Chapter 15
Jeanne’s POV

No! No it can’t be Bette, Tina and Holly……. Please it can’t be…..
We are in Ben’s car on our way to the medical centre. We’ve got a police escort, and Ben is driving like a mad man. But it is good, because I need to be with my daughter, and with little Holly.
It’s been 45 minutes before we stop at the centre, all of us makes our way to the ER….. But there at the doors we are stopped by a nurse.
“Good afternoon, I’m Nurse Betty, how can I help you?”
“We are here to see our daughters and grandchild, Bette Porter, Tina Kennard and little Holly.”
“Yes the doctors are busy with Mrs Porter, Mrs Kennard and Holly are in a private room in the ICU, I can take you to see them. But only one are allowed to go in at a time.”
“What about my daughter, what is wrong with my daughter, why are they still busy with her?”
“Mam there were a lot of smoke, so all three of them are treated for smoke inhaling. The roof of the house collapsed and some peace of the roof fell on Mrs Porter’s. They took her to the operating room. I will come and update you as soon as they give me an update on her. Come let me take you to Mrs Kennard and Holly.”
They show us the way to Tina’s and Holly’s room, and me and Lisa are allowed to go in together, inside the room you could hear the sound of the respirator, which help both of them to stay alive.
“Your daughter and granddaughter are sedated, they will be out for the next two hours or even a bit more. Please sit down, talk to them, like I said as soon as I’ve got news on your daughter, I will come and tell you. As soon as they are awake, we will slowly take them off the respirators. Just press the bell if you need anything.”
Operating Room:
“Doctor her blood pressure is dropping……”
“She is losing blood, we need to do a blood transfer and fix this. Blood type a positive please get us some blood, ASAP!!!!!!”
“Sure doctor, will do.”
Bette’s POV
I think I’m going to die, I’m not feeling good, but it can’t happen, not now. I need to see my daughter grow up to be an adult, I need to get married to Tina. We need to make the beach house our house to be a family. We need to go and get Isabella, I need to be happy for once in my life, I need, I need, I need………..
“Doctor we are losing her……… WE ARE LOSING…..”
It is the end……. I’m gone….. Goodbye my sweet little girl, goodbye my love……… I see my dad waiting for me….
“We need to restart her heart, are you ready? 1, 2, and 3 clear………… Charge it again……ready 1, 2, 3 clear…………..
And just before I can say goodbye for the last time, Tina is there she smiles at me, take my hand and pull me back………. “Bette I need you come back to me, come back to us, I love you……”
Beep…. Beep….. Beep……..
”She’s Back, thank God she’s back………..”
Two hours later, after a stressful operation……
“Hallo Mrs Porter, the operation was successful, Bette Porter survived…. We’ve put her in a separate room in ICU, she is in a coma but she is alive.”
“Thank you doctor, this is the best news……… I will go and tell the others, thanks for all your hard work. When can we see her?”
“Mam, your daughter is still critical, the next 24 hours will be very hard for her, if she can pull through this, then I think she will be okay. I think you need to go tell the little one and Mrs KENNARD.”
“Thanks Doctor, I will go and tell them.”
Tina’s POV
I wake up with a bang……. It almost felt as if Bette was here, I could see her, but, she was saying goodbye to me…….. I need her in my life…… I love her…… So I scream at her, that she need to come back to me, back to us……..and then I wake up…… I need to know where is Bette, where is Holly?
Ok so I’m not alone in the room, I can see Holly in the bed next to me, but no one else. Where is Bette, where is my baby………. The door open and in come the moms.
“Hey darling…. Please just relax ok, everything will be okay. You are going to be okay, and Holly will also be okay, they will take you of the ventilator……..”
I can’t speak but I look around the room for Bette….
“Bette is in a separate room, also in the ICU, she had an operation, and the next 24 hours is critical. But Jeanne spoke to the doctor, and he is very positive.”
I relax a bit, but I will be more relaxed when I can see her and talk to her……… I miss her so much.
The next few hours, feel like weeks……. Slowly they start to remove the ventilator…… so they I can breathe on my own again, as soon as it was done, I ask them to take me to Bette. But they refuse, I have to stay in bed with zero stress till the next morning…… damm its going to be a long night.
Then I hear a lot of noise….. There are people running, someone shout “code blue code blue…. Porters room”
And then everything is black…….still……… no noise………dead!
Bette POV
I’m dying, this time I’m sure I’m not going to make it. My dad is standing there, waiting for me.
“Daddy I missed you so much, it’s nice to see you, but where are we going? I want to go back dad, I need to go back to Holly!”
“Bette it’s over, you are dead honey, and you can’t be with them anymore. You will always be in their hearts honey, but its time, let’s go.”
“Daddy I can’t go, I need to see Holly, to see her grow up. I need to be with mommy dad. I want to spend my life with Tina. I want to go back daddy!”
“I understand, but then you have to fight this, you have to fight to stay alive. I love you!”
