The Wake Confession Part 3.
CHAPTER 10
"Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep, Be..." Oliver's alarm clock stopped as he threw it across the room. Jac heard a smash and walked into Ollie's room to find out what the noise was. She walked in to find a completely demolished alarm clock and Oliver fast asleep, as per usual. She found a pillow on his floor and threw it at him, hoping it would wake him up.
"Ow!" he said, still half asleep.
"Wake up you lazy git! We'll be late for Mary Claire's trial otherwise!" she said to him as he stood up and tried to find some clothes. "Oh and put some clothes on."
Oliver turned to her and laughed, "I have got got SOME clothes on!"
"Shut up Valentine, just hurry up" she said but she couldn't hide her grin. She was starting to get more attracted to Oliver all the time.
The pair of them met up with Oliver's mother and step dad outside of the court, Tara was also there. Jac walked up to Tara once Ollie had gone in and said to her
"What are you doing here?"
"Well I was the one who supported Oliver throughout Jess's death! Where were you when it all happened?" Tara shouted.
"There for him 24/7, holding his hand when he broke down about everything, there when his own wife spit up with him and kicked him out, I'm the one that took him in and carried on supporting him! Unlike you!" she shouted back. Oliver's mum came outside and said that they were ready start. Jac and Tara looked at eachother and walked inside separately.
The first part of the court case went by and Mary Claire admitted to murder. Then it was time for her to say why she did it...
"Can you please explain to us why you murdered Miss Davies!" the judge asked her.
"last year me and my sister were out, just for a walk and we came across a bunch of girls who started shouting and threatening us then one pulled out a knife. The girls obviously knew my sister because after they stabbed her I asked her who they were and she said, right before she took her last breath. When I found out who killed Jess, I found out that it was the same bunch of girls that killed my sister, I had to do something about it!" Mary Claire explained.
Mary Claire ended up getting 15 years imprisonment. Everyone was shocked at the reason she killed the person that took Jess's life away from her.
After the court case had finished, Oliver walked out and demanded to be left on his own but his mum wouldn't listen. She followed him without him knowing until he got to Jac's house. Oliver's mother didn't know that him and Tara had split up.
"What are you doing here? Who's house is this?" she asked her son.
"How...What...Did you follow me?" he questioned.
"Yes, I don't want you being on your own. Have you moved house or something?"
"No, me and Tara have split up, i'm living with Jac, the red head woman who was at the court with me" he tried to explain to his mum.
"Oh, right well I'm not getting involved in all that. Are you going to be ok on your own until this Jac woman comes home?"
"Yes mum I'll be fine, just go, please!" he begged. His mum then walked away. Jac got home an hour or so later to find him unconscious on the floor.
"What the hell?" she said as she rushed to him. Jac put him in the recovery position but found an empty packet of tables in his hand and an opened bottle of vodka on the table. Jac knew he'd tried to take his own life...
CHAPTER 11
AAU's doors flew open with huge force, Luc and Eddie were pushing the trolley with a dangerously ill Oliver laying half dead on it. Luc, completely unaware that it was Oliver laying there, asked
"Right who have we got here? Does anyone know?"
Jac looked at him puzzled and said "Oliver Valentine, 27."
"Crap what the hell happened?" Luc worried.
"I think he's tried to commit suicide, he's taken quite a few doses of diazepam and half a bottle of vodka, I got home and he was unconscious on the floor!" She panicked.
"Jac just come with me, Luc will try his best to make Ollie better ok?" Eddie tried to reassure her as they walked into the family area.
Hours and hours passed with no information on him, until Luc burst in screaming that they need to take him into theatre straight away or he'll die. Jac stood up and followed them to the theatre but had to wait outside.
jac stood there, absolutely still with tears falling from her eyes, was she about to lose the person she loves?
After two hours Luc pushed the trolley with Oliver on it out and said to her
"He's going to be ok, he's going to take a long time to recover fully though, he might not ever fully recover saying that, we don't know yet, not until he wakes up. He put himself in a lot of danger today and has done some damage to his kidneys, you need to keep a close eye on him, oh and you need to consider getting counselling for him"
"I will, thanks Luc" Jac sighed.
Oliver woke about an hour later,
"Jac?" he said.
"Yes, i'm here don't worry" Jac said as she held his hand. "Why Oliver? you could've died! you nearly did! why did you do that?"
"I can't do this anymore! everything in my life is bad, always has been! I mean, there was that stuff with my dad, then Penny died, now Jess has died, I just wanted to end everything in my life so badly" Ollie cried.
"Hey, c'mon, look things will get better i promise, please promise you won't do something stupid like this again" Jac pleaded.
"I won't, I swear"
A week later and Oliver was discharged from hospital and was told to rest at home for a month, he was also told to attend counselling for a while, he wasn't happy about it but he had no choice, especially as she was trying to disagree with Jac of all people!
CHAPTER 12
Oliver returned to work two months later after having to go back in to have an emergency operation after one of kidneys gave up but it seemed for now he was getting better and it was certain he bored at home.
He walked onto Darwin Ward alongside Jac but kept quiet and his head hanging down. He had a few people come up to him to see how he was doing but he just kept himself to himself, even more than usual.
"Hey, how's it going mate? you all better now?" Jonny walked up to him and asked.
"Yeah, Yeah I think so, thanks, just a bit tired" he slowly replied.
"Well let's hope you are better eh!" Jonny
"Yeah"...
A quiet hour in terms of patients past until someone quite unexpected turned up...
"Excuse me, where is Oliver Valentine? I need to talk to him"
"Are you a relative or something? Elliot asked the person.
"Yes i'm his mother, can you tell me where he is please?"
"Mum?" he said from behind her.
"You and me need to talk, now!" she said sternly.
"No, you can say whatever it is here!" he said back to her.
"Ok... WHAT WERE YOU PLAYING AT YOU PRAT! YOU NEARLY DIED! IS THAT WHAT YOU WANTED?" she screamed. Oliver was silent. "WELL?"
"YES! OK, I WANTED THAT TO HAPPEN! SHAME IT NEVER DID!" he shouted back. The whole ward went silent as he looked around then looked back at his mother. He looked into her eyes, she had a strong look of anger in them. After a few seconds he stormed off and very shortly after his mum walked out.
Jac went to follow Ollie but Jonny caught her and said
"Just leave him, i'll go after him"
"What makes you think he'll want to talk to you?" she asked.
"Man to man chat sort of thing, just a thought" he replied.
"Sort of man to immature childish idiot chat more like, you being the second one" she said back. There was a moment of silence then Jac sighed and said ok then walked back onto the ward.
"Hey, you alright?" Jonny asked as he sat near to Oliver who was sitting on the floor in the corner of the store room.
"Leave me alone Jonny" Oliver mumbled.
"Right now I don't think that's a good idea sorry" Jonny pointed out. Oliver just remained quiet. "Why did you do that Ollie? Why put yourself in that much danger?" he concerned.
"You know nothing about me" Ollie snapped.
"You're my mate, i'm just trying to understand, c'mon you can talk to me right?"
"Look things have happened in my life that I have struggled to cope with, I don't wanna say what but both my sisters dying in the space of just over a year just messed up everything and I hated being alive. Good enough explanation?" Oliver said.
"Is that why you did what you did?"
"Yeah, can you just leave me alone now?" Oliver sighed.
"You know I can't Ollie" Jonny sighed. After a few moments of silence Jonny asked
"What were your sisters like? I've heard a bit about Penny, she sounded like a nice person." Ollie paused then said
"Yeah she was an amazing person, they both were!"
"How old would they be now?"
"Erm... Penny would be about 29ish now and Jess would still be 15" Ollie said. "I've got 2 other brothers who are still alive, Jordan, he's 19 and Jess's twin, Ryan, who's 15 obviously but me and them don't get on so technically it's just me now" Ollie sighed.
"Ah right, how come?" Jonny asked.
"Drugs, booze, that sort of stuff. They went off the rails a couple of years ago, about 4 years ago. They became addicts and I disagreed with them about it and Jordan started waving a knife around threatning to stab me. Me and them haven't spoken since"
"Oh"
"They're prats" Ollie laughed a little, Jonny also laughed. Jac walked into the room and sat by the boys.
"You ok Oll?" she asked. Ollie nodded then stood up.
Jonny and Jac stood up soon after and Jac said
"My shift has finished now, how about we both just go home and relax a bit yeah?". Oliver paused
"Yeah ok just don't keep asking me if i'm ok please, i'm fine, honestly" he said as he walked up to her and hugged her.
"You better bloody be!" she said before gently kissing him.
"I'll see you both, take care mate" Jonny said as he gently patted Ollie on the back. Jonny had previously seen the scars on Oliver whilst in the changing rooms but didn't ask about it.
"I'll be back now" Jac said to Oliver as she went to run after Jonny. "Jonny wait" she shouted after him. "Thanks for today, really i mean it".
"It's no problem, make sure he gets some rest tonight yeah"
"I will, thanks again" Jac said as she walked off.
That night Jac and Oliver had a bit of a row and they both decided he needs more time off, A LOT more time off...
CHAPTER 13
2 Months Later...
Oliver was still not back at work but he was almost fully recovered. Mo had given birth to a baby boy by now and was on maternity leave. Jac was at work one day when there was a knock on the front door, it was Mo and her baby.
"Hey! room for me and a little one?" she laughed
"Yeah, yeah come in" he opened the door wider to let them in.
"How you doing? Jac said you're on the mend" Mo said,
"Yeah I'm getting better now I think, thanks" Ollie smiled. "Take it the little one's yours"
"No I stole him from the shopping centre on the way here" Mo sarcastically said. Oliver just stood and laughed then he said,
"C'mon through, sorry it's a bit of a mess, we can't be arsed to tidy up lately"
"It's ok" Mo laughed, "Wanna hold him?"
"Erm yeah ok" he replied nervously as Mo passed over her baby boy. Oliver sat down on the sofa with the tiny child in his arms, the baby started to fall asleep in his arms straight away.
"You're a natural, I can never get him to go to sleep that quick!" Mo sounded surprised.
"What's his name?" Oliver asked.
"I haven't thought of one yet to be honest, I was hoping you would help me" Mo replied.
"Yeah ok, what sort of name are aiming for?"
"Something not as commonly heard or known as other names but not something old or weird, if you get me?"
Oliver said a few names and after a bit Mo said,
"Got it! Mitchell-Oliver Effanga"
"Hello Mitchell-Oliver" Ollie said as he gently held the little boy's hand.
"Could be Mitch or Mitch-Oliver for short" She said as Ollie passed back her son. They heard footsteps in the hallway then Jac appeared.
"Oh hi, aw this your little lad then?" Jac said as she sat by them.
"Yeah, Mitchell-Oliver. Ollie helped me name him so I thought i'd add his name."
"Ah right, can I hold him?" Jac asked enthusiastically.
"Yeah of course" Mo said as she passed her baby to yet another person.
"God he's tiny" She laughed.
Mo left an hour or so later and Ollie seemed happy for the first time in a while. Jac walked up to him and said,
"Ollie, I need to speak to you, it's really important."
"Yeah one second" Ollie said.
"Now Oliver"
"Ok yeah what?" Oliver said as he turned to face his girlfriend.
"I'm pregnant, 2 months"
