This is just a filler chapter. I will be posting tomorrow down't worry.
Christian's POV:
Where am I? What happened? I feel like I was run over by a train. I slowly open my eyes and see that I'm in the hospital. I hear random mumbling from beside me and I turn to see Anastasia fast asleep in a chair with her head resting on my bed. I'm no the hospital. I run my fingers across her hand and she jumps.
"Christian you're awake!" She yells and it's like a bullet in my brain. My head is killing me. "One second Christian I'll be right back."
"No please stay." I hardly recognize my voice. "I'm scared." I murmurer and she comes right back to me.
"Christian you were in a car accident. I just want to leave for a second to get the doctor." I give her a wry smile and she kisses my cheek. She's not gone for more than a minute and a good looking young doctor follows her. I want to tell him I want another doctor, but I don't have the energy.
"Welcome back Mr Grey." He says and check all the monitors around me. "How are you feeling?"
I look at Anastasia who is stoking my hand. "I'm in pain." I mutter.
"Alright we will give you a dose of pain medication."
"No, no pain medication please."
"Mr Grey your body is healing and there is no point in putting extra stress on yourself." I look up at Anastasia and she smiles. For you Ana I will.
"Alright."
"I will be right back with the medication and some water for you." He leaves and I turn to Anastasia who has started crying. I want to wipe away her tears, but I can't build up the strength to move. A single tear falls down my cheek. I hate seeing he like this. The doctor comes back in with a cup of water and injects some medication into my IV.
"This is going to make you tired, but you need as much rest as you can get." I give him a small nod. "Can you remember what happened?"
"Not fully, but I can remember the accident and everything goes black after that." I take a small sip of water and I can feel relief from the medication already.
"You suffered minor injuries except for your ankle, which broke in three places. We had to do surgery and you need a cast put on today."
"How long will it take to heal?"
"you'll need to have the cast on for six to eight weeks." oh my god this can't be happening.
"You need to get some rest, but I will be back to put on your cast." I give him another small nod and turn to Anastasia.
"Taylor." I say "Is Taylor alright."
"He had some internal bleeding, some lacerations and a broken arm. He is going to be transferred out of the ICU tomorrow and will be able to leave at the end of the week."
"Do you have any idea who could have done this?"
"Luke and I have an idea, but we aren't certain."
"Who?"
"Lacy Holden."
Anastasia's POV:
Christian's expression turns to pure angry after I told him who we think did this. His whole body is tense.
"Christian it's going to be alright."
"How is this alright?" He snaps.
"Christian don't. Please just get some sleep and we can talk about this later." He looks at me, but close his eyes. I run my fingers through his hair until I am sure he's asleep then I go out into the waiting room and call everyone to let them know he's alright. My last call is to Luke.
"Ana how is everything?"
"Christian woke up and he's pissed about Lacy."
"I figured as much."
"Yeah, I was wondering if you could bring a change of clothing."
"Sure thing I'll be there in an hour."
"Thanks Luke." I go back into the room and he's sill sound asleep. I pull out my phone and check my e-mails. The accident was all over the news so I have tons of messages. I don't respond to anyone, but Ros. I'm not exactly sure how she got my number, but she did.
Anastasia it's Ros I was worried about Christian when he didn't show up to his meetings, but now I hear he's been in an accident. Please update me when you know anything.
I hit respond and type out another message for her.
Ros thank you for asking. Christian is well. A broken ankle is his biggest problem. I am sure he will message you the second he can.
The doctor comes back sooner then I had anticipated to put on his cast. They transfer his carefully yo a different room where we sit and wait for a nurse. I look through all of the materials that are laid out and wonder how they do this. I guess I'll find out soon enough. A short blonde haired woman comes in and introduces herself as Mary. She pulls up a stool next to Christian's exposed leg that is dangling over the end of the bed Christian is sitting on. She starts by changing the bandages and cleaning Christian's stitches. She changes her gloves before applying a stockinette to his leg. Christian whines as she applies three layers of casting on his leg from his foot to the top of his cast. Next she unwraps a fibre glass casting and soaks it in water before adding as layer of fibre glass padding. She then cuts the bottom of the cast about and inch long and folds the stockinette over and does the same at the top. She applies a last layer of fibre glass casting and checks his circulation before she leaves. Christian has to want and hour before he can put an pressure on it so we have to sit and wait.
"You're family should be here soon."
"They didn't have to come."
"Well when people love you they worry Christian." He rolls his eyes and I laugh. "Why can you roll you eyes?"
"Because I can." I narrow my eyes at him and he starts laughing.
"I'm sorry." He says after he calms down. I know I have to tell him I need to go back to Seattle tonight, but it's going to kill him. It's my last week at SIP and there is so much I have to do.
"Christian there's something I have to tell you and you're not going to be happy about it." He looks at me with concern. "I have to go back to Seattle tonight."
"That's not going to happen Anastasia."
"Oh yes it is. Christian I have a job. It is my last week at SIP and I have a lot I need to finish." Deep down he knows I'm right, but doesn't want to admit it.
"What if something happens to you?"
"I'll be with Sawyer and if you want I can stay with Kate."
"No you can stay at Escala, but I only want to you to go to work no where else."
"Alright." That I can agree to. Once the hour is up we head back to Christian's room where the family is waiting. I use this chance to sneak out and change my clothes. When I get back everyone is smiling and having a good time.
"How's Taylor?" I ask Gail away from everyone.
"He's doing great they moved him out of the ICU and he's asleep down the hall."
"You don't know how much of a relief it is to hear that."
"I think I do. He was a little upset when he woke up and had a pink cast." I just laugh. That's such a Taylor thing to say.
"Our boys are crazy." I say while laughing.
"I heard that." Christian shouts making us laugh even hard. I'm amazed that even in the darkest of times we can find a little light. I walk over to him and give him a kiss. "I'm sorry."
"Not good enough." I give him another kiss and I can feel him smiling. "That's better."
"Get a room bro." Elliot snickers and everyone glares at him. "Sorry." We all joke around until Christian falls asleep around three and I sneak out to go see Taylor.
"Ana." He smiles when I walk in the room.
"Taylor, how do you feel?"
"Like shit, but I'll be fine."
"I'm sorry to hear that. At least you have a pretty cast." He glares at me and I laugh.
"Hey I didn't pick this."
"I think it makes your eyes pop." He glares at me again and I blush. "Sorry."
"It's fine. How's Christian doing?"
"He's alright. Not too happy about me going back to Seattle, but he'll live."
"When do you leave?"
"In about an hour."
"Well it was nice of you to stop by before you left."
"You're a part of my family now Taylor I do worry about you." This time he blushes making me smile.
"Well I better get back to Christian if he wakes up and I'm not there he's going to call the cops." I joke.
"I'll see you when I'm out of here."
"That you will." I walk down the hall back to Christian's room who's on his phone.
"I'm leaving in an hour." I say after I sit down.
"Do you have to go back?"
"Yes I do Christian."
"Well can you at least lie down with my until you leave?" I hesitate for a moment before crawling into his bed. I lie down on his chest and listen to his heartbeat. I could stay here for hours. He strokes my arm and I feel at peace for the first time since yesterday.
Have a wonderful day. Please review.
