I stood there wide eyed.
Did I really just hear what I think I just heard?
Who was that?
Why would they say that?
Then it all started to fit together, my parents disappearing, my cousins getting hurt. Aaron wanting me to be protected .Aaron, he knew? My mind was going crazy with everything I didn't even notice the officer call my name.
"Leighton?" he said
"Huh? Oh I'm sorry I'm just .... Did you say something? I asked
"I asked if everything is okay you looked pretty shaken up after that call" he answered suspicious.
I looked up at him debating whether I should tell him or not
"Everything s fine" I said.
He smiled and nodded his head "We better get going then"
I nodded my head in response. As we started walking outside, I could see the stares from the other students. As I was escorted into the police car, but I didn't care I needed to get to the hospital. As soon as the door closed we sped off. I was taking deep breaths
It's going to be okay there going to be okay, I was reassuring myself. I felt pretty confident too but that was only till we arrived at the hospital. I felt my heart drop and my breathing speed up. Without even thinking I ran into the hospital my eyes filling with tears. Aaron and Chase were the only things going through my mind. The police officers caught up to me and started leading the way.
My nails were digging through my skin and I was biting my lip trying to control myself. Both the officers turned and looked at me when they reached door I took a deep breath and walked through them. I stood there in shock. I could see Chase lying there, he wasn't moving just breathing. He looked so pale so fragile. I could see the bruises on his face the cuts on his mouth I couldn't move I just stood there looking at him.
No I thought he's okay he's going to be okay
Tears were flowing down my face faster now. I can't do this I thought and I ran out of the room just then I saw a bed being brought towards the room and I caught my breath.
"AARONN" I screamed and ran to him but only to stop a metre away
He looked so...his face was band-aided up, it was pretty bad. His face was red and swollen he had bruises all over his body and scratches everywhere. He had a cast on one of his arm and there was a huge scratch under his eyebrow. I just stood there looking at him. He was unconscious and not moving the nurse stopped moving the bed and walked over to me.
"He should be awake soon would you like to wait"
I was barely listening to her. Tears were still flowing down my face and I couldn't stop them. If my cousins are hurt this bad imagine my parents? Aaron and Chase got help; they were brought to a hospital. My parents weren't found, I don't even know if they're alive. What if they aren't? The cop said there was blood everywhere, lots of blood to much blood. I couldn't take it anymore.
I can't be here right now. I ran out of the hospital so fast I didn't even bother answering the nurse. I just kept running I need to go somewhere...Somewhere other than here. I can't deal with this not now, not yet. I started running faster and my vision blurred from the amount of tears that I was crying.
I need to go somewhere where there are people I can't be alone; I don't want to be alone. Before I knew where I was going I realized I was back at the school. I stood there debating if I should go in or not but I decided I would. I wiped my tears away and entered into the school I could see people looking at me.
