Drama at Bondi beach

Chapter 8 - Maxi

REIDY POV

"Well now, that's the thing," Kerrbox said carefully, before finishing his sentence "We don't know if he's ever going to wake up"

For a moment it was very quiet in the room, only the sound of breathing and the heart monitor to be heard. "So he isn't really alright then?" I asked, still not really believing the news I just heard. Deano Sighed "No, he actually is not."

"Well he is okay, the only thing that's wrong is that he is in a coma." Kerrbox said. "At least that's what the doctor told us." I nodded, but quickly stopped because it hurt. "Can someone go and ask a doctor if I can get some more morphine, because I feel like it's necessary." I then said to change the subject, and because it was indeed necessary.

"I'll go." Deano said, and gave me a small smile before leaving the room. Now it were only me and Kerrbox. "Are you sure we aren't bothering you Reidy? I mean you really look like you need some rest, and with us here it's pretty difficult to take a good rest." He asked with clearly a lot of worry in his eyes. I grinned, and responded: "No, it's okay. Really. I want your company, then I feel less alone. And besides, it's not that difficult to rest when you're here."
"Okay good then." He smiled.

I smiled back, vision slowly going away, and I could hear Kerrbox' worried voice in the background: "Reidy, is everything alright?" And then, when I tried to reply with 'yes, I'm fine.', it went completely black.

HOPPO POV

It was quiet in Maxi's room, but what would I've expected. There was nothing really to say. Me and Whippet just sat next to his bed, being sad and looking at him, wishing he would wake up. I sighed and closed my eyes, wishing that when I opened them, everything would've been just a dream.

I opened my eyes, but sadly enough it wasn't a dream, and Maxi really was in a coma, and Reidy also really was badly injured. I hate seeing my colleagues and my friends like this. It makes me feel like a bad friend, and 'boss'. I should've done more. But now it's to late, we can only hope he'll indeed wake up.

It was 20:00 p.m. now, and we heard a knock on the door. Me and Whippet both looked at the nurse who walked in to check on Maxi. "Are you family?" He asked us. "No." I responded "We'll leave now." Whippet added, and we both stood up and walked towards the door.

"Please wake up Maxi." I said before closing the door behind me. Me and Whippet then walked to room 242, to meet up with Kerrbox and Deano, and also to say a goodnight to Reidy. But when we entered we found the room to be empty.

"I thought Reidy's room was 242?" Whippet said confused. "Yeah, I thought so too." I replied and pulled out my phone, to call Deano. The telephone rang, and I waited for him to pick up. "Yeah?" Deano said. "Hey, Deano, where are you? We are at room 242 but Reidy doesn't seem to be here."
"Oh yeah, about that..." Deano said slowly "Reidy is being operated right now. He has a bleeding in his belly and in his brains or something like that. We don't know anything more yet, but we hope he's okay."
"Oh God really?" I said and closed my eyes. "What's wrong?" I heard Whippet ask. "Thanks for telling us now then, we'll go to the waiting room."
"Okay we'll see you soon then" Deano responded before hanging up. "

"Reidy's being operated." I said with a big sigh. " I hope he'll make it."
"Oh God..." Whippet said "can this day get any worse...?" Whippet asked.
"Probably." I responded, and I followed him to the waiting room.

JESSE POV

I looked out over the water. There was a small breeze that made my hair move a bit, and made me shiver. I took in a deep breath, before finally giving over to my sad thoughts, and the held in tears that were almost running out of my eyes themselves.

I couldn't pretend to be strong anymore. I collapsed on the ground, sobbing very hard and screaming because I was angry at myself. Angry because I should've done more for Maxi. I am a bad friend, I thought. It's not him who has to be in that coma. It's supposed to be me.

I let my tears run down my face, and it looked like there was just a river comming out of my eyes. "Maxi..." I cried, and sobbed more, and harder. "MAXI..!" I then yelled and covered my face with my arms. I didn't care that I was getting dirty. I didn't care that I maybe was getting strange looks from passengers. The only thing, or better said person I cared about right now was Maxi.

He doesn't deserve this.
