Tori's P.O.V
As soon as my Dad had came home and told us what happened, Jade insisted that she wanted to see her mom even though he said it wasn't for the best. After some convincing on my part for Jade, he finally agreed to take us to the hospital. Dad had warned me that we were probably going to be shocked at what we saw, but I know that Jade wants to see her mom and no one has the right to deny her that.
We finally reached the hospital and Jade rushed out the car going to the front desk demanding to know which room her mother was in, we got told that she had just came out of surgery and was in recovery and we could see her if we wanted.
A nurse took us to her room, while my Dad said his goodbyes saying he was going back to the station to try and see if he could find out anymore about the accident.
"Oh my god" Jade whispered and literally froze in the doorway to Sarah's room; I held Jade's hand and took in the sight in front of me. Sarah was lying in a hospital bed with tubes coming from her mouth, and wires attached all over her body. It reminded me of Jade when she was in hospital, which made me automatically pull her closer.
"Come on" I whispered, and helped Jade walk forward towards the hospital chairs.
Jade moved the chair closer to the bed and sat down taking her mother's hand.
"I'm so sorry" I heard Jade whisper quietly, she sounded so broken, I could detect a little bit of guilt in her voice as she said those three words. My heart almost broke at the sight of Jade; she had tears streaming down her face and was gripping her mom's hand like her life depended on it.
I put my hand on her shoulder letting her know I'm here for her; she looked up and smiled at me gratefully before moving her eyes back to Sarah.
...
We'd been at the hospital for almost two hours now, Jade still hadn't moved from the way she had been at the beginning and I'd moved a chair close to hers.
There was still no news about how Sarah was, but every so often a couple of nurses came in to check on her.
"Jade?" A doctor asked gently as he walked into the room.
We both stood up to hear what he had to say.
"How is she?" Jade's voice was drained, I could tell she was tired after everything that's happened this past week but I didn't want to say anything to upset her.
"At this point it's hard to say if your mom is going to make a full recovery, and we can't tell how long she is going to be in a coma for. However we did find a high level of alcohol in her system"
"Wait, so she was drunk driving?" I asked the doctor in disbelief.
"I'm afraid that's how it looks" The doctor replied with a sad look on his face, he gave us a small smile before leaving the room.
"I can't believe it, how could she do this?" Jade asked, tears began to fall from her eyes once again. She spoke with her anger in her voice, which was understandable but I don't want her stressing herself out a lot.
"Jade, calm down, do you want to stay here or go home?" I asked gently, my voice quite.
"I don't have a home" Jade cried.
"My home is your home Jade" I sighed pulling her into a tight hug which she happily accepted.
"Can we go home then? I really just need to think about this away from here. Anyway my dad will probably be here soon and I don't want to bump into him"
"Okay, come on then"
As soon as me and Jade got out side we stopped, I looked toward Jade and saw the fear on her face as her farther stood in front of us.
"What are you doing here?" The tall man snarled at Jade, how can a man even talk to their own flesh and blood like that?
"I came to see mom" Was her response, it was short and it was obvious she was trying to get away from him as fast as possible but who can blame her?
"Well don't bother coming back, it's probably your fault she's here now get lost"
"How dare you" I said raising my voice a little louder before Jade was able to say anything.
"Excuse me?" He said.
"You heard me; you have no right to speak to her like that!"
"Tori, its okay let's just go"
"You'd be smart to listen to her, unless you want to find out what happens to people who don't"
"Don't even bother trying to threaten me, because after how you've treated Jade I swear to god I could kill you. Do you even know where your daughter was a few days ago?" I said angrily.
"Of course I did, but did it not occur to you that I didn't care"
That was it, as soon as those words left his mouth my hand connected with his face, he brought a hand up to cover his cheek a look of shock mixed with anger.
"You're a sad excuse for a man, and an even sadder excuse for a farther. Now let's get one thing clear, if you ever bother Jade in any way again I swear it's going to be the biggest regret of your life" I said before grabbing Jade's hand and walking away from him.
"You didn't have to do that for me" Jade said as we walked out the hospital and sat down on the bench outside. I quickly texted my dad for him to come and pick us up, which he replied to instantly.
"My dad will be here soon, and I know I didn't have to but I wanted to" I said giving Jade a small smile.
"Why though?"
I shrugged "Because I love you"
"You still didn't have to do that just because you love me" It was almost as if Jade was trying to deny the fact that I love her.
"I love you Jade, and I want you to be okay and I'm going to do whatever it takes to protect you from now on. I'm not going to let people hurt you anymore" Jade lay her head on my shoulder as I spoke "Just one thing though, I think it might be best if you started to see someone a therapist maybe?"
"W-what, why I'm going to be fine?"
"Jade please can you just think about it? It might be a good thing for you" I begged her.
She nodded and whispered a quiet yes, but before I could say anything else my dad pulled up. We both made our way to the car and got in.
No one spoke as my Jade drove us home, I could feel my eyes getting heavier and heavier with sleep. The last thing I remember before drifting off into a deep sleep was Jade pulling me in closer to her. This week had tired me out and I didn't even realise it to now.
