Quiet (Shaylor)

Chapter 8: Warm hands

A/N: I decided to update again this week because why not, I'm going to update my best friend's brother later. When is your last day of school? What do you plan to do with your sunmer? What grade/college are you going to in September?

Luckily, it was Friday night and Shawn was home completing if he should go see taylor. He didn't wanna go there and cry because he doesn't want to cry, he wasn't going to cry. He just wanted to hurt as bad Connor like he did to Taylor. He didn't understand this world could be this cruel, like who would want to an innocent happy bubbly person?

He felt it was all his fault why Taylor was in the hospital. He should be laying in that hospital bed instead of the older boy. A lot people wouldn't care if Shawn was in the hospital considering the only family he has is Julia and basically Matt. Shawn wished Connor didn't come after him. Why him? That question kept on repeating in his head.

Shawn was also hoping that older boy didn't die. He couldn't handle himself if he died, he couldn't lose another one. He just want that feeling to come back, but it's not like it never left either though. Matt was texting him so his phone was ringing off the hook, 9 miss class and 18 messages Matt left for him. The younger boy didn't know why he called him like if he was going to talk.

His Aunt Julia opened his bedroom door and narrowed her eyebrows at her nephew who looked stressed. "Why is Matt calling our house phone a million times?" Julia questioned him but already knowing the answer. Shawn shrugged just wanted to forget about the whole situation. "Why don't you see your friend in the hospital?" Julia sighed sitting on his bed. Shawn shrugged carelessly again.

"Shawn if you keep acting like you don't care, it's not going led no where" Julia preparing to give him a life lesson. "I know after the accident, you haven't been yourself but that doesn't mean you shut people out of your life" Shawn knew what she was saying was true. "I seen you throw so many opportunities that you thrown down the past few years by not letting you missing an opportunity to go be there for your friend" Julia said sternly sounding like a parent.

The 15 year-old knew she wasn't joking when she was literally was going to drop him off at Rosewood hospital (the only hospital in town). So he he put on his favorite black sweater and got his shoes own while she started the car.

"Be there for him shawn, I'm not kidding, after don't be afraid" Julia shouted out the window before he entered the emergency center. He gave her smiled after she drove off. He entered nervously while the place smelled like medicine. It was cool when he sat down with a few people in the waiting room. He scanned faces and their was an old lady who was coughing alot and looked weak, along with another man who eyes were red, smeed high.

Shawn was sat there 38 minutes and seen Taylor's family walking out from the back. Taylor's mom immediately had disgusted looked on her face when she seen the young boy and shouted, "Don't you ever talk to my boy ever again". His father pulled outside before she can holler at him more. Jordan and Kelly gave him dirty looks as well. Shawn didn't care if his family hated at the moment, he needed to see the older boy.

The staff wasn't and couldn't going to let Shawn see him because he was not family or blood related. He went outside of the waiting room and sneakily duck down so the staff didn't seen him, he successfully got to the hall ways without getting caught. He stood up and searched every door. When he was passing through, he seen a little girl that had about 9 years old that looked like she was battling cancer.

He gotten sad of the image and kept on searching until he got to the last door. He was about to go home and called a night but he seen Taylor through the glass window. He looked around making sure no saw him go in. Once the coast was clear, he opened the door quietly and closed it slowly.

Shawn seen Taylor was hooked up to tubes. His arms had needles in them and the machines were beeping and the room was slient. He was still unconscious since his body was in shock still, he had an Nasal cannula under his nose that was Flowing oxygen to his body because his lungs didn't have enough air. His eyes were shut closed and his skin was pale. The 15 year-old old gulped a guilt feeling and sat down in a chair next to the bed.

He looked over at Taylor who had hospital grown on and had blanket wrapped around him. Taylor looked almost lifeless. Shawn was looking at him sad eyes knowing that he wouldn't be here right now if he never met him. He wished he Taylor and him never bumped into each other in the hallway because if he didn't, he wouldn't be laying there.

It was hard for Shawn to be sitting there in hospital room because this was him 4 years ago. He couldn't bare the pain back then and he Couldn't barely bare the pain now. A tear fall down Shawn's Eye showing sadness in first time in long time. He bowed his head down whipping them as sobbed. This was the first time he was expressing his sadness and he was scared.

He wasn't sure why he was scared but he was and didn't know how to comprehend it. He stopped sobbing for second and looked at Taylor and he reached for his hand. He intertwined their hands together, he felt butterflies in his stomach like the time when Taylor intertwined their hands while ran in the hallway. Shawn wanted to hold his hand forever in a non-gay-way.

Later On That night, Taylor was beginning to come out of unconsciousness and slowly opened his eyes and he saw Shawn was a sleeping peacefully besides him holding his hand. The older boy weakly smiled at the image and held back tightly and that made their hands warm.
