*Lora's POV*
He's sitting at my bedside. I can feel him there, holding my hand, kissing it every now and again, promising things we both know he can't deliver. I want to pull my hand away, the thought of him touching me turns my stomach, but I can't move. If I move, he'll know I'm awake. I just want him to leave. A sudden coughing fit has him wide awake within seconds. "Lora?" he whispers, full of concern. Yeah, right. This is all his fault. I open my eyes slowly and look at him. He looks pitiful. Huge dark circles ring his eyes, his hair is plastered to his head, and man he needs a shave. I pull my hand away from his and turn onto my side facing away from him. "Lora?" he says, pain evident in his voice. I say nothing, just tuck my hands under the covers so he can't touch me and concentrate on going back to sleep.
The next time I wake up he's not there. "Hey sleepy" Colby says softly. I look at him and tears fill my eyes instantly. "Hey! Oh Lora babe please don't!" He rushes across and sits in the chair that Jon has occupied for however long I've been here. "Colby" I whisper. He pulls me to him and kisses my head tenderly. "Love you Lora" he whispers. "We love you so damn much. I, I love you so damn much." I shake my head and he shushes me instantly. "No Lora" he says. "Jon will be back soon." Now I shake my head again. "No Colby" I whisper. "I don't want him here, I don't..." The door opening stops me mid sentence. Jon walks in and I freeze. "Don't leave me" I beg, gripping on to Colby. "Hey" he whispers. "I won't go if you don't want me to, but Jon is here now..." "Don't you dare leave me Colby" I say. He glances across at Jon but nods, sitting in Jon's seat next to me. Jon frowns but sits in the seat at the end of the bed. I blank him out, turning to face Colby and stare at him until I fall asleep.
Voices wake me, I don't know how long later. Jon, and Colby. "What can I do?" Jon whispers. "She won't look at me, she won't let me touch her, but you, you she can hold your hand, and look at you, and talk to you." "I don't know, Jon" Colby whispers back. "What do you want me to do?" "Leave" Jon says bluntly. "Let my wife recover, let me be with her alone." Colby nods, starting to pull his hand out of mine. "No" I whisper, looking up at him. "Don't leave me Colby. Please, don't leave me." "I'm just going to the bathroom" he says softly, glancing across at Jon. I nod and let his hand go, watching as he leaves the room. Jon doesn't even wait for the door to close before sitting in the seat Colby has just left. I stare at him as I tuck my hands back under the covers. "Lora?" he whispers. I say nothing, rolling over and turning my back on him. Sleep is my friend now, it gets me away from him.
He wakes me up talking again. "I don't know what to do" he says quietly. "What to do or what to say to make it better. But I love you Lora, so damn much. These past few days without you have been hell..." That does it. "Hell" I spit, rolling over to face him. "They've been hell for you huh? Oh I do apologise for that Jonny dearest. I mean, these last few days were such a picnic in the park for me! All days blurring in to one, thinking my husband cared and was looking for me and missing me..." "I was!" he yells. "They wouldn't let me look, but I missed you every fucking second Lora!" "Bullshit Jon" I say harshly, wincing as I sit up. "Total fucking bullshit!" He looks at me in surprise as a nurse walks in. "Lora?" she asks softly. "Is everything ok?" "No" I say coldly, looking at her then back at Jon. "My husband was just leaving." He shakes his head slowly. "No" he says. "No Lora, please. I'm not going anywhere." "Go, Jon" I say. "I don't want to see you." "I..." he starts. "Yes you" I yell. "You! Fucking you, Jon! You did this! You made me go! You put me in that car! You turned and walked away without a backwards glance! This is your fault. This is all you! Now get out!" He stands up quickly and runs out of the room.
