I'm back here again, I thought. Why is this place always dark, is this how dark my mind is?. I sat on what seems to be the ground, folding my legs. "wake up" someone said, the voice sounded like a guy"Dad is that you?" I asked, atleast he could keep me company till I wake up. "pumpkin you need to wake up. The fact that you only come here when your in a bad state saddens me, i don't want to meet you like this" dad said, I couldn't see him but i could tell he was upset. "It's not my fault" I said. "Be strong for me my dear", he said in a very faint voice. It sounded as tho he was fading, I didn't even ask him where mom was. "Dad!?" I called out letting out a great sigh.
I slowly opened my eyes, I didn't open it immediately because of the light that shined in my eyes. I opened my eyes fully to see my surroundings, back to the hospital again, I thought. I turned left to see Dean looking at me, "Finally your awake",he said walking closer. "Mr strong boy, why such a worried look on your face? I just fainted",I asked. "why shouldn't I be worried, you've been out for a whole day" he said. A whole day? But in my conscience it felt like minute, I wish I could have spoken to dad much longer.
"what day is it?", I asked. "Sunday" he said "I have classes tomorrow, how's Kylie tho?" I asked. I felt bad, I couldn't comfort her instead I caused more worries for the others. " your talking about class in a hospital bed, funny you. yh Kylie is fine, Mr M gave her a long leave to take care of her dad" he explained combing his hair back. I couldn't help but stare a bit, Lord his handsome. Snap out of it Audrey, I said shaking my head. "I'm used to it already, this isn't the first time running from the hospital" I said removing the drip that was placed in my arm. "what are you doing?" he asked. "Going home" I replied ripping off other attachments.
My hand was bleeding, but I stood up anyways. Everything started spinning, I couldn't keep my eyes open. I lost my balance, but Dean was there to catch me. "I'm fine", I said using one hand to hold my heas and the other holding him. "Blood dripping everywhere, how reckless can you get?. Fine if you want to leave I won't stop you, at least let the doctor discharge you. No need to run" he said and I chuckled. "Fine" I said. He pulled me up gently, then help me sit on the bed.
•••Dean's POV•••
"Audrey!" I called out as I rushed to hold her. Her body felt light, like she was being drained and she felt cold. "Is she Alright?", Kylie asked between sobs. "Take care of miss saphre, I'll handle things here", Mr M said. I picked her up, I called a cab and hurried to the hospital. "Is there a Doctor? My friend needs assistance", i called out. The hospital looked really busy, I prayed to get atleast a free doctor and my prayer was answered, "What's seems to be the problem", said a man in a lab coat walking to us. I showed him Audrey that laid limp in my arms, he felt her temperature and check her heart beat. "Nurse! Take this patient for medical check up" he said. "Yes sir" the nurses said , they went and came back with a stretcher. I followed them till they reached a room, I had to wait outside. I waited outside, pacing left and right. After a while the doctor stepped out, "I ran some scans" he said. "What's the diagnosis?" I asked, I crossed my fingers hoping it wasn't something serious. "She has weak immune system, she's over stressed and has lack of proper rest" he said.
"What made her lose consciousness, if I may ask?" the doctor asked. "I'm not sure,a colleague of mine at work spoke about her father being in a coma after being in a serious accident, the next thing I know she fainted" I explained. "Where are her parents?" the doctor asked. "They are both late" I said. "How did they die?" the doctor asked. "They were involved in a car accident, she too was in the car but survived" I said. "She is a strong girl to have survived that, that contributed to her loosing consciousness. The patient has PTSD, so any incident or conversations that has to do with accidents, especially car accident please avoid it next to her" the doctor explained,I nodded to his word.
"You are close to the patient right?"he asked, I nodded. " take good care of her,she shouldn't get herself involved in any stressful activities or anything that'd stress her out physically most especially mentally" the doctor said. "Ok" I replied.
