Chapter 9

Angels POV

After a couple of days it was finally time for me to get out of hospital and be at home. The nurses had sent me home with what felt like a suitcase full of medication for inflammation, pain and antibiotics as one of my wounds was getting a little weepy.

Somehow, Christie and Julian had arranged to work a few less shifts and alternate they’re working pattern so that somebody could always be with me. I was feeling so grateful. Somehow I had never realised how close these two amazing people were to me, Rider clearly had me blinded by love.

Rider had tried to visit still while I was in hospital, but every time he got turned away and on one occasion I heard Juli telling him that he needs to stay away from me full stop and adding, “ who is the liar now you dirty cheat?”

From what I was told Rider has agreed to back off and to leave me alone, he has been told that I am well and truly finished with him. I just hope he stays away.

Over the next couple of weeks, I spent a lot of time with physios and nurses tending to my wounds . With the help of these two wonderful friends, I was slowly but surely feeling more like myself..

I have noticed a couple of times there seems to be a car outside my home . The car isn’t doing anything but just parked there and I am yet to get a glimpse of the driver.

When I was doing physio in the front garden because it was such a beautiful day, I noticed the car still parked on my street however this time it packed further up the road.

It was a dark grey SUV that looked very expensive and brand-new. It’s not a car I recognise from anybody that I know so I am intrigued to find out who it belongs to and maybe I should ask them why they are parking outside my house.

For a while I was worried in case it was debt collectors because my stay at the hospital must have cost thousands and I am yet to receive a Bill. I had worked so hard already this past year to get the claim through for my parents life insurance which only just covered the cost of the house. At least I didn’t need to worry about loosing my home on top of everything especially since I can’t work right now. Although I was worried how I was going to g to pay basic bills and get shopping long term.

My savings will only stretch so far.

Christie and Julian keep topping up the food in the pantry and my double door fridge freezer always seems full but I’m not sure how. However with everything else going on I will question that another time.

Things wouldn’t be back to normal for quite some time, however there was a bonus, I have received a letter from the hospital regarding my placement and they are being so understanding and giving me some time off my placement, but said it won’t affect my outcome, especially after all the hours I have already put in at the hospital and my tutors have been able to put my learning documents on an electronic system for me to complete from home, which means I hopefully won’t fall behind too much on my studies.

Although I don’t know how long my recovery will take, I am able to relax more knowing that my education won’t be suffering and that I could still have a future in the ED department.
