A/N: When I'm on a roll I never really notice how many chapters I've written until I saw this one! CHAPTER 50 PEOPLE! Sorry updates suck, I'm away for the week and I keep getting really bad headaches which make it impossible for me to look at the screen. So, Bear with me... I've actually had an idea for a threequel (Not sure if that's what its called but that's what google said so...) I might have to think that through and maybe write it when this is done. Here we go...! :) xxx
(Poppy's POV)
I was laid on top of my duvet now, heat radiating from my body. Lara stuck a thermometer under my tongue and waited. They were going to find out everything... Why I was blanking Finn?... The abortion... I felt guilty but I couldn't raise a kid! I mean I looked after Em and look where she ended up. I felt zoned out... Like I was underwater it was really strange. Lara took the thermometer and turned to Rachel.
"It's definitely looking like some sort of viral or bacterial infection, I'm going to ring an ambulance" Lara told her
"No..." I said exhausted
Lara came over and sat on the edge of the bed, she looked me with soft eyes.
"Poppy your body temperature is 104 degrees fahrenheit at the moment that's about 40 degrees C when converted. 39.4 degrees C is considered dangerous and you're past that already" Lara said
"That's not much higher, I'm sure it'll come down in a bit. I just need a fan... Or something"
"Listen to me Poppy... I'm pretty sure you have some sort of infection okay? In this state you're going to get dehydrated very quickly and your also at a risk of fitting. If you go to hospital then you can be monitored better and we can find out what this is and treat it..."
They didn't give me much choice and Lara called the ambulance. I didn't want to go... I didn't want Rachel to find out about all of this. Rachel called Adam telling him to come home and then Lara came back over to me.
"We need to get downstairs can you walk?" Lara asked
I nodded. She sat me up, I was still dressed in my skinny jeans and tshirt that I'd worn to go to Lara's office. I slowly got to my feet, Lara's arm around my waist holding me up. I stumbled at the top of the stairs, it was so warm and even walking a short distance exhausted me and made the dizziness worse.
"Alright alright, slowly..." Lara said
We made it downstairs and sat me on the sofa. Rachel sat beside me... Her eyes full of concern. Suddenly I lost all control of my body and then things just went black.
I opened my eyes to see two sets of green legs. I was laid on my side, there was a mask on my face and a needle taped to the back of my hand.
"What happened?" I asked moving the mask out of the way
"You had a fit..." Lara said
I could see Adam behind the paramedics and Lara by my head but I couldn't see Rachel... Where was she?
"Rachel..." I said out loud
"Its okay. I'm right here" Her voice came from behind me and she started to rub my back softly
When I got to the hospital I was still pretty zoned out, I felt like I was melting... I'd been feeling, I don't know... Not right for a couple of days but I put it down to symptoms of my previous situation, I didn't really get ill... Injured yes but not ill as in flu or something. Rachel had come in the ambulance whilst Adam had come with Lara. The three of them were yet to leave my side...
Two doctors joined me, Sam I recognised and another one. A woman. There was a nurse as well, Linda... I knew her aswell. Sam went over to my three concerned "parents" and asked them to wait in the relatives room while she did tests. What tests? I laid flat on my back staring up at the bright lights above me. I felt kind of stoned, not that I knew what that really felt like but still...
I had loads of weird tests done, blood tests, ECGs, Urine, F, B, C's, U's, E's, LFT's... Whatever all that rubbish was... The other doctor, Dr Hanna she was called came over with Sam. It was just the three of us, she seemed to be like the boss or something.
"Poppy your blood results have come back and we've found traces of a drug called mifepristone in your blood stream. Do you know what that is?" Sam asked
I shook my head, playing dumb.
"Its a drug used in terminations. Have you taken it?" Sam asked
I shook my head, again lying...
A/N: Okay so Poppy's been found out. Let me know what you thought please... Also I'd like your thoughts on a threequel, I have an idea for that but if you guys don't want one I won't write it simples! :) xxxx
