I looked up and saw John walking down the hall way with a look of disgust on his face. I wanted to scream to him but I had no mmf in me. I just sat in the hallway like I was doing.
"Hey Alex what's up?" asked John. I jumped because I didn't think that he saw me.
"I'm o-" I began before he cut me off.
"No you're not. I know you better than that now." He said sitting next to me. I just kept my face in my knees not looking up. He put his arm around me and just sat with me without saying another word.
"Why did this have to happen? She's done nothing wrong..." I said crying.
"What's wrong?" Asked John. I ignored him. "Who are you talking about?" He asked again. "Please Alex." He said softly. I finally gave up.
"Milly.... She's in the hospital......." I said crying even more historically then I was before. John's skin went white. Milly has always been like a little sister to him too.
"What's wrong with her?" He asked.
"She blacked out during class and they had to bring her to the hospital. They said that something is wrong with part of her brain. She's in really bad condition right now. They said that she might have a possible chance of dying." I explained to him. I saw a tear roll down his face. Milly was the reason why John and I are friends.
"She'll be okay. Milly is a strong kid ya know." he tried to reassure me. The bell rang for the last class. He got up and began walking to his class. I didn't care if I missed my next class. I have no intentions of seeing people right now. Then all of a sudden I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"You wanna get out of here?" Asked John. I just looked at him because I couldn't talk without crying. He picked me up bridal style, which made me giggle a little, and walked towards the door.
"Wait, John, I need my stuff in my locker." I told him.
"Don't worry, I'm sure we'll be back here for detention later tonight anyway." He said. He walked me to his car and we drove away. It's the last class what are they really gonna do?
"Where are we going?" I asked him. He just looked at me and smiled.
"Don't worry about it darlin. Leave the driving to me." He replied. He turned up the music and my mood went from a -0 to a 3. He was playing Panic! at the Disco!!! My favorite band ever!!! We were both jamming out to Victorious because he's mainstream and only knows the popular p!atd songs. We ended up at the Starbucks drive through window.
"You know I don't order at Starbucks anymore." I said.
"I would like two s'mores frappe chinos please." John said. I started laughing because when we were younger that's what him and I would drink everyday. But then Starbucks became known as a white girl hipster place and I wasn't about that. But right now I will gladly take a million of those. After we got our drinks and listened to more Panic, we pulled up to our local hospital. I wasn't sure if I was ready for this. I looked a John to see if he was actually getting out of the car.
"If she has a chance of death, wouldn't you want to spend every last second you could with her?" He asked me. I guess he was right. I walked really slow. He actually had to give me a push into the front door. We headed to the front desk when I stopped him.
"How do you even know this is the right hospital?" I asked him.
"Hi we are looking for Millicent Angelo." John asked the lady at the desk completely ignoring me. It was really weird to hear someone say Milly's full name. No one has called Milly Millicent in years.
"Are you two family?" she asked. John looked at me worried. Milly and I have always considered John to be out brother but he's not our actual brother. "Kids, we are only letting family in." The lady said.
"I'm her sister." I replied. She took out some files.
"Oh, you must be Alexa-" She began.
"Yes that's me," I said quickly cutting her off, "I'm Alex." I corrected her.
"Who are you?" The lady asked John.
"He's our cousin. He's the one who drove me here." I said. The lady nodded and brought us to her room. I stopped before heading right in.
"What are you waiting for?" John asked me.
"I don't think I can do this...." I said beginning to cry again. Milly is a spitting image of my mom. I had to watch her die because my dad wouldn't come take care of her, because they were in that big of a fight! My moms last words were, "You take care of Millicent please. You are a beautiful born leader Alex." Then her monitor beep and her line was flat. I wanted to run into my dads arms and cry. I was closer to my dad than I was my mom, but she was still very important t me. But he was jail.
"She was just brought here a couple hours ago right? So she is still alive." He said reassuringly.
"It also was a gun shot that killed the man in seconds." I replied referencing to my dad. I put my hand on the door and walked in slowly. My brother and his girlfriend sitting by her bed side. Milly had wires all over her. She looked all beat up and sickly. I didn't even try to stop the tears. My brother came over to me and gave me a hug.
"Shouldn't you be in school? How did you even get here?" spit Bethany. I always love seeing her bright shining face.
"I texted her that Milly was in the hospital, hon. But how did you get here?" He asked. He knew that I got my car taken away.
"I did sir. It's nice to see you again." John spoke up.
"How did you know we would be at this hospital?" He asked John.
"I didn't sir, I just assumed because it is the closest hospital to the elementary school and high school." He replied.
