The Hospital | Corbyn Besson

Corbyns pov
I was out in the lobby of the hospital talking with the nurse. my mom. she's gone. she's gone forever and I have no one left except my younger brother & aunt.
I started to make my way to the room tears taking over my eyes, and I saw Lola.
I kept walking but she grabbed my arm and when she saw me crying she pulled me into a tight hug and wipe my tears away with her hoodie.
"Hey corbyn? You okay?" she said it in the softest voice and it made me smile a little. that smile instantly faded away though.
"Lo...lola , my mom didn't make it."
"Oh my gosh corbyn I'm so sorry"
she pulled me even tighter until I told her I should go. she let me go and I walked back into my moms room. I stared at the blank white walls then down to the empty bed. I grabbed my hoodie from the room and left the hospital. as I was walking to my aunts house all I could think about was lola. she was my only "friend" , god I'm so dumb she probably thinks I'm some other stupid guy you'd meet randomly.
I finally got up to the driveway of my aunts house and I walked in through the front door to see my little brother cylan (ki-lin) in my aunts arms in the kitchen. She turned around and looked at me in shock.
"Corbyn , what are you doing here you should be at the hospital."
"Mo...mom didn't ma..make it."
I had burst into tears on the ground.
"AUNT CECE WE HAVE NO ONE LEFT. ME AND CYLAN ONLY HAVE YOU WHO ACTUALLY CARES
ABOUT US IN THIS FAMILY."
She put cylan down and walked over to me and bent down so she could place her hands cupped into my face.
"corbyn it's gonna be okay baby."
"no it's not cece. hell I don't know what to do anymore. im a disappointment cece. I have no friends. I only have you and cylan left."
she pulled me closer to her and wrapped me into her arms.
"we'll get through this corbyn. together okay?"
I wiped my nose with my hoodie and let out a soft okay and went upstairs to my room.
I plopped myself onto my bed and wondered about everything going on right now.
cylan has no idea about anything. he's only 8 months. I felt so much worse for him than I did myself. then I started crying into my pillow. my sobs were muffled and quiet because I didn't want cece to hear me. God schools in 2 days. what the hell am I gonna do?
Lola's pov
I left lunch and went back to my room to waste some time before my dad came to get me. school was starting in two days and I'm so not ready for it.
I literally have no friends. none. they all kinda abandoned me when they found out I was in the hospital. so basically this senior year was gonna suck.
Finally the time came and my dad came to pick me up. he signed me out and helped me put my bags in the car. the car ride back home was quite but peaceful. I couldn't get my mind off corbyn. he was adorable and I feel so bad for that kid. I was just praying we'd end up at the same school.
The next day
I woke up at exactly 9:35am this morning and I decided to go ahead and lay out everything for school tomorrow.
I put my book bag onto my desk chair. ontop of my desk was my outfit.
yellow crop top | black leggings | nike airs
I was ready for the first day but kinda not at the same time. I walked downstairs into the kitchen and made myself a bowl of cereal and set it down on the kitchen countertop. I went down the hall into avery's room. Thankfully he was just waking up as a went in. I grabbed him out his crib then took him out to the kitchen and put him in his high chair.
"What do you want to eat this morning ave's" i said it in a soft voice so that he would give an answer.
"I want pop tawrt!"
"Buddy you can't have pop tar-"
He smashed his hands into the sides of his highchair
"Fine fine fine" I walked over to the pantry and gave him his pop tarts.
Dad came downstairs and looked horrible.
"dad are you okay"
"I'm fine lo just a little tired."
hm okay then. he grabbed avery and his pop tarts as went into the living room and they started to watch barney together. god I found that show so creepy.
I grabbed my cereal and went back upstairs.
I jumped in bed and turned jane the virgin on tv. god I'm so worried about school. what if people don't like me? what if I get bullied? god this is gonna be a long school year.
==========================
The next morning
My phone alarm started to go off.
6:30am
oh no it's the first day of school. I threw on my outfit and put my hair up into a little messy ponytail. I slipped into my shoes then grabbed my backpack and ran downstairs.
"DAD IM GOING TO SCHOOL SEE YOU LATER"
if I wasn't there before 7:30 I would be late. plus my dad is making me walk to school because it's "good exercise"
I arrived at the gates of hell , school* sorry
I was rambling through my backpack trying to find my schedule. I pulled in out and started reading it on my way to my locker. I bumped into someone and dropped all my books.
"oh my god are you seri- omg corbyn whats up!"
"Lola?" he giggled and it was the cutest thing ever.
"here I'll help you get those"
"thanks corbyn"
he grabbed all my books for me and followed me to my locker. as I was doing my code he asked me
"you never told me you were going here?"
I unlocked my locker and he put my books inside it.
"well I got out the hospital yesterday and I was gonna tell you but bad timing..."
I put my hand on his arm and started to rub it. He looked up at me and smiled.
"god your smile is beautiful"
SHIT! I just said that.
"eh not really but thanks"
"so lola what classes do you have?"
"uhh here just look at my schedule"
he started to compare his schedule to mine and he nudged my shoulder when we were at the door for art class.
"woah we have the same exact schedule."
"yeah we do" he giggled a little and I tried so hard not to freak out because god he's so cute.
we walked into art class together and took a table with each other.
"Ok class today we're gonna be starting a project I like to call the perfect project. Basically what this means is you will have two weeks to draw/paint something that catches your eye and you think is just overall perfect!"
the words rang in my ear and I looked up at corbyn but he was already looking at me. we laughed a little and then I got up to get both of us paper. I grabbed a few colored pencils aswell.
brown , yellow , blue , green , black , and a pink
I walked back over to the table with out stuff and placed in it in the center.
"so lola whatcha thinking about drawing huh?"
"uh...I don't really know. I'll probably just draw something and work on it at home I guess."
he shook his head and then started to sketch out his design. he kept looking up at me while doing it so I finally looked back at him and raised an eyebrow.
he looked at me and raised one too. he laughed
"why'd you look at me like that?"
"corbyn you keep looking at me."
"sorry I can't it. you're just really pretty."
"I uh..thanks. thanks. so much."
he giggled a little and fluffed his hair around before going back to drawing.
he kept looking at me again but I didn't wanna say anything. the teacher left the classroom for awhile so that she could make copy's of our project directions.
"aww look at the lovebirds over there!" someone called from across the room.
"ah dude that weirdo keeps staring at that one chick"
his friend pitched in.
Corbyn stood up and walked over to their table. The two boys stood up aswell and walked over to corbyn.
"What are you gonna do besson?"
Corbyn faked a laugh and clenched his jaw. before I knew it corbyn had knocked the shit outta that guy. his friend stood there staring at corbyn with wide eyes. the teacher walked back in right in that moment.
"Corbyn Besson! To the office now!"
I got out my chair and motioned for corbyn to go back to his seat. I walked up to the teachers desk.
"you may have not been here for the moment but if you'd like I could tell the office to pull up camera footage. those little shits we're picking on me and corbyn so he did something about it"
she swallowed and sat back down into her chair. I walked back over to our table and sat down.
"corbyn you know you could've handled that another way!"
"I'm sorry I couldn't resist myself. you're literally my only friend here so far and I don't wanna lose you to some guys talking about us."
"awe corbyn you're so sweet. and you're my first friend too so don't worry I'm not leaving you." I smiled at him and then went back to drawing a scene on my paper. I was gonna draw corbyn but I didn't want to do it in front of him and embarrass myself.
Art class was over and me and corbyn started walking down the hall to physics.
As we were walking corbyn grabbed my hand and wrapped it into his. I looked up at him and our eyes met.
"What was that for?" still holding his hand he smiled and then laughed a little.
"thanks for being such a good friend lola. I've only known you for a few days and you're amazing."
My face turned a soft pink and I looked down at our hands. I laid my head on his shoulder as we walked to physics. When we got there he let go of my hands and we took our seats.
