A/N : Wow, sorry this took so long, for some stupid reason coursework is given all at the same time. But no more school for seven weeks! I've been thinking bout an ending for this fic, so it should be ending soon. I'm sorry for the ending of this chapter.
Thought I'd also mention how upset I was during COE, I cried my friggen eyes out! I wrote to the BBC, and Russel T. Only the BBC have replied. I really don't think there's going to be another series :(
Ianto :( Half the reason I started watching the show.
Tosh sat in the waiting room. She hated hospitals, so dull and, well, clinical. She couldn't quite understand why Owen had said he wanted to be a doctor, so much death and pain in one job. The girl was sat beside her mother, who was at a loss of what to say to her daughter, she didn't know how to best comfort her. The tears were threatening to fall as the girl stared blankly at the wall. She couldn't help the nagging feeling in her stomach. Guilt.
"Miss Sato, you can see him now." Toshiko got up slowly and followed behind the young nurse. She walked into the dimly lit room and tears began to slide down her cheeks at the sight before her. Tommy was lying in an uncomfortable looking hospital bed, unconscious and hooked up to machines and medicines that she didn't have the energy to question. The girl sat on the wooden seat beside the bed.
"I'm so sorry Tommy. I'm so, so sorry." Toshiko let her sadness take over as she let more tears fall freely. She lost all awareness of time as she sat watching the boy listening to the regular beep from one of the machines.
"Hello Toshiko," she hadn't even noticed when the boy's parents had entered the room, she smiled weakly at them. Tommy looked a lot like his father, his mother was a beautiful woman, Toshiko couldn't help but notice. The pair had obviously been crying the boy's mother's eyes were red and bloodshot. The awful feeling in the girl's stomach intensified.
"I'll leave you alone," the girl quickly got up and almost ran from the room. She sat on one of the chairs outside Tommy's room as she let her tears fall freely again. That was until she felt an arm rest softly over her shoulders, she looked up and saw a boy sat next to her.
"Owen?" The girl wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, "What are you doing here? How did you-"
"Your mum called me, told me you and Tommy were here," Tosh nodded slowly, "What happened?"
"It was my fault Owen. We were going back to my place, and, and he ran ahead-" the girl broke down, crying uncontrollably.
"Hey, hey, this isn't your fault Tosh, there's nothing you could have done," there was silence for a few moments until Owen asked the question that had been playing on his mind all day, "You've fallen for him haven't you?" The only reply he received was the girl leaning closer to him; he rubbed soothing circles on her back. He didn't know why Toshiko's mother had called him here, Gwen always seemed better at comforting people than him, but then again the two girls weren't exactly best of friends. Owen's thoughts were interrupted by a loud beeping followed by three nurses running into Tommy's hospital room.
"What's going on? What's happening?!" Tosh shouted as the nurses, and apparently one doctor, exited the room wheeling Tommy's bed beside them. The boy's parents stood at the door of their son's room, their emotions currently unreadable.
"They're taking him to surgery."
