Ana Pov
Chapter 6
The next day
"Kate are you awake" yells Ana from her room.
"Of course I am awake Ana I went to sleep only a couple hours ago" Kate says sarcastically.
"That's really not my problem Kate nobody told you to stay up all night" Ana said sweetly.
"Whatever Anastasia" Kate said
"OHOHOHOH somebodies grumpy". Laughed Ana.
"What is your plans for the day Kate" Ana asked while passing Kate a cup of coffee.
"Thank you…just finishing my valedictorian speech for graduation" Kate said.
"Your still going to Grey's to sign the papers" Kate asked.
"Yea I'm still going" Ana Said.
"Are you sure about this Ana, you don't have to do this" Kate said worried.
"What other choice do I have Kate, the insurance is not going to pay for Ray's medical bills anymore I cannot seat back and do nothing while my father sits in a hospital fighting for his life just because some stupid ass hole wants to drive home drunk" Ana says angrily.
"Ana I can always ask my dad for the money it's not a problem" Kate says with sympathy.
"NO Kate I can't ask you to do that, this is my problem and I'm going to solve it" Ana said.
"Just know that I'm here if you need for anything okay Ana" Kate say while standing and hugging Ana.
"I know Kate" Ana says hugging her back.
"I better start getting ready to sign my body and life away" Ana says walking away.
All I can think about while I'm getting ready is Ray
(Flashback)
Ana Pov
I was woken up by my phone ringing. It's three in the morning who is calling at this hour. I get up out of my bed and answer my ringing phone.
"Hello" I say groggy
"Is this Anastasia Steele?" A male voice asks
"Yes…. who may I ask is calling" I say a little annoyed at being woken up so early.
"This is Doctor Hardy from Seattle Memorial Hospital we have your father here Raymond Steele he was involved in a drunk driving accident. We need you to come right away to the hospital" the doctor said.
"How bad is it" I say holding back tears.
He only said that I needed to get there as soon as possible. That only means that it was bad really bad. I felt like I was on auto pilot I don't even remember how I got to the hospital. I just remember crying.
The doctors told me that he was hit by a drunk driver and the he had a severe brain injury and spinal cord injury, broken left arm and leg, they had to remove is spline. They put him in a medical induced coma so his body could heal.
(End flashback)
Ray is still in a coma when they tried to bring him out of the medical induced coma he had a heart attack because his injuries put too much of a strain on his heart and he slipped back into a coma….. That was a month ago.
Before I go the meet Mr. Grey and Ms. Williams I am going to sit with Ray and read the paper to him for a little bit. When I get to the hospital everything is the same Ray is in the same room with the same nurse in the same condition. I ask the nurse if there was any improvement.
She said "Sorry but no"
All I could say was "thanks".
I sit in my usual seat next to Ray's bed side. He looks so small, weak, and pale that I can't hold back the tears anymore I sit there crying for a little while until I realize that I can't my new Mr. Grey and Ms. Williams with red puffy eyes. I go in to the in suite bathroom and splash some water on my face and give myself a pep talk.
"Ana everything is going to be okay Ray is going to pull through this it's just a bump in the road"
I take a few minutes and breathe in and out a couple of times, then I go out and start reading to Ray. After reading the news then the funny pages and then sports I give Ray and kiss on the forehead and tell him I love him and I will see him on Friday. While leaving Ray room I say bye to the nurses and enter the elevator. My next destination is Escale.
