At the hospital...
Tilly approached the woman before her, tubes running into her nose, and the translucent skin was not the woman she knew.
Jen laid there motionless before her looking as if she could barely breathe. Her body was nearly lost in the sheets of the hospital bed and she didn't move. she sucked in air through a tube in her throat and the machines pushed the oxygen into her in a rhythmic tempo that was almost irritating. The machines around her hummed and made faint noises that filled the room with an ambient presence. The one closes to her beeped in rhythm to her heart, causing Tillys want to feel Jens pulse and make sure it was really her. she half expected Jen to jump up and be her old self. Dancing around in a beautiful grace.
She approached the figure in the bed and reached out to her pale hands. The hands which once held her firmly, they now didn't move as she slipped her fingers across their papery surface. Her body was cold, lifeless and there would be no dancing this day.
It had been a week since Jen was admitted into hospital after the accident. After she closed her eyes one more time after lying on the cold floor she didn't open them again. Since that day she had been by Jens side as much as she could however avoiding her family daily around the hospital room and corridoor. Waiting until they went so she could be by her side again. Everyday Tilly would sit by her lovers side and replay her last words to herself over and over again, although this did not help Tillys hope of Jen getting better. By Jen saying those words 'i love you' it felt as if Jen let go then and there, letting herself drift into a deep sleep. One which she would never wake from.
