Chapter 13
“How’s he doing?”
Sookie looked up to see Bill standing there. “It’s been a week and he’s still in the same position. What do you think?” She noticed his hurt expression and felt guilty. “I’m sorry, that wasn’t fair. I just hate this. Eric is usually so full of life; I can’t stand to see him like this. It breaks my heart.” She wiped at her eyes when more tears fell, hoping they would have stopped by now.
Bill nodded. “You love him, I can understand that. He’ll be fine, Sookie. I’m not trying to give you false hope; I really believe he’ll pull through.”
She smiled now. “Thank you, that means a lot.”
“Dr. Compton, you’re wanted in room 402,” Amelia stated, rolling her eyes when Bill made his leave. “I hate having to call him that. So, how’s our patient?” she wondered, checking his stats to make sure everything was going well.
“No change, I just wish he would open his eyes. I’m really starting to get worried, Ames. What if he never wakes up?”
Amelia shook her head. “You can’t think like that, Sook. Have you found out anything about what happened at Valhalla?”
“No more than what everyone else knows. The place was raided and people were killed, they’re not giving out any details. They just think it was a random attack. All Pam said is that she came out of the storage room to find Eric on the floor, and Victor right beside him. They were both unconscious and bleeding, but I just know Victor started all of this. Eric is the only one who can tell us what really happened, he just needs to wake up. Look, can you stay with him for a bit? I know you’re on break now, but I just need some fresh air before I completely lose it.”
“Sure, don’t worry about it. You’ve been cooped up in this room long enough. I’ll let you know if anything changes,” Amelia explained.
Sookie gave her friend a gratified smile, and after pressing a quick kiss to Eric’s forehead, she headed out of the room, not stopping until she made it to the exit of the hospital. She leaned back against a brick wall, taking in a breath to try and calm herself. She shut her eyes, it felt like a lifetime that she stood there, opening her eyes back up to see a woman head in her direction, looking a bit anxious, but letting a friendly smile grace her lips. Sookie had never seen her before, but the lady spoke before she had a chance to.
“Are you Sookie Stackhouse?”
She nodded, not knowing what else to say, but again it looked like she didn’t have to.
“I’m Felicia Hardwick, I knew Victor Madden. I was told that he died recently, and the news said that Eric Northman was severely injured. Your name was mentioned, and I remembered Victor talking about you. There are a few things you need to know.”
Sookie was suddenly intrigued, finding herself face to face with the woman who Victor claimed to love. She remained silent, indicating that it was all right for her to speak her mind.
Felicia inhaled a deep breath before continuing. “I went to the police station once I made sure that Victor was really dead and wouldn’t come after me, but I wanted to talk to you in person. Victor was crazy, he tracked me down at my place two days before the shooting, told me that he was going to get revenge on Eric. He said something about you, the new woman in his life, and how it wasn’t fair that Eric should get to have you. He was drunk, I didn’t take anything he said seriously, and I really regret that now. Maybe if I did, I could have prevented this from happening.” She took in another breath, rambling was sometimes a nervous habit of hers, but wasn’t about to stop until she got everything off her chest. “Anyway, I told Victor to leave and that I wanted nothing to do with him. If he came near me again, I would file a restraining order. That wasn’t the first time he’s caused problems for me. I’m married now, I have a little boy, and the last thing I needed was Victor Madden messing up my life again with his sadistic obsession. He took off after that, then I heard about the shooting and didn’t know what to do. It shouldn’t have taken me this long to come clean, but I was just scared. I couldn’t put my family at risk, that’s why I needed to know if he was really gone. I’m sorry to just dump all this on you, but I wanted you to know. Whatever happened that night, I know it was all because of him. Victor’s always been a bit of a lunatic.”
Sookie took everything she said in. Victor being responsible was not a shock to her, and she couldn’t really blame the woman for not knowing what to do. She would have been the same way if put in that situation. “I appreciate you coming to me; it took a lot of courage.”
Felicia sighed in relief. “Is Eric gonna be okay? I used to hold a grudge against him for rejecting me the way he did, but now I’m glad for it. If he didn’t, I probably never would have met my husband, and I’m grateful for him every day.”
Sookie gave a small smile. “He still hasn’t woken up, but we’re being optimistic about it. Would you like to see him?”
She shook her head. “That’s fine; I should be getting home now. Thanks for being so understanding, now I know what Eric sees in you.”
Sookie watched her go, once again beyond relieved that Victor Madden was no longer in the world. Her Gran would get on her case for thinking such thoughts, but that man was a monster, and everyone would be better off without him. She was about to head back inside, when Amelia came barreling out of the doors, nearly crashing into her in the process, excitement written all over her features.
“Eric’s awake!”
With those words said, Sookie couldn’t get into the hospital fast enough.
