Chapter twelve: Addiction…to each other
St James General Hospital
Josh sat in the waiting room hunched over so his hands laid on his knees and his head rested on his hands wishing, praying Abby was ok. The wound seemed deep and from what he had learned from med school that he could lose the use of her arm and should if it had hit the connection to the nerve. His ears never picked up any sound it felt like the world was on mute and he was just some empty soul looking for a purpose to life. Soon he felt a hand on his shoulder but he didn't respond he just hunched there tears in his eyes.
Elektra walked into the waiting room and spotted Josh leaning over his self looking as he if couldn't live anymore. Before she knew it her feet had taken her over to him and placed her hand on his shoulder, but he didn't flinch, flicker nor move, he was just there sitting. She sat beside him in the chair that seemed to worn out for a waiting room but she didn't complain just sat waiting for Abby. After an hour or so Josh sat up and looked over at Elektra "hey" she whispered
Josh nodded his eyes red from holding back tears "hey E."
"She's going to be fine" Elektra assured him
"I don't know" he closed his eyes as if it hurt too much to see
"Josh she's strong and she's been through a lot more than this" she rested her hand on his shoulder again
"I know but…" he trailed off when he saw the doctor walk up to him
She could have been older than Elektra, with her dark black hair with almost a blue hue to it in the light and her tall slim figure she could have been a super model if she wanted to, and to top it all of a pair of black framed glasses sat proudly on her nose holding there position before she spoke "Are you…Mr. Hunt?" the female doctor asked him
Josh stood "yes, is Abby ok? Can I see her?" he rushed his questions
"Whoa slow down Mr. Hunt, Miss. Miller has just gotten out of surgery her shoulder was severely wounded and she had a few cracked ribs, do you have any idea what she was doing?" the doctor asked
"No I have no idea, but I know she is a dare devil so she could have been doing anything" Josh lied, he knew exactly what she had done that night "can I see her?"
Elektra stood too "I'm sorry I'm Elektra her friend, this is Josh her boyfriend" she held out her hand
The doctor took her hand "It's fine I would be the same in his position, I'm Dr. Hail but everyone just calls me Emily"
Josh looked over the doctor's shoulder "can I see her now?" he asked repeatedly
"Yeah but she might still be asleep" the doctor couldn't even finish before Josh took off "Room North 23!" she yelled out
"Again I'm sorry but he's hasn't seen her in a while" Elektra smiled as they both walked to the room "so will she be ok?"
The Doctor started "well it's to early to tell if she will be able to use her left arm and shoulder but from what we have seen it's a good chance she will be with some physiotherapy and a lot of work and we have put a sling on it for her comfort, some of her ribs where cracked as if she was attacked or something but those with heal up in no time if she stays away from anymore daring activities, and she had also lost a lot of blood but after some rest she should be ok" she ended
Elektra sighed before they reached the room "I'll be back later" the doctor said and walked down the hallway
She peeked into the door to find Josh kneeling by the bed where Abby laid silently her face drained of all the colour that she had before. After watching Josh for a while she decided she would come back later and talk to Abby and let them have some time alone.
He held her hand in both of his "I'm so sorry Abby this is all my fault, if I didn't say that I said I could have prevented this, we could be back at school" he pause and let a few tears out "I'm so sorry Abby" he kept repeating
Abby's eyes fluttered open "Fuck" she groaned
Josh sat up "Abby oh my god, baby are you ok?" he kissed her hand
She looked around the room then sat up but not after regretting it when she winced in pain from her ribs. He laid her back down on the bad "don't move baby you where hurt"
Abby looked over at Josh "where am I?"
"Your at the hospital, I found you in an alley fighting some guy" he explained "he got you right in the shoulder with his sword, are you ok?" he asked again
"Umm not really but I'll get better" she closed her eyes thankful that Josh was the only one here
"Abby I'm so sorry, it's all my fault that you're here, in pain" he took her hand again
"What- no it's not your fault I went out and got myself into trouble" she opened her eyes and looked into Josh's violet ones
"Yes it is Abby if I hadn't said and did the things that I did at the club you would have been at home and never would have gotten hurt" he said as if it hurt to say it
"Josh no I just needed to get away for a while I just wasn't you it was everything I needed to sort a lot of stuff out, school, our relationship, Nikkie, my mom's death" she sighed then coughed and winced
"Your mom's death?" he asked
"Yeah it's November 15th and today was the day the found my mom dead in our apartment" she sniffed holding back tears
Josh kissed her forehead soft, he had known of her mothers death but she had never gone into detail about maybe it just cause it hurt to much to talk about or it was cause she never felt close enough to really feel like she could greave but it really wasn't something that talked about all that much and now today was her anniversary of her death and Josh never knew. He felt as though he couldn't help. Did Elektra know? Was he the only one she didn't tell or was it everyone? He wasn't going to push this anymore. "Abby you don't have to deal with this yourself you have to many people to not tell anyone" he smiled
"I know but I don't like to talk about her all that much even though I love her it's just a touchy subject for me" she closed her eyes once again, this time out of tiredness
Josh nodded and understood "Get some rest baby you need it" he kissed her again this time on her soft lips
She slowly but surely slipped into a silent rest filled with the few memories of her dead mother. He couldn't help but think why dose this have to happen to the people he loved, both his mother and father where dead so where Abby and Nikkie's but Abby seemed to be the one that held in all the pain she never wanted to burden anyone, she was supposed to be the one that comforted everyone else and now she needed to be comforted the most. Elektra suddenly and silently walked into the room as if a shadow had done when the sun came up. Josh was still standing over Abby his hand never leaving hers and it would be till he knew she was ok. It was an addiction to him, she was his addiction and he could never get enough to full him.
Stick's compound
Matt sat silently in the dojo 'watching' Lily train with the help of the wind and other noises. Lily had started training with Stick in perfecting the kimagouri technique and surprisingly for a two year old she was great at it. He had not slept since Elektra left to go see Abby and he probably wouldn't until she returned. Stick smiled at the little child, he almost seemed like a grandfather to Lily and she had even seen it when she called him "Grandpa Stick" which made Matt laugh every time he herd that. He wondered what Elektra would think when she came back to find "Grandpa Stick" and Lily laughing while they trained…it would not be a happy scene…or would it?
Hayley and Gareth's apartment
Hayley laughed as she watched Gareth try to plug in the black and white T.V she had found the morning, since the plug was on the other side of the room and the T.V was so heavy that both of them could hardly move it. Gareth connected cords together and was almost to the plug he had about five centimeters to go but the T.V wasn't budging. "Damn thing!" he yelled and laid on the ground panting
Hayley kept laughing, walked over took the cord walked back to the couch leaned down and plugged the cord into the outlet which was there the whole time and Gareth had never seen it. "You men just make more work for yourselves" she giggled
Gareth watched over to her "why didn't you tell me that that was there?" he scratched the back of his neck and sat down, right on top of Hayley.
"Get off of me!" she yelled over his body which was a lot bigger than hers
"Never!" he laughed
"I can't breath" she yelled
"Why did you forget? Here I'll show you" he imitated breathing and laughed
"You're going to crush me" she yelled again
Gareth stood "there" but as soon as she took a few breaths he sat back down on her
"GARETH GET THE HELL OFF OF ME!" she screamed
He jumped up so fast she only saw a blur before landing on the floor his button up shirt ripping open and landing over his head. Hayley looked down seeing holes in his back as if he had fallen on poles "what the fuck happened" she kneeled on the floor beside him running her fingers over the red holes.
"Just got burnt at work then...umm…head cook decided to play a trick and fling hot eggs at me and they burnt" he said
"These aren't burns Gareth, tell me what happened" she looked at him
"What I said happened I got burnt" he stood up anger in his eyes which never happened unless he was really angry and stomped off into his room and falling onto his bed
Hayley had never seen him so angry with her maybe he was the telling the truth but something inside of her told her that he wasn't and she needed to find out what he had done. She trusted Gareth and if he had lied to her –which bothered her a lot- then she could never trust him again, then who would she have left…no one.
