Him

Healing

Griffin's POV

We made it to the nurses car and she frantically drives toward the hospital, J is slung over my lap in the back seat. We drive in silence for a good 15 minutes until we made it to the hospital, I could tell the nurse wasn't prepared for this and I felt pretty shitty for putting her in this position.

We made our way into the lobby and emmidiatly a hospital staff nurse noticed our distress and got Jackson onto a stretcher and wheeled him down a hallway. They make me stay outside the room and the school nurse disappeared into an office, probably to discuss the situation.

I can't believe this, his mom is probably livid. How am I going to explain this? Is J even going to be alright?
I shoved those questions to the very back of my mind, I couldn't think of that stuff. I just need to calm down.

The school nurse returned with some paper work.
"I'm assuming his mother doesn't know about this?"

"No, I don't have a way of contacting her, even if I did I don't know how I could do it" I answered her

"Well he's almost done, they got him conscious and bandaged up, I vouched as his caregiver so he'd be treated quickly. I probably shouldn't have done that but I understand the gist of what happened, I'll be in the lobby when they release him I'll drive you guys home okay?"

"Thank you so much, I'm so sorry to put you through this" I said shaking, she must've known how scared I was because she just hugged me and I teared up.

The nurse dropped us off at my place and as usual my mom was MIA so we had the place to ourselves, I led J to the couch and he fell asleep must be from all the pain killers and stuff.
Watching him just sleeping there on my couch re awakened how scared I was when I first saw Thomas over him.
It made me scared and nervous, but also relived that he was fine. I also came to a realization. I had feelings for him. Ones that were beyond friendship, ones that he probably wouldn't return.
