Chapter 8
JULIE'S P.O.V
After about half an hour of pacing back and forth in the poky room they had put me in, a doctor finally came to see me. At first he tried to get me to calm down but as soon as he realised that, that wasn't going to happen he began to talk.
"Ok, Adam is in a stable condition, but he had rather a nasty fall resulting in a massive head injury. Luckily there are no cracks or fractures to the skull but we are sending him up for a scan to rule out any possible brain damage". His tone was like every other doctor's in the world, low and slow.
"So your telling me that he could be brain damaged for life". I started shaking in shock.
"Possibly, but that's what this scan will determine. Would you like to see him for a few moments before he goes upstairs"? I nodded pathetically, then followed the doctor to the emergency room where Adam was being treated. "We'll leave you alone for a few minutes". He told me as he and the few nurses disappeared.
"Adam, Adam it's Julie. Please be ok, I need you to be ok because I'm so scared. I'm scared of losing you, of having to live without you". I started to cry, then the doctor walked in.
"I'm sorry, he's ready to be taken up now". He told me and I nodded.
"I love you". I whispered as I pecked his cheek and saw him disappear through the doors. When he had gone, I broke down and dropped to the floor.
"Come on, lets go back the waiting room". I felt two arms wrap around my shoulders and lead me back to the waiting room. "Is there anyone you'd like me to call for you"? She asked gently.
"Erm, Charlie or Connie". I answered.
"What are their phone numbers"? She asked patiently.
"Er, Charlie's is 090 125 3133 and Connie's is err 090 454 1221". I reeled the numbers off.
"Have they got last names"? She asked.
"Charlie Conway and Connie". I began
"Moreau. Your Julie Gaffney aren't you"?
"Yeah". I replied a little confused.
"I was a big fan when you were on team USA me and my husband went to every game when I was training at UCLA. Right well I'll go and call your friends". She left me, returning 5 minutes later. "Charlie is on his way, I couldn't get hold of Connie". She told me then left me again.
I stood, and went to look through the window on the far wall, the view wasn't terrific but I wasn't paying much attention to it. I was shivering with shock and fear, every muscle in my body was tense and my stomach churned continuously.
CHARLIE'S P.O.V
I had just that minute walked into my apartment with Averman and Dwayne. We had just spent a good hour at the police department waiting to hear whether Adam was going to be charged with assault. The phone started ringing and Averman reached over for it.
"Hello, Lord Averman speaking". He said laughing. "Er sure, Charlie it's for you". He handed the phone over.
"Hello"? I said noticing Averman's laughter had subsided.
"Is this Charlie Conway"?
"Yeah".
"I'm a nurse at the Minnesota General Hospital, I've been asked to call you for a Julie Gaffney".
"I'll be right there". I put the phone down without hearing the rest of what she had to say.
"What's up Charlie"? Dwayne asked as I began rushing around for my jacket and car keys.
"That was the hospital, Julie's there. You guy's coming"? I headed for the door, not waiting for a response but knowing they would follow.
"What's she there for"? Averman asked as we bounded down the stairs.
"I didn't give whoever it was chance to say, but she sounded a little too serious for my liking". I replied, before I knew it we had all jumped into the car and I was already making my way down the main road and toward the hospital.
When we got there, I parked my car up hastily and all 3 of us dashed inside to the reception.
"Excuse me, I've just been called about a Julie Gaffney". I panted.
"She's in the relatives room". The receptionist told me and pointed to the door.
"Thanks". I answered and walked briskly over to it. I walked in to see Julie stood with her back to me, staring out of the window. I could see even through the dimness of the room that she was tense. "Jules"? I said softly. She didn't respond. "Julie". I walked over to her, hearing the door close behind Dwayne and Averman. Julie still didn't reply, until I shook her arm gently and she turned to face me, tears pouring down her cheeks and her whole body shaking. "Julie what's wrong"? I asked her holding her shoulders.
"It's Adam, when we got back we were being robbed and I disturbed them and they ran down the stairs knocking Adam over and he's fallen down the stairs". She stuttered through sobs.
"How is he"? I pulled her into a hug.
"They just said he's in a stable condition and no cracks or fractures to the skull but". She broke down in hysterical tears, falling to floor even though I was trying to hold her up.
"But what Jules". I looked worriedly at Dwayne and Averman, who were stood awkwardly by the door. "Jules, what". I began feeling sick.
"There might be a chance he's brain damaged". She murmured through her tears.
I could hear Averman and Dwayne breath in, shocked at what Julie had just told us. I couldn't believe it, I had seen him just under half an hour ago and he was fine, how could that be. Maybe Julie was wrong, I mean she'd been through a lot these past two days, maybe she was just hearing things, yeah that was it, she'd simply heard them wrong, there was no way Adam could be brain damaged.
Ok, I'll leave it here for now. PLEASE R&R!!!!!!
