the bad boy and a broken nerd

chapter 9: looking all peachy

Ellie's POV

Seeing my dad looking helpless on that bed breaks my heart. I feel the air tightening, and i am finding it harder to breathe. My eyes are getting watery, as i stare at my dad laying on the bed.

Someone comes up to me and pulls me into a hug. I look up to see who it is and it’s James. I hug him back. He bends down and whispers into my ear ‘ we will get through this together’ i let out a breath i didn't know i was holding, and a small smile appears on my face from his words that i spoke to him 10 minutes ago.

I let go of him, and pull up a chair next to dad and hold his hand.

“Hey dad, sorry i haven’t came to see you sooner” i say to the sleeping body on the bed.

I was about to speak to him again, but then i heard the door open. I look over to the door to see Dr. Reed. He stands at the door doing nothing. Really if your just gonna stand there then be on your way.

“Mrs. Green has requested to know what happened to Mr. Anderson” The doctor said referring to Aunt E. That’s probably what they were talking about at the front counter when James and I walked in.

“Yes, and thank you for all that you did for my brother” Aunt E said. I resist the urge to roll my eyes. Like really? What did he do? My dad is in a freaking coma for god sake. Practically dead. But he is alive.

“You are very welcome” the doctor says in a low voice. Wait what? Is he trying to be flirty? Uhm NO you are like 80 (even though he is like mid 30) DO NOT think you are gonna hump my auntie.

I throw a quick glare at him which he didn't seem to notice. Damn it. Anyways he goes on to his point.

“So from the impact of the crash Mr. Anderson managed to get out with a broken arm, and leg. A few fractured ribs some broken also. He also has many, and when i say many i mean MANY bruises, and cuts. Some big some small. But most of all was his concussion that made him go into the coma. He got a level 6 concussion which is very bad. If he wakes up from this he might have amnesia and not remember any of you, but keep in mind that, that is only a possibility. He might wake up and remember everything, maybe just a few things will be blurry. But in all we just don't know when he will wake up. It has only been a couple of days since the accident and we are not sure.” the stupid doctor told us.

Like really you are a freaking doctor! How could you not know when my father would wake up, and i really don’t care that ‘coma’s are tricky’ he should fucking know!

Oh fucking well.

I still have a question that has been nagging me since i found out. And that is who the fuckity fuck drove into my parents, and is this nincompoop alive or not. Because if he is, he won’t be when i get my hands on him. (not really but i really do want to strangle him)

“Wait, so is the person who drove into my parents car alive or not?” i ask out of the blue. I look over at James, and i can tell he was wondering the same thing.

“Yes-” is all i heard to freaking lose it. I jump up from my seat and get up close to the doctor.

“What’s his name?” i spit out at him. I look up into his eyes to see that he is scared. And i don't blame him. I am pretty vicious when i'm mad. But this is far worse than mad i am furious as to why this piece of horse poop is alive after HIS mistake causing my mother to die, and my dad to almost die. He won't get out of this one free.

“Benjamin Blake-” is all i heard. I shove my way out the door and go down to the lobby to get his stupid room number. I know he has to be in the death hole after the accident. It probably fucked him up, but what he did to my parents is FAR worse.
