Just Another Rucas Love Story

Chapter 13

As Maya is being wheeled in, I don't even know what to think. My best friend is tehcinally dying in front of me. Well, looks like dying. No no no no. Please let this be a dream. Please.

I look towards my mom and she looks just as shocked as me. I guess she can tell by my scared face so they go in the hall. I can't hear much but I can make out the words.

"You guys have to do more, look at her! That is techincally my daughter, I pay for so much for, and I'll pay the damn bills, please just make her better."

"Look, Mrs. Matthews, we would but we discovered breast cancer, if we go into more surgery without knowing if it's fully breast cancer, we could lose her, for good. We need to let her sleep and stay in her current coma."

"What happens when she's out of the coma?"

'Well, we stitched her shoulder and leg back together, got the glass out of her eyes, and got a blood clot out, so she would just need theropy, it all depends on how she feels if -"

"Will Dr. Alaska report to 802."

"Thank you Doctor.." And with that my mom comes back into the room but i'm not sure if she knows I heard.

I can't believe this is really happening. Will things be the same after this?

Suddenly Lucas' dad and mom come into the room, and rub straight to him, I'm guessing they already talked to the doctor but it's still staying. They take his hands and I see his eyes flutter. Oh my... He's alive.

"Shh, we're here, shh,"

I start to wonder if Bradley even knows this happened. I know he was sick on Friday but I bet he would walk here if he knew. Could they be keeping this from him?

Lucas talking snaps me back to real life, his voice is really raspy, "I love you, I'm sorry for everything I've ever done. Made you guys move here. I'm sorry. I love you both so much."

He wants to bring a tear to my eye. How do I know I'll ever see my baby brother again? Farkle teaching me stuff? My best friend in the whole world listening and laughing along everything with me?

Soon a nurse I haven't seen yet comes in and gives Lucas water and me some more. Once we finish the nurse turns to our parents and tells them that we need to sleep. I guess something was in that drink to help us fall asleep during the pain because my eyes are dropping all of a sudden.

~ a couple hours later in the middle of the night ~

My eye shoot open, hoping my mom or dad is there but they aren't. I can't stop thinking of what happened. What if they saw my cuts? Probably. More likely won't give me anything sharp. It would be so good to take a razor and pull it into my skin. Let the blood drip down my wrist and scream the pain out.

How could I let this happen to us? I should've helped stopped Maya but I'm too stupid. I may lose my best friend forever now because how stupid I am.

I start crying. I just want to throw up and ugh. I get up and look out the door. I don't see anybody besides one nurse typing away. The clock saids to 4:01.

I can't stop crying as I turn towards Maya. I guess I somehow woke Lucas up and I hear him barely whisper, "Love, come over here."

I don't really want to look at him but I guess I have too.

As I get over to him he takes my left arm, since my right one is broken. He looks straight into my eyes.

"You need to keep good thoughts, worst have surrived this, please, don't do anything. You're important and you keep us all together. Now bring your face close to mine because my back to killing me."

He manged to make me smile as I pull my face towards him and carefully connect our lips.

"I guess I'll go back to sleep, I'm really sorry for waking you up, I wish I didn't."

"Forever, always, you and me."

And those words I will remember forever now.
