2 Days later;
"Hey!" Clive smiled as he entered Miranda's room.
"How is he?!" Miranda begged.
Stevie sat on the side of her bed, "still unconscious" she smiled sympathetically rubbing her hand over her cheek.
Miranda nodded as she started to cry.
"Come here"Clive walked the small space to her bed and knelt down. "We've got to be strong... all of us. Gary's in there. He needs us to be strong, all three of us." He kissed Miranda's head and wipped her tears.
Clive sat in the chair besides the bed and picked up her notes, reading through them"
How are you?! Feeling any better?!" Stevie asked.
"Not really, I just want to go see him!" Miranda burst out crying again.
"Be back in a minute" Clive stood up, throwing the notes back on the side and walking out the room.
He walked down the corridor to Gary's room. He looked through the window. Tubes were all over him, wires stuck to him. His head and neck were in a brace, an oxygen mask covering his face. His leg was all bandaged up.
"Doctor"
The man looked up as he left Gary's room. "Clive isn't it?"
"Yeah. How is he?!"
"Same really... his breathings a little more stable, we'll keep him on the machine though."
"Is he going to make it?!" Clive begged.
"Everything is an improvement, we need to keep positive"
"I've got a favour to ask..."
"Yeah?!"
"You've got to let Miranda see him. It'll do her good. She's gonna make her self ill and if anything happens to him. She'll never forgive herself..."
"We've got to think about her health too, she's not up to it..."
"She needs him,and he needs her..." Clive pleaded.
"I suppose we could take her in on a wheelchair. But it can't be too long, she needs rest too."
"Thank you!"
Back in the room;
"Oh, hi, Penny... Charles" Clive smiled as he entered.
"Morning kid"Charles smiled.
"Stevie... can I have a word?!" Clive signalled for her to step outside.
Outside;
"I was talking to the doctor"
"Oh?" Stevie replied confused.
"I've had a word,Miranda can go see him"
"Really?!"
Clive nodded. "We've got to wait till this afternoon but soon as the nurse says... she can go"
"you're brilliant!" Stevie laughed kissing him.
"I'm gonna go sit with him for a bit. Hate to know he's alone in there.." Clive smiled.
"I'll call through soon"Stevie smiled kissing him before going back into the room.
In Gary's room;
Clive sat on the chair, looking at Gary terrified.
He took his hand. "Hey I don't know if you can hear me... but..." Clive paused sighing. "You've got to pull through" Clive started crying. "We all need you, please"
Clive rested his head against Garys hand. He took a deep breathe, calming himself down.
"She misses you you know... Miranda. Shes crying for you, all the times we've talked about her... all the times you said you want to be with her. She feels the same. She was telling stevie last night before we went home. Thats another thing. I got my girl. Its time you got yours. You saved her life... penny wants to congratulate you for saving her. We just need you to wake up"
Clive let go of his hand and sat back in his chair.
"Please Gary... just wake up... please"Clive started to cry again.
There was a knock at the door.
Clive looked up, furiously wipping his eyes.
He smiled and pulled Stevie into his lap.
"Come here"Stevie sobbed pulling Clive close.
What's up?!" Clive asked.
"Seeing him like this...Miranda needs him, we all do" she cried into clives shoulder. He cried back.
Where's Miranda?!"
She's having a nap... keeps feeling sick. She cried herself to sleep again.."
Clive nodded. "It's just a waiting game..." he said softly kissing her head.
