Hi!
Thanks for the reviews. It's an upgrade from the one review and favorite I got for my last story. As I said before I appreciate any pointers or ideas you may have. I'm kinda an unexperienced writer :-)The last thing I want to say before you go on to the next chapter, is that this is my imagination I'm putting on this site, and if you don't like the story or chapter you don't have to continue reading it.
Enjoy!
When she woke up again there was a woman bending over her.
"Ms O'Hara, Juliet? Can you hear me?"
Man her head hurt. She closed her eyes and tried to fight a losing battle of keeping her food down.
"I feel nauseous..." Her voice was barely a whisper but in a second the nurse held a bucket under her chin. She was just in time for Juliet to empty her stomach in the bucket.
"It's okay. Juliet, I need you to open your eyes for me. Good, do you remember what happened?"
"I was driving home from work."
The nausea was coming back again and black dots started to dance in front of her eyes. She was scared and it was getting harder for her to stay conscious.
"I need to sleep."
"No Juliet, it's very important that you stay awake until a doctor comes in, okay?"
Juliet nodded, but that was the wrong thing to do. That little movement was enough to trigger the sickness she was feeling. She threw up once again and when she calmed down the nurse said something. Juliet wasn't sure of what the nurse had said but the next thing she knew, her clothes were gently cut off and a hospital gown was put on her. Then she heard a door open and the nurse that had helped her was telling someone about her condition. She tried to understand but it all sounded like gibberish.
"Hi Juliet. I'm doctor Brown. Can you tell me where it hurts?"
Juliet opened her eyes again and saw a kind looking man standing beside her.
"My head and my leg. And..."
She was losing control over herself again and thoughts started to swirl around in her head. She was getting more and more terrified and her arms started to trembled again.
"What's happening to me?"
She felt tears burning in her eyes and the doctor looked a little worried but when he spoke his voice was calm and collected.
"Juliet, calm down. It's okay. I think you're just having a panic-attack, but let me just check for any broken bones."
He started to gently press his hand on her face and then moving on to her arms and ribs. When he came to her leg, Juliet suddenly felt a stabbing pain. The doctor stopped for a second and turned to the nurse.
"Fracture in her left tibia."
When his examination was done he said:
"Well you only have a fracture in your left tibia which is the biggest bone under your knee. I also suspect that you have a concussion, which would explain why your feeling nauseous. I am going to check once again so I can confirm a concussion and then nurse Amy is going to put a cast on your leg. Calm down, you're going to be just fine. Nurse?"
Juliet wasn't listening. Her head was still full and everything the doctor had said was just blending in with the rest of her thoughts.
"I can handle it. Thanks Doctor."
"I'll be back in a sec."
The doctor left the room and nurse Amy turned to Juliet.
"Juliet, where you listening?"
"I can't. Too much going on.."
"Like what."
Juliet shook her head and said: "My job, Shawn, the accident..."
"well, you don't have to worry about your job. We already contacted your workplace and they have sent us your journal. It seems like your partner will come and visit. Is there anybody you want us to contact for you?"
Juliet's head was still throbbing and her limbs where still trembling like crazy.
"No, nobody. Can't you give me anything for my head?"
"I'm sorry. Not until the doctor diagnoses you. It can interfere with the medication you may be given if you have a concussion. Where does your head hurt?"
"All over. I can't take it any longer."
Juliet was about to start crying. She was all alone in a hospital with a headache that started way before the accident which meant that there was something else going on.
"You just try to hold on. It's going to get better."
Juliet nodded but her nausea was coming back and so were the black dots. Now she began to cry for real. Tears welled up in her eyes and started running down her cheeks.
"It's okay, It's okay." The nurse stroked her arm and tried to calm her down.
"You just tell me if something else happens beside your headache, okay?"
"I'm getting nauseous again and there's black dots in front of me."
The nurse looked a little concerned. She checked her pulse and wrote down something in her journal. Just then Dr Brown returned. The nurse quickly walked over to him and talked in a low voice. Dr Brown nodded and looked serious.
"Okay, thank you. Juliet, we are going to send you to a CT-scan to confirm a concussion."
Juliet nodded without really understanding what the doctor said. She was slipping into unconsciousness and the dark spots was now covering almost all of her vision.
"Juliet, are you with us? Juliet?"
The sounds were getting muffled and it was getting harder to breathe. One moment later her breathing stopped.
I'm not so good at ending chapters put I thought I would give away too much if I continued writing now. Also I've been looking for a nickname that Shawn gives to Gus but I haven't got any good ones so if you come up with something I'll be happy to hear it :) See you next chapter!
Ps. The other ones will come in the next chapter.
