Half and Half

4 (Part two)

Andrae flushed, when his phone rang, ''Sorry, have to take this.''

I followed him, leaning against the hallway wall.

''Mom, are you okay?'' Andrae asked, worry laced in his words. I watched him intently, eyebrows furrowed.

I honestly couldn't help but think of how adorable he looked- not the time Sierra!

''Mom, Mom- calm down. Its okay, you want me to come now?''

I frowned, whats going on?

''Okay, bye mom, see you soon.'' Andrae put his phone away, and looked at me, his eyes watered.

''Whats wrong?'' I asked gently.

''My dads in the hopsital, he was at a friends, and then... my mom says his friends took him to the hospital..''

I hugged him, ''I'm sure he'll be fine. Go ahead, I'll tell everyone else. Take care.'' I didn't want to let go, because I knew it was a rare chance to hug Andrae, but I pulled away anyway.

''Th-thanks man.'' He said, frowning. He scratched his neck, and left without another word. I let out a sigh, running a hand through my short hair.

I walked back into the dining room.

''Where'd Andrae go?'' Chanelle asked. Of course she would be the first one to notice.

Everyone looked at me curiously, ''Yeah, how come he just left?'' Charlie asked.

I sighed, sitting back down, ''His dad's in the hospital, I told him to go. He's probably scared shitless, I mean, I'm pretty sure he thinks its Andrea all over again.''

The room went quiet, and nobody even yelled at me for my use of language.

Andrae's POV

'''Whats wrong?'' D.J asked me.

''My dads in the hopsital, he was at a friends, and then... my mom says his friends took him to the hospital..'' I told him, on the verge of crying. What if.. He leaves like Andrea?

D.J hugged me, and I closed my eyes. His arms wrapped around my torso, leaving it on fire, when he pulled away. What the fuck was that.. that feeling?

''I'm sure he'll be fine. Go ahead, I'll tell everyone else. Take care.'' He assured me.

There was a lump in my throat, ''Th-thanks man.'' I forced out. I quickly left, not looking back. My body felt like it was on fire, from that simple gesture.

''Andrae!'' My mom called, sitting on the plastic chairs outside the room. She was holding Alex, who was asleep. I let out a sigh, rushing towards them.

I took the both of them into a hug, and pulled away. I sat down beside her, looking at her.

Depressed, with baggy eyes, her hair was in a messy bun. Alex was asleep in her lap, and she looked so much like Andrea, when we were kids, it almost hurt to look at her.

Alex stirred, and woke up, her big brown eyes looking up at me. ''Andy?'' She called out.

I smiled, pulling her onto my lap. ''How are you feeling?'' Alex was only one, and her first word, was Andy, since she can't quite say Andrae.

She simply smiled back. I gave her my phone to play with, and soon the sounds of 'Crossy Road' were heard.

I ran a hand through my hair, ''How is he?''

''I don't, I don't know. I just got here ten minutes ago. They just sent him into the room, so now they're giving him a check up.'' She croaked.

I bit my lip. ''Probably got dehydrated again, or something small like that.''

She tried to agree with me, by smiling back, but failed miserably. ''Yes, I'm sure he'll be fine.'' She said. Although it sounded as if she was trying to convince herself, more than replying to me.

I looked over at Alex, she had a concentrated look on her face. I smiled.

That same look Andrea wore in Algebra class.
