Damage

IPOV
Damage. Damage can mean the end of things all around you. Damage can cause sadness to people you barely know. Damage can make you stronger though. Damage can just be a minor hurdle in the road to happiness.

"You don't get it do you? This is just the beginning. I said the souls would target everyone we love, well this is just the beginning" she explained, her eyes filling with tears as she did so.

"Wanda, it will be ok, this is probably completely unconnected with the Souls" I told her, trying to console her though the words felt like an attempt at comfort aimed at myself. If Wanda's family and friends were in danger so were mine. She nodded in responded, rapidly blinking in an attempt to clear the tears from her eyes. Suddenly she grabbed her keys and was dashing out of the door, with me running after her trying hard to keep up.

"Wanda please calm down" I called after her as she reached her car climbing into the drivers seat and starting the engine.

"Are you getting in or what?" she asked expectantly as she sat impatiently waiting for me to respond. I clambered into the passenger seat before she had a chance to drive off and leave me stood on the curb.

As soon as we pulled up at the hospital, Wanda was climbing out the car and dashing towards the entrance. By the time I got through the doors Wanda was already sat next to a girl I recognised as Lily from the funeral. She was still in her black dress much like Wanda only now her eye make-up had been smudged by tears.

"Lily it's going to be ok" Wanda kept repeating slowly rubbing her hand over Lily's back in a effort to keep her calm.

"What happened?" I asked Jared who was sat on one of the cold plastic chairs littered around the waiting room.
"Wes got attacked on his way to the funeral, he was working late so said he would meet Lily there, the doctor says he has internal bleeding and there is a chance that he won't make it. He's in surgery right now" Jared explained, his expression grave as he fixed his eyes on the coffee clasped in his hands.

"Crap" I sighed as I sank into the chair opposite Jared, my mind whirring. It must be so hard on them, knowing one of their closest friends may not make it to the end of the day. I could remember when Aaron, my friend from high school, fell off his motorbike and was in hospital. The scene had been little different from the one unfolding in front of me now. Only this one's ending was still uncertain.

"Hi" Mel said simply as she entered the waiting room, her black dress crumpled.

"Any news?" Jared asked turning his attention from his cup.

"No" Mel replied as she shook her head "I spent ten minutes trying to get any news out of a nurse but still nothing". Lily sobs got louder, sending Mel rushing to her other side, her and Wanda now desperately trying to console the sobbing woman.
"Is there something going on with Lily and Wes?" I asked Jared, my curiosity finally beating my want to just blend into the background so as not to upset any of the four people around me any more.

"Yeah, they have been dating for four years" he explained, looking up from his cup to meet my eyes.

"God, this must be horrible for Lily" I exclaimed quietly to no one in particular, but Jared nodded in acknowledgement of my statement.
"I have never seen her like this before" Jared admitted as a doctor approached our little group.

"Excuse me" the doctor interrupted, Lily sobs being quietened by his entrance and all of us turning to face him. "Wes Pyre survived the surgery and we managed to stop the internal bleeding" all of our face lit up with hope but were all darkened by the doctors next words. "However, he also suffered head injures during the attack and we have had to put him in coma, that it all" he added before turning to leave.
"Wait!" Mel called, standing up and rushing over to him, leaving Wanda to confront Lily, whose sobs had become heavier.
"Yes?" the doctor asked turning to face Mel.

"When can we see him?" Mel asked, her expression telling him she wasn't taking you can't for an answer.

"Now, I guess, 3rd door on the left" he shrugged pointing down the hallway.

"Thank you" Mel replied as he left, before she turned to face us.

"Lily you should go see him first" she explained, directing her comment at Lily who head popped up at her name before she nodded, stood up and walked towards the door the doctor had indicated.
