Old Lady
Chapter 20
*Juliet Speaking Now*
'I have to take a walk.' I said as I sat up after fainting.
'I understand. Do you want me to come with you?' Niall asked.
'I think it's best that I go on my own.' I said. Niall nodded and I got up. I put on my jacket and left the house. I walked down the road and turned the corner. I saw a gaggle of people surrounding something. I went up to it.
'What's going on?' I asked.
'This old lady just collapsed in the street. Even though she's not that old, only 59.' a guy said.
'Should I take her to the hospital? My car's just around the corner.' I asked.
'No the paramedics are here. You can go with her in the ambulance if you want? She has no family.' the same guy said.
'Okay sure.' I said.
'Who's coming with this woman in the ambulance?' a paramedic asked. I put up my hand. I was directed to the ambulance and sat down in it.
'Do we know anything about her?' I asked.
'Divorced 59 year-old. Husband died in 2012. Had two daughters but we have no idea where they are. Lives in an old people's home because she has breast cancer.' a woman paramedic said to me.
'That's a sad life.' I said.
'She's also tried to kill herself multiple times but was always stopped.' the woman added. I looked down at the old lady. She had short brown hair that surrounded her still thin face. She was wearing a pair of black trousers and a flowery blouse. I looked down at her for a long time.
Suddenly her eyes started to flutter open. She groaned and looked right at me.
'Hi, my name is Juliet. What's yours?' I asked. She grunted in response.
'She might not be able to speak for a couple of hours.' the paramedic said. I nodded.
*** (2 hours later)
The woman lay in her bed, on her back, in the hospital. She was snoring and smiling. I just sat there looking at her. Her eyes darted open startling me.
'Morning dear.' She said.
'You can speak.' I said.
'I noticed.' She said laughing.
'What's your name?' I asked.
'Miss Warren.' She said.
'First name?' I asked.
'I'll tell you that when you tell me about yourself.' She said.
'Well I'm Juliet Georgia Horan formerly known as Calder. I had a sister called Eleanor but she died. I have 2 daughters and 1 son and am married to the Irish Heartthrob in the band One Direction. I'm 35 years old and am going to be 36 on October 28th. Is that enough?' I asked.
'Juliet...' She whispered.
'What, Miss Warren?' I asked.
'Nothing.'
'It's your turn to tell me about yourself.'
'Okay, my name is Hailey Joan Warren. I am 59 year-old and my birthday is May 14th. I was married to a guy called John Calder but that didn't really work out. Basically we were coming back from this dinner we had with our friends. John was super drunk and thought it would be funny if we got a hooker. So he did. They drove off leaving me to stay at the friends house. They ended up crashing and died. Turns out the hooker had stolen all of my ID so they thought she was me. So when they told my daughters that we had died actually only John had died. I had two daughters called Eleanor and Juliet.' She smiled at me.
'Mum?' I asked.
'Surprise sweetheart.'
