night time talks

'Carrie's pov





Blowing another piece of hair out of her face she tried again, not that it was going to work she had been trying for the past forty minutes with no luck. Kelly had taken everyone out to breakfast to let Carrie have an extra hour in bed before she had to start her interviews for the day. Kicking the door one last time Carrie threw herself into the drives seat of the bus, Kelly had locked her in, leaving her alone in an empty bus.



'Hello.......'And now Carrie was hearing things. 'Hello......' And again. Carrie looked up the length of the bus to find Jeanne getting out of her bunk.



'She left you?.......' Carrie asked.



'I wasn't feeling good.....I told her I would meet her a little later........'



'Well we're locked in.....'Carrie sighed as she rested her head against the drivers seat.



'Oh we are not......'Jeanne shook her head.



'I'm not joking......' Carrie sighed as she got up. She hated the fact that Jeanne never took her seriously. She never listened.



'Well find the key......'



'Can't, the door locks from the outside.........'



'So phone Kelly............'Jeanne pulled her phone from her purse. Carrie stood back watching, letting the older woman do what she wanted. She knew what the outcome of Jeanne's action were going to be. Carrie tried not to smirk as Kelly's phone began to ring.



'I tried that about twenty minutes ago........'Carrie's smile was now plastered over her face.



'Why have a phone of your not going to keep it around you......'Jeanne complained to herself. Carrie knew she couldn't stay locked in the bus alone with her mother in law. She need to get out. Making her way over to the door she could still hear Jeanne complaining about Kelly, she knew the older woman would never do it to her daughters face. Kelly was too good at saying what was on her mind to her mother these days. Carrie tried blocking out Jeanne's ranting as she pressed the handle again.



'Son of a.......'Carrie gripped her hand to her chest as Jeanne suddenly stopped to look at her.



'You think that language is suitable for a lady?......'



'I've cut my hand.......the handle snapped......'Carrie said threw gritted teeth.



'Well shake it off.......'Jeanne responded.



'Yea thanks for that.......'Carrie moved away from the door making her way toward Jeanne.



'Your bleeding.....'



'Yea I saw that......'Carrie clutched her hand to her chest, she was to afraid to look at it.



'And it's dripping on the floor........can't you stand still.......'



'I'm trying to find a towel......' Her hand was beginning to sting now, the cut was deep, she could feel It .



'Oh will you sit.......'Jeanne quickly grabbed a towel as she knelt down in front of the blond. 'Now let me look.......' Jeanne's face paled as she looked down at Carrie's hand.



'What?....what's wrong.,.......'Carrie began to panic, her first thought was to look down but Jeanne held onto her chin stopping her.



'Just stay calm......it's just a little deep......but I think we need to get you to a hospital......quickly.......' Jeanne wrapped a towel round the blonds hands. She grabbed her own scarf placing it around her wrist.



'oh my god.....im going to die and my wife's locked me in.......im going to die.....with you here ......and your going to sit and watch.....'Carrie was panicking now. She didn't cope well with blood. ' I want Kelly........'



'I am not sitting watching......now im going to call that bus driver of you and he will let us out and drive us to the hospital.......i will get word to Kelly and she will met us there.......'



'I'm going to die.......' Carrie was gripping her hand tight, the towel Jeanne had placed round her hand was now turning red from the blood.



'Your not going to die.....'Jeanne sighed as she hung up the phone. 'He's on his way.......'



'How do you know......Your not a nurse.....'



'No but I am a mother........Kelly's mother.......you know how many hours ive spent in a hospital cause that kid fell or something......'



'Yea....'Carrie smiled softly .' she is really clumsy.........'



'Yes......'Jeanne knelt down in front of Carrie replacing the bloody towel with a clean one. 'She really is........'



'Tell me a story......'Carrie winced as Jeanne tightened the towel.



'A story?.......like once upon a time......'



'No...... like a Kelly story.......' Carrie clutched her hand closer to her again.



'Ok......'Jeanne smiled as show thought of the perfect story to tell Carrie.





Flashback





Jeanne hurried towards the phone as it continued to ring, she had just came home from shopping after dropping Kelly off at school. She still couldn't believe her little girl was in second grade, it only seemed like yesterday she was holding the screaming child in her arms.



'Hello.....'Jeanne answered breathless.



'Jeanne?,.......It's Jill's......'Jeanne heart sank as she heard Kelly's teacher on the other side.



'What's wrong.....'



'Don't panic...but Kelly had a little fall while she was playing.....she's on her way to her hospital now.......'



'Hospital?.....'



'Jeanne. There was a lot of blood........i think her mouths all cut open..........'



'I'm on my way.......' Jeanne slammed down the phone as she grabbed her key.





............................................





Jeanne rushed through the halls of the hospital searching for the A& E. She had warned Kelly about climbing things, she knew something like this would happen.



'I'm looking for my daughter.....she was brought in from her school......' Jeanne breathlessly told the first nurse she saw.



'Kelly?.....'The nurse asked with a smile.



'Yes......my daughter........' The nurse gently took Jeanne's arms guiding her towards the closed door in front of them.



'Now don't get to upset about.....her face is a little banged up but it will all heel in a week or two........'Jeanne nodded at the nurse before pulling open the door to reveal her daughter laying against the bed while the doctor worked on her.



Kelly?......' Jeanne stood behind the doctor as Kelly looked up at her mother.



'Kelly can't talk right now mom.......'The doctor turned briefly before continuing with Kelly.



'She can't talk?.......'



'It's seems when she fell she bit her tongue..........And now she can't talk............but it will heel.......'The doctor smiled at Kelly who only pouted back. She looked at her mother as she sulked.



'A Kelly without talking......I never thought that was possible........' Jeanne tried to smile at her daughter but Kelly was to busy being in a bad mood to notice.





End Of Flashback.





'It was four days before she could utter a word.......' 'Jeanne smiled.



'I've never heard that story before.......'



'Well now you have......'Jeanne smiled up at Carrie as the blond cradled her hand.





Kelly's pov





'So your leaving today?......'Kelly looped her arm through Stephens as they walked back towards the parked bus.



'Yep.....the world waits us.......'



'I wish you could stay longer.....'



'No you don't.....'Carrie's mother laughed.



'Yea.......'Stephen agreed. 'I bet you want that bus to yours again........'



'Well........' Kelly tried not to smile.





........................................................





Stephen got to the bus first as he saw the note taped to the door, he could hear his wife and Kelly coming behind him as she pulled the note off.



'Jeanne's took Carrie to the hospital........' Stephen said like he couldn't believe it.



'Hospital?....what's wrong.....'Kelly pulled the note from Stephen's hand as she let her eyes scan over it quickly.



'I'll drive......'Kelly nodded as she let Stephen guide her back to the car.





................................................................





Kelly stood shaking next to her father in law as he got the information from the front desk at the hospital. The moment Kelly heard the room number she was off, searching for her wife. She didn't even know what had happened but she knew Carrie needed her at that moment. She slowed outside the room door, it was shut the blinds pulled down. She could see a soft light on inside as she opened the door gently.



'Mom?......'Jeanne was the first person Kelly saw. Her eyes quickly found her wife's who lay sleeping in the bed in front of her.



'Kelly....don't panic.....'



'Mom what happened.....'Kelly's voice cracked as she began to cry. ' What did you do to her?......'



'Nothing.....'Jeanne's voice was gentle as she let her daughter sit down in her chair. ' she hurt her hand.....but the doctors fixed her up.....'



'Why is she in bed....why is she sleeping.......' Kelly wiped the tears as she spoke.



'She's just a little tired honey......she lost a little bit of blood......but like I said she's ok........the doctor fixed her up........'



'Ok.....ok....'Kelly nodded as she took in her mothers words. Her eyes caught Carrie's bandaged hand.



'I'm going to go tell Carrie's parents she's ok.......'Jeanne quickly left the room leaving Kelly alone with her wife.



'Carrie?.....' Kelly took Carrie's good hand into her own as she tried to waken the blond.



'Kel?.....



'Yea baby it's me.......'Kelly smiled through the tears.



'Thank god......i thought your mother was holding my hand there.......'



'I know....'Kelly smiled.' what are you doing hanging out with the enemy.......'



'Getting my hand cut off?....'Carrie smiled.



'What happened?.....i was only gone an hour.......'



'I tried to open the door and my hand got cut.....i dont really know how........'



'Touching things you shouldn't have.......' Kelly joked.



'That's me........'



'Well don't do it again.....' Kelly warned. 'I don't like being scared.......'



'Sorry......'Carrie whispered.



'Your never leaving my side again.......' Kelly leaned down kissing Carrie's lips.



' Come here.....'Carrie shifted in the bed leaving a small space at her side.



'Carrie......'Kelly warned.



'Im hurt.....'Carrie pouted as she help up her hand. 'you seriously going to say no to me?.......' Kelly rolled her eyes as she climbed into the small space.



'So not fair.......'



'Whatever gets you in my arms.....'Carrie smiled.
