The Next Morning
“Avril” Judy knocked on the door. “Avril!” she knocked again.
What the fuck it’s like 6:30am what could possibly be so important?
“What?”
“Someone is on the phone for you.” Judy brought the phone over “They sound worried.”
“Hello…” Avril spoke into the phone, almost worried to hear what was on the phone. “WHAT!” Avril yelled, tears in her eyes.
“What! What is it?” Judy sat down on the bed. Avril hung up the phone and jumped up.
“It’s Jaimeson….He…. he…he” she breathed heavy.
“Relax Hun. Now what is it?” Judy asked again, once Avril was calm.
“He’s in the hospital. Stacy told me he was in a terrible accident. It might be fatal Mom.” Avril cried harder.
“Oh my gosh baby!” Judy stated in concern, hugging her. “You want me to come with you?”
“Mom I’m so scared the last time I talked to him we were fighting.” Avril cried. “What if I don’t make it in time?”
“Well if we get moving we will make it.” Judy stated, jumping up.
“You tell Dad?” Avril questioned, still worried about the night before.
“Yes baby, you just get your stuff together and I will grab a few things.”
Why does this have to happen to me? What have I done wrong? All this over a fight this can’t be the end he has to be fine. I don’t want our relationship to end I didn’t mean any of this. This is all my fault if I wouldn’t of left we would have been together and he wouldn’t have been running out in anger. I feel like this now and I haven’t even seen him in the hospital what will I feel like then?
4 hours later
The walls were white and the smell was that of disinfectant. There were patients sitting around the hallways and nurses running around. Avril walked up to the main desk and asked the person sitting their where Jamieson was.
“He’s in intensive care, I’m afraid you can’t see him right now” The woman said.
“You don’t understand” Avril said behind tears “I have to see him!”
“I’m sorry ma’am but it’s strictly not allowed.”
What else could happen? First I never said good bye at home and now I won’t be able to say good bye here. I need him to at least know I love him if anything happens. I’m going to see him and no person in a special uniform will tell me otherwise.
She made her way down the hallway to the large sign that said intensive care unit. She had let her Mom know she was going to the “bathroom”. The rooms all had doors that didn’t have windows and she could hear the beeping of the machines through all the doors. She looked at the signs on the doors but they didn’t have names on them, she didn’t know which room he was in.
Fuck which door is it? I can’t just open anyone someone might be in isolation or something.
She noticed a doctor approaching and asked him if he could tell her at least what room he was in so she could sit outside the door.
“I’m sorry, but this hallway is strictly off limits. We have a lot of doctors running up and down. You might block them or get hurt.”
“I really need to see Jaimeson!” Avril cried harder “All I want to say is that I love him.”
“I’m sorry but it’s against hospital policy you’re going to have to wait in the waiting room.”
“Do you know when he will be able to have visitors?”
“If anything too serious happens you will be notified, as well if he stabilizes more he will be moved into a different unit with visitation.” The doctor informed walking her out to the waiting room. “Now if you will just have a seat, we will inform you of any news. We do have your number so if you don’t wish to stay we can call you as well.”
“I don’t think I’ll leave right now.” Avril stated.
“Whatever you want to do, the coffee and snacks are just down the hall.” He pointed and walked down the hallway.
All I want is to say three words and I can’t tell him. What if he dies not knowing how much I loved him? What he dies feeling unloved? He never got along well with his parents and they never talked to him. That was why he never wanted to meet my parents, parents to him are unimportant; I could have shown him how important they are. I blew it I snapped!
“Avril…” Judy walked over “You needed an escorted bathroom break?”
“I was just going to see if I could find Jamieson but no one will let me see him!”
“I know baby but he’s in intensive care any little slip can cause problems.”
“Does it matter? When I left we were fighting I couldn’t possibly make it any worse.” Avril sighed, leaning her head on Judy’s shoulder.
“Dr. Naitz” A nurse called “The nurses in room 19 are paging, the patient is losing stababilty.” There was loud noises and Avril saw the doctor run down the hallway. He was in the intensive care unit.
She begged it not to be him, but the doctor soon came out with the news…..
