Chapter Three

Joe really couldn't stand it any longer. Ziggy hadn't woken up in 3 days now, Sandy had been a nervous wreck and Freddie wouldn't leave Ziggy's side. Jason had to be pryed from Ziggy's bed rails and dragged to college kicking and screaming.

Lindsey had been delayed too, it would be another two weeks before she could come upto Hollyoaks village. "Freddie, go get us a coffee will ya?" Joe said, Freddie needed to get up and move.

Freddie didn't budge he just sat and carried on looking at the monitor. "Fred?" Joe shook him, it worked as Freddie turned to Joe and blinked. "Sorry...what?" Freddie looked like he had been kept awake a week, he had dark circles under his eyes and sank into his chair.

"Get a coffee...and sandwiches...no, you just go home, you and mum" Joe decided. Sandy's head snapped up, "What? No, I'm staying" she snapped at him. "I'll call if he wakes up...not being funny but you two will start to stink if you don't wash" Joe put his foot down.

Sandy considered the options before giving up and agreeing to go home. She kissed Ziggy's forhead and brushed back his hair before leaving with a reluctant Freddie. Joe watched Freddie give a last glance at Ziggy before following his mum out of the room.

Ohhhh that felt good. Freddie let the warm water trickle all over him as he massaged the soap into his hair, Sandy had just showered and was heating soup, even her disgusting monstrosities of food seemed inviting to Freddie now, after living off coffee and sandwiches for 3 days.

"Freddie darling, hurry up!" Sandy shouted, Freddie reluctantly turned off the shower and got out. Ziggy's aftershave was still on the towles. Freddid swallowed, it brought back memories of him lying over his little brother, his crimson blood staining his hands...

Freddie shut those thoughts away and put his fresh clothes on, thudding down the stairs he sat at the table.

Sandy didn't like the tension between her and her 2nd eldest son, Freddie just concentrated on the ox tail soup in the bowl in front of him.

"Fred...Ziggy'll pull through, he's tough-" "No. Ziggy could defend himself but he wasn't tough like Joe...or me" Freddie cut in. Sandy smiled at Freddie.

"He used to follow you around all the time, you used to tell him to go away but he'd climb on your head and rip out your hair" Freddie smiled at the memory Sandy was telling.

"Then he'd nick your football boots and you'd go mad, and the one time when he was 15 you caught him chatting up your girlfriend" Sandy snorted.

"Yeah, the little sh** was putting all his moves on her" Freddie shook his head before putting the final spoonful of soup in his mouth. The phone rang.

Sandy dived for it. "Huh?...Joe...calm down...What! Yeah, we'll be right there" Sandy put the phone down and grabbed her bag, "Mum? Mum! What the hell is going on?" Freddie grabbed his mums arm.

"It's Ziggy...he's waking up". Freddie sighed with relief and ran out with his mum.

Ziggy groaned again, instantly regretting it after it hurt his throat. Having a tube down your throat for 3 days hurt you know? Joe walked in the room, his eyes were all lit up.

"You look terrible" he shook his head. Ziggy narrowed his eyes, "Nahh? I've just been stabbed" Ziggy retorted. No. Ziggy didn't want those memories flooding back...

Flashback

Ziggy watched Freddie and Joe leave, Freedom. Ziggy walked into the kitchen and put the kettle on. Freddie, the idiot, had left his newspaper on the side. "Boring" Ziggy mumbled as he flicked through the pages of crap.

He heard footsteps approaching the kitchen. "Fred! You forgot your paper you tw*t" Ziggy turned grinning but saw the familiar face of Dan standing there. Ziggy had seen Dan a few times and When he asked Freddie about it he told him to shut up and forget it.

"Ziggy! Nice to see you again" Dan slowly walked forward. 'Psycho' Ziggy thought, they didn't even know eachother well. "What do you want? Freds gone out" Ziggy narrowed his eyes.

"Your big brothers useless, he needs to be taught a lesson...one that he'll never forget" Dan sucked his teeth thoughtfully. 'Yep, definitely a psycho" Ziggy decided. Suddenly Dan lunged forward-

End of Flashback

"Zig, mums coming" Joe sat as he sat in the chair. Ziggy thought about sniffing but the stupid tube wasn't helping.

"Who stabbed you?" Joe asked suddenly. "No one" "Ha, good one now tell me" "No" "yes" "no" "yes" "no" "yes" "no" "yes" "no" "Ziggy!" Sandy burst through the door.

Sandy stopped. Ziggy was still pale and a tube still ran up his nose, he looked tired and worn out. "Hi mum" Ziggy said, Sandy kissed his cheek. "Ew, mum!" Ziggy sounded like an embarrassed teenager.

Joe and Freddie snorted. "Zig, you look terrible" "I know" growled Ziggy through clenched teeth. "No, I mean really bad-" "I get it".

"Aw Freddie, you shouldn't tease...Ziggy, he didn't leave your bedside, not for a second" Sandy shared a look with Joe. "Really?" "Don't act so surprised Bro" Freddie wouldn't meet his eyes. Ziggy rolled his eyes, Freddie wasn't the touchy type.

"When am I getting outta here?" "Hold ya horses Zig, you've just come out of a damn coma" Freddie gestured to the tube going up his brothers nose.

"Ok...do me a favour?" Ziggy looked sincerely at Joe. "Pick up my hair gel from my room" They all chuckled.

"Ow" The nurse smirked at her good looking patient, she had had some hotties in her time but this lad was top of the list. "Hold still David" she smiled. "It's Ziggy...OW!" The nurse pulled out the last stitch and looked at the healing wound. Ziggy had been out of hospital for a few weeks now and the wound would leave a faint scar.

"Okay, you might get a faint scar and just take it very easy for the next few weeks okay?" "Yeah...so, didn't catch your name" Ziggy winked. "My names Annie...and I'm engaged" Annie grinned as Ziggy sighed.

"He's a lucky man" "No, I'm a lesbian" "What!" "Kidding" Annie laughed and walked out, if she wasn't engaged she'd be all over him.

Sandy walked into to see Ziggy lifting his shirt and looking at a pale pinkish 4 inch line that rested on her middle sons side.

"Don't touch it" Sandy slapped his hand. "Mum!". Sometimes she really did forget they were grown up.

"Yes well, come on, I'm making my special beef bourguignon" Sandy grinned and ignored Joes horrified face beside her. Ziggy felt his phone vibrate, "Lets see your sexy scar, my place in ten" The text was from Theresa. Grinning Ziggy text back, "Ugh, got another girl Zig?" "This ones the one" "You say that every week" "You say that every week" Ziggy mimicked.

"Oi you two pack it up, get lazy arse up now Ziggy Roscoe".

Both boys valued there lives so shut up and walked from the room.
