Zoey’s POV
Once I got home I searched the house for Drew, he wasn’t there. I frowned when I saw my mum and dad sitting on the sofa happily watching the telly. How could they possibly be happy when their own fucking son is in the hospital? I stood in front of the telly awaiting answers, they looked right through me. I laughed quietly, how can someone make such an effort not to notice you?
“How’s Drew?” I asked them.
They ignored me looking at each other, I placed my hands on my hips. I wasn’t moving until they told me how my brother is.
“I said how is Drew?” I said loudly.
My dad looked up at me and nodded his head towards the kitchen. I sighed walking away from the TV, I waited for him in the kitchen.
“Can you at least try and act like our dad for 5 seconds?” I said agitated.
“There’s no fucking need for that tone with me. Do you want to know how his or what?” he said coldly.
I nodded “How is he?” I asked more calmly.
“He’s okay, they said he had a mini stroke in the night.”
“A stroke, what he’s only 10?” I questioned, confusion filled my tone.
“I know it was very rare, but he is stable. They think he might be paralyzed from the waist down.”
Tears ran down my cheeks in a choice of their own. I shook my head vigorously, Drew doesn’t deserve this.
“Why is no one with him?!” I yelled out of frustration.
“Your mum was tired so she came home, and I hate hospitals” he shrugged.
“He’s your fucking son, you asshole” I shrieked.
He punched me hard in my stomach. I cried out as a throbbing pain appeared in my stomach.
“Don’t you dare talk to me like that” his spit landing on my face.
“I don’t understand, you just found out your son is going to be possibly paralyzed and you do nothing, why?” I cried.
“I don’t know what to say.”
“Of course you don’t, you never do” I rolled my eyes.
He growled hitting me again, I let out a shriek as I fell to the floor. The pain was excruciating, I held my stomach as I ran up the stairs. I lay on my bed crying into my pillow, I had to put Drew’s needs before my own. I grabbed my phone shoving it into my pocket and ran out of the front door. I walked all the way to the hospital, it took longer than necessary due to the sharp pain taking over my stomach. I didn’t dare to look at the bruising he made, the last bruise still hasn’t disappeared. I finally got to the hospital and waited at the reception desk for someone to assist me.
“Hello ma’am how may we help you?” A man asked me.
“My brother Drew Johnson was admitted here this morning, I would like to see him” I said kindly.
Whether it was because of how desperate I looked or he really did care about me seeing him. “We normally don’t allow visitors at this time, but come with me. He led me to the children’s ward, I looked at all the sick children laying in their beds. Their parents surrounding them, comforting them. I only wished that for Drew, he needed them. I found him in the corner of the room, sleeping peacefully. I went and sat beside him, taking hold of his hand. I looked down at my phone.
Have you heard anything about Drew? – Mysteryboy.
I’m with him now actually – Girlanon.
How is he? Where are your parents? – Mysterboy.
At home, I fucking hate them Harry! And he’s not doing too well, my dad told me he has a chance of being paralyzed from the waist down – Girlanon.
Oh my fuck! Why the fuck aren’t your parents there!? Are you alright? – Mysterboy.
Because they have better things to do, and I’m okay I suppose - Girlanon.
What happened when you spoke to them, did your mum go off on one? – Mysteryboy.
No, my dad actually – Girlanon.
What did he do? – Mysteryboy.
Nothing don’t worry about it – Girlanon.
Since when have you ever lied to me aye? – Mysteryboy
I don’t want you to worry about me: ( - Girlanon.
I always worry about you Zoe, what happened? – Mysteryboy
He hit me in the stomach, but its fine I promise – Girlanon.
I can’t stand the way they treat you, it isn’t right! – Mysteryboy.
I know, but everything will e okay someday I have hope – Girlanon.
Me too, when we meet I will take you away somewhere I promise – Mysteryboy.
I closed my eyes imagining me and him on a beach somewhere far away.
I’d like that very much – Girlanon.
Try and get some sleep, don’t stay up all night ok? – Mysteryboy.
Yeah, night – Girlanon.
Night my Zoe - Mysteryboy.
I closed my eyes and leant my head on Drew’s bed. I didn’t let go of his hand throughout the night. I wasn’t sure if I was comforting him or he was comforting me.
