Don't Let Go (A Connor Ball / Tristan Evans Fan-fiction)

Chapter 12 - This Is Only The Start

Chapter 12

James POV

"Well I'm afraid it has turned out to be a blocked artery".

Those words rattled around in my head.

"What?" We both say in unison.
"I know this is a big shock for you both" he said sadly. "But the good news is we have found it early enough to hopefully fix the problem" he carried on. Connor looked frozen. "Do you smoke" he asked.
"No I never have" He said bluntly. "The punch has nothing to do with this does it?" He asked quickly.
"No, but in one way it's a good job it happened as we would have found out later - when It would be worse" he replied. I didn't know what to do.
"Now you are going to be in private health care until we fix this problem. I'm sure your friend will bring you some stuff to keep you all well" he said referring to me. "We will take you down in a minute but while we get a room sorted you need to stay here and Jennie will be checking up on you okay?" Connor just nodded and then the Doctor and Jennie went out the room. Connor was just staring at the floor in silence so I decided to go over to him.
"I'm sorry Con" I whispered hugging him.
"Dude it's not your fault" he said plainly. Soon I felt my shoulder turn damp so I pulled away. "Why me?" He said while a tear rolled down his cheek.
"I don't know" I said honestly "but he thinks he can sort it".
"I'm 18" he said sadly. "This is only the start". That's when my heart broke in two. I didn't know what to say so I just hugged him again.
"I'm going to call the others, is there anything you want?"
"Chloe" he said within a split second.
"Ok" I said walking outside.

When I got into the corridor I pulled out my phone and rang Brad. After a few rings he picked up.
"How is he?" He asked straight away. That's when I broke down.
"His face is fine" I said "but remember he was I'll a few days ago?" I asked slowly.
"Yeah" he said with a worried tone.
"It's because he has a blocked artery" I said with tears rolling down my face. I put a hand over my eyes and turned to face the wall.
"Ohmygod" was all I heard. "We will come now"
"Bring Chloe" I said quickly. "Connor wants Chloe" I said trying not to sound as rude.
"Okay" and with that the phone line went dead...
