Grier life

Chapter 49

Recap:

I was stirring the pasta when I heard a gunshot, fear instantly took over my body and I ran into the living room to see-

Sydney's POV

Matt was lying on the ground in a pile of blood coming from his side.

"MATT!" I yelled dropping the spoon and glass cup I had on the floor and running to Matt's side.

I was balling my eyes out and I could barely see.

Nash and Cam were applying pressure already to the wound and Hayes was calling the ambulance.

I took Matt's hands and held them tightly causing him to look at me and weakly smiled.

"Sy-" he started to say weakly then started to cough up blood making me cry harder.

The ambulance came and the paramedics had to literally pry me off of Matt as they put him into a stretcher and rushed him to the hospital as fast as he could.

As I watched the ambulance drive away I fell to my knees crying and Hayes came over and hugged me tightly.

Cam called Matt's parents and Dylan and Ryan and they are all going to meet us at the hospital and Nash is talking to the cops because he's the only one who saw the man who shot Matt.

I couldn't think straight and my head was pounding from me crying so much and my fave was full of tears.

Hayes picked me up and brought me to the car. He held me in his arms as Cam quickly drove to the hospital with Nash in the passenger seat.

We got to the hospital and sat in the waiting room for about 5 minutes then Matt's family all got here.

I still haven't stopped crying and Hayes is still holding me.

After about an hour and a half my crying had somewhat stopped and I'm now sitting in the corner of the room by myself just staring at the wall in front of me.

I felt someone sit next to me but just kept my gaze at the wall not bothering to even see who it was.

After a few minutes the person got up and left and I kept staring at the wall with glossy eyes.

Another half hour went by when finally the doctors came out.

"Matthew Espinosa?" He said and I left my gaze at the wall and saw Matt's family get up and walk over to the doctor and I stood and walked over a little bit behind them trying to hear what the doctor was saying but I didn't get much.

The doctor walked away and my heart was pounding wanting to know how Matt was.

Laura looked at me and must've saw the hurt and concern in my eyes because she walked over and hugged me.

"He's going to be okay." She said with relief in her voice "the doctor said he's already making a good recovery and the surgery went well. He will have to stay in here over night and can't go to school for a few days but he's going to be okay." She said pulling away

I smiled I actually smiled as tears of joy now filled my eyes and relief filled my body.

"Thank you." I whispered inaudible to anyone else as I looked at the sky. "Thank you."

A few minutes went by then a nurse told us that we were aloud to visit.

Matt's parents went in first then Dylan and Ryan then I was aloud to go in.

I stood and quickly walked to his room and opened the door seeing him hooked up to all these machines lying in the hospital bed. My heart ached at the sight but I was just relieved that he was okay.

I walked over towards his bed and he turned and looked at me and smiled.

I hugged him being careful of his side and all the wires and he held me tightly.

"Please don't scare me like that Matt." I said as my voice cracked "I thought I was going to lose you." I finished as I got teary eyes again

He kissed my head and wiped my tears "I'm not ready to go anywhere and leave you Syd." He said

I smiled at him and hugged him again.

Nash Hayes and Cam came in and I let them talk to Matt and all as I stood off to the side.

They left then Matt's parents came in again and talked to him one more time and they said goodbye to me and that they will be back tomorrow.

I stayed in Matt's room and we talked and I could definitely tell he was feeling better because he was back to his old funny and sweet self.

I was in there for hours until the nurse told me that visiting hours were over and that Matt needs to sleep.

I nodded and kissed Matt's cheek then hugged him one more time before going back to the waiting room and fell into Nash's arms.

"This isn't fair." I weakly said to him

"I know baby girl I know." He said hugging me back

"He doesn't deserve any of this Nash.. Who would even-" I stopped mid sentence as I remembered the call

It couldn't be could it?

"Syd? You okay?" Nash asked concerned

"Th-the other night I got a uh ph-phone call from some un-Unknown number and they told me to to go to the coffee shop down the street and to l-leave my phone and meet some some guy there. I-I ignored it and I didn't want to leave you g-guys.. B-but he th-threatened to to..." I started off again but started crying realizing that this is my fault

"H-he said he was go-going to h-hurt one o-of you g-guys if I I didn't g-go." I finished now crying harder as Nash held me

"It's not your fault. You did the right thing on not going and the cops know who it was from my description so they can find him, but you're going to have to go in an explain the call."

I nodded slowly wiping my tears and taking a deep breath.

"Let's go its late and you have school tomorrow." He said again and I nodded then we went back to the house.

We pulled into the driveway and the cops had fixed the glass door and cleaned everything so we were all good to go.

I went straight up to my room and put on Matt's sweatpants and sweatshirt then took out my phone and laid in my bed looking at all of the cute pictures I have of Matt and I.

I started to cry again because the love of my life is in the hospital because of me..

I turned my phone off and plugged it in then climbed into bed crying myself to sleep.
