CAN'T WAIT FOR IT
Good Or Bad Luck: Chapter 25
The hospital room is silent, Beca drove Ella and Frank back home so they can get some rest and update Benji and Emily. Chloe stayed behind waiting for Beca to return to the hospital. It takes Beca a little over an hour to get back. when she enters the room she sees Chloe sitting in a chair staring at Aubrey and Stacie. Chloe notices Beca standing in the doorway and turns her body to face her. "Sorry it took me so long, I drove Emily back home before coming back here."
Beca walks into the room and takes a seat on the armrest. "Any news?" Chloe shakes her head. "what about you? I saw you talking to the police officer before you left." Beca lets out a sigh. "It was a hit and run, the car that hit them was stolen last week so they don't know who did it." The soft steady beeps from Stacie's monitors are the only sounds in the room until they hear a soft groan coming from one of the beds. Beca is quick up her feet and sees Aubrey trying to open her eyes.
Chloe follows her lead and rushes to her best friend's side, Beca takes this time to go out of the room and find an on call nurse. "Hey, our friend is waking up and I thought that maybe a doctor should check her out." The nurse smiles at her and pages the doctor. "He'll be up in a minute, you can go back to your friend." The nurse smiles at Beca who tries to put up a smile but her face doesn't let. "Thank you." Beca turns around and goes back to the room to see Chloe talking to Aubrey.
The doctor on call walks in with a nurse and goes straight to Aubrey's side. "Miss Posen, can you hear me?" A soft groan could be heard. "Do you think you can open your eyes?" It takes a few moments but Aubrey's eyes flutter open but close just as quick. "Take your time, we will check up on you every few hours until your fully awake. Don't push your limits, if you feel like it's too much." The nurse writes down a few notes while the doctor turns towards Beca and Chloe. "Keep talking to her, let someone page me when she's awake.
The doctor and nurse leave the women alone and Chloe retakes her place next to Aubrey and starts talking to her. From time to time you can hear a groan or a hiss but no actual words yet. Beca stands next to Chloe and encourages Aubrey to wake up but Chloe does most of the work. It takes them a solid 40 minutes to get Aubrey to keep her eyes open, and this time they stay open. "W-w-where i-isss St-tac-Stacie?" Beca and Chloe share a look before looking back at the blonde. "She's here but she's sleeping." Beca decides to speak for the two of them.
Aubrey slightly relaxes into her pillow. "I-I w-want t-to see h-her." Chloe smiles at her best friend. "She's behind me Bree, let's get you checked out first ok?" Beca gets the hint and goes into another search for a nurse. When she finds one she asks him to page the doctor and returns back to the room. "Aubrey please calm down, the doctor is on his way. Please." Beca runs the last part and the scene before her breaks her heart. "I can't feel anything Chloe, why? And why won't she wake up? Stacie? Babe? Wake up."
Beca runs up to the bed and grabs Aubrey hand and cups her face with the other. "Aubrey you need to relax ok? The doctor is on his way and will explain everything. But you need to calm down so we can help you, can you do that for me?" Chloe takes a step back and watches how Beca handles the entire situation. "If you're in pain squeeze my hand until the doctor comes and when he's here we'll ask him for some painkillers." Aubrey nods her head at the idea of painkillers.
"What happened?" Aubrey seemed to have calmed down. "What do you remember?" Beca knows that she still remembers Stacie so amnesia is not an option. "I remember being in the car on our way to the dinner to meet Stacie's parents." Aubrey frowns trying to remember something else but she comes up with nothing. "You were in a car accident. Do you remember how it happened?" Aubrey shakes her head. "No, is that bad?" Beca smiles and shakes her head. "No, it's not bad."
"I'm glad to see you awake miss Posen." The Doctor walks in with the same nurse from before. "I need to do a check up, is that ok with you?" Aubrey nods her head, not that she really had a choice. The doctor runs some tests and asks Aubrey some standard questions. "Any complaints? Pain?"
"Yes actually, why can't I feel my legs?" The doctor lets out a sigh. "Yes, you endured a trauma to the vertebrae in your chest." Aubrey crosses her arms. "And what does that mean." The doctor gives Aubrey a sympathetic smile. "It means that your spine is pushing a nerve that paralyzed you from the waist down, I'm sorry." Aubrey lets her head hang low. "Is there nothing that could help me?" Aubrey's voice sounds desperate and broken and it killed both Beca and Chloe.
"There's actually a bright side to this." Now all three women give the doctor hard cold stares. "Let me explain before you kill me. We looked at the x-rays and it's a great possibility that it's only a temporary paralysis. The only problem is that we don't know how long it will take, it can be minutes or years no one can tell." Chloe hears a soft sob coming from her best friend so she sits next her and wraps an arm around her.
"Sir, what about Stacie? Any news about her?" The doctor shakes his head. "She's pulling through the night so that's a good sign, the first night is always the most crucial. We all hope for a speedy recovery for miss Conrad, she's an amazing doctor." Beca listens to the answer to her question while looking at Stacie. "She was very lucky, she only hit her head and broke an arm. The impact should have been worse." With leaving that piece of information to sink in the doctor leaves the room with the nurse.
"Could you call a nurse for me?" Beca nods and calls a nurse over to the room. "Is there any possibility for me to get out of the bed? I want to be closer to my girlfriend." The nurse nods and points at the wheelchair in the corner. "You'll have more freedom to move that way." Aubrey nods and the nurse rolls the wheelchair closer. "Let me get another nurse to help you out." Beca stops the nurse before she can leave. "No need, I think I've got this. Uhm Aubrey can you hold on to me for a sec?" Aubrey does as told and Beca takes her bridal style before placing her in the wheelchair and making sure Aubrey's comfortable.
Chloe just watches how her girlfriend, who is much shorter than her best friend, easily lifts her up. "You comfortable?" Aubrey nods and tries to navigate towards the other bed. Beca helps her and pushes her in the right position. "Thank you for your help but… could I be alone for a moment?"
"Of course, we'll go get some air." Beca takes Chloe's hand and leads her out of the room giving Aubrey her time and space with Stacie.
Stacie's parents came back to the hospital to send Beca and Chloe back home so they can get some rest. Beca did want to go but having four people tell you to go changes your mind quickly. Chloe is the one driving this time since she had some sleep during the night. Beca insisted on it while she stayed awake to keep an eye out on Aubrey and Stacie.
Aubrey wasn't handling it very well, she keeps apologizing to the Conrad family who try to convince her it wasn't her fault. All three keep talking to Stacie in the hopes she might wake up sooner but only time will tell. Ella had spoken to Chloe privately and Beca was wondering why but right now she needed some sleep before she could handle a proper conversation.
"Why are we here?" When Beca realizes that Chloe didn't drive her to her own apartment but that they were parking in front of Chloe's she wakes up rather quick. "Stacie's mom asked me to not leave you alone. And honestly I couldn't agree more." Chloe parks the car but neither make the first move to get out. "I appreciate the concern but I can handle myself." Chloe takes Beca's hand in hers and gives it a light squeeze. "I know, just stay with me? I think I need someone to be with me just as much as you do."
The couple gets out of the car and go up to Chloe's place in silence. They each take a shower and get dressed into something more comfortable. Chloe takes longer than Beca to shower so it's no surprise that the extra pile of clothes on the bed was already gone. Chloe goes to the guest room because she assumes Beca went there but when the room is empty Chloe is confused.
She makes her way down and sees Beca sitting on the couch. What Chloe wasn't prepared for was to see Beca crying. The younger woman had been so strong the past night for everyone else that she never got the chance to let her emotions out herself. The fact that Beca was crying did not surprise Chloe as much as it broke her heart to see her in such a state. She noticed that Beca never showed her emotions or would push them aside to make sure everyone else was taken care off but she won't let others take care of her. This was one of those prime examples.
Chloe sits down net to the brunette on the couch and Beca quickly wipes away her tears, holding back her tears once again. "Sorry, did I wake you?" Chloe rolls her eyes and wraps her arms around Beca. This woman is unbelievable, she's on the verge of a breakdown and still makes sure others are doing fine. "No, I came to see how you are doing." Beca lets out a sigh. "I'll be fine, I just need some rest."
"If that's what you need lets go." Chloe lets go of Beca and gets up. "What?" Chloe stretches out her arm for Beca to take. "You're sleeping in a bed, in my bed to be precise because I want to make sure you're really doing fine." Beca wants to protest but votes against it when she sees the true concern and dedication in Chloe's eyes. "Thank you." Beca says while getting up from the couch and following Chloe up the stairs to the bedroom.
It doesn't take them long to fall asleep wrapped in each other's arms. Even though Beca waited until Chloe fell asleep first her eyes closed just as quick. Both free from the worries of the world, or at least until they woke up again a few hours later. Chloe was the first one up so she decided to get up and make some coffee and prepare some sandwiches for her and Beca to eat. Beca woke up half an hour later, thanked Chloe.
The ride to the hospital was silent but quick. Chloe had called Jesse to let him know that she wouldn't be coming in for a few days. She asked him to cancel all of her appointments for the time being.
Beca and Chloe make their way up to the correct hospital room and see Aubrey back in her bed but it has been placed closer to Stacie's. Aubrey is having a conversation with Stacie's mom while Stacie's dad probably went back to work, he couldn't take time off even if he wanted too.
"How are you feeling?" Aubrey asks the two new additions to the room. "Some sleep did good." Beca answers with half a smile. "How about you?" Aubrey shrugs. "Still can't feel my legs but that's the least of my problems. I need Stacie to wake up, I don't care about my legs. I need her, I love her." Chloe's eyes light up at the revelation. "Have you told her yet?" Chloe ask with a smile. "We, uhm we said it before we left for the dinner. I was freaking out about meeting her parents and she calmed me down and told me that the loved me."
Beca bops her head. "She has been wanting to tell you for weeks, she just didn't think you were there yet. I'm glad she did though." Aubrey's head turns towards Beca but stops when she sees the person standing behind her. "What are you doing here?" Beca looks confused but turns around when she sees everyone staring at the door.
