The Kid in the Back

The Truth (kinda)

They arrived to the Hospital and were placed on a short waiting list.
The doctor called Saxon back and first took his weight and temperature. Then the Doctor directed Saxon to a room where he could sit.
Doctor-"So what happened here?"(he asked glancing over at Saxon while he put on some gloves)
Saxon-"I fell and hit my head on the ground..."
The doctor approached Saxon and removed the bloody towel he was holding against his head.
Doctor-"What did you say you hit your head on again?"(he asked examining Saxons head)
Saxons-"The ground..."
Doctor-"Was there anything on the ground you might've fallen onto?"
Saxon-"I don't think so?"
Alex-"Is everything ok?"
Doctor-"Yes! I just think there's something Saxon isn't telling us?"
Saxon-"Like what?"
Doctor-"How did you really hit your head?"
Saxon-"I told you, I hit my head on the ground."
Alex-"Saxon!"(he said giving Saxon a stern look)
There was silence.
Doctor-"Look, I know you didn't hit your head on the ground. So why don't you just tell me how you did?"
Saxon-"I seriously did hit my head on the ground! I mean I might've hit some metal too but I don't really remember?"
Doctor-"Metal?"
Saxon-"Yeah! At the skatepark."
Doctor-"How did you fall?"
Saxon-"I was going to do this trick, and next thing I knew I was at the bottom of the ramp."
Doctor-"You don't remember what happened?"
Saxon-"No."
Doctor-"Okay. Well we're going to patch you up real quick and send you on your way!"
Saxon-"Okay."
The doctor approached Alex in the corner of the room.
Doctor-"So along with the stitches in his head, it looks like he's suffered a mild concussion. He may not remember anything from today and he may be out of it for a couple days but he should be fine."
Alex-"Okay."
Doctor-"He also needs to stay away from skateboarding for awhile. We don't want him hitting his head again and possibly suffering any worse injury."
Alex-"Yes! Of course! I'll make sure the skateboard stays in the house!"
Doctor-"Good!"
The doctor then grabbed the necessary supplies to stitch Saxons head.
Doctor-"How ya feelin Saxon?"
Saxon-"Fine!"
Doctor-"You might feel alittle tug but this won't hurt at all."
Saxon-"Okay."
The doctor placed all 12 stitches in Saxons head, and then finished the last of the paperwork.
Doctor-"You guys are all good to go!"
Saxon slowly stepped down from the table.
Doctor-"Do you need some help out?"
Saxon-"No I'm fine."
Doctor-"Okay."
Alex-"Thanks again."
Doctor-"Of course. Be safe now!"
Saxon-"Will do!"
Alex assisted Saxon out to the car and they headed home.
When they arrived home, they quietly walked into the house, and Saxon plopped down on the couch.
Alex-"Hey bud, do you want to go up to your bed?"
Saxon mumbled and continued to lay on the couch. Alex got a blanket from the closet to cover Saxon in, and then he himself went up to bed.
The next morning everyone woke up at their normal times, but Saxon. Even though he slept on the couch, the noise from the rest of the family didn't wake him. He did eventually wake up when Lion crawled up to the couch and started touching his face. Saxon mumbled and slowly lifted his head. Malia walked over to the couch once she noticed Lion bothering Saxon, to find him awake.
Malia-"Oh I didn't know you were awake?"
Saxon-"I wasn't til now."
Malia-"Well I made breakfast if your hungry?"
Saxon slowly sat all the way up.
Saxon-"Why did I sleep on the couch?"
At that moment Alex, emerged from upstairs.
Alex-"That's just where you fell asleep after we got back from the hospital."(he said grabbing his coffee)
Saxon-"Hospital?"(he asked confused)
Alex-"Yeah. You had to go get your head stitched up..."
Saxon-"Oh. Is that why I feel like shit?"(he asked rubbing his head)
Spike gasped.
Spike-"Mommy, Saxon said a bad word!"
Malia-"I know honey, it's okay."
Spike-"Is he gonna get in trouble?"
Malia-"I don't know sweetheart."
Spike went back to eating his cereal and coloring.
Alex-"Do you want some Ibuprofen?"
Saxon-"No I'm good."
Saxon got up, suddenly became very nauseous, and then quickly walked to the down stairs bathroom where he puked.
After he emerged from the bathroom:
Alex-"You still good?"(he chuckled)
Saxon-"It's not funny..."( he mumbled as he held his stomach)
Alex-"I know, I'm sorry."
Then there was a knock on the door. Malia went to answer it and then called Saxon over. Once he saw Leslie standing in the doorway he stopped. Malia invited Leslie in and she approached Saxon.
Leslie scanned Saxon, noticing the stitches in his head. As she went to stroke his head, he turned away.
Leslie-"Look, I heard what happened and I just came over to say I'm sorry. I should've believed you from the start."
Saxon was silent, and Malia and Alex observed from the kitchen.
Leslie-"Can you at least acknowledge me?"
Saxon-"I think you should go."
Leslie-"But Saxon..."
Saxon-"Please leave..."
Leslie-"I don't understand?"
Saxon-"Why did you even come here?"
Leslie-"I told you I just..."
She was interrupted.
Saxon-"Yeah I remember!"
Leslie-"Well your kind of confusing me Sax?"
Saxon-"I don't need your charity!"
Leslie-"It's not charity. I care about you."
Saxon-"So that's why you waited til I really hurt myself to come over right?"
There was silence.
Saxon-"You knew I came to your house, and you refused to see me! Now you want to make things right? Now you believe me?!"
There was continued silence.
Saxon-"It doesn't work that way Leslie! You broke me . . . And I don't know how long it will take to fix that..."
Leslie-"I'm sorry."
Saxon gazed at her for a short time before heading up to his room, not saying another word.
Leslie looked toward Malia and Alex.
Leslie-"Thanks for letting me come over."
Malia-"Of course."
Leslie quietly left the house not knowing what to think. She knew Saxon was upset and that he wasn't feeling well, but it sounded like he really meant what he said. She couldn't blame him though, she knew how much their break up hurt him. I guess all she could do was go home and wait for him to contact her.
Malia and Alex weren't very shocked by the way Saxon reacted to Leslie's appearance. But they also knew, once he got better he'd want another chance to speak with her.
Malia-"I really thought Saxon would let her back in."
Alex-"He will just not now."
After talking with Leslie and walking up to his room, he felt so empty. He didn't feel like he had anybody. Along with the break up between him and Leslie, he'd been lying and ignoring his parents. He had so many emotions built up inside of him . . . Anger, sadness, guilt, confusion. He just needed to let them all go, and so he did. He cried for several minutes, before there was a knock on the door.
Alex-"Hey bud can I come in?"
Saxon quickly wiped away his tears, and took a deep breathe before allowing his dad to enter.
Alex entered the room and shut the door behind him.
Alex-"How's your head?"
Saxon-"It's ok I guess?"
Alex-"Doesn't hurt."
Saxon-"Besides the pounding headache, no."
Alex-"Okay."
There was a moment of silence as Alex sat on the edge of the bed, glancing back at Saxon;who was trying to avoid eye contact.
Alex-"Hey...Are you okay?"
Saxon-"Yeah, I just told you I feel okay."
Alex-"I'm not talking about your head this time. I want to know what's up with you."
Saxon-"Nothing..."(he sniffled)
Alex-"Sax? Come on? I know something's bothering you...You can talk to me."
Saxon buried his face in his arms, trying to hide the new tears streaming down his cheeks.
Saxon-"I'm sorry"(he mumbled)
Alex-"For what?"
Saxon-"For everything!"(he replied as he sat up)
Alex-"You haven't done anything wrong?"
Saxon-"Yes I have. I've been terrible to mom and in particular you."
Alex-"It happens Sax..."
Saxon-"Here we go again."(he said as he shook his head and rolled his eyes)
Alex-"What did I do?"
"Nothing just forget about it." Saxon said as he stood from the bed.
"Saxon I really want to talk to you." Alex said as he stood as well.
"What's the point in talking? You never listen to me." Saxon continued as he began to get dressed.
"That's not true. I'm listening right now." Alex stated.
"Wow, one time in the last 16 years. And dad of the year award goes to . . ." Saxon muttered as he walked out of the room.
Alex followed, "where are you going?"
"Doesn't matter." Saxon muttered again as he put his shoes on.
"It does matter and you're going to tell me right now!" Alex shouted.
Saxon stood face to face with Alex, "I'm leaving."
Alex went to grab his arm but Sax quickly pulled it away.
"Saxon!" Alex shouted out the front door.
Saxon ignored him and continued walking as he got a call.
"What happened? I thought you were going to talk to him?" Malia asked as she hugged Alex from behind.
"Didn't really work out." He replied.
"Just give him time, he'll come around." She said.
"Yeah, I hope." He said as he shut the door.

So this isn't exactly an update but it's something. I decided to change the end of this chapter because this way it gives me more to write about. I also changed up my writing style so it looks as reads more like a story and not a movie script! Haha! I've also been writing another fanfic about Steve having like 3 kids! If u guys would maybe want to see some of it let me know because I think it's one of my best stories yet! Gonna try to update again with a full length chapter (probably about Leslie) soon!
