Chapter 17

Ratliff's POV

We arrived at the hospital 20 minutes later. We all rush inside to the front desk. The lady looks weirdly at us, as we stand panting in front of her.

Lady: How may I help you?

Stormie: We're here to see Ross Lynch.

The lady types something into her computer. After 2 minutes she looks at us again.

Lady: You can't see him now. He's still in surgery.

Rocky: And how much longer will it take?

Lady: That's hard to say. He's been in a pretty bad accident.

Rocky: Really? You don't say? What was your first clue?

Mark: Rocky! No sarcasm. Be nice. Sorry, we're just all very worried about our son and brother.

Lady: It's okay. I can understand it. My daughter is also at home right now, crying her eyes out. She saw it on the news and immediately called me. She really loves your band.

We all show sad smiles, but they immediately disappear again when we realize why we're here.

Rydel: Can you please just tell us when he's out of surgery?

Lady: Of course. Till then, please feel free to take a seat in the waiting area.

We all go towards the waiting area and sit down. Stormie is crying into Mark's chest, while he has an arm around her shoulders. His tears drop into his wife's blond hair. Rydel leans her head against my arm and I can hear quiet sobs coming from her. I pull her into my lap and embrace her into a warm and comforting hug. After some minutes my shirt gets wet and my cheeks are also tear stained. Rocky and Ryland try to suppress the tears, but they find a way down their cheeks.

Riker's POV

We're on our way to the hospital right now. I'm driving the slowest I've ever driven. I'm just too scared. I don't want to get into another car accident. My gaze never leaves the road, but I can catch a shot glance towards Rebecca. She has her head leaned against the cold window. Rain drops are dropping down on the glass and so are the tears from Rebecca. I don't even have to look at Ruby and Nathan. We don't have music on, so I can hear every single sound here in the car and right now, all I hear are sobs.

Rebecca's POV

I lean against the window watching as the world drifts past me. I kinda feel like one half of me is missing. This half is laying in the hospital now because of a drunk ghost rider. My tears drip onto my arm and slowly roll down onto the ground. I guess this is what Ross felt like, when I left him, without a logical explanation. But, this is the past and the present is now the important. And most important of all of that is that Ross is gonna come out of this hospital as soon as possible.
