Thank you so much for reading this, I'm a massive Cougar Town and your opinions and comments meant a lot to me.
Chapter Four:
3hours had past and Grayson didn't leave Jules sofa. He sat there in silence letting the air in the room suck into his body, feeling it go in and out of his lungs. His heart beating faster as every time he heard a car go past. His mind only wanting to turn this experience into a song so he could understand how to deal with this emotionally.
The phone rang, he left it ring til the beep. He didn't feel like moving, he felt dead. He listened carefully for the message:
"Grayson Ellis, This is Sun Hospital, we have Jules Cobbs here, she's been in-" He rushed to phone picking it up, shouting desperately to the women replying back to him.
"Is she okay? Just please is she okay?" He asked, he was praying she was safe. He'd never argued with her recently, they'd been getting on so great, talking about the future and how they'd spend every day just watching black and white films and eating noodles in bed.
The receptionist tried to calm Grayson down slowing her words down as she replied back, she seemed so calm. She must have been good at giving this type of news "Yes Mr. Ellis, she is just unconscious at the moment, but Doctors are certain she will be awake in the next 24hours" The lady told him. She knew by the sound in his voice he was finally breathing in the right way, deep breathes and releasing through his nose.
"I'm now on my way" She said. He ran upstairs, grabbing one of Jules gym bags, putting the bag essentials inside, he knew what she'd want. As he checked he looked alright, he ran to Ellie, telling her what happened she insisted he was lying but realised by his eye's he wasn't lying. "Ellie are you coming or not?" He shouted. All he wanted to do was to see Jules. "I'm coming hold your horses. Andy take care of Stan" She told him, giving him the small toddler.
When they arrived at the hospital they rushed to reception, asking for her ward number. "Jules Cobbs" Ellie asked. "She's on 14" The man in charge replied.
"Well come on Ellie" Grayson said, he practically ran the entire way there. Holding the bag on the back of his shoulder, shouting down to Ellie who refused to like an "idiot" running through an hospital.
They arrived at the ward. Grayson looked intensely around the rooms, trying to find Jules. One doctor walked up to them. "Would you like to tell me who your searching for?" He asked, he was used to seeing people looking confused trying to search for loved ones.
"Cobbs, Jules Cobbs" Ellie asked.
"Yes, she just in front, let me take you in discuss our decision possibly to help her get better" He lead them forward. Grayson paused. Just staring at the door. He knew she was in there but was scared how she'd look. He'd never not love her if she looked appearance different, but knew if she was hurt he'd only blame himself.
Grayson walked in, seeing Ellie sat down next to Jules, he looked down seeing her hands linked with Jules. He knew she loved Jules, she was like her sister, the one she could always depend on to make her day better and fresh. She relied on Jules.
He put his hand on her shoulder, bending down besides Ellie. "She'll be okay you know" He said, he watched as Ellie cried, the tears rolling out in the same sequence as they did earlier when Jules cried. They were like sisters, proper sisters. He placed his arms around Ellie letting her hold onto him. He always wanted to be close to Jules friends and maybe this was perfect situation to show he wasn't such an heartless animal.
"So do you know what happened to her?" Grayson asked. He looked at his girlfriend as she lay on the bed, her entire body so numb, weak, helpless. He noticed the cuts of her face, little slits. The make-up still as perfect as when she left earlier. Her body surrounded by machinery, a mask covering her gorgeous her lips helping her to breathe,
"From what we heard from the Police on sight. She was stationary at the lights in town, when a car went through an red lighting coming into the drivers side at 60mph" He told them, both Ellie & Grayson's faces dropped. They knew of these accidents happening but never to someone like Jules she always escaped everything.
