Our History

Chapter 23

Gordies POV

I kept looking at Chris with the phone call running through my head over and over again.

"Gordie, your mom and I had to go to the hospital on the way home. Your mother went into labor too early, you can come to see her whenever you please. Just don't be excepting to see a baby."

Then the line ended and I think I stopped breathing.

For those few minutes before Chris arrived, I just sat their holding Luke. Staring in his eyes and began crying.

I began to sob and held him close, told him he was so beautiful and healthy. Because he was, unlike my baby brother who was probably nowhere near healthy.

"Gordie there's no way that he won't make it, I mean he has to live. He just has to.", Chris began to tell me still standing int he doorway, probably just as shocked as I was.

For a minute I stood there, wanting to blame him for all of this. I wanted to hate him" scream at him.

Why!

Why did he have to have a living older brother and a baby brother that is healthy and living?

Why not me? I don't fucking get it, what in the fucking hell have I done to deserve this?

Huh? I listen to everybody, try to help everybody, yet always get screwed over!

You know what? Fuck all of this! I fucking hate all of this! I always lose shit and yet I give so fucking much!

"Gordie, don't get mad. You can't control the way the world work and how things happen.", Chris began to tell me, clearly seeing the rage in my eyes.

"I'm not mad because of that, in all honesty, I don't even think I'm mad. I think I am so sad and depressed about this that it has consumed me and made me fucking angry."

Chris just looked shocked at my sudden outburst, "I'm sorry Gordie, but just calm down okay? We can go to the hospital right now if you need to."

I was about to nod my head but I just remembered the newborn baby laying in my hands, "What about Luke? He is a brand new baby, he can't go out in the cold. Plus I don't wanna drag him around town when he should be in a warm house fast asleep."

Chris groaned for a second while rolling his blue eyes, "Damn it, I um. No! Gordie, we are going down to that damn hospital right now! We will bundle Luke the fuck up and we will go there! You deserve to know what's going on!", and with that Chris began to walk over to me to get Luke.

It didn't take Chris long to bundle him up, something tells me he is one of the only people taking care of Luke. But Chris didn't seem to mind all the much, and in a way, it was probably better for Luke to have Chris take care of him.

"What?", Chris asked me, clearly noticing my staring.

I just shrugged my shoulders, "Nothing, just observing you I guess. You're great with him Chris, just amazing really."

Chris smirked to himself finishing wrapping Luke up in his blanket's, "Yeah well", he set Luke down and walked over to me, "I can do amazing things to you too.", he whispered flirty while he began to kiss and suck at my neck, wrapping his arms around my waist.

As much as I enjoyed this and Chris in every way, I really wanted to go to the hospital to see what was all going on, "Chris, we need to go."

He groaned knowing that we needed to go to the hospital, but he clearly wanted to do something else.

"I know we have to go", he began to trail his fingers all around my body," but I also wanna do so much more than that."

I rolled my eyes at this boy, I swear her only thinks with the head that is below his hips, "Listen, Chris, I promise we can do whatever you please some other time, but I really need to go. I need to know for sure."

He nodded at me, knowing that's what we needed to do, "Okay, let's get going then!"

I began to laugh at how fast he could change from trying to get into my pants to be ready to go out and leave.

"You ready Luke?", Chris asked him, clearly not going to get an answer.

But to our surprise, Luke began to smile and laugh at us.

"I'm taking that as a yes!", Chris says picking him up and cradling him in his arms.

I smiled at how cute they are and I began to hope that I could also do this with my baby brother... If he lives through everything. I just hope that he lives through it.

"Hey Gordo, are we going to walk to the hospital in a different way so nobody notices us together?", Chris asked me clearly meaning that we were supposed to not be friends.

I shook my head, "No, it's dark enough that I think we would be fine. I mean clearly Ace is doing something since Eyeball had to leave suddenly right?"

"Yeah right, but we shouldn't hold hands or anything right?"

"Your right, we will just walk side by side and hope that people think we are someone else okay?"

He nodded his head in understanding, then we made out long journey to the hospital.

The walk there really isn't that far of a walk seeing as Castle Rock is a small town.

Actually, I think the only reason why we were even on the map was that of our hospital. It wasn't amazing but at least we had one I guess.

So the walk wasn't long, but to me, it seemed to be taking a long time because I was impatient to find out what was going on.

As soon as we had gotten there I ran right up to the lady that was working at the front desk.

"Hi, um is there a Lachance here?", I asked her clearly impatient.

She smiled at me, "Yes there is, who are you?"

"I am their son, can I go see them?"

She nodded, "Yes you may, they are in room 172 in the left hallway from the bathrooms."

I smiled at her and turned to Chris.

"Go, we will be here when you get back."

I also thanked him with a smile, he knew how thankful I was.

After that, I was in a dead sprint to the room counting the numbers as I go.

168

168

170

171

172

Then I stopped for a second, keeping my hand on the door handle, before pushing myself in.

When I finally got in there I saw my mon laying in the bed holding a baby, but I didn't know if he was alive or not.

"Is. Is he.", I stopped myself, not being able to get the words out.

My mom shot her head up, shocked to see me and I couldn't read her face. But the next words she said made my heart stop.

"He's alive."
