In Sickness

Chapter 12 (Jack's POV)

I went to the waiting room as they took Mark into surgery. When I got to the waiting room a found a chair in a corner and sat in it. I got my phone out and started scrolling through Twitter. After a few minutes of reading comments on my page I locked my phone, putting it in my pocket. I sighed as I leaned back in the chair. I closed my eyes, it was then I realized how tired I was. I was almost asleep when my phone went off. I got it out of my pocket to see that it was a text from Bob.

From: Bob
Hey there's a pic on Twitter of you sitting in the waiting room at the hospital. What's going on?

From: Sean
Mark's in surgery

From: Bob
What?! That's it I'll be there in a few minutes

I locked my phone after that and put it back in my pocket before closing my eyes again. I was so tired. I was almost asleep when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I opened my eyes to see Bob sitting next to me.

"What's going on?"

"Mark's in surgery. Something about gallstones"

Bob nodded.

"That shouldn't take that long to do"

I nodded. I was still worried about him. I didn't like the thought of surgery in the first place, letalone the thought of someone I love in surgery.

"Sean, he'll be fine. This isn't the first surgery he's had and knowing him it won't be the last"

I nodded. I looked at my phone and saw that it was 4:45 am.  I yawned.

"Sean, go to sleep"

I shook my head.

"No, I'm fine. I want to stay awake until he gets out of surgery"

I started coughing. I kept coughing for a few minutes before I finally stopped. I leaned my head back and closed my eyes.

"You need to sleep"

I nodded. Soon after that I fell asleep.

AN: I know the updates are really slow and I'm sorry. I'm trying to come up with ideas and I know this is short and I'll try to make up for it in the next chapter.
