Chapter Eight:

"I'm fine," she replied looking short of words.

"I… I… didn't mean it," started Iain beginning to panic, the machines began to beep wildly as Iain's heart rate increased, and he began to meltdown. Which Rita knew wasn't good with his injuries.

"Iain I know you didn't, just calm down ok, please you need to be ok Iain," Rita pleaded tears brimmed her eyes.

"Ok, I'll calm down," he replied. "Don't get upset please, I'm ok, I promise you," started Iain as Ethan and Charlie appeared.

"But you're not ok, you're not ok Iain," started Rita tears dripping down her cheeks.

"Don't cry; please don't cry, I don't understand, I'm ok?" Iain replied utterly confused.

"Ok sir, were just going to ask a few questions which we need you to answer so we can work out your current injuries sir," started Ethan.

Iain just looked baffled at him, why was he calling him sir, not simply Iain.

"Can you tell us your full name sir," addressed Ethan carefully.

Iain looked sceptically back at him, did they seriously think that he'd lost his memory.

"Your full name is what?" asked Charlie in a serious tone.

"Iain Edward Dean," replied Iain staring at Charlie as if he was something from another planet.

"Ok, well were going to need to take some tests, but your memory seems to be fine," replied Ethan.

"From one question, your seriously going to judge my memory off one question?" asked Iain confused.

"Well Iain, can you tell us the current prime minister and the month?" asked Ethan.

"David Cameron, and its June 27th," replied Iain sounding so confident.

"Ok, Iain, the date is the 7th of July, you have been unconscious for 10 days," started Ethan.

"I've been what?" asked Iain gobsmacked?

"Ok Iain, I'm just going to get Dr Beauchamp, as you are her patient," replied Ethan disappearing.

"What do you mean unconscious? 10 days? I've been out cold for 10 days? Are you sure?" asked Iain looking totally shocked.

"Yes Iain, you've been in a coma for the last 10 days," repeated Connie walking in.

"But…" he started before not knowing what to say.

"Ok Iain, can you tell me the last thing you remember, I need you tell me everything leading up to the crash," stated Connie.

Iain seemed to think for a while before finally answering.

"I was talking to Rita, and then she backed away, and I saw the car, and I pushed her out the way, but I forgot to get out of the way myself," replied Iain feeling quite stupid with himself for forgetting that vital part.

"Ok, so your memory seems to be fine, can you talk to me about the pain?" asked Connie in her doctor voice, well did she ever use anything else?
"It's unbearable, it's just painful," replied Iain.

"Ok, well we can increase your morphine levels if you want us to, but it may slow down your recovery," replied Connie indicating for Ethan to increase the morphine.

"NO," Iain suddenly snapped.

"What?" asked Connie confused, didn't he want the pain relief?

"I don't want it, I want to be out of her as soon as possible, I can deal with the pain," replied Iain resting his head back against the bed.

"Are you sure?" asked Connie, wanting to make sure that he was in fact going to be ok.

"I have had worse," came the simple response.

"Very well," replied Connie.

"What's the sit rep?" asked Iain?

As Connie explained his injuries once again to a shocked Iain Dean, Rita felt herself fade, at the thought that she hadn't lost him, he was going to be ok, they were going to get through this, slowly, but they would, she wouldn't lose him. She wouldn't let him go.
