Chapter 4
Max was looking at me while i shook nervously. It's been 3 minutes since Hailey left and i'm starting to get really thirsty and my throat was getting dry. "Sir?" The lady at the front door asked. "Uh right here," Max said standing up. "She is allowed to have visitors now," The women said pointing down the hall. Me and Max started walking towards the where she was pointing when we heard Hailey behind us, "Hey! Are we allowed to visit her now?" She asked catching up to us. "Yeah, come on," Max said. We all walked down to room 151 A and knocked on the door. A small voice came from the inside, "Come in." Max opened the door and walked inside. Hailey walked in after but for some reason i couldn't work my legs. They wouldn't move no matter how hard i tried. Max came back up to me and reassured me that everything would be fine. He took my hand and helped me get the courage to walk inside.
There she was. My bestfriend was laying in a hospital bed. She was fast asleep. All these things were hooked up to her and you could hear her breathing. I felt like crying. She looked so peaceful but i knew that there was something wrong. I always knew when something was wrong with her. Her body layed still and Hailey was playing with her hair. Her eyes opened slowly and she whispered 'Tyler'. I walked to her and grabbed her hand, "He's at the police station," I said as she squeezed my hand. "No! He shouldn't be there," She started freaking out, "He didn't do it! He didn't shoot!". I looked at her weirdly, "What do you mean? He had the gun in his hand and he was running the other way," I said. She looked at me with a confused look on her face, "But he didn't shoot me. Chad did," She said. I looked at her in horror. I stumbled backwards. Max sat me down on the chair next to her bed. There were so many things running through my mind. I sat with her killer after she was lifted and carried away to the hospital. He could have killed me too.
Hailey handed me the water and told me to drink. I drank the water but it didn't help, i went into complete shock. Max told the nurse that Alyssa was awake and he helped me out of the chair. He walked me outside of the room and told me to speak to him. All i could say were a few simple words, "Chad shot Alyssa," I said looking into his eyes. I could see my reflection. I was pale and i looked like i was gonna puke. I was gonna puke. My stomach hurt and yet it was out of anger instead of anything else. "I need to go find Chad," i said turning around. Max stopped me, "No you can't do that. We will just go straight to the cops. Okay?". "No! I need to find him," I started walking towards the entrance to the hospital. I walked straight out the door and into the open street. I found the sidewalk and started walking. I didn't know where i was going or what i was doing but i knew i had to find Chad. I stopped walking and turned towards a house. On the mailbox was a name. The Johnson's. That was Chad's last name...
