Kelly's p.o.v

My eyes stung as the sunlight hit them.
"Agh" I heard the noise come from my dry mouth. After a few minutes of wincing I was able to open my eyes. Properly open my eyes.
"Water" I croaked. "I need fucking water. Right now!" I could hear someone pouring water into a glass.
"Flash will you sit her up please?" Annabelle. That was Annabelle. And she was talking to...
"Kelly? Kelly can you hear me?" Flashes voice in my ear as his warm gentle hands softly lifted me to sitting.
"KELLLY" a small soft shape flew into me, and i felt tiny sticks wrap around me.
"Come on Ruby, Kelly's a bi' breakable at the sec, back off a minute" flash spoke again. I shook my head violently. Bad idea! My head was now throbbing. My throat meanwhile felt like sandpaper.

At that moment I felt something being put into my hand. Looking down I saw a glass of water. I shook my head again, more gently this time. My limbs were all far too weak to do something like raise a glass. I felt the arm around my back shift as Flash leant forward into my view. He took the glass out of my hand and slowly raised it to my lips.

I could feel myself blushing. I was Kelly Jones, the fearless, unbeatable head girl of St trinians, and yet here I was with Flash Harry of all people tipping water into my mouth.

It genuinely shocked me how careful he was, gentle, even tender. Flash, he isn't exactly the kind of person you think of as gentle.

A hand began to tug at my arm, a very small hand, Ruby. I opened my arms to accept a hug before realising hugs were going to be tricky. I had a drip on the inside of each elbow and several heart rate machines etc attached to my fingers.

"Come on then you" I said. I saw Annabelle and Flash's eyebrows shoot upwards. I didn't think about that. About the different person I am around Ruby. Ruby and...my dad. Panic swept through me. He couldn't be here could he? I won't have to go back home for recovery? The panic clearly showed on my face because Flash was by my side in less than a second.

"Kelly, Kelly are you alright? Does it hurt?" I shook my head "No? Then what's wrong? Is there anything I can do? Anything at all?"

"It's ok Kel. Dad isn't here. Just me." I calmed down instantly. I think Annabelle missed what Ruby said. But flash certainly didn't. He stood up without taking his eyes off mine.

"Belle" he spoke vaguely over his shoulder his eyes still locked on me. "Why don't you take Ruby to get some chocolate?"

"I don't have any money"

"Here. Take mine!" he said handing her his wallet.

"urm. Ok?" Belle took the wallet out of his hand. "Ruby, come on, let's go get some chocolate."

Flash waited until they had left. He stood, listening to the noise of them disappearing down the corridor.

"Kelly. What is going on with your dad?" his voice was strained into false calmness.

"What do you mean?" I tried to play the ignorance card.

"I mean, what is wrong with a man that doesn't care his eldest daughter is in hospital. What is wrong with a man who lets some stranger walk off with his youngest? That Kelly is fucked up. I'm sorry, but it is. I told him you were in a coma-"

"And he didn't even care?" I cut in, knowing the end of the sentence.

"No, he didn't. As for your mum I didn't even manage to meet her."

"Well you wouldn't. She's dead." I spoke calmly, coldly. I saw his face transform.

"Kel...I...I'm SO sorry."

"It's fine. All I have is my dad. That's what I go home to" I felt myself shiver at the thought of going back there in the holidays.

The door flung open before flash had a chance to question me, and I looked up expecting Belle and Ruby only to find my father, standing there, overbearing and violent like some demon.

"hello precious" he wheezed menacingly.

DUN DUN DUN Review pleeeaase!
