The boy around the block

Chapter 20

Brook's POV

"Brook come here please" Rhett yells from his room. I groaned, while getting up from my bed. I walked out my door and down the hall to Rhett's.

I walked into his room and sat down on his bed.

"Get comfty why don't yah" Rhett said sarcastically.

"Oh I will! Why do you want me?" I said looking at him.

"I wanted to apologize for the way I acted yesterday" He said in a apologetic way.

"It's ok, Rhett" I said giving him a reassuring smile.

"No it's not. I have everything of Dads and you only have that ring. I know it was selfish of me to try and take that from you" Rhett said coming up to me and giving me a bear hug.

"I love you Rhett but I can't breathe" I said. He let go and I let out a big breathe.

We talked for a little bit and it was the best conversation I ever had with him. After an hour I went back into my room. I plopped right onto my bed and checked my phone.

I had a message from Hayes.

From: HayiesBoo ❤️😍😘
Hey babe! Want to come over?

To: HayiesBoo ❤️😍😘
Of course. I'll be there in a few minutes!❤️

I walked into my closet and got my outfit out. I pulled out a teal PINK sweatshirt and denim skinny jeans with rips in them. I spilled on my teal vans and walked out my room (outfit in pic above)

I grabbed my house keys and my phone and walked out. I made it to Hayes' in 3 minutes. I stepped onto the porch and knocked.

A smiling Hayes answered the door.

"Hey. I've missed you" Hayes says whil giving me a kiss on the cheek. I kiss him back and we both walk inside. We walked to the living room and sat down.

"Where's your Family?" I asked looking around for them.

"My mom and Johnny are at work, Skylynn is at our aunts, and Nash is with Matt. " Hayes said, answering my question.

I nod my head and sit back down. He pulled me closer to him and I couldn't help but to blush.

"Wanna have a lazy day?"He asked me while putting on Netflix.

"Sure!" I say. We laid down on the couch and put on a Adam Sandler movie.

Half way through the movie I started to doze off. I'm guessing Hayes noticed, because I pulled to blanket over us and cuddled up next to me.

He turned off Netflix and laid back down. He was playing with my hair, which helped me to doze off even more. Just as I was about to go to sleep, my phone ranged.

"Uggghhhh" I said getting up to answer my phone.

"Hello?"

"Brook Johnson?"

"Speaking"

"We have Rhett in the hospital. He was at his basketball practice and fell and hit his head in the bleachers. He is on a coma though. "

"Okay. I'm on my way"

I slip on my vans and unplugged my phone from the charger.

"What was that about??" Hayes asked getting up from the couch. By his facial expressions, he was very confused.

"Rhett was at basketball practice and fell and hit his head on the bleachers. He's in a coma. " I explained to Hayes.

He slipped on his shoes and we ran to the hospital. Since we live in a small town, everything is a walking distance.

We got to the hospital and I ran straight to the front desk.

"Rhett Johnson?" I kinda yelled at the Lady.

"He can't take visitors right now but you may have a seat in the waiting room. And please, No yelling. " She said, with a snarky attitude.

This bitch is asking to get mother fucking slapped!!

"Listen. My younger brother is in a coma, and your telling me to calm myself? If that was your brother, or any family member, you know you would be doing the same thing that I'm going right now. So please, try saying what you said the me early, but drop the fucking snarky attitude. "

She looked at me in disbelief. Like she would never expect to hear something like that come out of my mouth. Well people surprise you!

We walk to the waiting room and sit down. I looked around and saw a very familiar face.

"Bethany?" I asked. She turned around and looked at me. Yep, That's definitely her.

"Brook!!" She said. She got up and gave me a hug.

Bethany is Rhett's best friend. She was on vacation the whole summer so I haven't seen her since school.

"Do you know when we can see him?" I asked Bethany. She explained to me that it would be probably an hour, but that's what the lady from the front desk said.

I nodded and sat down. I just started thinking about life. I know it's weird, my younger brother is in a coma and all I can think about is my life. But it's not like that. I don't know, It's just that life is scary. I mean, just take the situation with Rhett for example. He was just at basketball practice and now he is in the hospital!! Life is fucking messed up
