The friendship isn't worth the tears unless the friend is.
Chapter 4: The hospital
As the siren of the ambulance was heard in the distance the sound of footsteps nearing was heard closer by Edmund.
"Ed is that Amelia?" he heard Peter say.
"Yes, she's bleeding." Edmund said not looking away from Amelia who was unconscious in his arms.
"Come I'll carry her." Peter said wanting to pick up Amelia.
"NO! I promise I wouldn't leave her!" Edmund said shielding Amelia from Peter.
"Edmund we have to get her out of hear and you're too small to carry her." Peter said moving again to pick her up.
"I said NO what is so hard to understand about that. I'm not leaving her." Edmund said sobbing.
"You don't have to just give her a few minutes so I can carry her to where the ambulance will be, alright." Peter said a little worried seeing his little brother who had changed so much – apparently not so much – sobbing over his friend.
"You don't understand I won't leave her she asked me not to go I won't! I won't, I won't." Edmund yelled and then lowered his voice as if he was speaking to Amelia.
"We have to move her, you can help alright?" Peter asked touching his little brothers shoulder. Edmund sniffed and nodded taking her under her shoulders so Peter knew he had to take her legs.
"She'll be alright." Peter reassured.
"How do you know?" Edmund asked glaring at Peter as they started walking towards their parents. As Peter had no answer to that he didn't answer.
"Is that Amelia?" Lucy asked.
"Yes." Edmund answered taking Amelia in his embrace once again.
When the paramedics arrived they asked where the victims were and George showed them where they were.
"Kid your going to have to let her go." The head paramedic said to Edmund who shook his head.
"No, why not?" The paramedic asked and Peter pulled him aside and said : "It's his best friend and she asked him not to leave, maybe he could ride with her in the ambulance."
"We'll see what we can do, son." the paramedic said.
"Hey kid, how would you like to ride with your friend to the hospital?" he said as he approached Edmund.
"I can?" Edmund asked looking up to the man who saw the tears in and around Edmund's eyes.
"Sure." He said as he picked up both Amelia and Edmund who refused to let go as they laid Amelia on the stretcher. Edmund was in a kind of trance as he heard and saw the people prodding at Amelia still crying.
By the time they had reached the hospital the paramedics had found out that Amelia had a head injury and that she had to have a surgery. They rushed Amelia inside with Edmund still holding her hand. When they came at the door that had a sign that said 'not for unauthorized persons' "Kid, you're going to have to let go now." the paramedic said.
"No, I promised I wouldn't leave her." Edmund said shaking his head and tears in his eyes.
"Ed, come on you can't go in there." Peter said trying to take Edmund's hand.
"No, Peter I'm not coming with you!" Edmund yelled pulling back his hand.
"Ed, don't be like this, this isn't going to help Amelia." Peter said as he grabbed Edmund's waist with all the power of his 9 year old body. Edmund started kicking and wailing for Peter to let him go. At the point at which Peter saw that the door closed and let Edmund go who sank on the ground sobbing hysterically.
"Edmund sweetie, there's nothing you can do now, she'll be alright." Helen said hugging her youngest son.
"No let me go!" Edmund yelled shrugging off his mothers hug and hugging his knees. Some people that passed in the corridor looked a little shocked at the little boy who was sitting in the middle of the hallway sobbing hysterically.
"Ed, it's no use crying." Peter said touching his brother who yelled "DON'T TOUCH ME! LEAVE ME ALONE!" then went back to sobbing.
"Dad it's no use no-one can comfort him expect for Amelia." Peter said looking at his father who tried to go and comfort him.
"Come on Ed, why don't you sit on the chairs." George said leading his youngest son to the chairs in the waiting room.
After waiting for 1 hour Frank and Maria Anderson joined the Pevensies in waiting for Amelia with Frank's left arm in a cast and Maria on crutches with her foot in a cast. After waiting for yet another 2 hours the doctor came and asked : "Mr. and Mrs. Anderson?"
"Yes." Frank and Maria said as they stood.
"Could I speak to you in private." He asked.
"Sure." They said as the went to the office of the doctor.
"Your daughter is in a coma, she doesn't open her eyes to pain but she does grunt to the pain and flexes her hands when we touch them." the doctor said as Frank and Maria looked at each other.
"Are visits allowed?" Maria asked.
"Only from family and people who got permission of the family." the doctor said.
"Thank you sir. Maybe you should tell the Pevensies that as well." Frank said.
"Who?" he asked.
"The people in the waiting room with the four children." Frank answered and so they went to the waiting room.
"Helen, George." Maria said as she entered the room.
"Yes what's wrong?" Helen asked standing up.
Before Frank told her and George he motioned to the kids to come closer. "Amelia is in a coma." as Frank said this Edmund who had calmed down a bit by now started sobbing again.
"Edmund why don't you go and visit her with us?" Maria asked crouching down to his eye-level. He only nodded. As Amelia's parents and Edmund saw Amelia, Edmund ran to her side and squeezed her hand he felt a squeeze as well.
"She squeezed back doesn't that mean something?" Edmund asked looking at his best friend who was deadly pale.
"That doctor said that she reacted to touches on her hand." Frank said.
"Frank why don't we leave him with her for a while, while we tell that Edmund can visit her." Maria said to her husband he only nodded as response.
Edmund didn't realize he was alone. "Am, why did you have to fall in a coma. I don't want to lose you, I'm sorry I hurt you I really am. I wished I never did. I failed you I didn't stay with you like I promised. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry." He whispered to Amelia and he started sobbing again holding her hand and laying his head on her bed hoping she wouldn't die.
Well people that's it! That was kind of a sad chapter. The big question is will Amelia ever come out of her coma? If you want to know you'll have to keep reading.
Thanks for all the wonderful reviews.
