The Average Life of an Orphan

Chapter Six

CHAPTER 6

"Hump." I snorted. Hospital my ass, this was a dump. I shook my head, I'm hear for a different reason.

Don't get your priorities mixed up Sam, right now all that matters is saving Malory.

My new flats clicked on the hospital tile echoing through empty hallways. I had a new confidence in me, burning like a fire. This happened for a reason, just like everything and I was going to get through this, but that doesn't mean I can't shed a few tears. My vision blurred, I blinked it down but it came up, taking control of me.

Jake made fists over and over with his hands, his ripped arms being on display. My eyes wandered to his back where his lose shirt clung to his shoulder blades. At least that's one thing I can appreciate now.

Ugh priorities Sam!

I scoffed this isn't fair. My

parents are dead, my sister is dying and I can't even take time to enjoy a nice guy with a hot body.

I shook my head.

Room 120

...

Room 121

...

Room 122

Ugh, Malory is in room 234- Children's ICU.

By the time we arrived at the small room my feet were aching, but my heart beating with excitement and possibility.

At first glance you would think the room was empty, like I did, but a small figure was huddled in the corner of the room on top of a small bed.

Malory.

I took a deep breath

This was it...

Wait no, who Am I kidding? She's in a fucking comma nothing's going to happen

I am weak, I am falling apart, my body seemed to know this. A tear snuck out the corner of my green eye and a shudder passed through my body.

What if she never wakes up? I can barely handle being without my parents, but what about when I'm alone?

My thoughts vanished as Jake grabbed for my hand. Our skin met and I could feel the sparks. I glued my eyes to the floor. Oh gosh what do I do?? My heart was having a panic attack. Is this what a heart attack felt like? Im pretty sure.

Sam you can't like him he's technically your brother now! That would be incense!

I guess that would be pretty wrong... but then again what's to lose?

I held my breath, deciding then pulled my hand out from Jake's, our hands briskly touching as he slipped away. His warm presence faded as he took a small step away. I walked toward Malory, glancing back at his blazing red face.

Oh Sam, why do you have to ruin all the fun possibilities with that stupid voice in your head!

Ugh there it goes again!

I reached out my shaking hand, wet with beads of sweat. I saw the subtle rising and falling of her chest. Her favorite stuffed animal, a giraffe named Spot, lay in her white arms. I pushed the hair covering her forehead to the side, and revealed a white bandage. I stifled a sob, this machine attached to her mouth is the only thing keeping her breathing.

I fell to my knees laying my head on the edge of her bed. My back arched and a sob pushed at my lips and escaped as a muffled scream. What do I have to live for?

I gasped for air, only sucking in my own hair, drenched in tears. I sensed Jake standing behind me.

He laid his warm hand on the small of my back and a shiver ran down my body, yet another sob escaping my lips.

His hands felt extremely close to my bum and I twitched. Didn't he know he was only making it worse? I stood up and he hand slip off my back, grazing my side.

I took in a shaking breath and walked out, away for Malory, away from Jake, away from all of this shit.
