Playing For Keeps

39-Hospitals Are Creepy

Rowan

I haven't heard from Casey and it's making me antsy.

"Stop tapping your foot before I step on it." Fallon shoots me a glare.

Ever since Camille's article dropped - with evidence that I in fact did not say those things about Casey and that Eric did it to cause a rift between us - I have been hoping that Casey calls me and tells me we'll be okay.

That's all I want at this moment is to hear from her, even if it's just a text, letting me know she wants to be with me or at least that she'll talk to me.

"You guys need to calm down." Lennox says as he stuff powdered donut holes into his mouth, "She probably just hasn't seen it yet."

A pressure in my chest loosens at his words. He's probably right and I just need to give it some more time.

"Uh no I sent it to her and it was read over two hours ago." Fallon says and that pressure returns full force.

"Way to stress him out Fal." Lennox says and she just rolls her eyes, "What you want me to lie? It was shown as read which means she opened it at least. From what she does from there isn't up to us."

I know but I just wish we heard something from her. She's even gone completely silent on Fallon which is unlike her.

It unnerves me even more.

We sit in silence for a few more minutes before Fallon's phone rings.

"It's Callum." She says, her face scrunched in confusion before she answers it on speaker.

"Callum what's wrong?"

"Nothing I don't think but uh-" Callum sounds stressed which is crazy because Callum is as calm and collected as they come unless it's him defending his sisters.

"There was an accident but Case is fine." The makes a shiver run down my spine and my eyes meet Fallon's before she looks back down at the phone.

"What happened? What accident?"

Callum sighs, "She been off ever since she's come home. We just thought it was caused by everything that was going on but then mom found her passed out on her bedroom floor and we couldn't get her to wake up."

That's all I need to hear before I am up and looking for my keys.

"Is she at the hospital?" Fallon asks, standing as well.

"Yeah they're doing some tests now but she's awake." He tells her and the relief that's felt around the room is huge.

"Rowan is with me and we'll be there as soon as we can." She tells him and he promises to give us any updates before the two of them hang up.

The three of us pile into Fallon's car and we drive the hour drive to the hospital Casey is located at.

The whole drive I sit there and pray to whoever is listening that she's alright. That nothing is wrong.

Please let there be nothing wrong with her.

Before Fallon can even park completely I am hoping out of the car and jogging towards the hospital.

Towards Casey.

"Hey wait for me." Lennox calls out but I don't turn around.

"Stop jumping out of my moving car you idiots." Fallon calls out.

I get inside and head straight for the front desk.

"I'm looking for Casey Meadow's room." I say and the dark haired woman looks up at me.
