Chapter 7:
"What's wrong Poppy" Katie asked once Poppy came round but she didn't get an answer only a shake of the head between uncontrollable sobs.
"Please Poppy tell me" Freddie said on the verge of tears himself.
"I...I can..." but stopped when Drippy, Josie and Kiki practically fell into the room in there hast.
"POPPY!" all three screamed at once hugging there friend tightly.
"Poppy oh Poppy what's wrong" Kiki said handing her a tissue.
"I can never walk again" Poppy said bluntly not looking at any of the faces knowing what their reaction would be and she wasn't disappointed when stunned silence fell on to the room.
"Just leave" she said trying to cover her head with the blanket but couldn't because Freddie wouldn't let her.
"I'm not leaving" he said looking into her eyes.
"You know never usually means small chance" Josie said all of a sudden.
"Yeah there always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always, always..." Drippy started saying.
"Get to the point" Freddie said irritably form lack of food and sleep.
"...always is a chance" Drippy finished. For the rest of the day Poppy was visited by her father, sister, Mrs Kinsley and even Matron but Freddie, Kate, Kiki, Josie and Drippy stayed by her side all the time especially when she told everyone about how the doctor says there a chance she'll never walk again.
Poppy stayed in the hospital for another week before being discharged and going to stay at the hotel with everyone else. Being in a wheelchair annoyed her immensely because she had to ask everyone to help her. She shared a room with Kate and Freddie was in an adjoining room next to theirs.
It was the fifth night staying in the hotel and Kate wasn't in the room because she had to go stay with her family for a couple of days but promised to come back as quickly as she could Poppy woke up because of a sharp pain that went right through her.
"Damn" Poppy said then stopped she could feel something at the bottom of the bed it was just the blanket but she could feel it a feeling she had not had for over a week now she hesitated then tried and her leg moved slightly not wasting any time Poppy with some help from her hands got her legs over the bed it was exhausting though but the glimmer of hope that she might be able to walk was inside of her.
"Please, please, please" she whispered before pulling herself up out of the bed onto her feet though she was clinging to the bedside table she was still standing and she could feel the carpet underneath her feet.
"FREDDIE, FREDDIE!" she shouted in her excitement only seconds later Freddie barrelled through the door in a state of panic.
"Look" Poppy said before wobbling and falling just being caught by Freddie.
"I can't believe it" he said breathlessly.
"Can you stand again" he said also feeling that small bit of hope he did like Poppy. Poppy didn't respond just held onto Freddie as she tiredly pulled her feet back into a standing position.
"Well it's not always that Dippy is right" she said jokingly making them both laugh. Freddie stayed with Poppy for the rest of the night helping her back into the bed before lying next to her and pulling her close.
