Chapter Twelve: Hospital Memories
{Ryan’s POV}
The party was kinda boring without Adira, she always brought out the fun in me. But I was just surrounded by drunks and stoners. My phone starts buzzing and I see it’s an unknown number. I answer it to hear a car rumbling in the background and a man gasping for air. “Ryan! Get to the hospital quick!” I freeze up “What?! Who is this?!” The phone goes on mute then I can hear a feminnine voice. “Hurry.” The man speaks again “Ryan… It’s Eric! Just get to the hospital on Kempsville quick!” I run to my car dodging flying ping pong balls, booze bottles, and lit blunts on the floor. While driving to the hospital I call Audrey. She picks up also hearing my car reved up. “Hey how’s the party?” I sigh “Meet me at the hospital.” There is a small silent pause. “Why?” She says her voice getting shaky. ‘I don’t know… Eric told me…” I hear the door close and the call ends.
My heart is racing and my hands get sweaty. My mind runs with the worst thoughts possible. I pull into the Emergency section and see Eric standing outside the entrance. I leap out of the car and I can see he’s been crying. “What happened?” He puffs out smoke from the side of his mouth and looks down at his blood stained shoe. My eyes grow wide and he looks back up at me. “Mason broke her knee and cracked her rib… She’s probably concussed…” I could feel tears filling my eyes. ‘What room is she in?” “3024…” I walk inside the hospital and walked down the corridor. I stumble across her room and peak inside…
She looks at me. Her cheek is red with a blue ice pack held up to it. Her stomach is covered with white bandages, and her knee is in a small cast to keep it from bending. “H-hey Ryan…” She attempts to sit up but fails and slumps back over. “Hey, are you okay?” She nods I walk in slowly now noticing the at least 6 different things she hooked up to. A bag with blood, water in an IV tube, some weird yellow liquid. I can’t help but stare at a huge bag of morphine. “I had surgery when I moved here…” she coughs harshly and the bandage around her torso gets visibly more red in one spot. “Geez… I’m so sorry” She looks up at me with red eyes “For… What?” Tears build up in my eyes and I sit next to the bed. “For breaking my promise..”
I remember the day I made that promise...
I’m in a small classroom and a smaller Adira is laying on the ground the corner a larger boy is standing in front of her calling her names. I ball up my fists and the moment her turns around I punch him in the stomach and he falls to the floor and grunts in pain. I walk up to Adira and hold out my hand. “Need some help?” She nods and I lifted her up from the ground. “You didn’t have to do that you know…” I look at her and smile “That’s what best friends are for... “ She giggles and slowly loses her smile. “I promise I will always protect you, Adira!”
“We both broke our promises, Ryan.” she put her hand on top of mine then smiled. ‘I guess we did’ I say softly.
Sorry this one took so long...
