chapter thirty-three

It's day 2 of being in the hospital. And so far, Liam has showed no improvement. Well, you can't recover in a day, but I wish you could.

The nurse that is scheduled to check up on Liam comes in and checks up on Liam.

" How are you doing this fine morning Millie?" The nurse asks.

" I'm trying my best to feel good. I've had better days." I say.

" I understand fully." The nurse says. She finishes up on Liam and walks out of the room. I look at Liam.

" I really wish you would get better already." I say slipping my hand in his. I feel my pocket vibrate. I reach into my pocket and pull out my phone. Liam's parents were calling me. Shit, I totally forgot to tell them about Liam! How could I forget to tell his parents?

I answer the phone," Hello?"

" Hi Millie. We just called to check in on how everyone is doing." Karen says. I let out a nervous laugh.

" The kids are doing okay. I'm doing okay. Liam on the other hand, not so much." I say.

" Why isn't he doing okay?" Karen asks.

" He got in a car crash yesterday and is now in the hospital." I say. I could hear Karen gasp on the other end.

" How is my baby? Is he alright? What happened during the crash?" Karen threw her questions at me.

" He's not doing okay. He's currently in a coma right now, so the crash was really bad." I say.

" We need to come over. We have to see him." Karen says.

" As much as I would love for you to be here, you need to stay up there. I will update how he's doing." I say.

" Are you calling us old? We are cable of going to visit you!" Karen says.

" But I don't want to risk anything. Please don't come down. I'll update how your son is doing. Please don't stress." I say.

" Fine. But I better hear an update about him every night." Karen says.

" I promise." I say. Karen hangs up. I place my phone on my lap. I look at Liam with tears in my eyes.

" Who hates you this much for you to be hospitalized?" I ask. Wait, who was also in the accident? I stand up and walk out of the room to find Liam's nurse. I found her looking through some paperwork.

" Excuse me, but who was the other person in the accident?" I ask.

" I think his name was Chase or something like that. He's just down the hall." The nurse says pointing to his room. I thank her and stomp to his room. How dare he fucking do this to my husband! I trusted him.

" You did this on fucking purpose!" I yell at him once I stepped into his room. He looked at me confused.

" What do you mean?" Chase asks. I walk over to him and pointed my finger at him.

" You fucking ran your car into my husband hoping he would die so you get back to me! How fucking dare you! I trusted you!" I yell.

" Millie, I didn't do it on purpose. He just happened to be the person that I hit. I swear I didn't do on purpose. I could've hit a totally different person, but it just happened to be Liam. Please, I didn't mean to hit your husband." Chase says.

" Then why is my husband more injured than you are?" I ask.

" I don't have an answer for that one." Chase says. I roll my eyes.

" I honestly thought I could trust you. Why would you do this to me if we're supposed to be friends? I actually hate you." I say. I walk out of his room. I was about to walk back into Liam's room when someone stops me.
