Chapter 16: Hospitalized

Matt Hendricks

I feel completely great in the sense that I could throw myself off a cliff. I thought she'd end up the things between us and feel completely fine with it because she wants me out of her life but she's the exact opposite. She cried and I hugged her. I realized that Megan also has feelings. Fragile ones that in just a touch, it will collapse and be broken.

Right now I'm lying in my bed at 3 o'clock in the morning, doing nothing but just staring at the ceiling. I just got home after having a movie marathon with my girlfriend in which she insisted that we should watch Frozen. I completely loved the movie and it was worth it. And then suddenly my phone beeped signaling that someone's calling me.

Megan

"Hello? Love?" I said as I answered the call. What came into Meg's head to call me at this hour?

No response. And then it beeped. She ended the call.

Wait, why would Megan be awake at 3 am? Maybe she's just sleepy that her hands flickered to her phone and accidentally dialed me. Yeah?

I am so not good at reasoning.

I just set aside the worry and just slept. I don't know how long I slept but I just woke up to the sound of somebody banging my door.

What the actual fuck?

"Paul Matthew! Open the goddamn door!" I sit up as soon as I heard my sister Pristine's screams and yells. I feel like I must dump her head in the aquarium downstairs. Seriously, Pristine? You are a noisy sister.

I have 3 sisters-- Yep, sisters. Girls. That makes me a loner because I, Paul Matthew Hendricks, am the only male except my father. Well, what can I do? I can't just run to my parents and ask them if they could make me a little brother, right? Because if I did at this very age of mine, they'd tell me to just make mine. Are they tired of doing it? Wait, what? But anyways, I love Pristine Maria, Phoebe Mattia and Patria Melody heaps. Altogether, we are a perfect match just like a Megan and I. I sound like a lost in love puppy. I don't care, so what if I'm like a lovesick puppy? Do you have any complaints with that? None? Then that's settled. But now, I have to go and tell Pristine to shut the fuck up and skedaddle, or I'd shoot myself.

"What do you want?!" I yelled back.

"Just open the door for freak's sake!"

"Okay!" So I grumpily strode to the door and hastily opened it revealing my sister who has the words panic and horrific written on her face.

"What?!" I whisper-yell as soon as she makes eye contact with me. Whatever time it is now, it is an ungodly hour for me. Probably because the call of sleep is still calling me and it won't let me be awake.

"Megan'sinthehospital!"?Pristine mutters faster than her normal talking voice. I didn't understand a thing. My dear sister is panicking.

"Slow down a bit, will you?" I scolded her which resulted to an eye roll.

"How can I freaking calm down when your girlfriend is in the hospital?!" And now I understood. It's just as if the god of awakedness slapped me back to reality. Did somebody just pour ice cold water over me?

"Wait, what?"

"You heard me."

"Which hospital?"

"The nearest to their house? How am I supposed to know?!"

"Whatever, I'm going!" I grabbed my car keys and then grabbed my jeans. After putting my jeans on, I drove myself to the nearest hospital to Megan's house. When I entered the hospital, I feel my knees weaking. My Megan is here. What if she's dead on arrival? God. No! I can't lose her yet. Yeah, I know about her Cardiomyopathy. What could have possibly triggered her heart to be in this situation now?
