The visit

So we had left and we had come back, Laura was lying in a hospital bed looking very vulnerable, her skin was pale, her hair was tatty, and she was wearing one of them silly hospital gowns, but she was alive, and that is all that matters.
“She is still on life support and her drip is supplying her with all the nutrients she could ever need, she will feel a whole new lease on life after this” Said the nurse
“Thank you” I whispered “Hey Laura”
She nodded
“How are you feeling?”
“I am… okay, a bit drowsy and confused but okay”
“Why are you confused?”
“I don't remember what happened”
“Seriously?”
“Yeah”
“You took a bullet for me!”
“Ah I did not”
“Yeah you really did and I am so grateful words cannot even describe!”
“Wow”
“Yeah”
“Is blue here?”
“Yeah he just went to get drinks”
“I'm not allowed to drink am I?”
“No, but you are on the drip so you'll stay hydrated”
“Suppose that's good”
“A police officer came to see me yesterday”
“Yeah”
“Yeah, asking me what happened, so I told him that blue and ray where arguing and that some man took me off to the side he basically told me to shut up and stay still then pulled that gun on me, you must have been watching cause I don't have a clue where you came from you just appeared and jumped in front of me, you were seconds from death, darling, I cant believe you care about me that much”
“Well what are friends for”
“Yeah, I suppose, still pretty amazing what you did”
“Can we stop talking about it?”
“Oh! Of course, I'm sorry”
“It's okay”
“Blue is back”
“Hey baby”
“Hello my little angel”

She didn't get chance to say what she wanted to say as the nect second she was asleep, faster than you could say sleep!
The nurse ushered us out of there and told us that in future we can only come during visiting hours
“What are the times?”
“One until four and six until eight”
“Okay thank you and we left”
