When Everything Changed

Chapter:2

~3months later~

"Skyler! Wake up!" I woke up, sitting in the chair next to Noah. It was Noah's friend, Ryan. He had be staying with me, every since he came to visit and saw how depressed I was. "What is it Ryan?" "It's Noah! Look!"

I couldn't believe it, he was awake! "I'll go get the nurses" said Ryan as he ran into the hallway. I rushed to my brother's side, and started to cry.

When Ryan came back in, he was almost trampled by the team of nurses who came in carrying charts and monitors. They pushed me aside, and I ran to the hallway, into Ryan's arms. "It's okay now, It's okay." he said as I cried in his arms. I don't know if it was tears of joy, or if I was scared for what would happen next.

We sat in the hall as the nurses worked on Noah. It was almost an hour before a nurse came out and told us that we could go in and see him, but there was something that we needed to talk to first. "The doctor would like to talk to you. He is waiting down the hall in his office.

The door seemed like it was getting futher away I stead of closer, as we walked towards it. "Come in. Please have a seat." There was only one chair, so Ryan stood behind me. "We need to talk about your brother. He has went through a lot, and from what I have heard, you have too." I shook my head yes, and he went on. "We are going to keep your brother over night, and if everything goes well, he can go home in the morning. Do you have anyone that can stay with you, at least until your brother gets back the hang of things?" I thought of my parents, and how I would have to do things on my own now, until Noah got better. "Well..." I looked up at Ryan who was looking down at me, shaking his head yes. "Yes, I will be staying with her until things get back to normal.

The word normal, had no meaning to me anymore. There was never going to be a normal day again in my life.

"Okay then, you can go see your..." Before he could finish Ryan and I were already in Noah's room. We ran to his bed, where he was being unhooked from just about every hospital machine known to man.

"Are, are you, are you okay?" My voice was shaking, because I was afraid that the answer would be, who are you?

But of course, my brother's first words were, "Skyler, why aren't you and Ryan dating yet?"

We all let out a big laugh. "Well, well, well." said Ryan "seeing that pretty smile of yours, sure does make me wonder the same thing Sky!"

I just blew the who thing off, since the two were always joking about Ryan and I dating. But every time they did joke about it, it made me like Ryan a little bit more each time.
