The World Will Never Be The Same

chapter 19

Alex's POV
-----------------------------------------------------------

     "Wait, what?" I knew what the Martha, professor Washington's wife, had said, but I didn't want to believe it. "He had a heart attack?"
     "Yes," Martha sobbed from the other line, "we're in the ambulance now. Meet us at the hospital." I grabbed my coat and ran out of my dorm to catch a cab. The ride to the hospital seemed to take an eternity, but I finally arrived. I rushed inside to see Martha. Standing next to her were Peggy, Sarah, and Lily, all crying.
     "They just took him in for an emergency bypass surgery," said  Sarah. She seemed less upset than the others. She must've been trying to hold it together for her sister's sake. I sat down, tears now streaming down my face, and put my arm around Martha, who was absolutely broken. I gently patted her shoulder as she cried. Then Thomas walked in.
     "Why are you here?" I said as he walked into the waiting room.
     "I was close to him, too, you know," he said angrily, "not as close as you two were, but close." He sat down next to me and I glared at him.
     "Move," I said, anger rising into my voice, "I don't want you anywhere near me."
     "I told you, I did nothing," retorted Thomas, his voice still furious.
     "You fucking cheated on me, Thomas," I said, now yelling at him, "I wouldn't exactly call that nothing!"
     Peggy grabbed both of us by our collars and pulled both of us out of the hospital. "Listen up," she screamed at us, "we're not here to hear you two argue, so you have three choices. Either you can make up, shut up, or leave. Martha and the kids don't need this right now. I'm going back inside, so make your decisions." With that, she left us outside, staring awkwardly at each other.

Thomas' POV
-----------------------------------------------------------

     I grabbed Alex's arm before he could march back inside. "Listen, I know you're mad," I said quietly, "but all I'm asking is that you listen." He turned to face me, so I continued.
     "I promise, Alex, I didn't kiss James. He kissed me, and I tried to get away, but couldn't. Those texts were probably photo shopped by Aaron, you know how much he hates you. I love you Alex, pleas don't ever forget that."
     He ran to my arms, tears flooding both of our eyes. "I forgive you," he whispered, and we walked back inside, hand in hand, no longer broken up.
     "I see you chose the first option," laughed Peggy, her eyes flickering down to our hands then back to our faces, "now sit down and help Martha." We sat down and spoke softly to Martha, who was no longer crying but looked heartbroken. We sat there for five hours before we got any news.
     "The Washingtons?" Said a nurse. We all rushed over so quickly we almost knocked her over. She just smiled up at us. "He's okay."
    Martha broke down in tears of joy. "You can see him now. He's in recovery," said the nurse. We all nodded and walked into the hospital room. Martha ran to Washington's side and grabbed his hands.
      "George I swear to god if you ever scare me like that again I will kill you before the heart attack can." He just laughed and gently squeezed her hand.
     "Yes ma'am," he said, then turned to me and Thomas, seeing how close we were standing to each other. "I take it you two are back together?"
     We nodded, smiles spreading across our faces. "I knew it," he said, "if you thought I was going to die before you two made up, then you have another thing coming. You can't kill me that easily."
     We all laughed and enjoyed theoment, relief and happiness filling the air of the small hospital room.
