The Other Reagan Girl
Chapter 4- The Accident & The Hospital
Holly had been with Jamie for the past two days and things were going quite well, not as well as Jamie wanted. Holly was happy that he had stopped her nightmares by simply putting on a light and staying with her for a little bit longer.
Jamie had the day off work since he had done a double tour the day before. While Holly had been at school, Jamie had made a few changes to his apartment. He needed to prove to Holly that no matter what, he was there to stay.
He looked at a family photo, he saw Holly sitting in between himself and Joe "don't worry Joe; I'll take care of her. I won't hurt her anymore. I promise" Jamie looked at the time, it was almost time to get Holly from school then he was going to treat her to pizza then maybe a movie from the movie rental store.
Jamie picked up Holly from school but as he was walking to his car, he saw his phone light up and the ID read Danny. He knew this couldn't be good news. "Reagan" Danny finally sat down "Hey Kid, I need a favour" Jamie could hear panic in Danny's voice "Danny what's wrong?" Jamie held Holly close to him "I I came home to get some lunch with Linda and I found her on the kitchen floor; I'm at the hospital now with her. Could you" Jamie cut him off "I'm on it, I'll get the boys and bring them to you" Danny ran his hand over his face "I owe you little brother" Jamie opened the car door for Holly "family Danny it's what we do"
Jamie arrived at the hospital with Holly and the boys, Jack looked in the window "what's wrong with mom?" Danny placed his arms around his boys "She passed out, the doctors said she's overworked with working any shifts she can here and looking after us, she hasn't been taking good care of herself"
Sean looked through the window "but she'll be okay?" Danny nodded "yes buddy, she will stay here for at least a day and she'll be fine but she'll have to take it easy"
Holly just looked through the window at her aunt, she had a flashback to when she looked through the window and it was Joe lying in the bed with machines and tubes hooked up to him. She remembered hearing the doctors tell the adults that it wasn't looking good and they didn't think Joe would last the night.
Holly remembered Frank bending down to her level and telling her that Joe was injured badly and he couldn't hold on any longer. She hadn't set foot in a hospital since that day.
Before anyone could react, Holly was running down the corridor and towards the front doors and outside. Jamie ran after her "Holly!" Jamie caught up with her when she was sitting on the bench outside, tears streaming down her face.
Jamie held her "Hey sshh, it's okay. Aunt Linda is going to be fine" Holly looked at him "I I remem remember" Jamie held her close to him "the day Joe got brought in" Holly nodded. She placed her hand into her pocket and pulled out his badge
Jamie picked her up and carried her back inside "I know this is the last place you wanna be Holly but Sean and Jack need you" Holly just held on to Jamie. They re-joined everyone, they all understood why she ran off but it wasn't safe for her to do that.
A few minutes later and Linda was awake and apologizing for scaring everyone especially Danny. "Take her home Jamie" Jamie looked at Linda "are you sure?" Linda nodded. Holly was still on Jamie's lap but facing out of the hospital room's window.
As Jamie left the room, the family waved to Holly and she waved back. They all saw the tear stains down her face. "She must of remembered Uncle Joe" Erin placed her arm around Nicki "Yea must be hard for her, it's hard for all of us but Joe was her only parent"
Jamie put Holly down on the couch "I smell paint" Jamie smiled "I did some decorating while you were at school, would you like to see what I did?" Holly nodded. Jamie covered her eyes and led her into what was the spare bedroom and for the rest of the week her room.
Jamie removed his hands "what do you think?" Jamie had painted the walls a light purple, placed some family photo's around the room and made it more girly. Holly smiled "I love it, looks like my old room back home" Jamie bent down to her level "I did this so you know that if you ever want to stay here then you can Holly, I want this to be your home too and to show you I'm not going anywhere"
