Someone rushed into the cubicle as Holly hauled
herself back up onto the bed.
"Slow down, Ms Miles. You are not leaving just yet,
so no need to rush. OK so what do you remember about the
accident."
"The accident?" asked Holly "What accident?"
"Oh, maybe you are suffering from a little amnesia.
OK you were in an accident just outside of the hospital.
Do you remember anything?
"Well, Patrick picked me up and then we drove........oh God. Patrick. Is he OK?"
"He hasn't come round yet. We had to operate. You
can come and see him if you like?"
"Yes please!" she climbed into the wheel chair and
rested her leg on the side. She glanced around herself as
she was pushed down the hall and into an elevator. She
was taken up to a ward and into a small room. Patrick lay
on the bed, he looked lifeless. She felt tears rum down
the side of her face and just as she thought she was
going to burst into tears she felt a hand come up and
place itself on her shoulder. As she turned around she
saw Chloe's and Barney's faces string back at her. Their
tiny baby lay in the push chair. Holly was so happy that
they were there.
"Hello, what are you doing here?" she asked not sure
that she wasn't dreaming.
.
"Moral support. And we had to get out of the house."
laughed Barney.
Chloe was staring at Patrick and looked upset. She
sat down on the chair next to Holly. Barney said he was
going to get a drink and left the room.
Chloe and Holly started to reminisce about their
time at Holby. They were arguing about the number of
times one patient had been known to get come in one week
when Patrick stirred.
"uhhhhh" he groaned.
"Patrick, hold on I will get a nurse." said Chloe
and rushed out of the room.
"Where am I?" he asked.
"You are at St.Judes hospital. We had an accident
and ended up here. Can you remember that?" she asked.
"Yes, everything. But I can't remember what happened
before. I know I am Patrick Spiller, but who are you and
why were you in the car with me? "
Holly realised that Patrick was suffering from severe traumatic amnesia, even worse than herself. She realised that unless he regained his memory in the next 24 hours it was unlikely that he would and his past would be forgotten. She couldn't allow that
"So my mum died at Christmas and I didn't talk about it. I concentrated more and more on my education and worked through my youth and teens. Then I got into med. school. Is that right?"
Holly nodded half heatedly as she listened to Patrick recite his life like a book he had just read or a History project.
"Yes. Then when you where in your first year as an SHO you............" What should she say should she tell him the truth or forget it and start agian, "You moved hospital because of a break up with some friends. You moved to a hospital in London and then to a hospital in Leeds called Holby general, where you met me. Do you remember any of this?" she asked hoping that she would have jogged some of his memories.
"No but I might if I met some other people from my past. What about all the people who worked at Holby general. Do you still know any of them? Could I met them?"
By this point Holly was desperate and even if it meant stirring up forgotten memories she would do it.
"Yes I will try and contact them when I go home. Are you tired? Shall I leave? "she asked as she noticed him yawn,
"No, don't go, stay and sit. If I fall asleep then you can go but for now just sit." it wasn't long before Patrick did drift of but instead of leaving she pulled her chair closer to his side. She stared at the face that she had gone without for eight years and wondered how she had done it. She couldn't imagine going a day without him now. She gently stroked the hair of his face and planted a kiss on his left cheek.
Chloe had been listening to the conversation that the two had been having, old habits die hard, and had got excited over the fact that Holly had suggested a reunion. As Barney walked down the corridor she stood up and when he was in hearing distance of her whispered she said that she had something to do and would be back within the hour. She left their daughter in his capable hands and walked to the car. She searched in her handbag and found her address book. Picking up her mobile phone she dialled the first number
