SEE YOU AGAIN

-IX-

Maddy could not breathe. This was the second time she was in the hospital in the past year with someone that she cared about and she was ill with worry. She could not wrap her head around what happened tonight and couldn't stop requesting an update on Travis every hour. It was every 30 minutes but they started to get annoyed with her. 

Maybe he was allergic to something?

An older woman rushes into the hospital, looking about in her 40s and no older.

 "Where is my baby? Where is Travis?" she shouts making her way to the check-in desk. Maddy's eyes widen, this must be Travis' mom. But there's no way because he and his mother were not on good terms. Right?

"Ma'am I'll go check if his doctor is out of surgery yet" Maddy hears the front desk lady trying to calm the mystery woman. 

"Please have a seat until I get back, there is someone else who is waiting for news on your son" His mother sighs, the nurse points over to Maddy and she quickly looks away. She could not figure out why the hell she was nervous? She isn't supposed to like the woman.

Out of the corner of her eye, she sees his mother sit down quietly next to her taking another deep sight.

"So you the one who did this to my son?" Maddy's jaw dropped. She wants to take it low then she can take it to hell.

"Are you the bitch who kicked her son out when he was in high school?" Maddy smiles at her, his mother gasps. "I would never hurt your son he's been nothing but amazing to me"

His mom clears her throat "I never knew my son was into Mexican girls, are you his girlfriend? You have quite a mouth on you"

"You just accused me of hurting your son naturally I am going to be less than appropriate when it comes to that when you don't even fucking know me" Maddy scoffs.

"Listen here you heff-" his mother was cut off by the doctor rushing over to us with a nurse by his side.

"Family of Travis Flenory?" Both Maddy and Travis' mom shoot up swiftly out of their seats.

"I'm Lucille, his family yes. Please tell me is my son okay?" She says sounding tired.

"Miss Lucille, my name is Dr. Kane and I worked on Travis. The good news is your son is going to be fine, looks like he had digested some poison. We had to perform blood tests and we had used activated charcoal to bind to the poison and stop it from absorbing into his blood. We then went ahead and slowly yet carefully removed the poison from his system" Lucille turns to Maddy.

"You bitch! If I find out you poisoned my son I will hunt you down-" Dr. Kane clears his throat

"Uh- we will need to keep him overnight and just figure out if this act was deliberate or if he was being targeted. With that, we may need to get the police involved" Lucille and Maddy nod. "Since it's only you two, you may both come to visit with him. Follow me"

--

There was nothing but silence for the past 5 minutes since Maddy and Lucille had appeared in Travis' hospital room. Dr. Kane explained to them he may feel a smidge drowsy after the surgery, meaning it is completely normal for him to still be asleep. Maddy had pulled up a chair next to his hospital bed and held his hand, she had never seen him this still before. She hoped to never have to see him like this ever again.

"I didn't want to kick Travis out" Lucille broke the loud silence between the two, "His father demanded I do it and my son left me no choice with the behavior he was exhibiting"

Maddy brought her lips to a purse then "He was just a kid though, it just isn't fair"

Lucille nods "I understand that and every day I feel terrible, but Travis is risking not only his own life but his family by selling those drugs. He was also leading a bad example for his siblings, got his brother involved in the game"

Maddy nodded, she couldn't argue with that. His mother just did what she felt was best to protect her family. 

"Ma?" Lucille and Maddy's heads pop up to look at a perplexed Travis.

Lucille comes over to Travis' side "Hi baby, how you feeling?"

Travis frowns "What are you doing here?" Lucille sighs for the 50th time tonight.

"Baby, they called me I'm your emergency contact" He groans.

"You didn't have to come Ma, thought you and pops didn't want anything to do with me?"

Maddy starts to feel inappropriate, which she rarely ever does, and gets up from her "I'll come back later, Travis"

"Nah stay" he grabs her hand, his face softening when he looks up at her.

She shakes her head "It's okay, your staying the night here so I should probably get us some clothes. What's your address?" Maddy grabs his keys from the plastic bag with his belongings.

"Damn, you haven't even been to my house yet and you already trying to see my bed" Travis smirks. Maddy rolls her eyes, even at a time like this he never fails to be goofy.  "Give me your phone real quick, I'll pin my place" 

After getting his address from him, Maddy heads out to give him and Lucille space.

Lucille's expression gets serious "We have much to discuss"
