So Quiet You Were

I Can't Believe You Said That

~Kayla's POV~

I looked at Dalton." I have to go to the hospital." I said and jumped off the couch and ran to my room to get some shoes on and to wake Stephanie up. I took her headphones out and told her to wake up.

"Whats wrong?" She asked sleepily. "Riley's conditioned has changed, not good." I said quickly running to my boys' room to tell them. Stephanie jumped out of the bed and slipped into her slippers and ran to the front door to be ready for when we left. A few minutes later I had Lance, Blake, Jake and Slade up and ready to go to the hospital. The bands even wanted to come along once they found out what was happening. Everyone piled into the four cars we had at the mansion and I was about to shut the door to the car I was in but Dalton jumped in at the last second. 

"I want to be there for you." He simply said. I smiled and nodded as we made the hour drive to the hospital.

~Daltons POV~

I was glad Kayla trusted me enough to tell me about what happened to her friend Riley. I actually had to hold back a few tears as she was telling me the story. I just wanted to hold her the whole time. But I waited until she was finished then gave her a huge hug and I didnt want to let go. I had to eventually though because her phone started to ring. Stupid phone. She gasped when she looked at it and I knew it wasnt good. I only heard her part of the conversation, but it didnt sound good. When she hung up I asked her what was wrong.

"Rileys condition has changed..its not good." Was all she said. She then told me she had to go to the hospital. She ran to her room and I sat there for a minute processing what she said. Riley cant get worse. He needs to be here. So many people love him. I got up and ran to the front door so I could be ready to go to the hospital with her. I wasnt going to let her face this again without someone she could confide in. 

By the time I was ready to go, everyone else was as well. It was cool that all the bands, including mine, wanted to go as well. I ran to the car Kayla was in and told her I wanted to be there for her. She smiled and nodded and moved over so that I could sit next to her. I held her hand the whole way to the hospital."

When we arrived at the hospital, we all got out of the cars and ran to the entrance. When we walked in the front desk lady just nodded to us. She knew the boys and I visited Riley as much as we could and she must of heard about his condition changing. It took three elevator rides until we all got to the floor where Riley was. His parents were already there. His mom was crying of course and his dad was hugging her. He nodded at us as we walked down the hall. Lance and Slade went to to talk to the doctor while the bands said in the waiting room and Jake, Blake and I went to talk to Riley's parents. 

"So, what exactly is going on?" Blake aske Riley's father.

"The doctor said his heart rate went down and that its possible he sunk deeper into his coma." He said while tears streamed down his cheeks. I went to get him some tissues from the waiting room where I was ambushed by the band members asking me what was wrong. I told them what Riley's dad told us. They sat back in their seats and tried to proccess the information. It was hard to process. 

I went back to Riley's parents and handed them the box of tissues. 

"So, have you gotten to see him?" I asked them. They said the doctor would let him have visitors if his condition got better within the next few hours. Blake's phone began to ring so he went to the waiting room to answer it. Jake and I stayed with Riley's parents. We began to talk about anything just to keep our minds off of what was happening. When Blake returned, he was smiling. 

"What?" Jake asked.

"All Time Low is on their way!" The Late Nite Reading boys poked their heads around the corner.
