Eighteen - Unwanted visitor

It's kind of a short chapter but I'm happy with it and you'll have a surprise in the end ahaha, enjoy :)

-Sorry for any grammar errors-

This can’t be real. What is he doing here in HB? He was supposed to be in LA with the guys. And why the hell didn’t anyone called me? Maybe no one knew he was here. I need to call Wes right now.

“Yeah babe?” he answers right away and I can hear the worry in his voice.

“Drew…” I don’t know how to say it “He’s uhm… he’s here” I head outside the hospital in order to get away from all the noise.

“What? What is he doing there? Is everything okay??” His voice starts to get a little louder. Obviously he didn’t know he was here. I don’t get it, why?

“I need you to stay calm because it’s not good news Wes” This is so hard, it’s his best friend! My voice gets weaker and weaker and tears are starting to pour down my face.

“What’s wrong Madison??”

“He’s at the hospital and he’s in a critical condition” this is enough to make tears fall down endlessly through my eyes.

“What?” now his voice sounds like a whisper. He pauses for a while to take it all in and then continues “Did you see him? Did you talk to him?” Oh god he’s crying. I wish I was there to help him out with this, it’s hard for him and it’s hard for me too, he’s my friend. “I’m leaving, wait for me there” I hear the sound of a door slamming and then he hangs up. He needs to stay calm if he’s driving all away down here. I don’t want anyone else to get hurt because this is more than enough for me. First Carol and now Drew. Did I do something wrong? Is this my fault? Now that I’m thinking, what if the reason Drew’s here is me? What if he came here to tell me something or just to see me? I’ve been talking to him since they left, he called a couple times but he never told me anything about coming here. What if it was a surprise? No please, this can’t be true, just tell me I’m overreacting…

After two hours waiting at the front of the hospital I’m starting to freak out. My nerves are pulling me to the test, I’m shaking, I’m sweating, I’m not feeling good. I see so many reporters, so many people. The fans are going crazy, some of them are even crying. This is too painful. I can’t see Drew because the doctors don’t let anyone come in. I just want this to be over.

I spot Wesley’s car parked at the parking lot and I see him and Keaton coming out of it and running towards me. If only you saw their expressions right now you would know how hard this is getting for me. I hug Wes and as soon as we’re pressed to each other I bawl my eyes out. I hear him sobbing and hug him even tighter. I can’t stand seeing him like this. I can see from over Wesley’s shoulder, Keaton also with a sad expression on his face. I pull him near us and we all hug each others in a big hug. I feel bad for Keaton, the girl he likes is in coma and his best friend is injured and not in a good condition either. This is all too painful for every single one of us.

 “Can we see him?” Wes asks me, sounding calmer now.

“Uhm I don’t think so but you’re like his family, they need to let you in” I say, caressing his face with the back of my hand. He has bloodshot eyes and his lips are dry “Everything’s gonna be fine” I say this but I’m not really sure of that, I want to believe that but I don’t know.

We enter in the building. I’m holding Wes by the hand and now I see the reporters turning their attention to us. I get a little worried and intimidated because this is the first time that someone takes us photos as a couple. Wes squeezes my hand and looks at me reassuring me that everything’s okay. I’m afraid of what other people could think of us but I need to stop worrying so much and let things flow.
