CONNIE'S P.O.V
"Connie". Adam said from his position in the doorway, a solemn look on his face.
"Who died"? I said continuing to laugh, but he didn't smile. "What"? I began feeling panicked.
"That was Pete on the phone". He told me.
"What's wrong? Adam, what's happened"? I was VERY panicked now, thoughts of him having a car accident on the way over here were crossing my mind.
"It's Tyler". He said plainly.
As soon as the word Tyler exited his mouth, I was dashing out the door with the car keys in my hand. No idea where I was going, but still. Adam came after me, taking the keys from my shaking hands. He pushed me around to the passenger side, as everyone else climbed into the back seat. He drove in silence, but with plenty of rush, my hands and legs were shaking with fear, wondering where he was and what was wrong, it soon became evident that he was driving to the hospital. He pulled up outside the main entrance, where I threw myself from my seat and dashed through the main doors. Again I had no idea where to go, but I was vaguely aware that I was heading to the children's ward. I can't remember ever running as fast in my life. I got to a T junction in the corridor. I looked down both, and saw Pete, Jack, Cara and Kelly all at one end. I ran to them, my chest burning.
"WHERE IS HE"? I began pacing up and down looking through the windows into the wards.
"Connie"? Pete began.
"WHERE IS HE"? But there was no need for him to answer, I saw him through the window, some nurses and a doctor, I began rushing toward him, but Pete pulled me back. "Get off me". I whimpered, pulling away from him.
"Connie you can't go in there". He pulled me back.
From then on I got hysterical, pulling as hard as I could to get into the room. Eventually I felt Charlie's arms grasp my waist, and pull me into him.
"Connie you have to let the doctors treat him". Pete told me.
"What's wrong with him"? I finally managed to ask, as Charlie let me go.
"The doctors aren't sure yet, they think it could be meningitus".
"Meningitis". I choked out, wandering to the window where I could see Tyler. My whole body was shaking. I leant into the wall, and allowed myself to slide downwards. "I knew he wasn't very well, it's my fault, I should have taken him to a doctor earlier". I began crying.
"No Connie. No matter what, he would still have gotten it". Pete told me, as he came and sat beside me, pulling me into a hug.
"C'mon guys, lets go get a drink"? Emma gestered for Jack, Cara and Kelly to go with her and Julie.
"I can't lose him Pete, I just can't". I began babbling.
"You won't, he's not going anywhere".
"But meningitis is serious Pete". I continued.
"He's got meningitis". Adam repeated as he arrived from parking the car.
"They aren't sure, they think so though". Charlie told him as a Doctor exited.
"Mr, Hobson"? He asked, I didn't hang around, I just dashed inside.
Tyler was laid almost lifeless in that huge bed. His little body looked so fragile, and his tiny round face so pale. I sat gently beside him and took his small hand into mine, holding it tight.
"He's just asleep at the moment, he's on a lot of pain killers, they just knocked him out". I nurse told me, I nodded in response. "Talk to him, a familiar voice will comfort him". She said before leaving me alone with him.
"Ty, it's Connie. I know you're not feeling too good at the minute sweetie, but you'll be all better soon, and you'll be able to try out that new bed of yours. You gotta get better, cause I love you so much and you have so many people out there who are worried sick about"... I stopped as I heard someone enter.
"Connie"? It was Kelly.
"Come here". I noticed the tears and fear in her voice. I opened my arms and she ran into me, curling up in my lap, where she started crying properly. "Shhh, it's ok". I rubbed her back gently as I cried into her.
"Tyler's not gonna die is he"? She blubbered.
"NO, no course he's not. He's just really poorly at the moment, but he'll be back to the same old Tyler really soon". I comforted.
We sat there, crying into each other, and before I knew it, Kelly had fallen asleep. The last thing I remember was a nurse popping in to check all his vitals. I began waking up, realizing I was still curled up in the same chair, though Kelly was now no longer there. I stood up and headed outside, to find Pete and Adam still sat around.
"Where's Kelly and the others"? I asked.
"Emma, Julie, Guy and Charlie took them all home, they're gonna make sure they get to school and everything". Pete told me.
"You guys should go home, get some rest yourself". I told them.
"Listen to the kettle calling the saucepan grimy arse". Pete chuckled.
"You both have to go to work in the morning. Sleeping here isn't going to do either of you any good". I argued, ignoring Pete's comment.
"Neither is it for you". Adam countered.
"I don't care, I'm not leaving him alone".
"We'll go in a little while". Pete agreed, as he stood and headed down the hall to a coffee machine. I sat beside Adam, feeling his strong arms pull me closer to him.
"He's gonna be alright you know". Adam whispered gently.
"God I hope you're right". I cuddled into him further.
I sat with them both for the next half an hour, before they both finally relented and headed home. I went back into Tyler, curling back up into a tight ball, just watching him breath in and out. At some point I fell back to sleep, only to be woken by a nurse offering me some breakfast. At about 9am Julie and Emma returned.
"Pete came by last night to pick the kids up, but they were already fast asleep, so he left them with us. They all got to school ok". Julie told me.
"Thanks you guys. I don't know what I'd have done without you". I broke down crying.
"Hey, what's all this about". They both wrapped loving arms around me.
"I don't know. I just feel so useless and"... I tried regain myself.
"Shh, it's ok. We all feel like that from time to time. You're gonna get through this, I promise". Emma soothed.
Later that afternoon, Adam, Charlie and Guy arrived. The doctors had told me numerous things throughout the day, but nothing had really gone in. Tyler had woken a few times, but wasn't really with it, he seemed a little disorientated, yet totally calm. Not long after the guys arrived, Pete came, still dressed in his suit. He asked me if there was any news, but even though I had been told things, I had no idea what was going on, so he went and found out from the doctor. It got to about 2.30 and they were all nagging at me to go home and get some rest, so eventually I relented and said I'd pick the kids up, after I'd been for a shower.
ADAM'S P.O.V
I was really worried about Connie. She really wasn't wit it. Pete had asked her what the doctors had told her, and she couldn't tell him a thing. She seemed oblivious to everything that was happening around her, the only thing that bothered her was Tyler. Eventually after nagging for almost an hour, she finally gave in and said she'd go home and have a shower before going to pick the kids up, but as she headed down the corridor, Charlie headed after her, as we were all worried that she would be unable to keep all her attention on driving, and I was to stay here incase anything happened with Tyler.
"I'm really worried you guys. She's been so out of it all day". Julie said once she'd disappeared.
"She's been through so much all ready, I don't know how much more she can cope with". Emma added.
"I agree, I've NEVER seen her like this before. I think if we don't do something and fast, she's going to end up breaking down". Pete told us of his fears.
CONNIE'S P.O.V
Charlie dropped me off at home, telling me he'd pick the kids up, drop them back at the hospital before picking me up. I walked dejectedly into the house, Just I was about to head upstairs, I noticed the answer machine flashing. I pressed the play button, awaiting to hear the message. But nothing could have EVER prepared me for what I heard.
So what do you think? PLEASE R&R!!!!
