Flower Girl. (Chris Evans)

Chapter 65

CHRIS.

I can tell Flor is freacking out but trying her best to stay calm for the kids, they took Susana in as soon as we arrived since they have her record here and know her situation, I watch Flor and the kids sitting in the waiting room. Lory is looking around, Jake looks scare, Ben looks nervous and even though I should be bonding with them, I feel the need to call Luke, this isn't something Ben should be telling him, but he does need to be here so I take a few steps away while keeping them in eyesight before taking my phone out, it takes a few tries, one after the other until he finally picks up.

*PHONE CALL*

Hey man, I'm at work, can I call you back later?

No. 

He sighs Okay, I'm listening.

We're at the hospital.

What? Who's hurt?

Sussy passed out, she didn't get out of bed and Ben called Flor.

Fuck, I hear him say something to his partner before hearing the police siren Has she woken up?

We arrived like 10 minutes ago, we don't know anything, but she had a fever, I carried her, so we didn't have to call an ambulance for the kids' sake.

Yeah, that was probably for the best, man, the kids must've been so scared.

They still are.

How long has she been passed out?

We don't know, Ben just said she didn't get out of bed.

Okay, listen I'm on my way but I'm pretty far away even with the sirens on, so please if something changes in this time give me a call.

Yes, of course.

I'll let you go, I know the kids must need someone there with them and Flor must be scared too, so please be there for them.

She's hanging in there for them, but yeah, I'll go help.

Thanks man, really.

No need, we're family.

*END OF PHONE CALL*

I go sit next to Flor and she turns to me "Luke's on his way." She nods, before moving her gaze to Jake letting me know to go talk to him, I nod before standing up and going sit next to him, Ben's the one watching me the entire time, he's keeping an eye on his siblings because I'm a stranger to them, and even though I should feel sad that he feels the need to do that I feel proud that he's focus on keeping them safe "Hi, I'm Chris."

Jake turns to me, frowns a little before nodding "I'm Jake."

"Do I have something on my face or something?" He shakes his head "why are you still frowning?"

"Sorry, it's just that you seem familiar, but I can't tell from where."

I sigh "that's probably because I'm an actor, you may've seen something I'm in."
