Heartache and friendships - chapter five

Chapter five

Cadee awoke again in a hospital bed. She had a drip in her left wrist and Sarina and Christina holding onto her right hand together. She had to blink a few times before opening her eyes completely. She smiled at Sarina who lent in and hugged her tight.

“Babe! Are you all right? Adam was worried about you!”

“He’s awake?” cadee said quietly. Her throat was sore and her head was pounding.

“Yes.. The nurse said when you woke up we could go see him”

“Go get the nurse.. I need to see him” cadee said to Sarina who ran out the room as fast as possible. Christian looked at her and smiled.

“What did he say to you this morning?” he enquired. Cadee sighed and tried to remember.

“Don’t forget about me” she recalled and began to cry again. Christian looked at her and tried to cheer her up.

“It isn’t your fault. He found out about Sam”

“Shit..” cadee sighed as the nurse walked in.

“Let’s get that drip out of you so you can go and see your fiancée” spoke the nurse as she held Cadee’s wrist.

“Fiancée?” Christian and Sarina said in unison.

Cadee smiled which caused Sarina to smack her playfully on the arm.

After the nurse had taken the drip out and wrapped a bandage around her arm cadee was lead down the corridor with Christian and Sarina with her. They stopped outside Adams room and watched as a nurse checked his drip and made sure he was comfortable. When she exited the room she smiled at cadee. Cadee smiled back then stood in the doorway. Adam looked so pale. He still had a lot of tubes in him and his bandages were tinted pink.

“Mi amor?” he spoke weakly. Cadee smiled and walked over to him.

“Why??” she managed before starting to cry again. He moved his hand to hers and smiled.

“I didn’t know what I was doing. Sam persuaded me too. I didn’t know you were dating him at the time”

“Oh Adam…” she sighed before he put her hand to his mouth and kissed it.

“I’m staying with you until your better” cadee protested.

“Do you know how long they’ll keep me here?” he questioned. He sensed cadee had a plan as her smile went from sympathetic to mischievous.

“Your going to a private hospital..”

“Would that be your house?”

“Maybe, why wouldn’t my baby be aloud to?”

“What about your mother?” he asked concerned.

“Shit! I didn’t think about her”

“Your fathers. He likes me.. He has rights to see you doesn’t he?”

“Yes! Okay I’m going to pack my bags and run away to dads. If we turned up on his doorstep he’d take us in! Baby you’re a genius”

“Can you get the nurse. I’m going to say I need to go to my private hospital”

Cadee arrived home late to find her mother sitting at the kitchen table.

“And where have you been?” her mother asked coldly. Cadee smiled and went to walk away but her mother stood up.

“I asked where have you been!” she screamed before throwing her glass at cadee. She ducked just in time. The glass hit the wall behind her and smashed all over the floor. Cadee moved away and tried to run up the stairs to her room. Her mother stood at the bottom of the staircase and smiled.

“What’s wrong? Don’t want me to know you’ve been seeing that pathetic..”

“Don’t call him pathetic!” cadee screamed. Adam could hear them arguing from outside. Cadee had hidden him in the bushes so her mother wouldn’t see him. He hoped she was okay and not in too much trouble.

“He is pathetic! He had a drug overdose cadee! Can’t you see why I don’t want you near him! He’s ruining your repu..”

“My reputation? Don’t you mean yours? Ooo your daughters hanging around a drug addict. People are talking..” cadee was interrupted by her mothers fist smashing into her cheek bone. She stumbled backwards and screamed. Her mother exited the room and went back into the kitchen. Cadee ran up to her room and locked the door. She grabbed her suitcase from under her bed and threw as much clothes in it as possible. She grabbed everything she could and whistled out the window to get Adams attention. Tears streamed down her face as she threw the suitcase down to him. She made sure her mother was busy in the kitchen before she stepped out onto the roof, along past her sisters room and down onto the tree branches. When she landed in Adams arms he let her down and stared at her.

“She hit you?” he exclaimed. Cadee grabbed her suitcase and Adams hand.

“Let’s leave before she sees im gone”

cadee turned up on her fathers front door and knocked on the door. She waited patiently before the door opened.

“cadee? Adam? What?”

“Dad? Mum hit me” cadee managed to say before bursting into tears.

“That..” all the birds in the neighboring area screeched and flew from their positions as Cadee’s father took them both inside.
