Another Jessica and Linda chapter. Just a bit shorter than what I usually write.
The Secret Life Of Casualty.
Chapter 334.
Jessica dropped the phone in shock.
"Jess, what's wrong?" Adam asked.
"Linda's in a coma" She whispered.
"Shh, it'll be alright," He said, kissing the top of her head, before picking up his car keys. "Do you want me to take you?"
"Fine"
"Come on"'Adam said, opening the door and holding it open, watching her walk down the steps.
"Where's Linda, Tess?" Adam questioned.
"Intensive Care" Tess said.
Madam knew that you were only admitted to Intensive Care if you were seriously ill, he membered sitting by Jessica's bedside, holding her lifeless hand.
"Thanks" Adam led Jessica to the lifts and the two stepped in to them, Adam holding her hand as the lift took them to the floor they needed.
Jessica walked inside to see a ventilator was down Linda's throat, a pulse oximeter on her finger
"Sit down" Adam said, grabbing a chair for her to sit down on.
"Will she wake up?" Jessica asked.
Adam shrugged, "I don't know, Jess"
A tear slid down Jessica's cheek. Linda had helped her through some tough times: baby Harry's death, helping her settle in to a new routine in America and helping her find Lucas and Amelia schools. Linda, meanwhile had miscarriaged and it was up to Jessica to support her.
A nurse, who Jessica didn't recognise, walked in to the room. She had urben hair and wore blue scrubs. She got her flashlight out of her scrub pocket and shove it in to Linda's eyes. She gave no response that she could.
"Do you want a drink?" Adam asked, knowing it could be long hours just sitting there as he learnt when he sat in the very same room, watching Jessica lay on the bed.
"Fine" Jessica watched as he dug in to his jeans, kissed her on the cheek and left the room, heading to the canteen.
Linda's finger twitched, but Jessica know that it was just a reflex
"Here" Adam placed a cup of tea in front of her. She lifted it up and put it to her lips.
Two weeks later, it was revealed that the doctors wanted to try and wake her up. Jessica decided she wanted to be there, while Adam warned her she may not come round straight away, that when Sarah Evans attempted to wake her up from her own coma, her first attempt had failed and it had devestated Adam, who had wanted his wife.
The doctor ceased the button on the ventilator and put his stethoscope in his ears and put it on her chest, waiting to see if he could hear any breathing.
Linda took a small breath but that's all she could manage as Adam put an oxygen mask over her face
"Jess?" Linda whispered.
"It's ok" Jessica tried to soothe her.
Adam had discussed with Jessica, the possibility of Linda moving in with them temporarily while she recovered.
"Sure" She replied, she hoped that if she ever found herself in a coma again,that Linda would do the same for her
Adam helped Linda up the stairs, while Jessica went to Linda's flat to get some of her things.
"Mum, Why is Linda here?" Amelia asked, after returning home from school, and seeing her mums old friend
"She's been in an accident Amelia" said Adam. Adam later discovered from Zoe that she'd crashed.
Linda had temporarily taken over baby Harry's old room.
Jessica went to bed and looked at the picture of baby Harry she kept on her bedside table. She pressed her finger to the top of the picture and set it back on the table as Adam walked in to the room, joining her on the bed, dressed in just a white tee- shirt. He told her he loved her, Jessica said that she knew he did. Adam kissed her forehead as they both drifted off to sleep.
I promise the George and Richard prompt is coming, for some reason I'm just struggling with it. I write this chapter to see if my writing skills were up to scratch, but I'll try and get it up by Saturday.
