Give It A Chance

•10•

I sat there confused until a doctor walked in.

"I see you're feeling better?" he asked. I tried to read his name but all i could make out was Mr.
Gil-L-E, so I just referred to him as "doc", he didn't seem to mind.

"Excuse me, what happened exactly?" I asked firmly.

"Well, you have a friend named Will right?". I nodded my head slowly.

"Will started yelling. Uh something about how he could never make it up to "her", or that everything was his fault. I couldn't hear him very clearly. You walked in on him throwing glasses, he was aiming at the door. And the same door you walked in, can you see where I'm going?"

I started at him, waiting for him to say more.

"I'm guessing you're still not clear, well let's put it this way. Will threw a glass, and that glass happened to hit you. You got a serious concussion. You just woke up from your coma, it's been 6 days."

I tried opening my mouth, but no words came out.

The doc had told me my parents were in the waiting room. All I wanted to do was to go home, I couldn't be here anymore, not with the Cube, not with Will or Poke, not with anyone.

***The next day***

The gash on my leg turns out was from when I fell. My leg hit a large shard of glass, piercing into my leg. It was bandaged now, but very sore. I tried to look on the bright side, I was able to leave the hospital today. Will had left before me, he had only been shot once, missing his heart by inches. And my opinion had changed. What did I come here for? The Cube. And what am I not A PART of? The Cube. I decided I was going to stay here, my parents would fly home tomorrow, and everything would be back to normal..hopefully.

I was given crutches, bandage wrap, and a sheet of paper that needed to be signed if a wheelchair was needed. I wrote my signature and gave the sheet to my dad. He checked off boxes, wrote side notes, and handed it to the secretary.

I got into my dad's car and he took me to the house. My parents hugged me tightly then drove back to the airport. I forced my way up the steps.

"A little help here?" I asked.

"LILY!!" They all said in unison.

"Yes, yes, just help me!" They came over to me and started making space. Then Will did something which thought was "helping". I guess he hadn't seen the GIANT GASH on my leg before he swooped me up and carried me across the door mat.

I screamed in pain.

"WILL MY LEG!" He put me down instantly. My crutches were with Brayden, and I was left sitting on the floor. He looked at me hard, then ran into his room.

Everyone came over to help me up, I thanked them then hopped my way over to the counter to put my bandage wrap down.

"I'm going to check on Will". I mumbled and started on.

A hand grabbed my shoulder. It was Brayden's.

"After what he just did? You're going to go check on him? He should be checking on you! What a-"

"Brayden, Shh!" I heard sobs coming from Will's room. Me and him both went over and opened the door. Just as I expected, he was sitting there isolated, wiping his tears with his sleeve.

"Uhm Will, why are you...?"

He turned to me and screamed.

"GET OUT!!" I've never been more confused.

"ALL I HAVE EVER BEEN TO YOU WAS A NUISANCE. I KEEP CAUSING PROBLEMS FOR YOU AND I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.
IF I AM YOUR FRIEND AND HAVE EVER BEEN YOUR FRIEND, I CAN'T DAMAGE YOU THIS MUCH!"

I looked at him in utter shock. Instead of leaving, I sat down next to him. I wiped a tear off his cheek with my thumb.

"Will..I-I don't know..wha-"

"I am so sorry..I can't believe I just did that." he muttered a swear under his breath. "I just thought you hated me, like first I cause you to have a serious concussion that leads into a coma, THEN I hurt your leg even more which you didn't even-"

I didn't want to hear him talk like that anymore, so I did what I had to do.

I kissed him. "Kissing", I say, "a good way to shut people up". He smiled and hugged me tight. Then I remembered Brayden was right behind me.

•B R A Y D E N•

She just kissed him..in front of me. My heart shattered to pieces. Will was right, he did cause all of this. He didn't deserve Lily, not after everything that happened.
