I Can't Believe my Eyes!

Chapter 5

Chapter 5 (Tommy's POV)

 

I was driving to the hospital with Samantha sitting in the passenger side looking nervous. Mom was coming home with the Taylor’s when a semi truck hit them. The truck hit the semi head on causing the truck to basically fold in half. Mom had been the one driving with Daren in the passenger side. They were the one’s that were crushed the most and suffered from major injuries. Charlotte and Steve were knocked unconscious but woke up yesterday and were now only contacting us. Mom was waking up but Daren was unconscious when Charlotte told me what happened. Apparently Daren suffered more major injuries then my mom. My mom could have died and I would never have known.

 

I stopped Samantha's car. Samantha jumped out of the car and ran to the hospital entrance. I turned the car off and ran after Samantha. We got in the entrance and with my luck Cassandra was working. She came around the counter. She gave Samantha a hug and whispered something to her. Cassandra handed Samantha a white piece of paper. She then looked up and saw me. Cassandra gave me a glare that only Samantha has ever given me. The death glare.

"How are they?" Samantha asked.

 

"Chantel is awake right now and was asking for you and for Daren. Well he’s still unconscious and could possibly die but he’s strong," Cassandra spoke as softly as she could.

 

"What! No!" Samantha broke into sobs.

 

Cassandra lead Samantha down the hall. I followed them. Samantha went into a room with Daren and her family in it. I followed Samantha into the room.

 

Charlotte looked at Samantha's broken arm, "What happened to your arm?"

 

"It doesn't matter right now. How is he?" Samantha looked at Steve and not her mom.

 

"He's still unconscious but there is a possibility that he might die. Chantel though is awake and was asking for you, " Steve told us.

 

"Can I see her?" I asked.

 

"Not yet the doctor still hasn’t given us the okay yet," Charlotte told us kindly.

 

"What happened exactly?" Samantha asked abruptly.

 

"Well you see it was snowing quite heavily and nobody could see the road. A semi came into our lane and we couldn’t stop in time. The semi hit us causing the front of the truck to be completely wrecked. Chantel and Daren were in the front seat. Daren’s side was crushed the most with causing severe injuries and loss of blood. Chantel though didn’t suffer as major and might live. Though there is a possibility that they both might die, " Steve told us the whole story.

 

"OMG! No!" Samantha started to cry.

 

An awkward silence filled the room. Charlotte kept on glaring at Samantha. I couldn't understand what the problem was between Samantha and her mom but I had a feeling that her mom didn't like her that much. Samantha was sitting beside Daren holding his hand and crying. I looked at Steve and saw that his right eye was slightly bruised and had a half cast on his wrist. Charlotte looked about the same but had a cast that went up farther and was in a sling. I wish I could say that same about Daren but he was hooked up to different machines and had tubes coming out og his mouth, nose and amr. He had a cast that went up to his knee on his left foot and on the right he had a cast that was around his ankle. His left hand was also in a cast and he had a neck brace on. Daren’s face was also messed up with bruises and cuts. I was kind of scared to see what Mom looked like.
