Heartbreaker in Training

Chapter 12 - We Were MySpace Friends, Remember?

I awoke with a start and almost jumped out of bed, literally. My chest felt like someone had just stabbed me twelve kagillion times. Garyn was still in the bed, and moments later, he was jumping in front of me and asking me what happened, but I couldn’t hear him, I couldn’t answer.

 

“A-I” I tried to choke out, but I just clutched my chest and moved my mouth, trying to speak a word. Before I knew it, Nurse Jackson, my “mom” nurse, came and put me on my bed, and wheeled me out, Garyn sitting next to me, crying my name and tightly holding my hand. I got a slight, “I love you,” before the light faded out and I couldn’t see anymore.

I woke up again about three hours later, back in my room, but now with tubes running across my body, and IV’s in my arm. I blinked and looked around before seeing Garyn, mom, Adem, and Tyler, all rush up to my bed.

“Guys, guys, give her some room. She did just have surgery.” I heard Lesley say across the room, and lifted my head.

“I what!?” Surgery! Since when? And then it all came back to me. The pain. The loss of oxygen. The dark.

I was brought out of my thoughts by a boy running in the room, breathless, and staring at me.

 

“LORI! ARE YOU OKAY, WHAT HAPPENED!” he said, rushing to the side of the bed, and grazing his hands across my arms. I just stared at him with a scared look on my face, my eyes probably popping out of my head. I pushed the “nurse call” button oh so discreetly. The creepy kid gave me a questioning look.

“Don’t you remember me?” he unintentionally yelled. Garyn threw an arm over my chest protectively and sneered at the boy.

“I’m Daken. Daken Walters.” He slumped down his shoulders and looked at me with a sort of grey face.

“Uh…” was all I said.

“We were Myspace friends, silly.” Daken laughed off the awkwardness surrounding him.

Nurse Jackson and Nurse Lio came in, very nonchalantly, with security right behind them.

“Get out.” Nurse Jackson said, and Daken was out. I’m guessing they knew that it was this kid bothering me, because I never really push my call button. I’m surprised that they hadn’t come up to see what he was doing, running through a hospital.

I threw my heavy body back down into a comfortable sleeping position in the bed with Garyn still laying beside me. Still. That made me smile, hugely.

“Now that that’s over with…” Garyn mumbled before nestling his head in the crook of my neck. I could feel his breath fanning my neck, and the oxygen coming through the tubes in my nose, and I fell back to sleep like that.

 

And then

 

fuck.

 

“Get up, get up, get up, get-” I felt someone’s linky finger poke my cheek.

 

“I’m up.”

 

“Get up.”

 

“I’m up.”

 

“Get up.”

 

“I’m up.”

 

“I’m up.”

 

“I’m..”

 

“Up? Yeah, I noticed.” Les said sarcastically as I sat myself up and looked over at the clock.

7:24 pm it read. Damn, how long did I sleep for? Garyn kissed my cheek and stared into my eyes for what seemed like quite a long time.

 

“okay, you two. Break it up.” my mom said. “Med time.” Oh hell.

“No! I do not think that Hans really did plan to love Anna, I think he had his takeover idea from the start!” I fought.

“No he didn’t! He loved Anna!” Lesley and I were fighting about- well I bet you can guess. Frozen came on the tv while Garyn was searching through the channels for me.

“Can we all just be Panda , please?” Adem butt in.

“What the shit, Adem?” Tyler screeched in his ear, making them both wince. We all laughed.

“I’ll be back, just gonna go get something ‘real quick.” Garyn got up and left the room, not forgetting his wallet.

About five minutes later, he came tumbling into the room with his hand behind his back and fighting a smile. He reached the side of my bed and bent down to eye level, presenting two huge daisies.

“Flowers for mi’lady,” he grinned. “And a tulip for her mother.” Garyn handed my mom a yellow-pink tulip and grinned. But then I stopped. Someone was in the doorway. He was here.

Who was he, you ask?

My dad.

Shit.
