In Hope?

Chapter 11

Jessica's POV

I walked in to work the next morning. Tess was the first to greet me.

"Jessica!" Calls Tess. "Welcome back. Light duties to help you settle in?".

"Sure " I answered as I walked off to the staff room. I felt strange being back here but I guess life went on.

My first day back went fast and I was soon making my way out of the doors. Zoe saw me and a smile appeared on her face "How... your ... back... what?"

I smiled back. "It's still early days "

"Hope your able to stay " She replied and I smiled. Truth, was I wanted too...

Adam, without saying anything appeared at my side and we left the ED.

"Jess?" Adam asked. "How did your first day go?"

"It was fine " I shrugged as we arrived at his house and he unlocked the door

I took my shoes off by the door and walked in to the hallway taking in the many photos that surrounded us. I walked in to the kitchen knowing where everything was. Adam stood in the kitchen door watching me move around the kitchen getting the mugs out of the cupboard and milk from the fridge. He smiled and despite the tension that seemed to hang in the air, I found myself smiling back as I placed the mugs on the table. I sat down at the table and sipped my tea. I sat down and put my hands around the mug for warmth. I got up off my chair and walked to the draw to get a spoon to stir my tea. As I walked to the draw I spotted Harry's spoon and my fingers gripped it. "Jess?" Adam asked me

I put the spoon down and turned to face Adam "He's fading Adam " I stated. All I heard now was my baby crying and I couldn't save him. It was like I was in a dream. I would reach him but I'd always awake up as I dropped him in to the icy, cold water...

Through my tears I heard Adam get up and walk over to me.

"Hey, I know " He told me

"Sorry " I mumbled in to his shoulder

"What for?" He asked pulling me away from him but still keeping his hands on my shoulders.

"For leaving you I'm selfish Adam "

He shook his head "No Jess you are not selfish you just needed time "

I nodded and Adam went back to stroking my hair and I knew, like always that Adam Trueman would make everything OK.
