Maddy and Josh - The Heart Wants What The Heart Wants

by LauraJean1992

Loving this pairing on the show (Australian pace) at the minute so I decided, yeah, why not write a story on them? Anyway, back to the summary, set after the crash, Josh goes to visit Maddy in hospital and when he confesses the truth about the crash, she asks him to leave. Will her feelings towards him change over time, or is the romance over before it's even begun?

36. Chapter 36

MADDY'S POV:

Mr. Stewart and I arrived at the hospital half-an-hour later…

"Maddy, can I help you?" Dr. Cooper asked, raising an eyebrow at me

I nodded my head, signalling yes… "You wouldn't happen to know anything about a Matt Page, would you?"

"Yeah, he was brought in last night after being run over" he informed me "I thought you two didn't get along?"

"We don't, but I just wanna know how he is" I admitted

"He's stable but critical" he replied "the next 48 hours are touch and go. Whoever did this to him knew what they were doing"

I nodded my head in understanding… "So I'm guessing he's not awake then?"

He shook his head, signalling no… "He's in a very heavily induced coma so we can monitor the swelling on his brain more effectively. We should be trying to wake him up when he's out of the woods. Is there a message you want me to pass on for him?"

I shook my head, signalling no… "I just wanted to know how he was. Thanks, Dr. Cooper"

"You're welcome" he replied

Making my way back over to Mr. Stewart, I smiled at him warmly… "Thank you for bringing me"

"You're welcome" he replied "are you ready to go now?"

I nodded my head, signalling yes…

"How's the boy?" he questioned as we made our way back to the car park

"Stable but critical. The next 48 hours are touch and go" I informed him

"And how do you feel about that?" he inquired

"I still don't know" I admitted "but I feel better in a way, does that make sense?"

"If it makes sense to you, love, that's what matters" he replied, both of us climbing into the car and driving back to the Bay

JOSH'S POV:

"Hey, how did it go?" I asked Maddy as she walked into the bedroom

"Okay" she replied "he's stable but critical. Dr. Cooper said whoever did it knew exactly what they were doing"

I smiled at her warmly and wrapped my arm around her shoulder as she joined me on the bed… "Did you get the answers you needed?"

"Sort of, yeah" she admitted "I mean, I didn't talk to him because I couldn't but knowing how he is, knowing there's a chance he could make it through has put my mind at ease"

"And what if he doesn't make it?" I asked

"I'll cross that bridge when I come to it" she replied, resting her head on my chest

Anybody any closer to working out who ran Matt over yet?
