I'm so so sooooo sorry for the late update, basically I was really ill and I could bearly write a word, even with microsoft words help so I thought I'd better leave it for a while unless you wanted a chapter like this: hi sain aer oyu ok i siad sacred. LOL. Also sorry for not replying to your comments last chapter, partly becuase of the being ill thing and also becuase I didn't want to give anything away about the next chapter. Not that there's much to give away because I would never kill Sian off... shoot I've just given awa stuff... I think I'll stop talking now... or typing... RIGHT I'M GETTING ON WITH THE STORY AND STOPING RAMBELING... BYE :D
Chapter 9
“Um excuse me do you know where Sian Powers is?” Sophie asked a nurse her heart thudding
“Oh, she’s not with us anymore” The nurse said sympathetically
“You... you mean... that she’s... she’s dead” Sophie sobbed
“What... no... NO, no, no, no she’s alive she’s just not in this ward anymore”
Sophie sighed in relief, “Where is she then”
“Oh... well, she’s in intensive care”
“WHAT” Sophie gasped, “Why’s she there, I was with her yesterday, she was ok then”
The nurse mumbled something about needing to see other patients, obviously uncomfortable and hurried off.
Sophie took a breath and started trekking through the long winding halls towards intensive care feeling really scared. Finally she got there, she went to the front desk and asked where Sian was. Another nurse gave her a sympathetic look and pointed her to the first door on the left.
Sian was laying in a large bed hooked up too different machines making bleeping noises and doing other hospitally stuff. She looked even smaller than before and helpless, hooked up to a drip and with tubes up her nose and stuff. She was unconscious and there was a doctor next to her who had just finished checking her over.
“Oh hello, are you Sian’s family” The doctor asked Sophie
“Um something like that, um I was with her yesterday, what’s happened”
“Well she’s in a coma, fortunately we could save her, we weren’t sure if she’d pull through, she took a dangerous amount of tablets.”
“You mean she tried to kill herself” Gasped Sophie
“Well yes, I’m sorry, I thought you knew the circumstances”
Sophie shook her head
“Well I’ll leave you to it” Said the doctor
“Wait, is she... is she going to be ok” Sophie asked trying not to cry
“Well she will be... if she wakes up” He said and left the room
Sophie walked over to Sian and started to fiddle with Sian’s hair. “Please wake up Sian” She whispered. All she could hear was Sian’s breathing through that oxygen tubey thingy. “Come on you numpty wake up”
“I think you should kiss her” Said Rosie making Sophie jump
“Oh my gosh Rosie you scared the life out of me” Sophie gasped and realising what she said,” What are you on about anyway”
“Well in the fairytale when the princess is asleep a handsome prince comes and wakes her with kiss. Sian must be the princess because she’s the one asleep so you’re the prince”
“Thanks” Sophie said sarcastically
“Well kiss her then “Rosie said
“Don’t be stupid Rosie, fairytales aren’t real” she said half-heartedly
“Yes they are”
“Whatever, where’s mum”
“She’s in the canteen because she feels awkward with the situation”
“Oh right, and did she tell you to say that”
“No she told me to tell you that she was going to the canteen to get a coffee and she’ll be here in a minuet”
“Then why didn’t you tell me that”
“Because it’s not the truth and mum said I should always be truthful”
“Oh Rosie will you go away” Sophie said starting to get annoyed at her little sister
“Well where am I supposed to go, I’m not in Harry Potter so I can’t apperate home or anything... well even if I was in Harry Potter I wouldn’t be able to apperate because I’m under aged and I might get arrested by the ministry of magic and have to go to azcaban which I don’t particually want to go to because there are dementors there and they kind of suck out your soul and make you all depressed, and don’t even get me started on the dementors kiss because...”
“ROSIE WILL YOU SUT UP ALREADY!!! Why don’t you, and your scary Harry Potter obsession just go and join mum in the canteen”
“Alright there’s no need to get all narky with me” Rosie said and left
Sophie looked at Sian. She double checked that Rosie was gone and walked back over to Sian. Rosie’s idea kept running through her head and even though it seemed stupid it couldn’t hurt to try, not that she’d ever admit that to Rosie. Sophie lent in and slowly placed a gentle kiss on Sian’s lips. She leant back and waited for any reaction. At first nothing happened but after a few seconds she heard Sian sigh.
“Sian” She exclaimed hopefully but nothing else happened. Sophie sighed and sat back feeling helpless. She closed her eyes and whispered,“I love you”
