Roxy made her way into the hospital and ran down the corridor stopping when she reached the reception desk leaning over it puffing and panting. Roxy looked at the receptionist as she struggled to catch her breath.
Receptionist: can I help you love? Roxy looked at the receptionist and nodded her head before taking a deep breath.
Roxy: my sister. She was brought in a while ago. Roxy stopped talking and looked around the reception as if she was looking for Ronnie to walk out from somewhere.
Receptionist: what's her name love.
Roxy: Veronica Mitchell. I need to see her. I need to make sure she's okay. The receptionist smiled and Roxy and looked down at her computer and began typing into it before looking back up at Roxy.
Receptionist: if you follow the corridor until you come to the lift. Take the lift to the second floor. There be someone around that can help you. Roxy nodded and rushed down the corridor toward the lifts pressing the button. Roxy stood waiting on the lift. Roxy sighed leaning over and repeatedly pressing the lift button impatiently Roxy noticed a cleaner who was mopping a near by floor watching her.
Roxy: what are you looking at? The cleaner looked at Roxy shocked at her outburst.
Cleaner: it wont make it come any quicker you know. Roxy went to reply to the young cleaner but stopped when she heard the lift ping and the doors fling open. Roxy stepped inside the lift and pressed the button for the second floor. When the lift doors opened Roxy rushed out of the lift and looked up and down the corridor and noticed Jack pacing up and down a corridor. Roxy quickly rushed over to Jack.
Roxy: Jack where is she.. is she okay. Jack looked at Roxy and shock his head.
Jack: I don't know Rox. Her pulse was really slow when me and Dawn found her, She start to fit in the ambulance it was horrible. They rushed her in there and I ain't seen or heard anything since. Jack nodded towards the room on his left and sighed heavily and threw himself down onto one of the hard plastic hospital chairs. Roxy looked at Jack shocked then towards the room.
Roxy: I should have known this was going to happen! Roxy said sitting a down on a chair a few seats away from Jack. Jack looked up at Roxy
Jack: what why do you say that. Did something happen when she went away. Was she okay when she came back.
Roxy: when she came home last night she was fine cause she was drunk so you know what she's like with a drink in her it was like she had forgotten everything that had happen she was happy like she didn't have a care in the world I kind of hoped I had the old Ronnie back but Then this morning when I got up she kept going on about people don't realise what they have till it's gone and how I was to never forget how much she loved me. I should have know I should have seen the signs like before. Jacks head shot up as he looked across at Roxy.
Jack: what do you mean like before.
Roxy: after she had Danielle her life changed she wasn't Ronnie any more she was different. She was the Ronnie that you know but not the one that I did. Before we moved to Ibiza she was really low she wanted to die. She didn't see the sense in living any more. She was going to do it to I dunno what made her change her mind she just came home one day and announce she was moving to Ibiza and she was taking me with her. She want us both to get as far away from dad as possible I never really understood that not till I realised what he was really like. I should have took better care of her and now its too late. Roxy said as tears began to roll down her checks Roxy leant up and wiped them away.
Jack: it's not your fault Roxy. You still have time to look after her you know. Once she gets out of here she's going to need you help to get her life back together now more than ever. Roxy looked across at Jack and shock her head sadly wiping away the fresh tears that continued to roll down her checks.
Roxy: it's Ronnie where talking about Jack. She's determined. When she sets out to do something she sets out to do it right. She's not getting out of here I know it. She gone. She's dead.
