KNEW YOU WERE WAITING FOR ME- PART TWO.
Jen is sitting in her car in the hospital car park. She nervously taps the steering wheel. She takes her mobile out of her bag "Oh marvellous" she tuts as she realises its ran out of battery and puts it back into her bag. She takes a deep breath and makes her way into the hospital.
As Jen makes her way down the corridor she plays with her bangles. She is on auto pilot, not even looking at the signs. She's done this walk everyday for the past few weeks. She feels differently today though. Something isn't right. As she gets to the room she's become so familiar with she peers through the glass of the door.
There's an empty bed. Jen gasps and rushes through the door. The room is empty. "No... No!" Jen opens the door and shouts down the empty corridor. "Can someone tell me where..."
"Jen?"
Jen spins around and Tilly is coming out of the bathroom attached to her room.
Tears of relief burst from Jens eyes and she runs over to Tilly and flings her arms around her.
"Tilly! Oh my god I thought..."
Jen suddenly realises she has Tilly's face in her hands and drops them down to her sides composing herself.
"Sorry. It's just when you weren't here I thought the worst"
"My Dad didn't call you?"
"Oh my stupid phones ran out"
"He said you'd been here quite a bit?"
"I was worried about you... All of you"
Tilly looks disappointed. "Oh so just doing the teacher duty yeah?"
They make eye contact for maybe a bit too long. Jens eyes move all over Tilly's face and stop on her lips. Tilly takes a sharp intake of breath as Jen whispers with her eyes still on her lips "of course not...I was petrified I'd never get to tell you something.."
Tilly moves closer. Their lips inches apart. "So tell me.."
"Ah you're here! I was trying to call you Miss"
Jen and Tilly jump back from each other. Jen smiles innocently at Tilly's Dad.
"Oh please... It's Jen"
