franky. I couldn't stay there any longer and watch you every day, and not touch you or kiss you. It was just too hard. After almost losing you, I realized I can't not be with you. I love you Franky so fucking much."
Franky's eyes were wide, and she furrowed her brow as if she were thinking long and hard.
"Say something Franky." Bridget said after Franky just stared and stared at her. Bridget felt her eyes watering with the outpouring of emotion she had just declared to Franky. When Franky did finally speak, her words shocked Bridget to the bone.
"I'm sorry…but who the fuck are you?"
