Id just like to say that the song Nick was singing is called 'No woman no cry' by the Fugees. It was played at the very end of the casualty episode #HolbyRiot part 2. Also, This story will end in two chapters. I want to get it done before I got to my mums as I get back on saturday... And i'm going to the Harry Potter Studios on Sunday so I most likely won't be updating then either. So I hope to get it done by tonight, and if not then, then tomorrow morning. I have an idea for a new story too, so look out for that next week!
"The riot has cleared just about!" Linda came in four hours later. "Only a few members hanging around being told by police to go home."
"So we can get out now?" Zoe asked.
"Yeah!" Linda said, basically jumping of the walls in excitement. "Because the hospital is technically shut, Tess said that us that were here over night can go and get cleaned up."
"Oh right." Nick said. "So are you going?"
"Oh yeah!" Linda said. "Me and Lenny are going."
"See you tomorrow then." Zoe said, standing up and hugging her.
"What was that for?" Linda giggled.
"For helping my the past few days." Zoe said. "We really appreciate it."
"Its no problem. Just doing my job."
"Tell Lenny the same." Zoe said. "Give him our thanks."
"I will, don't worry." Linda said, looking over at Jess. "Oh, I think she is waking up."
"She is?" Zoe turned around and walked over to her. "Jess?"
"Hmm." Jess said, slowly coming to. She opened her eyes and smiled as she saw her mother. "Mum."
"Hey Baby." Zoe said, as she saw Jess's eyes open.
"Can we go home soon?" Was the first thing Jess said, and Zoe laughed.
"Im sorry but you have to stay in for a few days with that injury." Zoe said. "The riot, is however, gone."
"Yay." Jess said, and saw her dad walk over to her.
"Jess, im gonna pop home and get you some clean clothes. Is there anything else you want me to bring you?"
"My laptop?" She asked.
"Sure." Nick said. "I will be back in an hour or two."
"Bye." Zoe said, kissing him before he left. "I will go home after you come back so one of us is here at all times."
"Okay, see you." Nick said, and left the room.
"Mum?" Jess said. "Can you pass me my phone?"
"Here." Zoe said, giving it to her. Jess stared at it for what seemed a long time.
"Since when were you on the news?" Jess gasped, reading texts from all of her friends.
"Since earlier." Zoe smiled. "Why?"
"My friends keep texting me saying that they saw you on the news." Jess said. "They are all asking if I am alright because they that you said 'My daughter got stabbed'..."
"Oh right." Zoe said. "They wanted someone to be interviewed and they weren't supposed to be here, but I took the chance while I had it."
"Good for you mum." Jess said.
"So are you feeling better?" Zoe asked her daughter. She was definatley more cheerful now.
"Better." She smiled. "I can't feel it."
"Well the meds are still in effect arn't they?" Zoe smiled and Jess laughed. She loved this side to Jess, the happy smiley one. She watched her pick up her phone and text a few of her friends.
A few minutes later, Jess gasped.
"What?"
"My facebook." She said. "So many people had said things."
"Really? Like what?" Jess handed her the phoneand Zoe scrolled down.
"Saw your mum on the news and heard what she said about you! Are you okay! x"
"Omg are you alright? Heard about it on the news!"
"Hope you are okay Jess, all thinking of you :) x
"Wish you a speedy recovery Jess!"
"Wow!" Zoe said, seeing loads of them.
"I know! Half of them don't even know me." Jess shrugged, and took her phone back.
They heard coughing from the other side ofthe room and it turned out Sam was waking up. Dylan wasn't there. Zoe quickly pulled out her pager and paged Dylan.
Dylan was in the staff room chugging down a glass of water, and he felt his pager go off. He looked at it and saw it was Zoe. Zoe? Oh, she was with Sam! He slammed the glass on the work top and fled the room, hoping Sam was okay?
"Sam?" He said, bursting in through the door.
"She has started to wake." Zoe said. "I thought you would have wanted to be there."
"Thank you." Dylan said, and sat next to her, taking hold of her hand. "Sam?"
"Sam?" Zoe said too, trying to get the young woman to wake up.
She slowly opened her eyes, and squinted at the light in the room. Her eyes slowly adjusted to it, and she opened her eyes wide.
"What happened?" Sam said, not remembering a thing. "Oh my god what happened?"
"Calm down Sam." Dylan said, and as she Dylan, she did calm down a lot.
"What happened?" She demanded, and felt her head because she felt pain.
"No don't touch it." Dylan said, holding her hand down.
"Why!"
"You got knocked out! By a rock thrown... It hit you quite hard and you have a small skull fracture."
"Oh my gosh." Sam said.
"We don't know if you have concussion though. We needed to wait until you woke up." Dylan said.
"Do you mind if I check now?" Zoe said, getting the torch.
"Fine." Sam said, and looked into the torch.
She did the procedure and then put down the torch.
"Can you sit up for me?" Zoe said, and held out her hand to help Sam up.
"Woah woah woah." Sam said as she sat up, and grabbed the rails on the side of the bed.
"Dizzy?" Zoe said, pushing her back down.
"Very." Sam said, trying to blink it away.
"Okay..." Zoe said. "I think its safe to say you have a concussion."
"Great..." Sam rolled her eyes and immediately regretted it. Her headache got worse.
Jess was watching her mother work and she couldn't help but admire her. She saved people's lives on a daily basis! But it wasn't just her. It was everyone in this hospital. They are all remarkable people who help save people's lives. Sam and Dylan saved her life, and she was very grateful. Jess made her mind up, in that few minutes, that she would follow her mother and fathers footsteps.
The next day, it was the evening and Jess was allowed to go home. Zoe and Nick helped her into a wheelchair and they said their goodbyes to Sam and Dylan before heading out to the reception to say goodbye to everyone else.
"Bye Jess!" Linda said, running up and hugging her. "Take care."
"Thanks." Jess smiled, and recieved a hug from Lenny too.
"Get better soon Jess." Tess said, smiling at her. "I'll see you soon." Jess smiled at her.
"Lets go." Zoe said, and Jess just couldn't wait to get into her own bed, watch TV and use the internet freely.
"Bye." Jess waved as Nick wheeled her out and Zoe walked next to her.
"I bet you can't wait to get home, can you?" Nick said yo her, as he helped her gently into the back seat.
"No I can't!" Jess squeeled and winced as it hurt her stomach.
"Calm down dear." Zoe said.
"Sorry." Jess said, happily. She was finally going home.
Thats basically it... I will post an epilogue as the next chapter. x
