Cuckoo {Adam Lambert} ✔️

Chapter 37

"Okay class, settle down now. I know today is a Friday and school ends next week but that doesn't mean the party starts right now. Let's just take the final exam and once I get all of them turned in, I'll let y'all chat for a while," my teacher requests with her country accent coming through. Sometimes it's really thick but in other times you wouldn't even know she had an accent.

She hands me test and I give her a quiet thank you as she walks away.

"Okay kids, you have about 45 minutes to complete the exam. I'll sign you a pass if you need to stay after to complete it." She walks back behind her desk and sits down at the
computer.

I write my name on it and glance at the first question when someone walks through the classroom doorway.

"Mrs. Woodruff, I have a pass for Skyler Nicole," the lady says swiftly. That's odd, they normally have student helpers give out the passes.

"They just started an exam. Can she wait until it's done?"

"No ma'am. This is a pass out of school. She is leaving." The lady hands me the pass and I look at it. The card states "SIGNING OUT" in bold lettering. At the bottom there is a Lambert signature but it doesn't look like Adam's. Maybe an office worker wrote it.

I shrug it off as I pack up my stuff.

Mrs. Woodruff stops me before I leave.
"Did you know that you were leaving?" I shake my head. "Well you'll have to make up the exam on Monday after school."

"Okay, thank you." I leave the class and head to my locker down the hall. I throw everything I don't need in it and walk down to the office.

Why is Adam taking me out of school today? He knows I have a lot of tests and stuff today. We had this conversation in the car before im he dropped me off.

I enter the office and I don't see Adam but I find a familiar face.

"Hello Mrs.Lambert." This is the first time I met Adam's mother. I really hope it won't be awkward.

"Hello Skyler, do you have everything you need?" She asks kindly.

"Yep, I'm all good."

"You can call me Leila if you'd like." She states as we walk through the school's doors.

"Okay. So, Leila, where is Adam?"

"That's why I picked you up. He's in the hospital."

My world stopped. My breathing quit and my heart stopped beating. He's in the hospital...

"Wh-what?! Why is he in the hospital?! Is he okay?!" I ask frantically.

"He's okay. He got into a car accident but he is stable and will survive."

He's alive. Relief washes over me but I'm still worried.

"The doctors said that it will take him a while to recover. He broke his ankle, fractured his tibia (shin) in 2 places and he has a concussion. He is in a coma from the traumatic incident also."

The relief fades and stress takes it's place.

"H-How long will he be in the coma?"

"We don't know," she says as she opens her car door. I take a seat on the passenger side.

A lump builds in my throat from imagining him injured. I visualize the crash happening in my head. I almost let a tear go but then I remember that he is alive. He is safe and sound.

"So Skyler, how was school today?"

"It was alright. If you don't mind me asking... How do you know my name and what school I go to?" I ask, trying to pull mind from the vision.
