I Don't Deserve Your Love

Chapter 27

Uneditted-Sorry.

"Cas, Vi's here wth Nancy." Madeline walks into the room with Nancy and Vi following.

"Hi Ryan." Vi says. Nancy runs up to Ryan and hugs him. I smile as memories of me and Naomi enter my mind.  I go to Vi and hug her. "You good?"

"Hmmm." I say yawning.

"You look tired. You do realise, you have school tomorrow." I groan.

"Cas, you can't just skip school and stay here all day." Madeline says. "Besides you can visit after school." She suggests. Ryan nods eagerly in agreement.

"I suppose." There's a knock on the door before the doctor walks in.

"I'm sorry to interrupt but I'm here to change his bandages."

"Of course." Madeline says.

"We should be going." Vi says looking at me while I roll my eyes. "Get well soon Ryan."

I quickly give Ryan a gentle hug before pecking his lips. "I promise, I'll be back tommorrow arvo." I was reluctant to leave, but I had to go at some point. "Love you." He nods smiling weakly.

I pick up my cricket bag from the ground before exiting the room. I cling onto Vi's arm. "I don't see why we had to leave now."

"Cas, you've been here for two days or so. You had to leave at some point. Besides, you stink. You haven't had a shower in forever." She crinkles her nose.

I laugh. "Whoops."

"The first thing you do when you get home is get in the shower. No buts." She says as I go to protest.

We reach the front reception and I see the same receptionist lady I was rude to. I lower my head in guilt as we exit the hospital, we reach Vi's Kombi. I hop in hesitantly.

"You gonna be okay Cas. The ride isn't too long."

"Umm. I'll be fine." I bite my lip as she turns on the engine. My fear was stronger especially after Ryan's accident. I close my eyes and just imagine Ryan telling me I'm okay.

His voice turns to Naomi's as I hear her talking.

'So since when were you naughty in class, aren't you usually a goody goody two shoes.' Naomi said. We turned onto the highway.

I gasped as if offended' No, I am a complete rebel...' CRASH!!!

I hear the crash echoing throughout my ears as I see Naomi's body which turns to an image of Ryan's sprawled out on the road. I yell out in panic opening my eyes and leaning forward into the seat.

"Cas." Vi puts one hand on my arm. "Do you want me to stop?"

"No." I breath out as I try to remove the image of Ryan from my head. "Just hurry."

A few more painful minutes later we reach home and I rip open the door. "Shower first." Vi calls. I groan but comply dragging my cricket gear up the stairs. I dump it in my room and go straight to the shower. I take a warm shower, scrubbing myself clean. I felt dirty from being in the hospital for that long. I rush out of the shower in my towel as I hear my phone ringing.

It was Emily. "Hey Em! What's up?"

"The sky." Drake replies in such a serious tone.

"For God's sake Drake." Emily's voice yells through the phone.

"Arghhhh."  Drake yells as I can hear a slapping noise.

I laugh. "Sorry, that was Drake. We're heading over to see Ryan as soon as school finishes. You gonna be there? We have homework and stuff to give you."
