Unpredictable

Chapter 9: System

Chad's POV:

I saw my mom's car in the driveway as I pulled in. I was not ready for this. I can't even imagine what my mom is going to say when I tell her that Brianna's in the hospital with a coma. I have been stalling for 3 days now. My mom thinks she is staying at Nathan's house because she got a little home sick. I grabbed my bag with my school clothes in it and got out of the car. I had just finished football practice. I walked inside my house.

"Mom I'm home" I yelled through the house.

"In the kitchen" she yelled back.

"What are you making" I asked walking into the kitchen.

"Food" she said.

"Wow. Way to state the obvious mom" I said.

"How was practice" she asked.

"Pretty good, but Caleb is struggling to concentrate" I said. It was true he couldn't stand being the reason that Brianna is in the hospital. I went to visit her as much as I could without my mom noticing.

"What's happening to him" my mom asked.

"He feels guilty for something that he did" I say.

"What did he do?"

"Oh he... put Brianna in the hospital" I say slurring the last part with a hand over my mouth.

"I'm sorry. Did you just say he put Brianna in the hospital" I nodded at her slowly. "I thought she was staying at Nathan's place because she was home sick"

"Yeah I... may have... lied about that" I say pausing a little bit in between.

"CHAD JUSTIN DAVIS" she screamed.

"I know I'm sorry" I said.

"Do you know what that does to us? Her being in the hospital" she says.

"I don't know"

"You do know she is still in the system right"

"No I didn't know that"

"You know what happens if they find out" my mom says.

"Of course I know what happens Katy I lost someone very important to me because of it" I yelled at her with a single tear running down my cheek. "If I would've known Brianna was still in the system I wouldn't have brought her to the hospital"

Yes I am keeping a secret. It was a very emotional period of my life. I can't tell anyone without bursting into tears. I just hope history doesn't repeats itself.

"Chad don't worry maybe we can get around it this time" she says.

"How can you be so sure?"

"Hope because I have hope" she said.

"OK well I'm going to be in my room" I said grabbing my bag.

"You going to be OK" she asked.

"Yeah I just need to think" I said and left.

When I got in my room I went to my bathroom and took a quick shower. Once I got out I put on some grey sweatpants and a random t-shirt. I dumped my bag empty and put spear clothes, some cash, and an extra pair of shoes in it. I grabbed my phone and put it in my pockets. I turned on my speakers in my room so my mom would think I would be doing something. I opened my window and left my house.

"Sorry Katy but hope is for suckers if I don't want history to repeat itself then I got to do it myself. Never trust the fucking system." I said as I grabbed my skateboard and skated to the hospital. The system could find out any day now that Brianna is in the hospital. "There is no way I am going to let those sons of bitches take my sister away."
