New Journey

Chapter 9

"Is his pulse still there?!"Richard asked as he looked at me.

I blinked and looked at him, not knowing what to say or do right now. "No, No..."Joel said frantically as he shook his head.

"I'm just ever so sorry, everyone is just in a panic at the moment."Richard said over the phone as he looked at us. "Yes, yes I will check it myself."

Richard looked at me. "Zabdiel, lay him on his back to get a better feel of his pulse."

I looked at Richard and blinked again, my eyes brimmed with tears. Everything ever so blurry as I looked at Erick's face.

"L-Let me help."Chris said as he helped me put Erick on his back.

"Renato, promise me that he isn't gone."Joel said as he buried his head in Renato's chest.

"Shush Joel."Renato whispered as he rubbed his back.

I looked at Erick then looked at Chris, Chris let out a sniff and looked at me. "It's Erick, he's going to be just fine."

"Who are you trying to convince? The both of us or yourself?"

Chris let out a sigh and shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know anymore."

Richard walked over to the bed, the only on trying to kept it all cool and collected where as the rest of us were a mess.

He placed his two fingers on Erick's pulse and kept on talking on the phone, me and Chris just looked at each other wanting to cry and break down so badly but we couldn't.

Richard looked at us both. "Go downstairs and wait for the paramedics  to come and show them up."

I nodded then me and Chris left the hotel room in utter silence, we walked down to the lobby.

"Can't they hurry up?"Chris said as his foot tapped against the floor.

"They are going to be here hopefully."

"The mintue we leave Amal and them something bad happens."Chris said in an annoyed tone. "I still don't understand why we couldn't do the writing and recording over there."

"Can we just focus on Erick please?"

"Amal and Erick got along, if anything happens to him she has to know."Chris added, more salt to the wound.

"Chris, please do-"I cut myself off to see the paramedic running in, I ran to him and we ran upstairs to the hotel room.

He ran to Erick's side, I looked at him for a second then looked at Joel who was still crying and sat down on the chair staring at him.

Joel looked at me, his lip trembled. "W-What if something h-happens to him?"

I let out a sigh and looked at him. "Nothing will."

"How do you know that Zabdiel?"Joel said as he looked at me. "This isn't the first time something like this has happened to him has it?"

"But it isn't like that is it? He didn't feel too good before we came."

"Even more reason it to say it's our fault, we should of got him checked out there."

"Whatever has happened now has happened."I said as I looked at him. "There's nothing to do expect but hope for the best."

They put him on a stretcher, Chris and Richard went after him leaving me and Joel in the room.

"Remember that for yourself as well."Joel said as he got up from the chair.

"I will."

"We are going to the hospital, no way I'm going to be leaving him in the hospital alone."
