Aiden’s P.O.V.
As I reached the hospital my heart was up in my throat. I had finally felt somewhat in place when I met Isabelle and now I was on the verge of losing that, of losing her. I parked the car in front of the entrance not even caring what would happen to it and I ran inside.
‘’Excuse me ma’am I am looking for Isabelle Munro. She was just brought in.’’
The woman looked at me for a moment with a small frown on her face. ‘’Are you family?’’
My brother rushed in at that exact moment stopping dead in his tracks as he saw me. His face flushed with guilt. His skin was pale and he looked like he was going to break. I know I should have taken care of him. Tell him that it was going to be alright but really I couldn’t care less about that.
‘’I’m her boyfriend.’’ I answered.
The woman shook her head. ‘’I’m sorry I’m only allowed to inform a parent or legal guardian.’’ She smiled softly somewhat regretful.
‘’Listen her dad is in the army, he’s deployed and her mom,’’ I fell silent right there and looked at Eli who was standing shortly behind me. I couldn’t explain the whole story now for Isabelle explicitly told me I wasn’t allowed to talk about it with anyone. Part from that she was still a minor which would mean she could get in a lot more trouble if I told the authorities what was going on at home. I decided to make something up.
‘’Her mom is out of the country for business, she is not returning for at least another month.’’
The woman frowned lightly and looked into Izzy’s file before she turned back to me.
‘’Fine, but do you know of anyone I should call? I suppose she has someone that takes care of her while her parents are gone?’’ I sighed and shook my head.
‘’Not really, most of her time she spends with me. I will call her friends later.’’ I answered shortly. The woman nodded before giving me directions to the right floor.
‘’I think the doctors are still working on her but you can wait there for them to be done.’’ I thanked her truthfully before I took off leaving Eli trying to convince the woman to let him see Isabelle.
As I entered the right floor I looked around for a doctor or nurse. I noticed a nurse walking out of a small hallway. ’’Excuse me ma’am, I’m here for Isabelle Munro, could you please tell me what’s going on?’’
The nurse looked at me with an apologetic look on her face making me feel like I just swallowed a 20 pound rock.
‘’She’s going to be okay right?’’ I asked almost begging.
‘’The doctors are still working on her it looks quite serious.’’ I felt all the blood rush from my face and I carefully sat down on one of the chairs standing against the wall. The nurse sat down on me taking my hand in hers.
‘’The doctors are doing what they can. She’s in good hands kid, don’t worry. She was here rather quick I’m sure she’ll be alright.’’
She really tried to comfort me but it wasn’t really working, it was at that point the doctor came walking out looking around for someone. ‘’Munro family?’’ He asked looking around once again. The nurse lifted her hand pointing at me. The doctor walked over rather quick yet it seemed to take him hours to do so. That was probably my anxiety but still.
‘’I’m Dr. Simmons.’’ He offered me his hand and I shook it lightly. ‘’Ms. Munro suffered from an overdose of poppers. Unfortunately she suffered from one of the worst effects of it, it’s called Methemoglobinemia.’’ I stared at him questioning. I had no clue what that meant. ‘’It means that she had a shortage of oxygen in her blood causing her to loose consciousness. Luckily you got here in time for it can also result in coma or in worst cases even lead to death.’’
