It's All In The Cards
Disclaimer: I don't own The Beatles, or anybody connected to them. I don't own anything connected to The Beatles. I'm not making any profit off of this story, just trying to expand my writing skills while having a bit of fun.
Author's Note: Yes, I'm starting yet another story before I have the others finished. Sorry. I got this idea from reading "Five Things You (Probably) Shall Never See In A Beatles Fanfiction" by The Starkiller. It made me laugh a bit, I agreed with several things on it, and I decided to try to make number 4 happen. Go check it out, I love it. Hope you all enjoy!
Ch. 10
Gardenia had passed out at some point. Her eyes drifted open and took in the sterile white walls of the hospital room. Her gaze floated from one place to the next, discarding everything as unimportant until it landed on a man curled up on a chair, fast asleep.
"John?"
He jolted awake at the sound of her voice.
"Gardenia! Doctor! She's awake!"
A doctor came into the room and nodded to Gardenia.
"You've been very lucky, miss. It was touch and go for a little while, but you should be fine with some rest."
"What happened to…him?"
John's posture stiffened.
"He's in prison."
The doctor was checking Gardenia for any brain damage as John replied to her question. When he was finished, John asked him if they could have some privacy. As soon as he'd left, John turned to Gardenia.
"Lass, what the bloody hell were you thinking!? You nearly died!"
Gardenia was exceedingly grateful for the painkillers she was on as she looked down at her injuries.
"It was me or you. I made the call."
"Speaking of calls, I had to make three very disturbing phone calls last night."
She frowned.
"Oh, John, you didn't…"
He nodded.
"I did. You'll have visitors soon enough. Now, rest up. I have to get home to Sean and Yoko."
He left Gardenia to her panic. If the boys showed up, a lot of attention would be on her. She had to find a way to disappear again. When her doctor walked in, she nearly cried with relief.
"Doctor, you are good about doctor-patient confidentiality, right?"
