How It Goes

Hospital Visits

  I've woken up to a small white room with a window that takes up a whole wall. A stinging of pain shoots through my skull as I stare out the window into the dark night sky, indicating that it's night. I then realize that my hand is being squeezed, I look over to see my 19 year old brother holding my hand while he's slumped over in a chair, sleeping so innocently, but I know he's not. You see, three of my brothers are players and can be jackasses if it gets to their minds to quickly. I still love them anyways, they are super overprotective due to my past.
"Skylar?" I ask my brother even though my voice is all scratchy and let's just say.... Disgusting. His head only shakes a little bit. My damn brothers and their love of sleep. "Skylar?" I ask a little more loudly, ignoring my ugly voice. His head instantly shoots up as he looks at me in the eyes. All my good memories instantly flood back into my mind as I look deeply into his hazel grey eyes. His brown hair disheveled due to his sleeping figure. All the time he's been there with me. I could actually talk to him, and I was closer to Skylar than anyone else in my family.
Mostly because of my fathers strange death. My mother has been very distant, working longer nights, staying in her room more, always running out the door when either my brothers or I woke up. Skylar's smile lit up the room every time he was happy. I guess it's his good looks, tall and muscular figure, and his amazing personality that drew in the poor hopeless girls. Yep, Skylar was one of my player brothers, but I think you already knew that after seeing his good looks.
"How are you feeling, Mili?" He asked me, using my nickname. "I've been better, at least I can cross off getting hit by a car off my bucket list." I say laughing after when Skylar joined in on my laughter. "Wait, is that actually on your bucket list?" He ask me, instantly changing his face from goofy to serious. "Believe it or not, my dear brother." I answer his question with a smile. Awe, that amused look on his face was amazing.
My eyes wandered around my room seeing that Skylar was indeed, the only person here to visit me. "Where's mom and the boys?" I ask, even though I knew the answer for my mother. The sad look on Skylars face just confirmed my theory. "Amilia, mom never came to see you. And the boys were sent home to wait for you. Or if you're kept here longer, than to come see you tomorrow." He tells me as I just nod in understandment. "I'm tired Skylar, I'm going to go back to bed. Please stay here though." I say with pleading eyes, he just nods and puts his head back down on the side of the bed I was in.
  The next morning I'm woken up to a very bright room, or was it just the flashlights that my brothers were pointing at me? "Come on Amilia! God you sleep forever!" My 14 year old brother, Tyler, yells at me. And I'm stuck with them? Dad, why did you have to have all boys? I think to myself as I find myself rolling my eyes at Tyler. "Seriously Mili, I now understand why you take forever to get dressed in the mornings. You look like a dead cat that got ran over a couple times!" Yells my 18 year old brother, Joey. My mouth hung open at the insult, I mean seriously?! That's so depressing! Plus, I was literally just hit by a car! "Careful Mili, don't want you to eat flies for breakfast." 21 year old, Demarcus tells me as he connects my bottom jaw back to my top jaw. "You all suck balls." I say just above a whisper. "Ah Amilia, you're kind of getting it now, same location, different genders." Joey says with a smirk. Took me awhile to understand what he meant. My face scrunches up in disgust at my brothers comment.
"Ignore him Mili." Skylar says while laughing at my face. Literally. "Anyways, we'll be taking you home in like, an hour?" says Skylar as more a question then a statement. "Okay, well then I should start getting dressed." I say back as I start to get out of bed, though I know that I still have the IVs in my arm. My brothers just stand next to my bed watching me. "Mili turn the other way. I don't wanna see your ass." Tyler says to me as he starts to turn towards the door. "Well then don't look, but actually can you all not go out till I at least have my jeans on? And someone please get a nurse to take out these stupid IVs." I say to all my brothers.
After I have my black ripped skinny jeans on, Tyler runs out the door and soon brings in a nurse. "How may I help you ma'am?" The nurse asked, while obviously checking out my brothers, then looking at me. "Um yeah, I kinda need you to take out my IVs so I can get dressed and get signed out." I say with an annoyed tone. People are always looking at me weird because I always have 4 gorgeous guys with me.
