DISCLAMIER: I own nothing you recognise, not Georgia or Jas or Dave etc. or Grey's Anatomy or any other reference I put in there...
"Full-blown Waterworks"
"Don't worry, I'll come straight back. I just... I have to break up with Emma."
I gave him a meaningful look. I've heard that one before.
"I promise," Dave said, "Now I'm certain about what I want."
Dave leaned in and kissed me gently on the lips before saying, "Gee, I lo-"
He stopped. Why did he stop? Quit stopping!
"Can't wait to snog your face off Sex Kitty. I'm away laughing on a fast camel."
Answering the phone.
"Hello Georgia, this is Doctor Shepard from the local hospital..."
Oh my god.
Dave's been in a car crash.
Friday October 21st
6.30pm
Hospital of Hell
In the waiting room with Jas and Tom.
After the Doctor said goodbye I managed to pick up the phone and ring Jas. My hands were all shaky.
Jas: Hello?
Me: J-Jas...
Jas: Oh what is it Georgia I'm busy with Tom-
Me: Jas...
Jas: -and we were just about to go see a movie-
Me: Jas...
Jas: -it starts at seven-
Me: Jas...
Jas: WHAT GEORGIA?!
Me: It's ...Da-Dave. He..he's been in a car crash.
Jas: Crikey.
Yes, she is a wise woman of the words as well as the forest. Not.
2 minutes later
Jas did act like a good bestest pally though. She came straight round with Tom and he drove us to the hospital quick as a quick thing.
Tom's rang Dave's parents. He seems pretty upset too. But he is Dave's bestest mate.
30 seconds later
Doctor Shepard, a.k.a "call-me-Alex" came over to speak to us.
It would be a lot easier to concentrate if he wasn't so groovy gravy looking. He reminds me of that guy off Grey's Anatomy. What's his name...McDreamy?
Yep that's one.
5 minutes later
McDreamy led us up to where Dave is recovering after his operation. This hospital is like a maze. We must've gone up like a zillion stairs.
My legs hurt.
2 minutes later
By Dave's bed.
Blubbing.
Dave is unconscious. Which is probably just as well because I don't want him to see me blubbing like this.
He's wearing one of those neck bracey thingys and has lots of needles sticking out of him. Jas got a bit squeemish when she saw so Tom took her out for a bit.
So it's just me sat by Dave the Laugh in his actual bed of pain. Only he's not really Dave the Laugh right now, he's more like Dave the Injured.
Doctor McDreamy said that Dave was in a taxi when it collided with some other car. Probably driven by a granny. Grannies are bad drivers and that is le fact.
4 minutes later
Jas and Tom came back in with McDreamy.
He went to look at some screen-type fandango thingy that was making bleeping noises and had funny lines across then he came over to me with a clipboard.
"So how do you know my patient Georgia?" he said all dreamily.
I looked at Dave and back again. What should I say? Friend? Girlfriend? But am I his girlfriend? He did break up with Emma. But he didn't technically ask me out.
Not yet anyway.
I realised I mustn't have spoken for a while (and probably looked like a frozen fish) because Jas cut in and said, "Friends. They met a few years ago."
McDreamy nodded and said, "Right. It's Dave right?"
I nodded.
"And what's his last name?"
I'm sorry what? Why do they need to know his last name?
1 second later
Hang on, what is Dave's last name?
Laugh?
Oh my god. I don't know Dave's last name. I don't know his last name!
2 seconds later
Blubbing into my hands.
Why am I blubbing? It's only a name.
But it's his last name. A name I should know.
"I – I – I..."
5 seconds later
Jas took me out into the corridor while Tom answered the rest of McDreamy's questions.
"I can't... how can I not know... I wish..."
On in all things holey, I've turned into a jabbering twit. And not un-Ellen like.
"Gee what is it?" Jas asked.
"I... I don't know anything about him Jas!"
Jas shook her head, "Don't be silly of course you do."
"No I don't. I don't know what his favourite colour or sport or music is, I don't know his birthday, I don't know where he lives, I don't even know his name. I don't know anything real!"
Jas sighed. How helpful fringey.
"Georgia listen, -"
Jas stopped. Why did she stop?
2 seconds later
Oh buggeration.
Emma's here.
8.00pm
Back in the waiting room
Sat with Tom while Jas went to the loo. Yes the loo. That is all she can think about at a time like this. Well that and midget gems. But then they make her need the loo so it's back there again.
Tom has his arm around me while I kind of blub into his shoulder. His top is not going to be dry for much longer that is le fact.
It's nice to have a matey-type boy fandango person. Especially one I don't have the horn for. That would just be erlack. Though I probably shouldn't say that to Po since she lobes him an' all.
Still, Hunky is a good mate. He even did a bit of snooping with the whole Emma fiasco. Though the news wasn't exactly great...
Turns out when Tom rang Dave's parents they rang Emma and she came with them to the hospital. And that's not even the worst part.
Dave never reached Emma. He never broke up with her. I.e. she still thinks she is his girlfriend.
Merde.
5 minutes later
Jas has finally returned from the loo extravaganza. I bet she fell down. I'm sure her gigantibus knickers kept her afloat though. They are huge like that.
"I saw Dave's parents down the hall," Jas said.
I looked up agog as an agog thing.
"And?"
"And... that means they've left Dave's room."
My god how extremely dim witted can you be?
"I mean what about Emma Jas?"
She shrugged. "Oh I don't know but I think Dave is alone now if you want to go see him." And she raised her eyebrows at me. Hmm.
Either she knows I want to go sit by Dave's bed and blub or she wants to be alone with Hunky so she can show him some pathetico fossils.
Probably the second one, though you never know.
10 minutes later
Po and Hunky finally convinced me to go and see Dave.
And by that I mean they forced me up out my seat and virtually dragged me down the corridor.
2 minutes later
Outside Dave's room.
To go in or not go in? Now that is the question.
Not go in.
2 seconds later
In, I should see him again.
5 seconds later
But do I really want to see him in this state?
2 seconds later
But what if he's conscious now? Then I can talk to him.
1 second later
No, defiantly not going in.
10 seconds later
By Dave's bed. And blubbing obviously.
He's still got all the tubes in him. And he's not awake yet. Typical.
But on the bright side no sign of Miss caring Emma.
Mmm Dave looks quite groovy for an injured person. Is that possible?
Well he does. Very groovy. Very groovy gravy.
1 second later
Can you snog someone when they're not awake?
3 minutes later
No.
Too many tricky tubes and head gear.
5 minutes later
Leaped back onto my chair like a leaping thing because McDreamy entered.
And not alone.
Yupp, the whole crew are here.
I.e. Jas, Tom, Dave's Mutti, Dave's Vati and Emma. Joys unbounded.
I wonder what the announcement is. Hmmm...
3 seconds later
Jas and Tom came and stood by me while Emma and the olds stayed on the other side of the bed. I'm sensing division but that is just me.
McDreamy eyed us all, did a bit of that coughy-coughy throat-clearing stuff then began to speak.
"I have good and bad news. Dave will make a full physical recovery with only a few scars that will barely be noticeable."
Coughy-cough.
"The bad news is that he hit his head badly and while there was no serious external damage, I'm afraid some internal bleeding did occur in the side of the brain where Dave's memory is. We can't be sure of the full extent of it yet, but it's more than likely that Dave will have lost at least a couple of years."
5 minutes later
McDreamy shuffled out with a blubbing Mutti and Vati, (Dave's not mine).
Everyone else is still here.
And no one has said a word in zonks.
I don't know what to say.
5 seconds later
Oh my god.
A couple of years.
A whole two years of his life lost. Life that he spent with me chatting and laughing and... snogging quite a bit too.
Oh no.
When did I first meet Dave?!
Please please please God don't let it be less than two years ago.
Because that would mean... that would mean...
It would mean that he wouldn't remember me.
2 minutes later
"I need the loo," Jas said pulling Tom out the door.
I wiped my eyes quickly and glared at her. Is her bladder the size of a pea or something?!
"We'll be right out there if you need us," She said really loudly with a lot of eyebrow raising. Way to be subtle Jassy Spazzy.
4 minutes later
The Vole couple still aren't back. I'm beginning to think they took off without me.
Emma is staring at me like a starey thing. Scary potatoes.
I just moved like a tineyweeny inch to sit by Dave's bed and she threw daggers at me worse than Wet Lindsey.
But it's not uncomfortable or complicated in the slightest.
We're just two blubbing girls after the same guy.
Who's unconscious.
And apparently doesn't remember either one of us.
See, simple pimple. Ish.
2 minutes later
Emma took a step closer to Dave's bed and looked at me in a looking-at-me way. If we weren't in such sheer desparadoes I would think she was trying the "stare-at" plan like we did with Wet Lindsey to make her think she had a lurker on her forehead.
1 second later
Unless I actually do have a lurker on my forehead.
Well then Emma is just being rude looking.
5 seconds later
"Georgia we need to talk," she said.
Merde.
I didn't say anything. What should I say?
Nothing, that's what.
"You've got to leave."
I'm sorry, I've got to whatnow?!
What in the name of pantaloons is she on about?!
"You've got to leave before he wakes up."
She's looking at Dave and not me. Not that I want her to look at me, but why is she looking at the guy who just dumped her.
Oh no wait, he didn't dump her did he, because of the accident...
2 seconds later
"I can't do that." I said.
She frowned. "You have to."
"Wh-hy?" I stuttered.
Uh-oh, now she has an angry face on. I thought Dave said she was caring?
"Why? Maybe because you turned my boyfriend into a cheating user!"
WHATTT?!
"No I did not!" I shouted at her, "And Dave isn't your boyfriend, he was going to break up with you tonight!"
Ha that got her.
She looked at me in a looking-way again then looked at Dave all sadly. Not that I care.
"I believe you," she said all quietly. "But now he doesn't know that."
"Yeah and he doesn't know who you are either!"
"But he will do when he wakes up. But he won't know you."
Ok now she's lost me.
"What are you on about Emma?"
She took a deep breath, "You're going to leave and not see Dave again. He's going to wake up and meet me, his girlfriend who he cares about and who cares about him."
Merde, she used the caring word again.
"What?! No! He's not your boyfriend and I won't leave."
Oh no, I feel a blub fest coming on.
2 seconds later
"He is Georgia. And we were happy. Happy until you kept showing up and kept making him miserable. Do you know after he'd seen you he never smiled when I was with him? You're bad for him and I'm good. He has a chance to start again and forget all the times he cheated on me even if I can't forget them. Do you really want him to wake up and learn that he's a cheater and user? He's not a bad person Georgia. Please don't make him think he is one."
Oh my Lord Sandra, why am I blubbing so much?
How can Emma's words hurt me enough to bring on the full-blown waterworks?
I can't let her win. I can't let her have Dave. I know that.
But... but... why do I see her side of it?
Why is she making sense?
5 seconds later
She's looking at me again. "I know you love him Georgia."
I do?
Oh... I guess I do.
Oh my giddy god.
I love Dave.
I do I do I do I love Da-
1 second later
Emma interrupted me.
"And I know you love him enough to let him start over again. Please Georgia. Please leave."
ANOTHER cliffy i know! i can't resist!! :P i think i have OCD for them..
ahhh well...
