Alice’s POV.
‘He’s marvellous with her isn’t he? The way he cares for her and he’s here every weekend without fail’ says Tina, one of the wonderful nurses caring for AJ as we stand outside of her room and look in through the window, where Went is doing his usual thing of brushing her hair for her. He’s so loving and attentive with her, even going as far as to do her skin care regime for her, wiping her face over with cleanser before dabbing on her moisturiser, and then just sitting there and talking to her for hours on end, or reading to her like he did this morning. He looks exhausted, and he really must be since for the last two months she’s been in hospital in a coma he’s never missed a weekend to come and visit her, even sitting and reading through his scripts while he’s here, even sleeping in a chair by her bed side because for whatever length of time he’s here for he just refuses to leave her.
‘He really is, and I just hope she wakes up so I can tell her what an attentive and wonderful man she has. Not that she won’t see that for herself’ I reply whilst smiling a tired smile. Everyone associated with AJ is exhausted right now, exhausted because we never leave her on her own. It isn’t me or her father sitting with her during the week it’s Josh and/or Ike, or her friend Darcy who is back in California for now and able to fit in visits around her schedule. And then at the weekend it’s Alex or Went in there keeping her company.
‘Well, you know yourself now Alice, the finality in all this is if she chooses to wake up again. Her injuries are all healing well and again as you know her neurological activity shows all the positive signs that her brain is in good working order’ Tina tells me as I nod.
‘I just have to hope those pretty blue eyes do open again, and sooner rather than later. I don’t want her to miss out on her life, everything she should be doing, everything she nearly missed out on because of one very foolish and selfish girl who AJ thought she could trust’ I say as Tina nods. I told her all about it and she was as disgusted as everyone else has been over it too, that ultimately Tamara’s decision to push AJ from her job lead to her being in this state now.
‘Well as long as you keep thinking positively Alice, that’s as much as any of you can do. If you’ll excuse me but I’m needed elsewhere’ she says while turning her pager off and walking away, patting my shoulder kindly as she passes me. And I know she’s right, but having hope that your daughter will awake from the coma she’s in when she’s showed no signs of doing so thus far, now almost nine weeks on from the accident, it’s difficult. And knowing that sometimes it can take months and even years for people to come around from a coma, if they do at all, isn’t doing me much good either. But through all of this at least I’ve had that one constant in my life that I missed so much when we were apart; Hank. In seeing him deal with this and look after me and Jack so much through it all, it’s made me fall in love with him all over again, even if our back togetherness is still very shiny and new it’s still made me realize I would have been lost without his love and support through it all.
It’s then that my mind turns to someone else who I suspect isn’t coping with this as well as she thinks, my eldest Alex. She’s similar to AJ with how she copes in a crisis; but whereas her sister shuts herself off completely Alex just does it emotionally, and she’s very good at it too; making you believe she’s fine when underneath she’s falling apart. And this is what I believe she’s doing right now, wherever she is. She stayed with AJ all last night and the night before since she and Went have a very precious week off from filming, and have both naturally decided to come and spend it here. But when she ducked out to go and get a shower and a change of clothes four hours ago she didn’t return, and I can’t help but worry about that especially since her cell is switched off too.
‘You look beat’ I tell Went when I walk back into AJ’s room and resume my spot on the other side of her bed.
‘I feel it, but I’m not leaving her side. Not until I have to go back to Texas at least’ he tells me, yawning and stretching right on cue.
‘I understand that honey, and I thank you for it too. Both me and Hank, well, we’ve never seen someone show her this level of devotion before, I have to say you’re the first boyfriend since a guy called Will she dated when she was twenty two that she’s brought home and I’ve actually liked’ I tell him, watching him smile.
‘Thank you, and yeah I am 100% devoted to your daughter. There’s just..................there’s no one else I can imagine being with other than her, or anyone I want to be with more than her either. And I don’t care how tired any of this devotion to her makes me either, I just want to be right here with her whenever I can, just like Alex too. Where is she by the way? She said she’d be back in an hour and that was four hours ago’ he says.
‘I was just wondering that myself, god knows where she is and I can’t call to find out either because her cell is off’ I reply with a frustrated sigh.
‘Actually Alice, I think I can guess. If you wait here with sleeping beauty I’ll go and see if I can find her’ he says, getting up and kissing AJ on the cheek before he reluctantly leaves, looking back at her once more before the door swings shut behind him.
‘If only to see how much that gorgeous man out there loves you, wake up my baby girl, please just wake up’ I whisper to her, stroking her head.
Wentworth’s POV.
Even though I have to say there’s reluctance in my pace as I leave the hospital, I know I’m doing it for a good cause and that’s to stop Alice worrying about two of her offspring rather than one. She mentioned to me before she doesn’t think Alex is coping as well as she says she is and I for one have to agree. I’m around her every day at work so of course I notice things; noticing for one that she refuses to lean on anyone else for support throughout this, noticing as well how underneath her cool exterior she’s beginning to crumble under the pressure and weight of her sister being comatose. And right now I can guess where she is, and what she’s doing to alleviate some of that pressure.
Walking into the Irish themed bar I order a vodka only to be told that apart from sodas and juices they only serve Irish beverages I change to a double Jameson and look around while I wait for it to be measured. Paying the woman behind the bar with hair as big as her cleavage (and the rest of her if I’m honest) I take my drink and walk around the bar until I land in a seat next to Alex, who jumps a little at my presence and then swallows the last dregs of her drink.
‘That was pint of Guinness number three, can I get a forth in here please? Cheers’ she says, addressing me and then the man standing behind the bar at the lower end, who nods and takes the glass from her outstretched hand. ‘Three pints and I’m drunk, woooo’ she then says, turning to me and finally letting someone see how she feels inside. She couldn’t even begin to hide that look on her face if she tried.
‘Well that forth will be your last then, being plastered isn’t going to do you a lot of good right now, no matter how much you need to blow off steam’ I say, taking a sip of the neat whisky and feeling it burn my mouth and throat as I swallow it back. I don’t usually drink it, but it seems a little part of me needed the same thing Alex did; something to take the edge off the situation. Unlike Alex though this will be my first and last alcoholic drink today; I don’t plan to add to the number like she has thus far.
‘Yeah you’re right, any more and I won’t be able to get off my chair let alone walk out of here in a straight line’ she replies, thanking the bar tender and paying him as he passes over her pint of what’s commonly known as ‘the black stuff’. AJ likes it too, but me, I can’t stand the stuff.
‘If you have any others to follow that you won’t be able to sit and coherently tell me why you’re hitting the drink, not that I can’t guess but Alex, I think it’s time you stopped bottling it up and just talk to someone. And since I’m here and not going anywhere that someone is me, so talk’ I tell her before taking another sip of my drink, letting one of the ice cubes melt in my mouth partially before crunching it into nothing with my teeth.
‘If I sit and even for a second verbally relay all the reasons I’m so scared right now I’ll fall apart, I won’t be able to hold it together to cope. I sat there with her last night and just cried because I felt so useless’ she tells me, her voice trembling a little before she steels herself not to cry.
‘It’s not just you that thinks that, everyone feels useless right now because she’s lying there and there’s nothing anyone can do to make her wake up. I know it’s a cliché, but you really do have to just keep your head up and keep thinking she will wake up. And no matter how long it takes the wait will be worth it for having her back with us properly. And that my friend is about as much as I can say, because it’s all that’s keeping me going right now’ I say to her as she nods whilst sipping (or rather gulping) back her drink.
‘I know, and I know there’s nothing else I can do other than wait either. But it’s just so hard to keep coming back and sitting there with her, knowing there’s been no change in her condition. I mean I know there’s been changes like her brain is firing properly now and her injuries are healing, but I mean the obvious here, the fact she’s still so far away from us in presence’ she replies, taking the cigarette I offer her before we head outside to smoke them.
‘She’s still here, and I firmly believe she can hear everything going on around her, she just can’t tell us she can yet. My grandmother says it like thus- ‘You’re all in the same house, but she’s just in another room she can’t come out of yet, and she knows you’re all on the other side of the door waiting for her, she just can’t open it and come back to you all yet’ is what she told me’ I say, remembering my grandma’s kind words on the phone to me. Even though she took an instant dislike to AJ based on her looks, her opinion of her has softened a hell of a lot after all of this. She tells me she prays for her every day and that if she wasn’t ‘so old and decrepit’ as she so comically puts it she’d fly over and visit. But at ninety three years of age I understand this would be quite a task for her; spritely and active she may be, but it’s still a lot for a lady of her age.
‘I like the way your grandma puts it, it’s a nice way to think’ she says, suddenly smiling and looking a little more upbeat.
‘That’s it, right there. That’s what she needs, she needs you to just have faith and patience in her’ I say, pointing to the smile on her face that widens after I’ve spoke.
‘Yeah you’re right Went, I know worrying is natural but I have to try and think that it isn’t an ‘if’ she’ll wake up scenario, it’s a ‘when’ she wakes up one’ she replies.
‘And how much better do you feel for that?’ I ask her.
‘A lot actually, thank you. Ten minutes of straight talking from you after three and a bit pints of this seems to have done the trick’ she says, turning to her side and kissing my cheek, a gesture I return while putting my arm around her and pulling her into a hug.
‘You know, no matter how mad I was when you finished it with her, I can’t deny you’ve been brilliant since all this happened. It’s no wonder she loves you so much; even though she never said it in as many words I knew she did. You’re everything to her’ she tells me, making me be the one to smile this time.
‘And I love her too; seriously, your sister means the world to me’ I reply. And so after calling Alice to tell her that her eldest is okay and we will be returning soon we sit and finish our drinks, all the time talking about AJ and everything we love about her. It’s chats like this that keep everyone going, talking about everything we love about her, or special memories we have of her too. And much later on that day when it’s just me sitting in AJ’s room with her, I reminisce over a few more memories too; ones I don’t want to tell anyone else about other than her.
‘I remember when we stayed in New York; I don’t think I’ve ever had that much sex in such a short space of time in my entire life. But what I remember most is when you got up to use the bathroom one night after I’d imprisoned you in the bed, and you got the worst case of jelly legs I’ve ever seen, walked, wobbled and then fell into the wall. I shouldn’t have laughed quite as hard as I did, since technically it was my fault, but damn it was funny’ I tell her, remembering it and laughing quietly while I hold her hand.
‘I remember later that night too when you’d fallen asleep and I just lay there for about an hour and looked at you, and even though I didn’t say anything I counted each reason why I loved you, I just wish I would have told you then too, woke you up right at that moment and just said ‘AJ I love you’ because I do. I think I’ve been in love with you since before we left Chicago, I just felt it was too soon to say anything’ I then tell her, a point I know I’ll come back to over and over, for as long as she’s lying there and also when she wakes up too. I’ll tell her how much I love her so often she’ll get sick of hearing it.
‘And I remember the time you gave me a hickey right above my hip, and when I took my shirt off the next morning to get the transfers applied Pam wouldn’t leave me alone about it, and then told everyone, thus making my face red for the rest of the day all because of you!’ I say happily, and then fade to sad as I look at her, just lying there motionless instead of laughing at what I’m saying, having input into this totally one sided conversation.
‘I miss you so much, even though I know you’re right here, I still miss you AJ. Wake up, please just wake up. Because if you do in the six days I have left here, well, I really would like to be the first person you see when you open those gorgeous eyes. And because there’s only one thing I want to tell you too, and that’s how much I love you. Because I do sweetheart, I love you more than anything’ I tell her, leaning over and kissing her cheek before resting my head back down on the bed, resuming the holding of her hand and the wait for her to wake up again. And I’ll wait forever for her too, there’s no one else for me in this world. Just the woman lying incapacitated in this room with me now. I just hope she knows that too.
