Lover Era

Chapter Six

"He what?" I scream. It's been about a month since the Eras tour. My brother left again recently and I had just called Makena to see how she's been. Her and Darron have been dating the last week, and I also wanted to see how they were.

Oh how I regret that. "Darron, he's in the hospital!" Makena cries over the phone. My jaw drops. "He was skateboarding with me when he just fell! I don't know what's wrong yet, but, Sally, I'm scared! The doctors say it's not good." Guilt rushes through my body like a tidal wave.

Almost instantly I get up, bolting to my new car and turning it on. I need to get to Makena. Turning on the Bluetooth, I ask Siri to call a certain somebody. He's the last person I want to call right now but I feel like I need to, and I always trust my gut.

"Hey grinch, what's up?" Conner's familiar voice answers almost as soon as I ring him. I groan. Of course he has to call me that right now.

Sighing, I rub the spot between my eyebrows. "Conner, this isn't the time," I mutter. The snickering goes silent and I can feel Conners seriousness from across the screen. After a bit, I continue. "Darron's in the hospital. Makenas freaking out. I know she wants to stay but I need her out of there.

"She's hot really bad anxiety and she'll lose her mind if she's there any longer. I know you hate me Conner, but please, help me," I beg. Tears begin to sting my eyes as the road starts to blur.

"Sally, I'll help. What do you need me to do?" He asks softly. His voice is like a warm touch and it's kind of hard to imagine this boy being the one I've hated for so long. As everything around clears, I can see the hospital come into view. My nerves go haywire.

Gasping for air, I say, "her mom is coming to pick Makena up. I'm going to be watching Darron. A-all I need is for you to stay. I-I can't do this alone." The long silence returns. My heart plummets. He's not going to come, I can feel it. Not that I judge him, I don't know if I would've done it for him either. For all our bickering, I'm shocked I got the guys up to call him.

Just to let you know, I still despise him. However, he's all I've got right now besides Makena and my brother. Makena needs to go though, and we both know where my brother is. I can't handle hospital trips alone, however, not since the last one. I'm going to need someone with me or I will have a panic attack, and those are everything but pretty.

I hear Conners shaky breath and the engine of his car start. "Sally, don't worry, I'm in my way," he reassures. I let out a loud breath of relief. Oh thank you God! I could never be more excited to see Conners annoying face.

"Thank you so much Conner. I could never thank you enough," I thank him, finally letting the tears spill as I unbuckle and hop out of my car. I feel dizzy and debate going back home, but this is for Makena. I'd do anything for her.

Before hanging up, Conner adds, "oh, and for the record, I could never hate you Sally."
