Chapter 18

I took a quick intake of breath."What do you mean 'not good'?"

She started crying.

"No, don't cry Hailey, it's Alex, he's strong, he'll be fine. It'll be ok. He'll be fine." I didn't know who I was trying to convince, Hailey or myself...

We started talking a bit and she filled me in on what hospital Alex was at and his condition.

Apparently Alex had to stay at hospital for a week minimum before they would decide if he needed to stay longer.

"Does he have any broken bones?" I asked.

"A few b-bruised ribs an-and a broken nose...he also h-has a fractured collar bone and a concussion."Hailey said sniffing.

"So he's going to be fine." I smiled.

"He's in so much pain Sam."

"He's at a hospital, didn't they give him pain medication?"

"Even if they did it won't exactly help..."

"Why not?" I asked, "Its pain meds, how can they not help?"

"I think it's time you know the truth Sam, come visit us at the local hospital we're at room 105. Just tell Mr Jones he'll drive you here." With that Hailey hung up leaving me totally confused.

Why would Mr Jones drive me to a hospital during school hours? I wondered just as the bell went signalling 5th period which happened to be my advanced English with an old hag of a teacher...

*******

The whole time in English was a bore. It felt as though time was slowing down, literally speaking.

A normal forty five minute period felt like in went on for double that.

At the end of class I grabbed my things as fast as I could and headed to the front with the rest of the class until the teacher stood in front of the door blocking the only way out...unless you were desperate enough to jump out the window...

"Sit back down everyone!" She ordered with her arms crossed in front of the door.

The boys at the front groaned and started swearing.

"Now!" She roared.

Immediately everyone scattered back to where they had previously been sitting.

"As you may or may not know during lunch time a fight broke out between a boy in your grade and a boy in the year above. I want to discuss with you all about how fighting is never the answer no matter what the situation is. Understand?" She yelled the last part earning nods from the entire class. "Now the boy that started the fight is getting in serious trouble and will probably be suspended if not expelled-" she went on while I among many other students sat there impatiently checking our phones every two seconds and sighing in annoyance since most of us either had free periods or were going to truant.

"-so keep what I just said in mind. Now get out of my class you're all twenty minutes late to your last period. And no I will not be giving any of you slips. Out, all of you!"

"Rude much." I muttered getting up again and being the first out of the door.

I didn't want to wait another half an hour or so before I could ask Mr Jones to take me to the hospital-assuming he would in the first place- so I speed walked to the Science staffroom hoping he was there.
