𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 - 𝐓𝐨𝐦 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 {𝟐} (On Hold)

Part 5

I've been laying in the same position for hours. I've been looking at the ceiling and I can confirm that there are 100 tiles on the ceiling. I've probably counted them 80 times. I can hear a commotion going on outside, but I can barely hear any of the words being said because of the door being closed. I swear I hear Tom's voice and a sense of fear lights inside of me, but it slowly diminishes because I know he's not here. He's probably at home drunk off his ass have sex with a girl right now. I wouldn't be surprised. All the yelling stops and I'm greeting with the sound of silence again. I look to the side and see trays of food still full sitting there. Not gonna lie it makes me sick looking at them. The thought of eating right now makes my stomach hurt. My Mom has been trying to get me to eat, but the only thing I want to do right now is curl up in a ball and never wake up again. I don't even want to see my Dad anymore because I don't think I can take the sight of him because every bruise and cut was caused by me. I start to tear up at the thought of it, but I quickly blink them away when I hear the door open. I look over and expect to see my Mom, but I'm surprised when I see Nicole and Cameron walk in. Nicole immediately smiles at me and I see Cameron holding a vase of flowers. He walks over and puts them with the rest of the flowers and follows behind Nicole,

"Hey hon, how are you?", Nicole asks as she gives me a hug. I shrug for an answer and she pulls away then sits in the seat that Lily was sitting in and Cameron sits in the one Jack was sitting in. Nicole sighs and looks around the room. She sees the trays of food and chuckles lightly,

"I heard hospital food was horrible.", she says and then looks over at me. I shrug my shoulders and look down,

"We all miss you at work.", Cameron speaks up,

"I miss our annual lunches.", he laughs lightly,

"Yeah, I miss gossiping to you. I've been having to talk to Cheryl and boy she looks at me like I have two heads. And I can't get what I want out because she chews so fricking loud.", she complains. I laugh very quietly, but continue to look down,

"Steve said that none of this will affect your internship. Once you get better he said that you can come right back if you are still up to it. He also says sorry he couldn't come today, he had a lot of stuff going on with future projects.", she says. I nod my head slowly and sigh. It's silent for a couple of moments before I feel her grab my hand,

"Y/n, it's all gonna be okay.", she says,

"Yeah, you're gonna get through this.", Cameron says. I give them both a small smile and she squeezes my hand. They both continue to talk to me and catch me up on what's going on. I just let them talk and I just listen. They don't push me to say anything and I appreciate that because I don't really have anything to say. Some time goes by before Martha walks in,

"Sorry.", she apologizes when she sees that people are in here,

"Oh no! It's okay, we were just gonna head out anyway.", Nicole says to her. She nods her head and Martha comes up next to me. Nicole looks at me and gives me a smile,

"We'll come back soon.", she says and gives me a hug carefully. She backs away so Cameron can come to give me a hug,

"Take care of yourself, okay?", he says to me. I give him a small nod and he smiles. They say their last goodbyes before they exit the room,

"Would you like to go to the bathroom?", Martha asks me. I nod my head and she helps me. It takes me a while to get out of bed then walk over to the bathroom. Every time I go she always has to help me because I'm not well enough to take care of myself. My whole body hurts and with every little step I take I wince. I grab onto the counter in the bathroom to steady myself,
