Did You Really Save Me

Chapter Sixty

Max POV

I walk into the hospital like a zombie, I don't bother asking the front desk what room to go to. I know if off by heart. They don't try to stop me either, knowing who I am and who I am visiting. I open the door and laying on the bed is my mother. She luckily survived the shot but they put her into a medically induced coma to help her heal.

I know she isn't dead but just the thought and what-ifs are still lurking in my mind. There are flowers decorating her bedside table, coming from the Article and Skull members. Cards saying 'get well soon!' accompany them. The smell of the hospital makes me feel sick but I only stay for my mother.

I sit on a chair next to her bed and tell her about my day and what has happened since she was asleep, the doctors said she may be able to hear what I'm saying but she wouldn't be able to process it. That didn't bother me so every day I came in and spoke to her. The doctor's said they will be waking her up in a couple of days. I was excited but also nervous.

--------------------

As I open the front door to our house I am surprised to see no-one home. I walk towards the fridge to get something to eat when I notice a note on stuck on the door with sticky tape. We will be back soon, just getting some things. It reads, I shrug and open the fridge to find some food. Now that my father is gone I have no-one to be cautious about.

I sigh and sit down on the lounge, mentally exhausted from stressing about my mother's condition. I place the sandwich I found in the fridge on the glass coffee table and I lay on the couch, my eyes growing heavy as silence surrounds me. Soon I doze off to sleep in a dreamless sleep.

--------------------

I hear low mutters and chatter around me as I stir from my sleep on the couch. I scrunch up my face and sigh. I slowly open my eyes to find myself in my bed with the members surrounding me. "Why are you guys here?" I croak out, they smile at me. "We found you on the couch and you didn't look comfortable so we moved you here," Travis explained to me as I sat up still trying to process everything. "How's everyone going?" I ask, they all look a bit shocked at the question. "W-What do you mean by that Max?" Caleb asks, stuttering in his words.

"Well, how are you all after the 'father incident'?" I used air quotes to get my point across. "Well I think we're okay?" Sean states a bit sadly, "I would hope if anyone wasn't feeling too good about it they would tell me." Sean looks around at the other members with a certain look in his eyes. A look of love.
