Okay so I finally wrote quite a lot. Well quite a lot for me. So please Review or leprechauns will eat you! You have been warned.
Chapter 16 – Die Hard Part 2
Manfred's POV:
She was in hospital for weeks. They wouldn't let her go to a proper hospital because they wanted to avoid explaining how it happened. So did I for that matter.
It was all my fault.
I just wanted her to wake up. She had to be alright.
If anything happened to her, then I swear to god….
Each day, I visited her when nobody was around. Her friends had made it pretty clear they didn't want me anywhere near her.
Each day I brought her flowers. Bluebells, her favourite.
On the weekends, I would stay with her for most of the day, hoping she'd wake up.
It was a Saturday, three weeks after the incident.
I was holding her hand, and speaking to her softly. I told her all about my family and about me.
"Summer, there's something I need to tell you."
No answer.
"I think I'm….I'm…" I struggled to get the words out.
"Summer, I think I'm falling in love with you." I whispered.
Still no answer.
I went to go get a drink. When I returned, my heart skipped a beat. She was awake! I saw her eyes were open, but struggling to stay that way.
"Summer! Are you okay?" I rushed to her side.
"Yeah…I think so…my head hurts." She groaned and I chuckled.
"What happened?" She asked.
"You don't remember anything?"
"Should I?"
"Um…"
There was a long pause as she gazed at me waiting for an answer, her face so innocent. I wondered if she had heard me confess my feelings to her. Probably not.
"No." I replied.
"I remember the fight, and I got knocked out…but it's really blurry and its starting to slip away from me." She said, more to herself that me.
I gave her a guilty look.
"I'm really sorry." I whispered, and Summer gave me a weak smile as she tried to sit up.
"It's okay. So wanna tell me the verdict?" She flashed me a grin.
"Well you've got a mild concussion and you've broken your arm. Oh and a few cuts and bruises."
"Perfect. Just perfect." She muttered.
I stared at her for a while. Her honey-brown eyes stared out into space, as if she were thinking carefully about something. Her brown curls flew in the breeze emitting from the fan.
"So what day is it exactly?" She asked.
"Saturday 17th January."
"Wow." Was all she could say, "It's been a while."
"Yeah…"
"What are you doing here?"
I looked at her, to see if she was serious, and boy was she serious.
"I thought you wouldn't want to be alone when you wake up, and plus this is all my fault, so…" I shrugged my shoulders.
"Okay, Well…Thanks."
"Your sister and your mum were both here yesterday, by the way." I said, without looking at Summer.
"They were?"
"Yeah, they asked me to tell you that they love you and hope you get better soon."
She smiled and closed her eyes. She didn't open them for ages so assumed she had fallen asleep.
Now Review this chapter please. Sorry if it might be a little short, I dunno.
Plus don't you reckon Neighbours is getting really good now?
I mean its good now even at UK pace, but at Aussie pace it is amazing.
PWahaha and yes you caught me. I stole the names Summer and Andrew from Neighbours because I was watching Neihgbours when I thought of this story ages ago.
Thanks for reviewing all those who did. Thanks for all your support. Love you guys!
