The First Time

Chapter 17- First Night

We all sat around the bed, talking about Brooke, their trip, and life, and what not. Around 10 o'clock I realized I had school the next day.

"Hey do you guys plan on leaving soon?"

"Yeah, maybe soon. Why?" Mr. Thomas asked.

"I was wondering if you could sit a little longer so that I could run home and grab a few things."

"Yeah, of course. We will wait for you."

"Thank you so much!"

I walked out of the room and when I was sure they couldn't see me, I started running down the hall. I ran for the elevator and once down darted for my car. I went home ad immediately was questioned when I got in.

"Umm, where were you?" Mom asked demanding my.

"I was at the hospital, Brooke's in a coma!" I said out of breath and started to tear from having talk about it.

"Oh, I'm so sorry." She said sorrowfully.

"Is it alright if I spend the night there?"

"Yeah, go ahead."

"Thanks!"

I ran upstairs grabbed clothes for tonight, tomorrow, and my book bag. I took the shirt that was laying on my floor, the one that Brooke wore last night to bed. I'll wear it tonight. I ran down stairs, trying to get back as fast as I can.

"Love you guys bye!"

"Love ya too." My family said in sync.

I jumped in the car and hurried for the hospital. I got in the elevator jabbed at the buttons again, and calmly walked down the hall to her room.

"Hey I'm back."

"Good, good. We are gonna leave, we'll be back tomorrow though." Her mom smiled at me.

"Okay, I'm gonna leave around 730 tomorrow. Since school starts at 8."

"Okay, see you then, Troy." She smiled and they walked out.

I walked over to the couch on the side of the room next to her bed. I put my pajamas on and laid there. Looking at her. She had a blank expression. Nothing really changing. I just wanted to see her happy, and now, I can't.

After a little while of tossing and turning on the uncomfortable couch, I decided to go sit next to Brooke and hold her hand. The doctor happened to walk in as soon as I sat down in the chair.

"Hello, I'm just gonna take a little bit more blood from Ms. Brooke." He said while pushing a large cart into the room.

"Oh okay." I said in reply.

He reached over and took some blood out of the arm that wasn't broken. I watched him fill about 3 tubes and started to finish up. As he was walking out he spoke to me.

"Do you plan on spending the night?"

"Yes, sir. I do."

"Visiting hours are only until 11." He said like I need to leave.

"Sir, please. I love her. Just let me stay." Tears started swelling in my eyes. He waited a moment before answering.

"Okay, fine. I understand how you feel. I would want to stay too, I guess." He said with a smile as walked out.

I held Brooke's hand again and started playing with it like we always do... Did.

I realized it was midnight and I need to sleep. I was not comfy on that couch and this chair isn't a step up.

I looked at the small gap beside her and the edge of the bed and managed to fit my self in it quite comfortably. I wrapped my arms around her and drifted to sleep.

Did this surprise anyone? Like the whole accident thing? Should I do a fast forward through the hospital? Or play it out? Should she die? Should Troy give up on her? Should she not remember him? Let me know below. 10 likes and 10 comments for a new chapter!
