summer days don't last

the hospital

I lay there on my back my vision and mobility slowly quickly leaving me. But my nerves are still supporting me a little. The only parts of my body that I can feel are my head, right leg, left arm and feet. I feel my body lift from the ground. I try to open my eyes but fail in doing so. I can't do anything as my nerves shut down too. I slowly go unconscious not knowing of anything that happened after that.

                 - Corey's POV -
I text Chloe and tell her to send me her location so I can help her. The last time we talked we were about to go on a trip. But now I have to save from god knows what. I really hope she's okay. I ask a friend to use their car. I drive as fast as I can to Chloe's location. I park a few blocks from the dot tracking her phone. Before I can get out I eye Andy making his way out of the building where the dot is. I pay close attention to the object in his hand. It was a knife and he was wiping blood from it. At that moment I knew Chloe was serious when she said she might die. I watch Andy drive away careful not to be seen. I hop out the car and run to the dot tracking her phone. When I reach the dot, I almost cry at seeing Chloe just lay there. She wasn't moving when I found her so I picked her up and carried her to my car. I drove as fast as I could to the hospital making sure not to hurt or move Chloe too much.

                - Chloe's POV
I wake up in the hospital. The first thing I feel is pain. I almost scream but I immediately remembered where I was. But I do still kinda squirm in my bed from the pain. A nurse walks in.

"Are you okay"the nurse asks.

"Arrrgh,no"I answer.

"What's wrong"she exclaims.

"My arm and leg are hurting very badly"I retort as I point to the areas where I was stabbed.

"Calm down, baby, calm down"the nurse soothes.

"I can't, it hurts!"I yell.

The nurse sprints out the door and leaves me there. I continue squirming and groaning. I think to myself about what today should've been like. I start to cry a river. The nurse comes back with a bottle of sedative,some doctors, some bandages, some needles and some stitches. I've always hated needles so when I see them I cry a lot more. The nurse gets the doctors to hold me down so she can inject me with the sedative. I don't stay still though. They hold me down harder and she injects me right where the big gash wherever I had gotten cut. I scream because I couldn't stand it. But when she's done the sedatives put me to sleep. I fall asleep as she gives me the stitches. I wake up to a room full of doctors and nurses. I kinda get scared a little bit. The nurse asks me how I got in this condition but I don't think to answer. They all leave and consult on what could've happened to me outside. I hear Corey's voice telling them about what might've happened. He walks in with the rest of my friends. They all hug me.

"A little too tight,guys"I say

"What happened"Sierra asks with a look of concern.

"Well Andy got mad because I was hanging with Corey,kidnapped me and nearly killed me"I explain.

"Why didn't you call one of us"Chris roars.

Chris has feelings for me but I just keep putting him in the friend zone.

"Because when I actually had the idea to call someone I couldn't when I unlocked my phone the first thing to pop up was the message screen for Corey so I texted him to help me"

"So you and Corey were texting before this happened"Chris restated.

" I was letting him know what time I would be there to pick him up for the trip today"I said

We all just talk about what the trip would've been like but Corey nor Chris say a word to anybody. There is a lot of tension between them and I don't want anything to happen.

"Chris, what's wrong"

"You're getting closer to Corey and I feel left out"Chris wines

"Come sit"I pat a spot on the bed next to me.

He says next to me and I can clearly see him blushing. Corey flashes me a smile and I wink back at him. The nurse comes in and tells me that I can go home but I have to keep my wounds bandaged up or they won't heal. My friends help me to my car. We all agree to go to Chris's house after this to give him attention.

"I can't drive so Chris can you drive me to your house"I ask

"Sure, Chloe"he smiles

"Great, who else wants to ride with me and Chris"I comply

"I could ride with you guys"Corey adds looking nervous

"Ok come on"I answer

So me, Corey and Chris walk to my car. Chris helps me get in. It was a long drive. Nobody said anything to each other. It was really weird. We finally get to Chris's house. We walk in and sit in the living room.
