Chapter number 7. An aching hearts wishes

Five minutes had passed since the nurses had taken Martha's hospital bed away to the surgery room. Jack had gone into the waiting room anxiously sitting on one of the hard blue plastic chairs leaning forward and starring at his hands. Scott was still standing in the middle of the room where Martha had been, no words could describe how heart broken he was, she had chosen Jack and there was nothing he could do about it.

"Excuse me but you'll need to go and wait in the waiting room" one of the nurses said as she entered the room, bring another patient in.

"Yeah ok" Scott said still partly of in his own little world of thoughts, he wasn't going to sit around waiting for Martha though, he needed to get away. All he wanted to do was kill Jack, but there was no use in doing that, all that would do was make Martha hate him. Right now his life felt worthless without her.

"Whaaa, whaaa" Scott could here a baby crying in the waiting room. It reminded him of what else he had lost in the last month, his son, well who he thought had been his son, everything had been perfect for him before Steve had come along. Little did Scott know of the evil that was really inside Steve; he wasn't really the genuine person he came across as. If only he knew what Steve was hiding, then things would have been different for Scott.

"So how are we gonna finish them all off?" One of Steve's mates asked. There were about eight of them in the fairly dark room they were planning there revenge in, the only light was the light that came through the edge of the curtain that covered the window.

"Mate keep it down, you never know who might be around" Steve whispered "we'll use a bomb, that way we don't have to be on the boat when it explodes. I want you to sneak onto the boat a few hours before people start getting on, ok"

"Yeap shore mate, We won't let you down" one of them replied.

"Ok so I've given you all the details about the cruise, so I'll leave the rest to you guys. I'd better go, Hayley will get a bit suss if I take any longer to pick Noah up from Irene's.

Back in the surgery room of the hospital things weren't going quite as planned. "Um doctor I think you'd better take a look at this" one of the nurses said.

"What is it?" The doctor asked.

"She's stopped breathing and I can't find her pulse" the nurse replied.

"Ok put her on life support imediently" the doctor yelled.

Back in the waiting room Jack was getting worried, she should have been out of surgery ages ago. He looked up at one of the nurse and asked what was taking so long.

"Um, u, Mr Holden, you see, um, somethings, u somethings gone wrong. The doctors are doing their best though".

Next time:
