Unexpected - ZachxAlex story

Chapter 5-

Recap:

"Alex you can be discharged tomorrow." Said Alex's nurse. Alex nodded his head and laid back on his bed.

"All this suffering when I could have just ended it all but for some reason god won't let me."

Zach's P.O.V

"Alex don't say-" I was cut off by Ms. Standall rushing through the door.

"ALEX!" she yelled running to hug him. She was full on crying in his arms.

"Thank you so much, without you two who knows what could have happened." Ms. Standall hugged Jessica and me very tightly.

"We have your back. And yours." I said looking at Alex.

The doctor knocked on the door and walked in.

"Hello everyone. I am Dr. Sheen. Alex you will be released tomorrow but before that we have to talk to the adult here."

"I'm Alex's mother."

"Ms. Standall will you please step outside with me." Ms. Standall nodded her head and walked with the doctor.

*few minutes later*

Ms. Standall returned with a neutral expression. No sadness but no happiness as well.

"Okay so I have been informed that Alex has to take a medicine pill everyday to prevent seizures from occurring consistently and he has to be on bed rest for a couple of weeks because when he fell to the floor and when Bryce punched him he hit his head so he has a minor concussion."

"Does that mean no school?" Alex asked with a hopeful expression.

"Yes, BUT Zach and Jessica I want you two to tell Alex what you have learned in class every time you visit him. Just because you are in bed rest does not mean you cannot listen to someone else's day."

Alex sighed but nodded his head in agreement.

*Morning time*

Still Zach's P.O.V

"Okay Alex Standall you are now ready for release. Now if you would just sit in that wheelchair and let me carry you to your car that would be fantastic!" Said one of the helping nurses.

"It's fine I can walk."

"Alex.. just sit in the chair." Alex groaned and sat in the wheelchair.

"I'll take him." I said as we walked out of the hospital.

I decided to drop him off at his mom's car so he can begin his bed rest at home.

Jessica and I went to school since first period was the only thing we missed.

*to school*

"Hey what happened to Alex?" Clay asked. Today he has a new purple bruise on his chin. Probably from Bryce.

"Because of the seizure from yesterday, he has bed rest for a couple of weeks and has to take pills." I summarized to Clay. He nodded his head and headed with me to our next period. Then I spotted Bryce.

I felt angered just seeing him there smiling like he didn't know what he caused.

"Just walked past him. It's not worth it." Clay said.

"Hey Zach, buddy, how's Alex doing?" Bryce said with a joyful face as he patted my shoulder.

I was getting worked up. I can either punch him right now or ignore him.

"What wrong, friend?" Bryce said with a mediocre smile on his face.

I lost it.

I punched him right in the face and he punched me right back.

I kicked, punched, yelled. I completely lost it.

"Hey! Hey! Knock it off!" The principal came and tried to separate us. Clay stopped me by holding my arms.

"You and you, come to my office now!" The principal said grabbing me and Bryce by the arm.

I didn't feel regret.

Not one bit.

All I felt was the blood on my face and hands. It may not be much but I can feel it.

*when Alex and his mom get home*
Alex's P.O.V

My mom quickly tucked me into bed as if I was a child.

She probably wishes I was.

Back when I wasn't so problematic.

She told me she had to go pick up the medicine and some groceries for tonight's dinner. She said that my dad has work until night. He's a cop.. of course.

"Alex please don't do anything that would harm you. I love you and you know that." I nodded my head and she kissed my forehead and went downstairs.

I got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower. While the water was becoming hot. I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I looked at my scar and traced it with my fingers.

I opened the cabinet and saw a razor. I looked at it and I looked at it and I looked at it. My heart beat began to speed up.

I closed the cabinet.

I got into the hot shower and cleaned myself.

I let my thoughts run wild. Like I always do.

That is it for today. Sorry it's not as long as the others but I'm really tired. Bye!
