All because I tripped // dnf

Chapter 6: Trip to the hospital

Wilbur pov:

"George!" I heard Niki scream. I Turned around to find my brother knocked out on the ground. Some employees ran over and called an ambulance before asking us what had happened.

I went over to him to check if he had any serious injuries while Niki answered questions about what had happened. I checked his pulse and sighed in relief because he had no serious injuries other than bruises.

The ambulance arrived and some medics put George on a stretcher and rolled him away. I rode in the ambulance with him and had Niki drive the car to the hospital. "Please wake up George.." I muttered to myself.

We arrived at the hospital and they checked him out. "He seems to be alright, but he may have a slight concussion. We'll have to ask him when he wakes up how he's feeling" A nurse informed us.

Niki walked through the door with a worried look on her face. "How is he?" "They said that he might have a slight concussion but they need to ask him some questions when he wakes up"

"I really hope he'll be ok.." It fell silent after that. They sat there for a while until someone came in and informed that visiting hours were over so anybody who wasn't family had to leave.

"I'll see you tomorrow Will, I'll keep my phone on if you want to text me. Please try and get some rest though" "Ok. Thank you Niki" They said goodbye and she was led out of the hospital.

I sat there for a while before pulling out my phone and texting Niki to see if she had gotten home safely.

Niki :>

Hey did you get home alright?

Yeah I did thanks.
How are you holding up?

I'm doing ok ig. I'm just
really worried for him.

Is there anything i can do?

over to work if you want?

Yeah that would actually be great.
Thank you so much Niki.

Yeah of course Will! I'm
always here for you :]

I put down my phone and sat there hoping my brother would wake up. "Please George. Please be ok" I say out loud hoping he can somehow hear my pleas.

I woke up to a bright light and birds chirping. "Wha- where am I?" I asked out loud before realizing where I was and why I was there.

I saw Niki standing in the doorway of the room with a smile on her face. "Morning sleepy head I brought you your guitar" I sat there for a second still waking up my half asleep brain before she giggled and asked me if I was going to take the guitar.

"Uh- yeah sorry i'm still waking up" I apologized as i got up and took the guitar from her hands. "Thanks" I say and gave her a hug. "You're welcome" She says hugging back. "Did you get any sleep last night?" She asked.

"Surprisingly yes- I fell asleep sometime around nine or ten and i slept like a rock until you woke me up by opening the door" "That's good. And by the way, I brought you breakfast because i figured you probably hadn't eaten anything" She handed me a paper plate with pancakes on it.

I thanked her and quickly ate them because i hadn't eaten since yesterday at mcdonalds. We sat there and talked for a while before she stood up and said "Sorry Will but I should be heading to work now. Call me if George wakes up" "Ok bye Niki. Thanks again for bringing my guitar" And with that, she left.

I sat there processing our conversation for a bit, then I grabbed my guitar off the seat next to me and started strumming. I played a couple of my favorite songs and hummed along to them. I heard the handle click and the door open so I abruptly stopped.

"Hi uh, I didn't mean to interrupt you but I need to check up on-" She glanced over to the name tag at the end of the bed "George Davidson. And you must be Wilbur his brother?" "YeAh that's me" I cringed at my embarrassing voice crack.

"Ah ok. I'm Sally" She introduced herself and started checking on George. "What were you playing there before I came in?" She kindly asked. "Uh. I was just playing some random chords" "It sounded really good! How long have you been playing?" She enthusiastically asked.

"T-thank you. I've been playing since i was nine" I forced out. The conversation died down as she continued with her work. "Hey would you mind if I spent my break in here? I honestly have nothing better to do and I'm only working for five more minutes" She broke the silence.

I thought about it for a second and then agreed. "Yeah sure I wouldn't mind." "Thank you so much! I have to go clock out but I'll be right back" She walked out of the room and closed the door. I continued to strum different chords and then hummed to harmonize with it.

Around ten minutes later I heard the door open. "Hey sorry I took so long, I had to change out of my scrubs" "Oh it's fine don't worry" I reassured her. "Any requests?" "Nope. Do you have any original songs? I would love to hear some of your work"

I nodded and started playing a song Ive been working on called La Jolla. We sat there enjoying each others presence and the pleasant atmosphere. "Wow. That was amazing" She said in disbelief after I finished playing for her. "Thank you" I said, turning my head away in embarrassment. I put my guitar down on the chair next to me and turned back to the redhead sitting right beside me.

We both sat there in a comfortable silence before she got up with a sad look on her face. "I'm so sorry but I need to be heading home now. It was really nice to hang out with you Wilbur. Can I have your number so we can hang out again sometime?"

I was too stunned to speak for a couple seconds before I stuttered out "Uh-Uhm- yeah it's uh xxx-xxx-xxxx" "Thanks" She gave me a wink. "I'll see you around then Wilbur" and with that she confidently strode out of the room leaving me in shock.

"A cute girl just asked for your number and you stuttered like a total fool. Very smooth Wilbur" I scolded myself. I decided that I should try and get some sleep so I relaxed my body and drifted off.
