Hey guys. Here is my next chapter. Sorry I haven't updated in a while but I've been really busy. Both my mom and sister had surgery so I had to help them with that. I still would like help with some later chapters. I have some ideas but if anyone is up to it I would actually like help writing it. So if you have any ideas for a chapter just write it out and I will read it and I might even use it as a chapter. I really need some help. Please R&R. ENJOY!
Chapter 4
Marti was up late writing a paper for her law class. It was due the next morning but she had so much cheer practice the past week that she hadn't been able to even start it. Julian had offered to help her write it at home but she wanted to stay at cheertown cause she hadn't really stayed there since she had moved into Julians place 2 months ago. She was almost finished writing her last page when he cell phone started ringing. She picked it up quickly so that it would not wake up Savannah who was asleep in her bed next to her. She looked at the caller ID but did not recognize the number.
"Hello" she answered.
"Hello, this is Memphis General Hospital. Is a 'Marti Perkins' there"
Marti was a little confused as to why the Hospital would call at 2 in the morning but she wanted to know what was so important. "Yes this is she."
"We have you as an emergency contact for a 'Julian Parish' is that correct?"
Marti felt like she couldn't breath suddenly her whole world was crashing down around her. "Yes that's correct. I'm his fiancé. May ask why he's in the hospital?"
The receptionist took a short pause before replying. "Okay well he was in a car accident and he was hurt pretty bad. Are you able to come to the hospital?"
Marti felt like she was going to be sick but she needed to get to the hospital. "Yes I'll be right there."
Marti ran over to Savannah's bed and started snacking her to wake her Up. "Savannah I need you to get up and give me a ride to the hospital.
Savannah was sitting up now still only half wake as she looked at Marti. Now? What happen..."
Before she could finish her sentence Marti was already talking. "Yes now! Julian was in a car accident, he's at the hospital. They said he's hurt pretty badly." Marti was crying now and before she could say another word Savannah was up and throwing on her jacket. "Okay, let's go."
The two of them ran out the front door as fast as the could trying not to wake anyone up. They jumped into the car and sped towards the hospital.
Ten minutes later Marti and Savannah were walking into the hospital. Marti ran right to the front desk. Where she saw a women typing on her computer. "My name is Marti Perkins, I got a call saying that my fiancé was in a car accent."
The woman didn't look up from her computer as she talked "Yes that's correct if you go and sit in he waiting room the doctor will be with you shortly.
Marti was furious now, this women didn't seem to care that she had just gotten news that could tear her life apart. She needed to know if Julian was okay. She slammed her fists onto the desk getting the woman's attention along with that of a few other people including Savannah who was standing behind her. "NO! I need you to tell me now! I need to make sure my fiancé is okay." Marti started crying again. "He is my life, I have to see him. So you find that doctor and get him to tell me what the hell is going on."
The nurse looked up at her slightly terrified. "I will get him right now." She picked up a phone that was beside her and dialled some numbers. "Dr. Cook I have a Marti Perkins here to talk to you. Are you available to come down" There was a short pause and then she hung up the phone. She looked up at Marti. "Mrs. Perkins he'll be right down."
Marti waited for the next 5 minutes, pacing back and fourth. Savannah was sitting in a chair waiting with Marti. After what felt like an eternity the doctor finally arrived. As soon as Marti saw him she walked over to him. Savannah stood up and stood behind her for support. "Mrs. Perkins. My name is Dr. Cook." Marti shook his hand and nodded. "Nice to meet you Dr. Cook. Please call me Marti. How's Julian?" The doctor looked down at the clip board in his hand. "Your fiancé was in a very bad accident. He has a broken leg, 2 broken ribs and a concussion. But considering what his car looked like I would say he's very lucky."
Marti was crying. Savannah put a hand on her shoulder for support. She couldn't seem to find the words to talk but Savannah knew what she was going to ask. "Can she see him now?" Marti silently thanked Savannah for being there. The doctor nodded his head. "He's uncunsious now but he should be up in the next few hours. When he does wake up I want you to just tell either myself or someone on the nursing staff so that we can make sure there are no other problems. He's down the hall room 258."
Marti and Savannah walked down the hall. They finally got to Julian's room. Marti stopped in the door way not knowing if she should go in or not. Savannah gave her a small push forward and got her attention. "Marti you should be there for him when he wakes up. I'll stay out in the waiting room." Savannah turned and walked off while Marti opened the door and looked at Julian who was lying on the bed. His face was covered in bruises and scrapes. He had a cast on his leg and around his chest to help with the broken ribs. Marti was just standing in the door way unable to move, she'd never seen him look so weak. He was always to strong and now he was just lying there. She walked over to his bed side and sat on the chair. She held onto his hand and lay her head on the side of the bed beside him. After half an hour of crying she fell asleep. She just hoped everything would be okay.
