THE road trip

Chapter 8

I wake up after what it feels like 10 days. I'm drowsy with the smell of weed in the back of my nose. It's tasty, I think. I open my eyes the slightest bit. I notice a body standing above me through my blurry sight. I'm scared they're gonna rape me but then I open my eyes completely and the blurriness faded away.

I'm in a hospital room. The beige walls and the tile floor. The white curtains and bedspreads. I wince at the sight of a bloody handprint on the wall. My stomach starts to growl and as if on cue, a nurse comes in with my meal.

After I finished, my mom bolted through the door. She smiled at me and opened her arms to give me a hug when I noticed bae behind her. IT WAS KEVIN! KEVIN WAS ACTUALLY HERE! I almost died on the spot. I open up my arms to give Kevin a hug. My mom headed toward me to give me a hug but I wanted to hug Kevin. My mom got dissed and I gave Kevin a squeeze.

I felt better instantly because of that beautiful hug. I felt Kevin's love rushing through me.

I heard my mom crying in the background but I just ignored it.

"Kevin!" I say with a raspy voice. "I wanted to make sure you were okay." He said as he started stroking my cheek bone. I smile and grasp his hand and kiss it. "Thank you." I say.

I had finally got released that next week. Turns out, I had a minor thing of liver cancer. It's gone now but I was in there for a little while. Anyways, I was finally home.

I'm still really depressed though. My mom said that we can't go finish our road trip until I got better. I thought I was better! I just got out of the hospital! I don't know man, but I'm gonna go cry.

After about eight years- no months- no days- no hours of crying, my mom decided that we can resume our road trip! I am so excited!

Since we missed out on our 3 destinations we were gonna go to, we headed to Hawaii.
