Silence (5sos ot4)

(15) part one

Michael, Ashton, and the doctor went back to to waiting room and sat down, Michael and Ashton shaking their legs anxiously as the doctor checked his chart.

"Alright well, good news and  slightly bad news. The bad news isn't exactly bad though so no worries," Dr. Stevens said.

Michael let out an audible sigh of relief and Ashton managed a tiny smile.

"I'll give you the bad news first. Calum unfortunately hasn't woken up from his coma yet, but the good news helps out with that. We aren't exactly sure what happened, but Calum's condition has improved by quite a bit. We are still pumping nutrients through his body to help keep him as healthy as possible while in the state he's in. He also no longer has to be on life support as he is now breathing on his own. One minor problem we had though, was that when Calum tried to commit suicide, he of course lost a lot of blood, but we have found a supply of the same blood type he has to help solve that problem. Overall, Calum is looking much better now," he told them.

"If he's improved so much, how long do you think it'll be until he wakes up?" Michael asked hopefully.

Dr. Stevens looked back at the chart. "If you boys are lucky, Calum should wake up in two weeks to a month at the minimum. That's only if you're lucky. You have to remember that Calum is in a coma, and anything could change at anytime," he warned.

Ashton and Michael nodded understandingly. All they could do was hope nothing went wrong and they could get their Calum back soon.

Dr. Stevens kept talking.

"There is one problem though," he started.

"What? What is it?" Michael asked in a scared voice.

"Even though Calum has been here for so long, we have not been able to contact any parent or relative of his; therefore, even if he does wake up within two weeks, he cannot be released from here until a parent or guardian signs him out since none of you are under his name in his emergency contacts or anywhere else. We need to get in contact with a relative of Calum's as soon as possible," the doctor said.

Ashton sighed. "But, we've never even met Calum's parents before. We don't even know where he lives."

"Has Calum ever said anything about them that you can recall?" Dr. Stevens asked.

Michael shook his head, but a look of realization shown on Ashton's face.

"What is it?" Michael asked curiously.

"Do you remember that morning, the first morning Cal was with us, and you had to lend him clothes?" Ashton asked, his heart dropping with every word.

Michael nodded slowly, wondering where this was going, and the doctor listened caredully to them.

"When I asked Calum whether he wanted to borrow clothes from you or go home and get his own, he practically begged me not to drive him home to get his own. It was like, he was scared. I could just be paronoid, but..." Ashton trailed off.

Dr. Stevens sighed. "Are you boys positive he's never said anything else about his home life?" he asked, writing down something on his chart quickly.

Ashton and Michael nodded, then Michael spoke up again.

"You could probably ask Luke though. He's closer to Calum than either of us," he said.

"There is no need. With what you boys have told us, and with all of the injuries Calum had when he was brought in plus the fact that his parents won't answer any calls, I think our speculations were right about him," the doctor said.

"And what were those speculations?" Ashton asked.

"We think that Calum might be a victim of abuse."
