Chapter eight

The two of them made their way down to room 2037 of ICU and took in the sight that lay before them.

Selena Manning lay in a bed that was surrounded in crisp white sheets not able to quite differentiate the difference between the two, as she was an exact replica of the sheets she lay upon.

She lay there surrounded and attach to various tubes, wires and medical equipment , which some of them included IV's, oxygen mask and heart monitor and so forth and also a ventilation tube down her throat to help her breathe.

As luck would have it the rules required that there was only two allowed in at one time.

They walked in, Maggie taking the seat on the left, leaving Will to take the one on the right side of the bed.

"Do you think she's in any pain?" He asked his wife's best friend.

"They would have given her pain relief and a mild sedative, so she won't be feeling anything at the minute". Maggie explained to him.

"When I met her, she was so guarded, why do you think that was?" Will asked her.

"That's understandable". Maggie replied, before realizing what she had said.

"What do you mean?" Will asked, leaning forward in his chair as much as he would if he was conducting an interrogation.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't of said anything. It's not my place to say anything". Maggie apologized.

"Well Selena is laying here un conscious so it's not like she can tell me anything". Will returned sarcastically.

"Do you remember the last time Selena was here?" Maggie asked him.

"Yeah, but she was sketchy about it". Will replied.

"Selena and harry had an affair, unbeknown to Selena he was married. It wasn't until Beth was in a car accident that selena found out, he made him chose. He chose his wife and Selena was left heartbroken". Maggie told him.

"So that's why he wouldn't call her by her name downstairs". Will concluded.

"Only when he doesn't have a chose or its absolutely necessary". Maggie replied.

"and she thought I'd treat her the same way, nobody deserves to be treated like that". Will again concluded.

"how long you guys been married?". Maggie asked as she shifted in her seat to try and get more comfortable.

"two and a half months". Will replied as he continued to stoke the back of his wife's hand.

"you would of have guessed". Maggie chuckled as she glanced down at her watch.

"you need to be somewhere?". Will asked as he caught her looking at her watch.

"I have to go and finish my shift; I'll come and see her tomorrow". Maggie told him as she rose from her seat.

"Thanks for coming to see her". Will thanked her as she left the room.

Twenty minutes later doctor Wilson came in to check on Selena and to see how she was doing.

"Any change?" Will asked him, as doctor Wilson checked the monitor that was sitting the right side of Selena's head and then jotted than down in the folder in his hand.

"No, sorry it will be a few hours yet if not tomorrow morning, I'll be back in an hour". Doctor Wilson replied as he put the folder back in its slot at the end of the bed.

No sooner had doctor Wilson left the room and will took up his seat again did Selena began to fit.

There you have it chapter eight. I had this all written out but stupidly throw my notepad out and lost everything, so some ideas would be great. Also I'm not sure when the next update will be as I have no internet connection. But feedback would be fantastic
