Thank you for all the reviews, they mean a lot.
Ellie- thank you for review it made me smile :) , I also have another frindsey chapter which should be chapter 11.
Guest- thank you for your review, I'm glad you enjoying the story.
Prompted by guest- there is a car crash Freddie is really hurt and Lindsey realises her true feelings.
Chapter 7- with true love comes heartbreak:
It was a normal day for Freddie in the roscoes garage, well as normal as it could be considering he fancied his brother's wife. Yes, Freddie knew it was wrong and he knew that if he and Lindsey ever did get together it would break Joe's heart, but you can't hide true love.
To be fair Freddie had always liked her from the very first time she came to dinner when he was 13 years old. However at the time Freddie and the rest of the family were just glad that Joe had found someone who brought him away from the violence and the alcohol. Freddie didn't know whether it was her long brown hair, or whether it was every time she walked into to the room, Freddie's heart skipped a beat. It was almost like his feelings were uncontrollable.
At hospital, Lindsey found she that was the having the same feelings. She knew loved Freddie but she didn't know how to tell him. It was like there was a barrier stopping them; then Lindsey realised, that barrier was Joe.
That's why her and Freddie couldn't get together, it would break Joe's heart. It would break him and despite all that, Lindsey wouldn't be able to live with herself knowing that she'd made the first proper love of her life miserable.
"Fred, will you be able to take the Audi that Ziggy was supposed to take on a test drive", Joe asked from the desk in the garage. "What", Freddie replied turning round, " why can't Ziggy do it" Joe looked up at Freddie, "because in case you haven't noticed, Ziggy ain't here." Freddie sighed, he wasn't going to win this one. "Fine, I'll take it but I'm not going far", he said, turning around to finish the car he was working on.
"You alright?", Celine asked she walked up to a dazed looking Lindsey at the nurse's station. Lindsey turned around, "oh yeah I'm fine", she smiled. Celine looked at her. "Alright, it's just you looked like you were a mile away." Lindsey just smiled and walked away off to her next patient.
Freddie grappled the keys for the Audi off the desk and unlocked the car. He sat inside and realised how comfy the seat was, relaxing back into it. Freddie put the key in, turned it; the engine roared then started up properly. Freddie smiled to himself, he'd done a pretty good job of fixing it and now all he had to do was take it out for a drive and then return the car.
Freddie was only just of out the village driving along the road at a normal speed. He was happy, he had a good car and just in general a good feeling, however that was all about the change.
The car just came out of nowhere, speeding round the corner crashing straight into Freddie's car making him do a full 360 spin on the ground before landing on the side of the road. People watched on and stared in horror at what they'd just seen.
Freddie lay unconscious in the car, he had a deep cut on his head and probably some broken bones. He couldn't open his eyes but he could vaguely here the sound of sirens in the distance. He tried to eyes but he couldn't, so he just lay there waiting.
"Right okay, thank you", Dr savage said putting down the phone and walking over to the nurses station where Lindsey and Celine stood. "Girls, we have a male RTC coming in please can you repair bed 3 and then meet me at the entrance", he told them and watched they hurried off the get ready.
Five minutes later Lindsey, Celine and Dr savage were waiting by the entrance when the air of the on coming patient made her feel sick. It was Freddie, as the trolley for closer she shake and the trolley made it to them all she could was state at Freddie while the paramedics read out his stats.
"Oh my god", Lindsey said putting her hand to her mouth looking down at Freddie. He had a possible fractured skull, a deep cut on his head, a definite broken leg and possibly some broken ribs. As Freddie was taken into a cubicle Lindsey couldn't watch and ran to the toilets.
Bursting into the toilets Lindsey ran into a cubicle and slammed the door. She cried and cried. She was upset for Freddie but also terrified at the prospect of telling Joe about her true feelings. He would flip and go after Freddie, it would be end of their lives, all three of their lives.
Knowing what she had to do Lindsey dusted herself down and pulled herself together. In the morning when Freddie was awake, she was going to go and see him to tell him how she really felt. With that Lindsey walked out the toilets ready to go and treat Freddie.
Freddie had a fractured skull, 3 broken ribs and a broken legs, not to mention all of the cuts and bruises he had. He was going to be in hospital for the next few days, so Lindsey grabbed her chance.
"Hey", she said opening the he door and walking over to Freddie. "Hey", he replied weakly, smiling over at Lindsey. Lindsey sat down and looked at Freddie. "What?", he asked jokingly, trying to look at her but then groaning from the pain in his ribs. Lindsey sighed and began.
"I've thought Freddie and I've thought hard about this. I love you Freddie." She said with tears in her eyes. Freddie looked at her, with a mix of shock and relief on his face. "I love you too", he whispered, Lindsey leant over and kissed Freddie.
As the two pulled apart, they smiled to each other and both promised that they were going to be together and that they were going to break the news to Joe, together.
