A Gingers Crazy Love

23: surgery

*Dolan's pov*
I put on the news, after walking home from the studio. Girl in intensive care unit after a car crash said the headlines. It showed a picture of the person who was knocked down. She had ginger hair, like Sal, same freckled arms...then I realize! It is Sal. I turn off the t.v. I get in my car. I text Hellbent

Dolan Dude, do you wanna visit Sal with me in the hospital?
Hellbent Sals in hospital??
Dolan ya, she got in a car crash
Hellbent she ok?
Dolan idk, r u coming r not?
Hellbent sure, I'm at Comic con

I drive to comic Con. I hope she's ok Hellbent says as gets in the car. Melissa rings. I suppose your gonna visit Sal, am I right? She asks. Ya Hellbent replies. Well lemme tell you this...she deliberately walked in front of the car she says and clicks off.  Did you hear that? She walked in front of the car on purpose Hellbent says. I say nothing and continued driving to the hospital. We walk into Tolop. He's walking out the hospital. Where's Sal? Is she ok? Hellbent asks frantically. She was transferred to the intensive care unit He replies, sounding really out of character. I see Melissa walking across the car park. I frown at her. Why so glum, guys? She smiles. I sigh. Does she not get it? You visiting Sal too? She's my best friend she chirps and she waits for an elevator. Me and Hellbent follow. She takes out her phone. So right now I am visiting my best friend who is currently in hospital after a very sad and very devastating car accident she speaks. I take her phone and turn it off. Sal doesn't like you, ya know. And I understand why Hellbent hisses at her. She smacks him on the back of his head. We step out of the elevator. Alright, we are lost I say aloud. You new here? Which ward are you looking for? A doctor says as he passes us. Intensive care unit. Visiting a female who goes by the name of Sal Melissa chimes in before we open our mouth. Ah yes. She's very good looking. I'll show you the way, but I don't think she's up for visitors right now the doctor replies. Melissa opens her mouth again. Me and Hellbent stare at her and she closes her mouth. We follow the doctor. One at a time please he directs as he opens her door. Melissa bounds in. Me and Hellbent wait outside on the plastic orange chairs. They're very uncomfortable. Ugh, I need a soda Hellbent complains. He gets up and heads down the corridor. I close my eyes and try to imagine myself somewhere not here. Most people hate the smell but it's the color I can't stand. Orange. It's supposed to be a bright and cheerful colour but I dunno what's so cheerful about sitting on bright color in a place where people die. I hate hospitals complained Hellbent as he sat back down next to me. I nodded me too. Melissa walked out of the room. She's a bit moody, don't anger her she says as she sits in my chair as I get up. I go in. Hey Sal I chirp. She smiles at me. Don't look at my nose, it's so ugly she sobs through her hands. Why do you think that Sal? You're never ugly. I tell her back. Yes I am. It's funny once you've been called something you get used to it she cries as she straightens up. Was it Melissa's car that crashed into you? Tolop says it was I ask. I dunno, I don't pay attention to the cars she shrugs back. There's an awkward pause. I recommend you talk to Melissa and put some sense into her head. She told me she hates me and she wants to manipulate all of the squad, including you, to become her minions she says. She takes a sip of water. She throws her hand to her nose. The machine starts beeping. Sal falls down onto her pillow, blood starting to leak down her nose. A nurse from outside the corridor rushes in. Immediate surgery. I repeat, immediate surgery. I am documenting that I get urgent back up here she yells. What's going on? I ask. She ignores me and with the aid of a doctor, they start pushing her through multiple corridors. Hellbent gets up. Where the fuck are they taking her? He asks me, like I knew. Immediate surgery I reply. That's gotta hurt Melissa chimes, with something of a smile on her face. Thank you for making that statement...that absolutely no one cared about Hellbent replies. He runs up to the doctor. She is gonna be ok, right? He asks. We can't promise, but we hope The doctor replies as the nurse goes the directions to the surgery room. Hope? She's playing with her life. It isn't truth or dare he yells back. Sir, if you continue yelling, security will have to escort you outside The doctor responds calmly. Hellbent goes leaning against the wall.

*Hellbents pov*
I lean against the wall as I see them going through the hallways. I put my hands over my face and breathe. Dude, she'll be ok Dolan tells me, patting my shoulder. I hope so. A old woman passes us. You waiting to be treated? She asks. No, we're waiting for a friend I reply. A nurse comes up to her. Don't mind her, she's getting treated. We'll have you out of hospital in no time she chirps and takes the old woman's elbow in her hand. You're in hospital? Hope they're treating you right The old woman says. Dude, I gotta go. Want me to ring anyone for you? Dolan says. I look at the time. One thirty. I shake my head and he leaves. I get up and walk to the canteen. What can I get you? The server chirps. I turn on heel and leave. I go to the waiting room. I wait there for two hours. *Tick tock tick tock* now it's three hours. I hope Sal is ok. What are you in here for? I heard Sal needs surgery says Tolop as he sits next to me. I'm concerned for her. A doctor comes in. Tolop and Hellbent? He asks. Me and Tolop get up. Sal is alive. Just be careful of her nose and right arm he says. Sal comes up behind him. I still need an ultrasound, though she says. Who's the father? He asks as Sal starts making her way to the room. Tolop starts walking. They both go into the room.  They come out five minutes later. Dude, I don't care what anyone says, I'm making an appearance at school tomorrow she argues back to Tolop. They obviously had an argument going out the room.

*I'm gonna skip to the next day, Tuesday, in the next chapter, be prepared, alright*
