Since youve been gone

Chapter 5

Tristan's P.O.V

I woke up to my mom screaming something to my dad. Then I heard a pounding on my door.

"Mom! I'm up, what do you need?" I asked getting out of my bed. My thoughts went straight to last night. I walked over to my mirror but turned away instantly. I hate myself more than ever right now. My moms response snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Anthony is in the hospital get some clothes on we have to leave."

I didn't reply, I just grabbed some clothes and shoes. I got dressed, brushed my teeth and hair I skipped shaving I went downstairs to meet my parents.

We were in the car for 20 minutes before we finally arrived at the hospital. I was wondering what happened to put Anthony in the hospital.

We parked our car and jogged inside. Anthony's mom greeted us in the lobby. He wasn't crying or freaking out which meant he was alright, for the most part. We all gave her hugs an asked how she was doing.

"I'm better now, the doctor just said he should be fine in a few days," she said walking over to a chair.

"What happened?" I asked.

"He went to his friends house last night and he was going to start heading home around 11:30. His friends house is 30 minutes away so he would have been home around midnight. So when he didn't come home I called him, he didn't answer. I started to get worried because he always answers and he's almost never late."

We all nodded and she continued.

"I called his friend and he said that Anthony had left almost an hour ago. I told his friend, Kyle, that Anthony wasn't home and he wasn't answering his phone. Kyle said he would go and look for him. I hung up the phone and I decided I would go look around the neighborhood. But before I left the home phone rang. It turned out to be the police. They found Anthony's car flipped in a ditch a few minutes away from our house. He was stuck in the car and if one of the neighbors hadn't seen it he would have died and I wouldn't have a son right now."

I stood there shocked.

"Do they know who did it?" my mom asked.

"No, they're trying to figure it out but I don't think they will."

Just then another doctor came up to us.

"Hello, are you Anthony Christians mom?" he asked.

"Yes, why?" she asked, the worry evident in her voice.

"You are able to see him now. He's got a broken leg and fractured skull but he will be alright." he said looking at all of us.

My aunt smiled and the doctor brought us to his room. When we got there he was siting watching T.V. I saw him turn to look at us when the door opened. Once he saw who it was he smiled. We talked and made sure he was alright till visiting hours were over . I was really tired when we got home so I went straight to bed. I felt bad about saying no to seeing Alexis but I'm just not in the mood. Plus I don't want her to find out about my cuts.
