Adopt a Yognaught

Chapter 28

Everything is planned out. This time, since Simon, Lewis, and Duncan are busy this weekend, Hannah and Kim were picking us up and taking us to the hospital to drop off the laptop. At first, I didn't think that is was fair that Jelly, Mino and Crystal got to see the other three members along with the two that are coming to the hospital with us, until they told me that Taylor's favorite Yogscast member was Hannah. We decided it was fair that she could meet her favorite member, and chose a time. 

I was to head out to pick up the three of them with Hannah and Kim at around two o'clock. Then we head a to the hospital with the laptop, and see Taylor there. We talk for a while, then go home. That was the plan, along with time afterwards that we all play Minecraft together. I couldn't wait for Saturday. 

As Saturday approached, not much happened. Simon, Lewis, Hannah, and a few more Yogscasters planned a party for me. I didn't expect them to, but they are. I think they're planning on it being a surprise, but it's not going to be a surprise if they don't quiet their voices down when I'm in the other room. 

All my friends wished me an early birthday, and I thanked them. Luke also wished me a happy birthday, and when he said it, there was a glint of mischeif in his eyes. Then he blinked it was gone. 

When it was Saturday finally, I woke up earlier than Simon. I paced around the floor in the living room until he woke up, and he was pretty surprised I was up already. 

We were going to pick everyone up after noon. It was an hour until noon, and even when I was ready with the wrapped laptop, it wasn't for a while that we were leaving. I tried to distract myself with the tele, but I couldn't concentrate on the shows. 

When noon finally rolled around, I was ready when there was honking outside. I waved by to Simon as I got in the car with Hannah and Kim. 

"Where do we pick the others up?" Kim asks from the passengers seat. 

"Here," I hand them the list of addresses, and we drive off. 

About twenty minutes later, I'm in the car with my three, hyper and fangirling friends, and we're headed to the hospital. 

"Oh my god!" Crystal says. "Hi Hannah and Kim! Your awesome!" 

"Thanks, your awesome, too." Hannah says. Crystal's smile couldn't get any wider, or else it would crack her face. 

We drive into the hospital's parking lot, the same one I woke up in after the kidnapping. Hospitals still gave me the creeps; the overly nice doctors, the dark corners, the too clean enviroment. But I ignore these things as we walk down the halls, towards the waiting room. 

Hannah and Kim talk to the nurse at the desk, and then motions for us to follow them down a hallway. I hook arms with my friends, Hannah carrying the laptop case, and we sort of skip down the hallway. 

Hannah and Kim stop at a door, and then realizing what we were doing, gave us a weird look. We all burst out laughing, making a few doctors and nurses shush us. We cover our mouths with our hands and walk into the hospital room. 

Our giggles and good mood is ruined at the sight. Taylor's bruised body lay on a hospital bed, her eyes closed. Her hair is spread around her head, the only good color that's on her. She has a black eye, a split lip, and yellow bruises up and down her arms. One of her legs is propped up and wrapped in a cast, and you can just fainly see the outline of bandages across her abdomen underneath the hospital gown. There's also an IV hooking to her arm. 

Her green eyes open as we enter the room, and she gives a faint smile and a weak wave. We wave back, trying to hide our pity and remorse with a smile.
