i grazed my hand over the cold doorknob as i turned it. the door creaked open a bit as it slid out of my way. once the door was fully open i stepped inside and took a look at my best friend. his head slowly turned to look at the door, and me. he attempted a smile, but couldn't really give me his normal jonah smile. a tear slipped past my eye as i looked at him, in pain. i walked over to him and sat down in a chair, right by his bed.
"hey." he whispered as he smiled again.
"hey." i breathed out and laughed. he chuckled slightly but soon gasped quickly in pain. my face immediately fell as he gave me a reassuring half smile. i took his large hand in mine as we continued being in the silence.
"is megan okay? and everyone else?" he spoke after minutes of pure and utter silence. i took a breath before looking from our hands to his face. his under eye bags were worse than normal, which was understandable.
"i don't know how megan and daniel are. just you and then are seriously hurt. i think you're the first one awake. we had just been waiting for about an hour when the nurse called me." i responded sadly. i could feel him tense up.
"it's all my fault." he said just above a whisper as a few tears escaped his eyes and traveled down his pale cheeks.
"no it's not jo." i quickly responded, not letting him take any blame. he nodded just ever so slightly.
"what's wrong with me?" he asked with a small sniffle. i knew what he meant and responded with what the nurse had told me in the hallway.
"you have a concussion, and two broken ribs." i spoke. he nodded again as we continued just being in each other's presence.
"i think zach would like to see you too. he hasn't stopped pacing and being worried." i smiled. jonah chuckled shortly as he nodded. i got up from the chair as i let go of jonah's hand. making sure i shut the door softly i walked down the familiar long hallway and through the door. as i opened the door, all four of my friends whipped their heads up and stood up.
"zach?" i spoke so they could hear. he immediately rushed over to me as he wiped the tears off of his face. i nodded back towards everyone else as they all followed me back down the hallway. alex and zach walked behind me and christina, as jack trudged behind everyone.
"is he okay?" zach spoke, very tense, as his voice cracked ever so quietly. alex slide her arm around zach, who immediately loosened up at her touch and became calmer.
"yes zach." i responded as i reached for the door. opening it, i revealed our beloved band mate/best friend. zach immediately ran towards him, and out of alex's grip, and took my previous place in the chair. i laughed slightly at the boy, as everyone walked into the room. jonah soon exchanged looks of 'hello' with everyone. one last tear slipped past zachs eye as he smiled at the taller boy laying down by him. zach gripped jonah's hand just as i had as everyone stood. a comfortable silence filled the air.
after many minutes of small talk and quiet laughter, the now familiar short nurse opened the door and walked into jonah's room. she smiled at all of us before looking at me.
"daniels awake and is doing well. he dislocated his shoulder and has a few bumps and bruises, but other than that he should be fine." she said happily. everyone sighed in relief. jack looked up from his feet at her, his eyes full of hope before she laughed and opened the door, only for him. he smiled and walked through the opened the door. "down this hall and to the left, room 17." she spoke to the curly haired boy so very eager to see his best friend. he nodded and rushed down the long hall. she started to close the door when she was stopped.
"wait!" jonah said loudly. she stopped abruptly at his call and looked towards the boy laying in the bed.
"when can we leave? and what about megan?" he asked quickly as the nurse started stepping back into the room.
"you and daniel can leave in about an hour, once we do a last check up and bandaging." she spoke smoothly as the words flowed out of her mouth.
"and megan?" jonah spoke again, his voice amount cracking at her name. the nurses face fell a little as she spoke.
"she will have to stay longer. she hasn't woken yet, and her injuries look not so good right now." she spoke with a sorrowful look. i looked at jonah as a single tear rolled down his cheeks. he looked down at his hands, one in zach's smaller hand, and became silent. i looked around everyone left in the room. zach held tight to jonah as alex stood next to him, silently crying at the news of her best friend. finally i looked at christina standing near me, as a tear slipped past her eye.
"corbyn, well need someone over 18 to sign the release forms." she spoke to me.
"18 or over?" i asked as i moved closer to the nurse, christina standing close by me as she wrapped her arm around mine.
"over." she spoke as she took me and christina outside the door. i looked at jonah one more time before she shut the door. he was still looking down at his hands and zach's.
"i'll be back soon." i spoke to him. he nodded ever so slightly before the nurse shut the door behind us. we exited the room and started walking down the hall.
"i'll call a close friend." i spoke as i pulled out my phone from my coat pocket and started to walk away, with christina by my side.
"oh and corbyn?" she said, stopping us before we walked into the waiting room. i looked back at the nurse before giving christina my attention.
"i'll meet you back in there. go see jonah." i said nodding back towards jonahs room. she nodded as she walked back there, wiping the remains of her tears with the sleeve one of hoodies. i walked the few feet back over to the nurse.
"i didn't want to tell your other friends myself, for i see how they feel about her, but megan's state is worse than i told him. i think you should be the one to tell them. especially jonah." she said with a slight frown. my heart started racing as i became more and more nervous for my new friend. i looked at the nurse for her to continue.
"we aren't quiet sure at the moment but we fear megan is going to fall into a temporary coma." she stated with a pitiful look. i slowly nodded, for i couldn't think of anything to say. the nurse gave me a sorrowful look as she rested her hand on my shoulder for a minute before returning to the desk the older woman was at earlier. i knew i'd have to tell the rest of them, i just didn't know how. i was deep in thought as i walked through the waiting room and out the main doors and stepping into the crisp cold air. as i pulled out my phone i searched through my contacts. standing in the cold i listened to the ring.
"hello?" the groggy voice spoke on the other line.
"yeah hey it's corbyn. i need your help." i spoke clearly.
