Chapter 8:
The next morning Poppy woke up to find Freddie next to her and she thought to herself I wouldn't mind waking up every day like this.
"Hey good morning flower" Freddie said pulling Poppy out of her thoughts and turning her head saw him sitting up slightly propping himself up using his elbow.
"So..." she said not knowing what to say and he was not so helpful by saying.
"So?"
"How about we get up and I'll try and stand again" Poppy said and Freddie nodding seriously shuffled out of bed grabbing Poppy's hand who used him as a kind of walking stick as she pulled herself into a standing position it was exhausting but she still had a smile on her face.
"Can you walk though that's the thing" Freddie said making her smile falter.
"I don't know and this is going to sound silly but I think I've forgotten how to walk" Poppy said blushing slightly Freddie though just smiled encouragingly at her and said.
"Well one foot at a time is the common way but we could try two feet at once what do you think" making her giggle and the sound of her laughing lifted his spirits immensely. Poppy was still laughing when looking over at an armchair gasped in horror and said.
"Oh my god this is a Gucci coat it should be hung up properly not slung over a chair and striding over picked the coat up before making her way to the wardrobe but freezing completely half way there Freddie was just standing in the same spot by the bed mouth gaping.
"I can walk" she said quietly looking down and wiggling her toes slightly.
"I CAN WALK!" she screamed leaping into Freddie's arms making him fall over both rolled around on the carpet laughing hysterically.
Meanwhile Drippy and Kate were downstairs in the breakfast room and even though no one else was awake yet they didn't care because both were still feeling guilty about Poppy Kate was thinking about if she had just believed Poppy in the first place none of this would of happened she didn't know how but she still felt that way. Drippy though was thinking about how she should have fought harder against matron and pulled Poppy out of the room she would be fine and they would all be now training furiously for the lacrosse finals.
While having there measly breakfast of cereal the last person any of them wanted to see walked in.
"Well I heard Poppy is going to be fine but what could you expect from a good for nothing liar she wasn't hurt at all if she was why would she be in a hotel and not a hospital" Harriet said sneering at them and looking around expecting Poppy to come out of nowhere.
"Leave Harriet" Kate said not even looking up knowing that if she did she would not be able to resist the urge to smack Harriet right in the face.
"No I don't think I will I see Poppy is not so popular now is she only two stayed behind for her oh well" Drippy turned to Harriet intending to beat her up but Harriet had already strode off into the hotel lobby content.
"Ha it seems my dear Freddie has left that little tart" Harriet said smiling to herself but that smile dropped when she saw Freddie walking into the lobby with Poppy clinging to his arm obviously needing help in supporting herself (even though Poppy could walk now the effort exhausted her so she still needed help)
"Oh Freddie that so kind of you to help Poppy but she's obviously down the stairs now so you can leave her with Kate and Drippy and we'll go out for the day" Harriet said smiling benignly up at Freddie making him cringe slightly.
"No, no I think I'd rather stay with Poppy" He said trying to step past Harriet but found his path blocked again.
"But I'm your love not her" Harriet said putting on what she thought was a pet lip and what made her face look more like a troll's.
"Harriet I never loved you" Freddie said looking confused.
"Yes Harriet Freddie loves me" Poppy said watching Harriet turn to her and her face turning scarlet.
"YOU HOW COULD HE LOVE YOU YOUR NOTHING BUT A TROLLOP!" Harriet screamed at Poppy earning disapproving looks from everyone in the hotel lobby. Poppy went to open her mouth to give a retort back but Freddie beat her to it.
"Harriet how dare you call Poppy that after what she's been through and now let's get this straight I never loved you and never will now leave before I call the police...oh and never come near me or Poppy again" Harriet stared at him for a moment before bursting into angry tears, turning on the spot and flouncing out of the hotel with what dignity she had left (which wasn't very much)
"Freddie you didn't have to stand up for me like that" Poppy said.
"Well I wanted too and she got what she deserved" Freddie said hugging her close.
"Oh and Freddie..." Poppy said hugging him back.
"Yes?"
"What's a trollop?"
