Chap 7

The day everyone found out Kyle was slipping into a coma, was a Busy day.

Multiple things happened.

For starters, Kyle.

Around 8:30 in the morning, my alarm clock went off. I shut it off and got up out of his bed wandering into my room. I got into a new outfit and sat down getting on his computer.

Our door was opened and around 9 o'clock I heard loud knocking coming from Kyles door. His door was locked so I walked in an unlocked it.

" Jesus Christ, why was the door locked stan?" Lauren asked walking going over to the computer.

"Before chemo, he told me to lock the door at night," I say, lying.

"I assume you guys are friends and keep the side door open?" Lauren asked unamused.

" yes... is there a problem with that?" I ask.

" other than the fact that it supposed to be an emergency door no, but I suppose since you guys get along so well you can keep it open." She said clicking and typing on the standing computer.

"Hmmm... Stan do you know how long he's been asleep for?" Lauren asked becoming worried.

" since chemo yesterday," I answered walking into the left side of Kyle, while Lauren exams him on the right.

" shit that's not good." She quickly attaching a bunch of needles to him and wires, I started to become worried too.

"What's wrong with him?" I ask.

"He fell into a comma. Stan, you need to go into your room and give us some space." She hit the red button on the call remote and doctors a couple other doctors came into the colorful lifeless room.

My mind became jumbled and my vision blurred... I started to fall into a panic attack. My breathing staggered.

Lauren noticed. While doctors swarmed around Kyle she walked over to me. She grabbed my arm and hand and walked me to it my room while shutting the door.

"Everything's going to be fine." She says sitting me on my bed.

"B-but, he's like my best friend...I can't let him go." I say tears welling up in my eyes and my breathing becoming rapid.

"Stan...were are your parents," Lauren asks standing in front of me.

"I don't know, back home a couple towns over in the suburbs," I say kinda calming down.

"They haven't come to visit you once..."

"I know..." no surprise.

"Is that why you're so close with Kyle. Becuase he's a boy your age and you're lonely...?" She asks.

"I guess? He's more than that. He was there for me on my first day here and when...w-when things went to shit back home at school." I say mumbling.

"Oh, I see...also." Lauren trails off and sits down across from me.

"Stan...your going to be here for a while, and you're going to have to start school at some point." She says.

"What do you mean?" I ask confused.

"Well, Kyle takes online courses. We could get you a computer too. She says looking at Kyle's. If you do that you will have to meet in a classroom on Fridays from 1-3 to review what you learned out through the week. Or you can start classes with some of the other patients here." Lauran says unamused.

"There are other kids here?" I ask.

"Yes there on the other side of the hospital, but it's full...so if we get any new patients you guys might have to buddy up with them. That's why there are extra beds in your and kyle's rooms." Lauren says.

"Ok... so I have to start school?" I ask again.

"Yes, you may pick how you want to do it though. I suggest computer if you can't get out of bed."

"Yeah I think I'll go with that option," I say calmed down after my mini panic attack.

"Good, now let's retune this to it, the rightful owner," Lauran says taking kyles computer and opening the door walking into his room.

No more doctors were in there. I followed her in. He seemed so peaceful.

"Hmmm," Lauran checks his files.

"He's in a coma." She says not making eye contact with me.

"Stan, you can keep the door opened, but be in bed by 9. I'm going to make some calls to his family. You might want to shut your door though if they come to check on him." Lauran says walking into the hall.

I can't help but feel horrible for Kyle.

He's one of my best friends if not, my best friend. Yea Kenny's always been around. But I don't know if I would consider him my best friend... he just wants to get in my pants.

I sit on the mini couch in Kyles room for a while...just thinking...letting my thought run whiled. Today's been shit and it's only 11:30...

I honestly didn't think it could get worse...until I saw a Gurnee with a recognizable blond haired boy laying on it being pushed at full speed past Kyles room.

They went past Kyles room but tuned into mine.

I stood up and walked to the doorway and looked in, as they rushed him into my room and in the empty bed a couple feet away from mine.

The boy was bruised and had some pretty deep cuts on him. He was unconscious. I listened as the doctors spoke fast while attaching wires to him.
They said stuff like.

"Broken wrist and a couple ribs."

"Heart rate"

And

"Blood type"

"The other one we'll be here shortly, he's in critical condition."

It was kinda scary, watching from where I was. Lauran came back into Kyles room to talk to me.

"Stan, sorry to umm...tell you on such short notice but you're going to have a roommate..." she said calmly.

"His name is-"

"I know," I say cutting her off.

" I know him, we go to the same school. His name is

Tweek."
