Curtains Close; Take a bow. I think we fooled all of them now.
Chapter 22 - For Every Second Sleep Has Stolen
"How are you feeling?" I asked nervously, holding her hand and squeezing it tightly.
"Fine Oli. Honestly. It doesn't hurt anymore. Only my heart hurts. We could have had a baby girl." She whispered, looking me in the eye and sadly smiling.
"SJ, I know. I would have loved to have a girl and a boy. But that just isn't what our fate decided." I said, stroking my thumb over her soft palm. "At least we are still going to have a little boy, SJ. And he'll be a tough little kid. A survivor." I smiled.
SJ laughed. "As tough as his dad."
And then both our eyes met and I leaned in to kiss her cheek. She plumply smiled before lifting the bed sheets over her body and close her eyes next to me.
"Are you cold SJ?" I asked, feeling her arms. She had goosebumps and felt as cold as a stone. "Come here." I said, taking off my coat and shoes and climbing in the bed beside her to wrap her in my arms. She rested her head in the crook of my shoulder, just like Rain used to.
She had her operation earlier today, which is why I went back to check on Rain as I couldn't bare to sit in that waiting room for a minute longer. A mixture of emotions started to come back as I remembered the two of them there, huddled up on the sofa with so much intimacy. Why the hell didn't I just kill her when she ran behind my car? It was because I stilled loved her, no matter who or what got in our way.
Rain's POV
"What now?" I asked Danny as he started to pack up his stuff.
"Well." He said, opening the door.
"Wait! Where are you going? Are you just going to leave me in this mess!?" I cried, watching him walk straight outside, barely even taking notice of me.
"Come on Rain." He said, whipping out a cigarette and marching towards his car, lifting the keys out of his pocket. "This is a good time for me to leave."
Shocked, I snapped back at him. "Your going to leave me you fucking twat!?"
He shot a cheeky smile at my tearful face. "Twat is my middle name, baby." He swung his body into the car and drove away swiftly. Yet again I was alone. I couldn't believe that Danny would go like that. I thought we had a connection. Clearly not.
I'm sat in the lonely hallway again, considering what's going on. Oli thinks I had sex with Danny which is not true. Danny just left me like an idiot, yet he did it in a sexy way. SJ has just had an operation to remove her dead daughter from her womb. And while all this is happening, I am sat here in an empty hallway like some dreary bloody ghost, somehow helplessly trapped inbetween all of this.
