Do You Know Who I Am?
Kit momentarily froze on the spot. Then panic set it.
"What did you do to him? You're supposed to be making him better not killing him!" she burst out.
The doctor looked at Kit as if she was crazy.
"He's not dead, he's still unconscious from the anasthetic we gave him in the early hours of the morning when we had to give him a necessary operation." the doctor smiled.
"Oh, right. Sorry." Kit muttered.
"Would you like to sit with him until he wakes up. He may be a little disorientated for a while."
Kit nodded and the doctor and nurse left the room.
She sighed and gazed out of the window. Noah certainly had given her emotions a rollercoaster ride especially in the last twenty-four hours.
She sat there and willed him to wake up so he could tell her what he had wanted to say yesterday.
She paced the room, drummed her fingers on the window sill and held Noah's hand for an eternity, well it felt like it anyway! Many times Kit had begged him to wake up, but he didn't. She didn't leave his side all day. She couldn't because every time she was hit by a pang of guilt in case she woke up when she was gone.
Anyway she thought, he had never left her when she needed him.
It was nearly three o'clock when Noah finally opened his eyes. Kit went back to his position at his beside and gripped his hand with hers.
"Noah, it's me! How are you feeling?" she asked in a rush.
"Hayley is that you?" he asked.
"No it's me, Kit."
"Kit? Kit who? Do I know you?" he was puzzled.
"Yes, you counselled me and we're friends aren't we?"
"No. I don't think so. Oh, hang on I think I remember you. You're the one who..."Noah paused for a moment closed his eyes and opened them again.
"Hey Kit how long have you been here?" Noah asked as the drugs wore off completley.
"All day." Kit smiled
"Aw, you shouldn't have done!" he smiled as well.
"Well, you said you had something to tell me and I didn't want you to wake up and be on your own." Kit confessed.
"What was I going to tell you? Oh, yeah I remember." he look Kit straight in the eye as best as he could.
"Uh well, I know I've only been conscious for about four of the last twenty four hours but I have been doing a lot of thinking in that time and I have to be honest with you Kit okay?"
Noah obviously expected an answer because he was looking at her in a very serious way so she nodded.
"Look, yesterday when I said I needed you that was true because I do but we're friends Kit and that's all we can ever be."
Kit listened as the nightmare unfolded finally she had thought they could be together but then her life had been no fairytale so far.
"Are you okay?" Noah asked.
Kit nodded and laughed hollowly.
"You're theone in the hospital bed and you ask me if I'm okay!."
Noah didn't laugh. He couldn't believe what he'd just done. He'd pushed her further and further away and now he had lost her and if the pain he was feeling was anywhere near as bad as hers he had probably broken her.
" Well if you're awake and okay,I'll get the nurse I can go home and get something to eat. Would you like me to tell Hayley to come and see you?" Kit asked.
"Huh? Why?" Noah asked.
"That's who you thought I was."
"What?"
"When you woke up you said. 'Is that you Hayley." Kit replied.
"Oh, did I? It must have been the drug wearing off." Noah answered
"Whatever Noah." said Kit and she left slamming the door.
