Lost Boy; C.h.

-24-

*Michaels POV*

"All I wanted was to pee." I whispered in the ambulance. I found Calum on the bathroom floor covered in his own blood, he looked dead. I called help and now we're on the way to the hospital.

They already patched him up with temporary bandages. But they have to do heavy duty disinfecting and shit. Maybe an IV to restore some bodily fluid he lost. I'm not 100% but I heard a nurse say something like that. I do know he lost a lot of blood.

We reached the hospital and I jumped out of the ambulance as soon as I could. I waited for them to carry him out. I fidgeted nervously, looking down at him once more.

They pushed him in the room. One of the people yelled something towards another, but I faded it out. Too scared to pay attention. Tears heavily poured out of my eyes. They wouldn't let me in the room right away. I didn't know what they were doing.

It felt like 5 years before they let me in. I almost tripped rushing into his hospital room. I sat on the chair slowly, my eyes not leaving him. He had bandaged wrists from his wrist to elbow on both arms, but still had an IV attached to hims. I took a deep breath.

He'll be okay I thought. I paused and though again, more worriedly.

He'll probably be okay.

I was scared for him. Too scared I didn't even think to call the others. I sat there until he opened his eyes.

I sighed in relief.

"Hey mike." He said, below a whisper.

"Hi, Cal." I said, I looked down at my lap, where I played with my fingers.

"Why'd you do it?" I asked and he sighed.

"I saw... I saw her kissing someone else." He said. Even quieter than before. Below a whisper.

"Calum! You can't do that before you know the facts!" I whisper shouted, and he seemed slightly startled.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"Yes they kissed, but he forced it upon her. He's basically our tour guide friend we made yesterday. She didn't want it. Trust me." He looked slightly surprised.

"You don't know that."

"Yes I do." I said with all honesty.

"Well." He slightly chuckled. "I feel kinda stupid now." He said. I sadly laughed along with him. We had a good talk, followed by a minute of silence. Silent until he broke it.

"I miss her so much, Mike." He said. Saying that broke my heart. I'm the reason she broke up with him. So in a way, is the reason he did this.

He broke down, and as soon as I had this realization, I broke down too.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry." I said. We sat there crying like babies until we gathered ourselves together.

"Hey, Cal?" I asked quietly.

"Hm?"

"I, uh, I know this is a sensitive topic. But if you ever wanna date my sister again, I won't stop you. You have serious feelings for each other, and I'm sorry I was too stupid and too blind to see that."

He stayed quiet.

"I'll be back." I said, getting up and leaving the room. I texted all of our friends to come see us.

*Ryans POV*

Everybody was downstairs at our cabin, minus Calum and Michael. We came to the conclusion that they were in their rooms, so we left it alone.

"Ryan. What's your opinion?" Luke asked me,

"About what?" I asked. I wasn't paying attention.

"Could you please tell Ashton, that Mike Tyson could totally beat his ass?"

I laughed at the stupidity.

"Yes Ashton, he could beat your ass."

"What? How?" He asked, looking honestly shocked.

"Are you kidding me? He's only the most intimidating boxer I know." I said. Ashton sighed as Luke pulled up a video of one of his matches.

"Fine." He said.

I laughed at him, then Luke joined. Then Every person here's phone rang once. We shared a look, then looked at the text.

From Mikey:

Guys, you need to get to hospital now. Calum cut himself, and it's really fucking serious.

My eyes widened. I looked at my friends for a split second, and bolted out the door. I grabbed my keys and got in the rentals driver seat. It was big, and no one was far behind. So they all got in before I started the engine and left.

Savanna sat shotgun, and I noticed her texting. Probably to the group chat.

When we reached a red light, I quickly checked my phone.

From Safari : We're on the way Mike.

From Mikey: Savanna, is Ryan coming.

From Safari: Yeah, she's driving.

I turned off my phone, and looked back up at the still red light. When it turned green, I went exactly the speed limit. It's the fastest I can go with out getting in trouble. If I got pulled over, that would take way too much time.

We got there, and I parked. We all crawled out. I locked it and we ran into And the building.

"Calum Hood." I said as I reached the front desk. The man typed in his name.

"305." He said with his deep voice. I nodded and we all took off running to his room. We did slow slow down when we got there. Ashton turned the door knob slowly, and we walked in even slower. I felt like crying. He had completely bandaged forearms on each side, and had an IV attached. I found out he had it because he was severely dehydrated, and he lost a lot of blood. The IV will keep him stable.

Calum was out cold, so he looked somewhat peaceful. I pulled a chair up by his bed. I held his hand softly. A tear rolled down my cheek. I squeezed my eyes shut.

"I'm sorry." I whispered, realizing that it's my fault he did this. I couldn't forgive myself. And there's no way in hell he will either. Unless he's really messed up.
