When the doctor closes the door behind him Gillian recline on the pillow and shrug her knees hugging them in her arms. Tears come to her eyes when she looks at the container in her hand. Now that she have a diagnostic and her medication she could dress and go back home. The doctor assured her that she was doing fine and that won't be more complications if she take the pills. But she couldn't move her body from that bed. She definitely wants to go home and keep her life going, but she knows it's not possible. Nothing's going to be the same now. Before she realizes she's going to need lift home someone starts knocking outside the door.
"Come in!" Gillian says cleaning her tears with a tissue. A sudden smile shows on her face when Emily walks inside her room.
"Hello Gillian, how's everything? I've heard the good news!"
Gillian shrugs a shoulder and says: "Yes, looks like I'm going home! Sooner I get dressed and find a lift. I don't have my car here probably I'm going to call a taxi!"
Emily frowns and then declares "Are you inside? I'm here to pick you up and take you home!"
Gillian shocks her head and laughing asks the young driver: "Are you sure it's safe Emily!"
"There's no discussion here, it's me or I'm calling Dad!" when Emily mentions Cal she get up from bed and star picking up her things.
"There's no need to call Cal, he's at the office probably dealing with some difficult stuff! I'll be here in a minute and then we can go!"
Emily nods and sits at the end of the bed waiting for Gill.
When they arrive at her house Gillian invites Emily to come in for some tea and she excuses herself because Liam is waiting for her
"Another time Gill, I've got Liam waiting! Then I'll call you, ok?
Gillian nods and waves goodbye to her lift getting in the house. She could thank God for Emily showing up at the hospital. She definitely didn't want to call her father and wasn't in the mood to pick up a taxi. She was starting to fell her head hurt again and she grabs a container left on the table yesterday. After taking some tea and cookies she takes her pill and get upstairs to her bed.
Four hours later Gillian wakes up with her phone ringing.
"Yes!" she answers with a sleepy voice when she picks up.
"Foster, are you ok? Why didn't you call me? I came to the hospital and there's no sign of you and they say you've been discharged. Where are you woman?" he's voice stressed out and Gillian couldn't help but start laughing.
"Hey, I'm a grown-up and I can take care of me!"
Cal starts to calm down.
"Your lovely daughter brought me home because I didn't have my car and she was at the hospital when I was discharged!"
Cal sigh "Emily! She didn't tell me anything these days! Damn girls!"
Gillian smiles and asks: "So, can I go back to sleep Cal? Are you satisfied?"
Cal makes a strange sound "Sure, I'm sorry I've to wake you up, but I was worried about you! Go back to sleep I'll seen you then!"
"Oh Cal, I'm not coming to the office tomorrow. Is that ok with you?"
"Sure, you need to rest and get better. Then we think about you coming back. I'll come there tomorrow to check on you!"
Gillian holds her breath and then she speaks:
"Its better you not came here because... I'll be going to see the doctor again... Probably I won't be in the house!"
Cal knows she's lying but he conceal with her "Ok, love! If you need something call me back!"
"Ok, see you then, bye!" Once she hangs up the phone Gillian have some pressure in her heart. She needs to face him and talk about the future but definitely this isn't something to be told in a phone call. Right now she's not in a good place to do anything, first she need to figure it out for herself. There's so much going on her head, maybe thats the reason she's having this stupid migraines. Once she let him know what's going on maybe she feels better. "When I tell him maybe my head will be empty from all this silly thoughts!" Gillian thought loud trying to make it sound real. Tomorrow won't be a better day. She'll think about that and the best way to approach him. She'll come around. Even if something goes wrong she needs to face the truth and the sooner it happens the best for her. She needs to learn about several things in the future, hopefully Cal will be there for her when she needs him.
