That's the Way ~ The Story Remains the Same Sequel

Chapter Forty-Two

I woke up super early. I only got maybe three hours of sleep, maybe less. I sat up in the bed and saw Jimmy sleeping in the chair by the window. I think he tried to stay up all night to see if I was fine. You know, sometimes Jimmy is a massive jerk, but he does sweet things like this and it takes the jerk part about him out. I got out of bed. The cold air surprised me but hey, I am naked. I walked quickly to the bathroom and checked if my panties were dry. Sadly, they were not. I grabbed my clothes that were thrown on the sink and put them on. All my other clothes were in the other room, but I just wanted clothes on. After I had my clothes on, I walked over to Jimmy and kissed his forehead.

"What time is it?" he asked still sleeping?

"Five thirty" I quietly said, "I'm going to go get new clothes on and visit the hospital in a few hours."

"No, stay" he stated to get out of the chair still half asleep.

"I'm good" I lied, "You stay here".

"Whatever you say, babe."

I smiled before giving him one last kiss. I left his room and headed over to my room that the kids are in. When I walked into the room everyone was still sleeping. I mean it's five in the morning. Who would be up at this time of day? Being as quiet as I can be, I grabbed a pair of shorts, tank top, and a sweater. I went to the bathroom to change and grabbed a towel. I walked over to my things and got my camera. Why not catch the sunrise instead of staying in a room. I left the room and hurried down to the pool area. Maybe this will take my mind off things. I also had a book with me. I am currently reading The God Machine. I have no idea why I am reading it, but it is something different.

Around six-thirty, the sun was up and greeted the day. It was so peaceful. I don't think people really enjoy nature. I personally think that when you are the ages between twenty and up to retirement, life is just a blur. You have a family, a house, a pet and you don't appreciate things as you did when you were younger. And in the ripe age of retirement, you start to realize that everything was beautiful and missed everything because you were too busy with everything. It's just the little things that people don't truly appreciate. As the way, the sky looks when there is no cloud in sight or how wonderful the smell of freshly cut grass smells. I am not complaining I just feel like people need to find the little things in life again and not regret them later in life. Around seven, I gathered my things and headed back to the room.

Around eight-thirty, I decided to go see Mo at the hospital. I talked to Jimmy about it and he said that he would watch Scar. She wanted to go with me, but I told her no. Jimmy even decided to leave his room to go have breakfast with Scar and me. I didn't really eat since I am not feeling it. I think it worried Jimmy, but I just shrugged it off.

Mo sister went to the hospital with me. She left all the kids, except for Scar, with her husband. I met her a few times, but I didn't really know her till these past few days. She's a nurse at the local hospital back in England. (AN:// I have no idea who her sister is nor what she does) She said that she's heard a few of my band's songs and really liked them. She did ask me about my hand cause she saw that I was a bit messed up. She looked at my hand and said that I broke two knuckles. She told me to get fixed as soon as I could. While sitting in Mo's room, the doctor came in.

"How is she," Mo's sister asked.

"She's doing better, but she's still unconscious."

"Do you know when she's going to wake up?"

"We have no idea yet." The doctor said before walking away.

She sighed and walked into Mo's room to sit next to her. I wish these doctors were more helpful than they are. This is possibly the worst hospital I've ever been in. I really can't believe it. I excused myself to use the ladies' room so I could make a call on the payphone.

"Hello" Peter answered the phone a tad annoyed.

"Hey, Peter it Hazel." I softly spoke.

"Oh Hello Hazel," he said with a bit more pep in his voice, "Can I why you phoned me?"

"I was wondering if you could help me out?"

"Depends on what it is?"

"I was wondering if you would be able to relocate Mo to a different hospital. I have a bad feeling that she's not getting the best care here." I started to fake cry, "I don't think she's going to make it."

"Oh, Hazel don't think that that. I'll see what I can do."

"Thank you so much" my voice cracked, "I can't lose another person...not again Peter. I owe you a dinner when I come back."

"Don't worry about it kiddo. Let me deal with everything and go clear your head."

I thanked him once again before hanging the phone up. I quickly wiped the tears away before heading back to the room. I sighed, what could possibly happen next?
