THE BOY NEXT DOOR

HOSPITAL & SCARED

Connor's POV
I was in the waiting room and my mom was outside calling Stormie. That's right. We took Aimee to the hospital.

She passed out earlier and we were thinking maybe it was the same thing that happened in Hawaii but she started shaking uncontrollably and we had no choice but to take her to the hospital.

She wouldn't stop. We kept trying to wake her up but nothing worked. We tried stopping her from shaking but that made it worst. She started screaming and screaming.

So that's why we're here. My mom walks back inside and I looked at her. "Anything?" She asked, with pleading eyes.

"No. They haven't said anything" I say.

"The Lynch's are on their way now except Ryland. He's at football practice!" My mom told me and I just nod.

"You want anything baby?" She asked, putting an hand on my thigh. I gave her a warming but fake smile. "No thanks" I say. I don't want her to see how miserable I am.

I don't want her to know how scared I am. For all we know, this could be something bad. It could even be something from the car accident even though it happened a few years ago. You never know.

I looked up not thinking that it's been 15 minutes already. The Lynch's came walking in and Rydel hugged me.

"I'm so sorry babe!" She says. Her voice cracked. You could tell she was upset. She was scared and I had to be there for her. I can't show her how scared I am.

I quietly wiped my tears away and pulled away looking at Rydel with tears streaming down her face. "Don't worry princess" I say, kissing her head.

In the corner of my eyes I saw Ellington giving me the death glare.

I just shrugged it off and hugged Rydel who needed me right now.

"Hey Riker! Can you pick up your brother from football practice!" Mark says, rubbing his head upset. "It doesn't end till 5:30 and it's 4" Riker says.

"I know but Ryland has to be here. He doesn't even know we're here!" Mark says. Riker just nodded not saying another word and left.
