Dis: Unfortunately don't own WAT.
It's the start of a new day, and the soft sunshine is coming in throught the window. I groan softly as I turn over in bed, my leg again feeling sore after the night. As I turn, my eyes catch a glimpse of a figure standing in the door way, at least I thought it was. I blink, and when my eyes re-open the figure is gone and I realise that it was just my wishful thinking. The start of another day, with no one here.
Sighing I turn back over, trying to find a comfortable position, which is difficult with the pain in my leg. I reach over and press the button to call the nurse. Why is my leg hurting so much today?
She comes, and checks over the usual things before increasing the morphine dose. Then tells me the usual, you will feel more drowsy blah blah blah, stuff I already know. I nod sleepily, the restless nights and medication catching up to me.
Glancing around the room through tired eyes, I idly notice that the flowers from Danny are starting to wilt and die, looking again I notice half of them have already died. No one's come to change them, get me new ones. I find myself wondering why they haven't come again. If anything had happened I would have heard, so I can scratch that off the list. I can't think of anything else.
I hope they come soon, I swear to God, it actually hurts I miss them so much. They're all I have.
Last night, (when I finally managed to get some sleep) I had a great dream, it was Thanksgiving, and instead of it just being Danny and I, all of my friends were there, and my mom. It felt so real, everyone was so happy. Everyone got along, and people were laughing and joking. It was like the kind of holiday season commercials you see on TV 'one big happy family', but it was real. I remember waking up, and crying when I realised it was a dream...wishing it would actually be like that.
I yawn, resting my head back on the pillow. I can feel my eyes get heavy, and I try and keep myself awake incase they come when I'm sleeping and I miss them. But it's no use. I am drifting off into my dreamland.
I wake with a start a few hours later, a sudden shooting pain in my leg having woken me up. The pain has now, thankfully, subsided into a dull ache, which is easier to handle than a sharp, constant pain.
A quick look at the room tells me everything is still the same, no ones changed the flowers. Doesn't seem like anyone's been. I'm still alone.
Yawning again, I try and stretch out my legs, hoping it won't cause too much pain. Unfortunately I seem to have stretched the wrong way, and a wave of pain shoots down my leg. I cringe, closing my eyes and wishing the pain away.
When I open my eyes, something seems to have shifted in the room. I shoot a hopeful glance towards the door, and I see a figure there. I blink surprised, and put a hand up to my head which is beginning to ache, covering my eyes for a moment. I look again, and the figure is still there, an indistinguishable look on his face. Danny smiles slightly and comes over to the bed. I'm in complete shock, and I think I may pass out. Don't get me wrong I'm glad he came, but why after so long?
"Hey." He choses to be the one to break the silence.
I feel myself starting to tear up. I'm so glad he came.
"Hi." my voice cracks, it hasn't been used in a while.
"How are you?" He asks gently, holding my hand and seating himself next to the bed.
"Ok. Why didn't you come sooner?" Unable to control my curiosity any longer. Wanting to know why he hadn't come when he had promised.
"I know I promised and I'm so sorry. I know you're upset-"
Upset? I thought. I'm beyond upset, he didn't even have the courtesy to call, you know to say he wouldn't be coming as soon as he hoped. But in that moment I realised I don't care that much that he didn't come, I'm just glad he's here now. I'm not alone anymore.
"I don't care." I manage to say. "I'm just glad you're here."
"Let me explain anyway. We had a case, and we had to fly out to Colorado. Viv and I just got back, Martin and Jack are flying in this afternoon. I'm so sorry."
"It's ok." I whisper, smiling to myself. They hadn't left me, they still care and that is all that mattered.
Danny leans over and wraps me in a hug, well the best he can when I'm lying down. I hold him tightly, reassuring myself that it's not a dream and that I'm not alone.
