Kay had a few emails from business and updated her dad on everything, emptied the camera, posted pictures on twitter and face book to keep other family and friends up to date.
A few weeks into staying at granny and they had a storm when granny was coming back from town she was walking up the steep steps all of a sudden there was this almighty big gust of wind it knocked granny back down the steps followed by lightning, Kay ran down the steps the quickest she could fighting against the wind to help granny she was having a heart attack as well Kay called the ambulance and tried to keep the wind off her until the ambulance came she went to the hospital with her she never left her side. She couldn’t leave her. Kay had fallen asleep next to granny with her head in her arms, she woke to granny’s cool hands on her arm she had been there all night waiting for her to wake Kay was so scared. Her eyes were very heavy and sore.
“Your awake how r you feeling”
“I’m tired but I’m ok”
Kay “the hospital have phoned eddy they should be here soon I think, ill go before they get here you don’t want me interfering in family business. The girls will be picking me up in a bit.”
“Thank you - if you weren’t there I wouldn’t know what I would have done without you, you saved my life.”
Kay met the girls outside and went straight to granny’s she crawled into bed she was so tired.
Two years ago Kay’s nana was brutally murdered she got beat to death by some drunken thug to this day Kay has never dealt with it she refuse to if she did dealt with it, it would take over her and that scares her. Kay’s nana was her whole world. Her nana was the one who got her playing the piano when she was a child they always played it together. She miss’s her and granny reminds her of her nana. After Kay’s nana’s funeral she has never played since then she cried herself to sleep that night thinking about her nana.
Kay woke the next morning she had slept all day and all night, the smell of a fried breakfast was roaming in the air she was so hungry; Kay’s a vegetarian she hopes the girls told them? Everyone was round the table even granny she was home; they had placed an empty chair in between will and granny.
“Any juice spare” Kay asked quietly
“Give the girl some breakfast she looks awful” chirps in eddy
“Should you be home granny” Kay asked confused
“They said coz I was helped very quickly the heart attack was caught early I could go home they gave me a heart monitor to keep things in check so don’t worry I go for regular check ups now so I’m allowed home.” she beams
Breakfast was noisy with laughter and everyone was talking, cracking jokes, telling old stories. The girls talked about why they were travelling, during the course of breakfast will kept touching Kay’s hand trying to hold it, it felt nice they exchanged secret smiles it felt like every time they touched hands there was a electricity between them. Eddy with a face full of bacon raised his hands emptied his mouth then addressed the whole table.
“I just want to say thank you to Kay you got granny to the hospital and stayed with her all night you thought we didn’t know but the nurse told us how you wouldn’t leave her side.” said eddy very happily
Threw teary eyes they all raised there coffee, tea and juice cups and together everyone said 'TO KAY' Kay also raise her glass then said 'TO FAMILY'.
Granny asked them all if they could go to church with her, the girls have never been to church before. For granny they went and watched her play the piano threw the whole service, will had put his arm around Kay, Polly had joined them in the church she was a lot like peace.
Will had told Kay about every song granny played how she wrote them all herself then how she loves playing them you could see it in her face she loves playing. When she was playing she looked like Kay’s nana.
After service all of them went back to Ryan’s house with Polly leading the way with a spring in her step and a secret smile playing on her lips, she wanted to talk about the wedding with all the girls she said she wants some 'girly input and advice' her exact words were
“Well I can’t talk about my wedding dress with this bunch of grease monkeys can I?” says Polly with a little wink
Kay loved her straight away so did Ryan he told them about how they met which is so sweet, Polly had lived in the next village and was visiting some of her friends and her car broke down, Ryan took an immediate love to her.
