dead or alive: the hospital
by loekie
Cut to Marc sitting in the hospital waiting for the doctor to come back and tell him what was wrong with her…. He had called her parents and they were on there way…. He sighed got up and started walking up and down the hall…. Then he saw her parents rushing into the hallway. They walked over to him… “what happened” Hannah asked “what’s wrong?”. Marc looked at them “I… I don’t know… she just… one moment we’re on the bench and the next she is on the floor… they’re still with her…” he replied softly. John gently put a hand on his wife’s shoulder “it’s going to be alright… she is a tough girl…” he tried reassuring her maybe more to convince himself then her. Then the doctor came out of a room and they all looked up and anxiously walked over to her. “what’s wrong?” John immediately asked the doctor. She eyed them all “she probably will be alright… we will keep her unconscious for a few days to prevent any serious swelling of the brain but she should make a full recovery once that is under control” she explained. “can we see her?” Hannah asked looking at the doctor hopefully. “you can but there are some things I want to talk to you about first” the doctor replied “we have found she is hurt and has a lot of new and old injuries” she continued “any idea how she got them?” she asked. John looked at her with disbelieve “what are you implying?” he asked “that she has been beaten?” he asked eying Marc. The doctor eyed them all again “I’m simply stating our concern… and I think I will arrange a meeting for her to talk to someone from our psychiatry department when she is up for it. “thank you doctor” Hannah said… “could we please see her now?” she asked pleadingly. The doctor smiled “of course, follow me” she replied leading them into the room Jessica was in and left quietly. Marc stood in the door opening silently, sighed and turned around leaving the family alone together. He didn’t want to leave but thought it would be for the best. He would come back later. After one last glance at Jessica he was gone as well. Hannah walked over to her daughter “hey honey, we’re here” she said softly. She didn’t know if she could here her but she didn’t care…. “please get well soon…” she said taking her daughters small hand in hers. John put his arm around his wife’s shoulder again and stroked his daughters arm with the other “yeah… you gave us quit a scare you know?” he said just as soft also not caring…. Hannah then walked over and grabbed two chairs for them to sit on.
