Chapter 11
One sided conversations are always difficult. It feels like you're talking to a wall. No response. I know this from constantly talking to my mother after my father left. All she did was stare at the clock, watching the minutes go by.
But what if someone can't respond? Because I can't. It must have only been a few hours since I was pushed down the stairs. All I can see is blackness. But that's not the worse part.
All I've heard since I've been laid in this hospital bed- well I hope it's a hospital bed and not the floor of the hut still- is the people I care about sobbing their hearts out.
And I can't even do anything about it. I've tried forcing my eyes open. I've even tried squeezing whoever's hand is constantly in mine. But it doesn't work. I feel like there's no will to live. If I can't help the people I care about, why am I even still here? It doesn't feel right. I just feel like a lifeless sack unable to move and comfort the ones I care about.
When Lauren came to visit, about 5 minutes in, she had to leave, because she couldn't cope staying in the room. She was probably the hardest person to talk to me. She broke down as soon as she seen me and Madi ended up having to take her out because she was crying that much. To know my best friends are hurting really badly, and I can't even give them a simple hug.
And my leg feels like I have 20 weights on it. And its not Finns arm.
Annie and Rachel were in the room with me at the moment. Rachel must have gone against every speed limit to get Annie here so quickly. I could hear Annie crying quietly while Rachel didn't. Rachel isn't the type of person to cry. She takes control of each situation as it comes.
It was at that moment, I felt a little tingle in my hand. It felt a bit like pins and needles. And it started really hurting. And what do you do if you have pins and needles?
"Rachel! She moved her hand!" Annie exclaimed.
"I doubt it honey. You're probably just seeing thing. She's still unresponsive I think." Rachel said, trying not to get her hopes up.
"Are you sure? Because her eye lids are fluttering." Annie informed her, just as bright light hit me.
I heard Rachel go out and get a nurse just as my sight began to get back to normal. I was in a hospital room like I expected, but not on a ward. For some unknown reason, I have my own room.
And then I laughed. "I learned to fly last night Annie, you should have seen me." I said still giggling.
"I thought you only hit your head lightly, seems not though. And it was 3 weeks ago Olivia. We're in October now." Annie informed me pointing to the calendar on the wall.
Instead of dwelling on being unconscious for 3 weeks, I laughed again. "You always said it was difficult to wake me up."
Rachel walked into the room and smiled brightly at me. It was only then, I realised the massive bags that were under her and Annie's eyes. And they were both in pjs, showing they most likely slept at the hospital with me. Better than being on my own I suppose.
"How you feeling Olivia? You took a nasty blow to your head and you have a broken ankle." The nurse informed me.
I looked at my leg and realised the blue pot. Quite a few people had already signed it. And someone, most likely Josh, had drawn pictures all over it with glitter pens. It looks amazing.
'Love you Liv, see you when you're out of hospital x Lauren'
'Get well soon babe! X Madi'
"Get well soon liv! X Lily"
"I wish I could have grabbed your arm on time to stop you falling x Tamara'
'Always thought you were airborne, learn to fly! X Josh'
'I miss you please get better x Finn'
'Get well soon Olivia xx Annie'
With how much they had wrote, there wasn't a lot of room left. But I didn't mind. I'll have to phone them and surprise them. I realised the time was 12.15 from the clock on the wall. They'll be on their lunch at school! If it's a week day anyway.
"Rach, can I borrow your phone to phone everyone?" I asked eagerly.
"Sorry honey, no mobiles, there's a phone there that you can use though." The nurse said, pointing to the phone attached to the hospital television.
Annie reached up and grabbed the phone for me. And I dialed the only phone number I have memorised.
"Hello?" I heard his angelic on the other end.
"Hey babe, did you know, it took Annie 3 weeks to wake me up? That's got to be a world record or something! And no one even got me a Mcdonalds for when I woke up! How rude." I said giggling.
"Liv?" His voice said unsure. I heard everyone around him go quiet. "Is that you?" he asked, when I heard the phone be snatched off him.
"Olivia! You awake?" I heard Lily ask happily. It seems like she's becoming a permanent part of the group.
I laughed lightly. "Nah babe, I'm still asleep." I informed her through fits of giggles.
"Tamara told us what happened Liv, and thanks for yelling at her! Next time don't head towards the stairs when you're arguing with someone though." Madi said lightly.
"Are you alright babe? You have all your memory and stuff yeah?" Josh put in suddenly.
"Considering I've still got Finns number memorised, I think I'm fine." I said happily. "But I've got to go. I stink, you know after not having a shower for 3 weeks? I feel disgusting."
There was a chorus of 'byes' and 'see you soons' before I hung up the phone and was helped get prepared for a shower.
I hope this pot is off soon.
