Honor Thy Teacher

Chapter 7

Chris and Asia pulled up into the parking lot of Palm Springs General Hospital. He hated hospitals and thought that the day would never come that he would have to ever go back to one. Chris was nervous and Asia could feel it as she looked over at him. She was hoping and had already prayed for the possible and best outcome, even though she realized that it was not all in her hands.

"We're here. So are you ready?" Asia questioned with raised eyebrows.

She hated seeing Chris like that and didn't want him to experience any type of pain. The emergency phone call about his mom had shaken him up very badly.

Chris didn't answer but inhaled and exhaled before looking over at her. He had a look of worry spread on his face and his eyes look weak as if he wanted to cry. He loved his mother so much and it pained him dearly.

Asia grabbed his hand and lightly squeezed it.

"Everything is going to be okay. Don't worry. I'm here for you," she simply said words of positivity as they leaned in for a kiss on the lips.

Chris was thankful that Asia had offered to come along for moral support and he would forever be grateful to her for that.

They made their way out of the vehicle and walked in side by side while holding hands as they made their way up the cemented walkway and in through the rotating glass doors.

As Chris and Asia walked into the waiting room they were greeted by his Chris family some was crying and some just look nervous.

Chris Aunt Tiffany had stood up and walked over to him giving him a hug as she looked over at Asia.

"This my girlfriend Asia. Asia this my Aunt Tiffany," Chris introduce them.

"Hi and nice to meet you," Asia said while giving her a hug.

"You to sweetie," Tiffany said while hugging her back.

"Did the doctor come out yet?" Chris asked while looking over at her.

"No... not yet. So you didn't miss anything," Tiffany said.

Just then Chris dad walked through the door. Chris dad hadn't been around in years. He left him and his mother when he was only four years old. He hadn't seen him or heard from him since. This angered him as his heart begin to race as if it was about to pop right out of his chest.

"What the fuck are you doing here? Who called you here? You aren't welcomed here, " Chris boomed with anger as he pushed him in the chest.

His dad stumbled backward and had almost fallen if he hadn't caught his balance quickly enough.

"Boy... Who do you think you are questioning me? You are still my son. Don't you ever in your life put your fucking hands on me!" His father shouted out as he walked over towards him.

"Calm down Chris," Asia said as she tried to pull him back as one of his other family members jumped up and ran over full force towards his father.

"Christian, this is a public place. You and Chris need to resolve your issues with each other at another time. This isn't the time nor the place," his Uncle Greg said while stepping in.

A door swung open and out walked Fantasia. Chris's ex-girlfriend.

"Is he here yet?" She questioned as she straightened out her clothing just as she had noticed all of the tension in the room before looking over at an angry Chris with this beautiful girl on his shoulder.

Asia and Fantasia stared at each other.

Jealousy instantly took over as she shifted her eyes back in forth, but before she could say a word the double doors opened up and out walked the doctor with a serious look plastered on his face.
