In Love With One Of The Bratayleys (Entered for #wattys2015) #bratayleyreadmst1fanfic

36- Shock.

*Luke's POV*

I was sitting in the living room couch, in a shirt and sweatpants. The TV was on, but I wasn't watching. I instead was looking at my phone screen, and my recent convo with Hayes was on the screen. I hadn't gone to hockey practice,because I was injured. So I was alone in the house. Mom and dad were at work, and Riley was in skating practice.
Suddenly,the phone rang. I groaned in laziness and stood up to answer it.
'Hello?'
'Hello, are you a relative of Riley LeBlanc?'- a woman asked.
'Yes, im her brother. Why?'
'Your sister... She is here. Im talking from the Westwood Hospital.'- My eyes opened wide, and my heartbeat raised to extreme levels. I somehow managed to give an answer.
'Is she okay?'
'No... She isn't. I need you to come to the hospital as soon as possible'- She said.
'I'll be right there'- I said, before hanging up. As I got dressed, I thought how would I ask to take me to the hospital. Mom and dad's work was very far away, and by the time they were here, Riley could be dead. Hayes and the others... No. Suddenly, an idea popped into my head. I took out my phone and marked speed dial.
'Hello?'- My girlfriend's voice answered.
'Julie, Riley is in the hospital. I need someone to take me there'- I quickly blurted out. Julie remained quiet for a few seconds, and I could imagine her face over the phone.
'My brother and I will pick you up. Be right there'- she said, before hanging up. I grabbed my phone and keys and, in a matter of seconds, Julie and her brother came for me and we were off to the hospital.
We arrived, and I ran to the reception table.
'Riley LeBlanc'- I simply said.
'And you are...'- Oh my god, lady just tell me where my sister is.
'Her brother'
'Room 12'- she said. I literally flew through the hallway of the first floor, and made up myself before entering the room. I opened the door slightly and instantly everyone in the room looked at me. There were 3 nurses and 2 doctors. In between them, my poor little sister was lying in the hospital bed. She wasn't awake, and she had cuts and bruises everywhere. Her whole torso was covered with a huge bandage, and she was hooked up to several machines, IVs, and respiratory machines. Her face was as pale as paper.
'Are you the so called "Luke"?'- the doctor asked me. I nodded.
'How did you know?'- I asked.
'Before she fell on a coma, we asked her who could we call, and she said Luke'
'What's wrong with my sister?'
'In skating class, a friend of her accidently kicked her hard, and the skate pierced through her skin. It took a lot of time to remove, and It affected her respiratory and blood system'- He explained. Now, tears flowed down my face.
'Will she be okay?'- I asked.
'I don't know. After she wakes up, we will take her into surgery to fix her.
'Is it okay if I stay the night?'- I asked.
'Sure. Just call your parents and if something happens, just scream'- A nurse said, and they exited the room. I sat on a chair and cried my eyes out. Soon, someone opened the door slightly. I looked at the door and Julie came in. She looked at Riley and then at me. You could see her heart breaking when she saw my emotional state. She threw herself at my arms and then kissed me. She sat next to me and held my hand tight.
'I already called your parents. They told me to stay the night here with you and Riley'- She said. I smiled and muttered a 'thank you'.
I approached my sister's hand.
'Riley, I need you.'
