Ivy's eyes flickered open, it took her a few seconds to establish where she was, in the hospital. She looked to her side she could just work out someone sat beside her, Billy, it must be, she opened her mouth to say his name but he spoke, "Hey look whos awake" the voice wasn't Billy's she blinked until her eyes were clear enough to make out who the figure was, it was Captain Hammer, he had his hand on her face and was stroking her cheek. She turned her head trying to make him move, she could not remember everything but she did remember seeing him run, run out on those people, the people who needed his help, the people who believed in him, who loved him, he ran out on them. Ivy could see the sling on his arm, she frown up at him, he smiled down at her, she reached up and took his hand away from her face, "You, ran" she strained to speak, trying her best to sit up before realising she couldn't. Captain Hammer looked down at his arm, "I was hurt Ivy" he looked at her as if he were a puppy dog who had misbehaved and she hated it, she hated him. "As was I" she stated, this time she did sit up, the pain rushed through her but she was too angry to care, "As were so many others" she thought back to it, she remembered the three people lying on the floor, she looked away from him, deep in thought, "Those poor people" she said, Captain Hammer kept his eyes on her, he put his hand on hers, "there was nothing I could have done" he said calmly to her, her attention snapped back to him, she tugged her hand away from him, "You could have stayed" she said before the door opened and the nurse walked in, Captain Hammer suddenly jumped up, "I must leave, take care Ivy" he looked as though he was going to bend down to kiss her but she faced away from him and said nothing, he walked towards the door putting on a pair of sunglasses, Ivy looked outside, it didn't even look sunny. "Was that...?" the nurse stared after him then shook her head, "How do you feel my dear?" she said turning her attention to her patient, "Fine" Ivy said quickly smiling weakly up at her, the nurse frowned "hmm" the nurse said as she did all the checks on Ivy, while she did the door swung open and Bonnie rushed in, flowers in hand, "Oh my god" she exclaimed running towards her, "You're alive" she shrieked once more, throwing her arms around her, Ivy stared at her in shock as did the nurse. "I would have gotten here sooner, I was here yesterday, you didn't wake up, I had to sort the club" Bonnie's eyes filled with tears as she ran to Ivy placing a hand on her forehead checking her temperature, the nurse frowned at her. Ivy removed her hand from her head, "Sit down" she said lifting herself a little from her bed so she was sat up further, the nurse cleared her throat and pursed her lips at Ivy as she lectured her about her recovery. Bonnie held Ivy's hand as the nurse went on to say how long the recovery would be, how much care she would need to take and the whole slow process. When she was done the nurse turned to leave, "you'll never guess who was here" Ivy said to Bonnie, her eyes bulged and her jaw dropped, "He wouldn't dare come here, after everything he did, well didn't do is more like it" she crossed her arms and shook her head, "That was Captain Hammer earlier" the nurse said to herself more than the others, before opening the door, "So it is true, you are his girlfriend" the two girl's heads snapped up, they glared at her, "I am not that mans girlfriend" Ivy snapped, "And do not mention his name in front of us" Bonnie finished, the nurse stood in shock, "I'm sorry its not my place" she said quickly, "But just for the record we share the same opinion of him" the girls gave her an apologetic smile, she opened the door to leave.
Billy looked around for a nurse or anyone to give him news. A nurse came out of the room he was told was Ivy's, he ran up to her. "Please tell me, is she OK?" the nurse looked confused, "I'm sorry who are you to the patient?" she raised an eyebrow in his direction. "I'm..." he couldn't help looking at the door behind the nurse he just wanted to run passed her and see Ivy for himself. "a close friend" he smiled weakly at the nurse before his eyes once again went to the door, "I see" Said the nurse squinting her eyes up at him, although he wasn't even looking at her, her face softened when she saw how worried he was, "here I'll take you to her" the nurse turned around to lead him into the room when Billy grabbed her arm "NO" he shouted, the nurse looked at him in shock, he couldn't go and see her, not after what had happened, he just wanted to hear the words, she's alive and well. "Excuse me" she said releasing her arm from his grasp. "Look can you please just tell me how she is" the nurse once again squinted her eyes at him, she was confused by him but still he had the look of worry so she took a breath, "she is lucky to be alive" She said watching for his reaction. Billy's eyes went from the door to the nurse "but she is OK?" he asked seriously to the nurse, he held his breath waiting for the answer. "Yes" she smiled with the word, as did he, his eyes unconsciously making their way back to the door "but" his attention was back on the nurse "she needs time to fully recover" he nodded and looked at the ground, his guilt building back up, "now" said the nurse sharply "tell me, why will you not see he..." before she could finish he walked off, the nurse almost ran after him but her attention was forced onto the voice behind her, "Excuse me" she turned to see two police officers, "We are looking for Miss Ivy Jones".
