Too Many Drinks, Too Much Pain (Part 2)

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters of All Saints. They belong to Channel 7. I have no association with the cast and crew of All Saints

Author’s Note: I am sorry if I don’t have the medical jargon right, but I am only 12 and do not know very much about medicine. I know a bit but no much. I have not studied law either so I have no idea what happens in court. I am very sorry if I have made any mistakes. I thought up these ideas my self!

Bron slowly opened her eyes. Her site was so blurry that she closed her eyes for a second. She opened her eyes again and was staring into the deep blue eyes of her wonderful friend, Ben

“Hey sleepyhead” Ben said

“Hi” Bron replied, flinching as pain soared through her jaw and cheek

“I’ve brought someone you might like to see,” he said opening the curtain. There stood Charlotte

“Noodle, how do you feel?”

“Um, my jaws a bit sore” Bron said slowly, trying to prevent more pain from surging through her mouth. Charlotte moved forward and gave her 100,g of Pethidine IV. A single tear fell down Bron’s cheek.

“Hey, it’ll be ok” Ben said taking Bron’s hand.

“What’s going to happen” Bron whispered.

“Were going to press charges against Luke for what he did to you.”

“OK” Bron said relaxing into the pillows. Bron was asleep in a matter of minutes. Ben sat by her bed. He was quietly talking to her when a wave of tiredness hit him and he fell asleep.

“No, don’t please. LUKE! GIVE ME BACK MY CLOTHS. NO! DON’T HIT ME! STOP! PLEASE DON’T HURT ME!” Bron flew up in bed. Sweat drenched her and body and the sheets.

“Oh honey, what’s the matter?” Ben asked.

“He was going to hit me” Bron whispered, with all the energy she could muster. Her jaw started hurting like hell again

“OOOOWWWW!” Bron cried in pain. She gripped Ben’s hand tightly.

“Ben it hurts, it hurts” Ben pushed the buzzer. Luke came running in.

“What’s the matter?” he asked

“NO, STAY AWAY” Bron screamed.

Charlotte and Rebecca came running in hearing all the commotion.

Just then Bron felt the taste of blood in her mouth.  There was too much blood in Bron’s mouth for her to bear; she spat in out all over the sheets and Ben, crying out in pain as she did so. Charlotte saw the blood and immediately started barking out instructions.

“Bec, get Bron ready for theatre stat and Luke stay right away from here, Bron’s my patient now. Ben go and get yourself cleaned up and wait for me here.” Charlotte turned to Bron.

“We didn’t wire your cheek bone cause we didn’t want to interfere to much, but it appears we are going to have to.” and with that Bron was wheeled away to theatre.

Ben was pacing up and down in Bron’s room waiting for Charlotte. Charlotte came an hour later

“What happened?” Ben asked

“We had to wire her jaw” Charlotte said

“Why didn’t you do that in the first place?” Ben asked

“Because we thought it would be better if we didn’t interfere to much. She might have a small scar but not much of one” Charlotte said

“And she won’t be able to talk for a while”

“Can I go and see her?” Ben asked anxiously

“Yeah, sure, follow me” Charlotte said walking out of the room, Ben followed. They walked down a corridor and turned to go to the ICU rooms. Once they reached Bron’s room, Charlotte knocked, Bec came to the door.

“You can come and see her now, She’s just starting to wake” Ben walked in, he saw Bron lying in the bed, an oxygen mask on her face, a drip in her hand. She looks so helpless, he though as he sat down next to her.

Bron slowly opened her eyes for a second time that day. She looked around the room. She was in ICU. She felt a strong hand grip hers. She turned her head slowly to see Ben looking back at her.

“Hey” Ben said. Bron tried to talk but her jaw was too sore.

“Don’t try and talk” He said, softly placing his finger on her lips.

“Your probably in a lot of pain at the moment but I want you to know that I love you” Bron let the tears slide down her cheeks at these words.

“Hey baby don’t cry” Ben said gently wiping the tears away with his thumb. Bron smiled slightly to show him that she also cared about him.

Charlotte walked a moment later

“Hey noodle” Charlotte said. Bron turned her head to face Charlotte.

“You understand what we did?” Bron nodded her head slowly.

“Are you in any pain?” Bron nodded again. Charlotte stepped forward a gave her some morphine.

“That should help, but for now you need lots and lots of rest.” She said giving Bron’s hand a squeeze

“Now I’ll be back later to check on you,” Charlotte said before leaving the room.

2 months later Bron got out of bed, heading for the shower. Today was the day she had been dreading for the last few weeks. Today she was taking Luke to court. Bron finished up her shower and got dressed in her best cloths. Ben was going to be there all the way, so she knew she would be ok. Ben stood by her the last few months. He helped her trust people again and get over her nightmares. Ben came in just a Bron was pulling her long red hair into a tight ponytail.

“Ready for the big day?” He asked putting his arm around her

“I don’t know if I can do it Ben, I really don’t. I’m so scared of what’s going to happen” Bron said tears forming in her eyes.

“Don’t worry you’ll be fine, just answer everything truthfully and I’ll be near to lend you a helping hand,” He said kissing the top of her forehead. Bron quickly wiped the tears away before turning around.

“How do I look?” she asked

“Beautiful” Ben answered. Bron smiled, Ben always knew the right thing to say, to make her feel better.

“Now I have a question for you. Are bacon and eggs ok for breakfast cause I have already made them?” Ben asked

“Well I don’t know if I could eat…” But before Bron could finish her sentence Ben had scooped her up and carried her down stairs.

“Ben put me down!” Bron laughed as Ben walked down the stairs. Ben pretended to drop her, but he didn’t. He carried her all the way to the table before plonking her down on the seat and handing her a fork.

“Now I’ll ask you again” Ben said smiling

“Are bacon and eggs ok for breakfast?” Bron smiled happily as she shovelled a mouthful in. She ate her breakfast while Ben made a pot of coffee. Bron finished her bacon and eggs and brought her plate over to the sink. It read 8:30am on the clock. The court case started at 9:00am

“Ben we better hurry, I don’t want to be late,” Bron said. Ben walked up to Ben and lifted her into his arms. He gave her a passionate kiss before saying

“Ok we’ll leave now.” Ben placed Bron back down on the floor and Bron took his hand, they left the house with a slam of the door.

“I feel so much better, thank you” Bron said as they drove off

“I’d do anything for you, cause I love you” Ben said

“And I love you too” Bron said kissing his hand.
