Breaking Old Habits

chapter 5: that first gentle touch

"Woah woah, wait what?!" I asked Mrs. Lawley over the phone in a panic.

"Well sweetheart, he got into an accident on his way to get you. He was rushing because he didn't want to be late and when he accidentally ran a read light and someone t-boned him." She answered my question thoroughly. But not thoroughly enough for my panicked state.

"W-w-w-why in the world would he rush for me!!!! I can wait!!! Is he crazy!" I just started spitting out everything coming to mind. Like word vomit. I was so worried I just started blabbering.

"Maggie, honey, calm down, I'm very worried too but he's okay. He isn't in critical condition or anything he just needs to stay in the hospital over night and when he comes home he needs to rest. He broke his left wrist, and beat up his hip pretty bad. He hurt his back some too but he's alive and that's what matters. It could have been worse." Mrs. Lawley tried comforting me with words. It helped a little. But not enough.

"O-o-okay I'm coming to the hospital right now!" I staggered through my house to find my keys and ran out the door looking awful because I had yet to get ready for Kian and I's non happening date.

I drove like a mad woman but not unsafe or anything.

When I got to the hospital I immediately talked to the lady at the front desk,

"Hi I'm here to see Kian Lawley, he just arrived a bit ago from a car accident." I asked the lady behind the desk, typing vigorously on her computer like she was in some kind of hurry.

"Um yes, are you immediate family?" The lady questioned me.

"No but I was invited here by his mother, if you call down to the room I'm sure she'll tell you." I let the lady know.
But then at that moment a slim, mid height woman with brown hair started walking toward me,

"Hi yes I'm the mother of the patient she is asking to see, last name: Lawley." She clearly stated.

"Hi Mrs. Lawley nice to meet you," I slightly smiled, "where's Kian?"

"She can come with me right ma'am?" Kians mom said to the lady at the desk.

"If she's with you, then yes I suppose." The middle aged, red headed lady gave in seeing that we obviously new of each other though we didn't necessarily 'know' each other.

"Thank you, this way Maggie." Mrs. Lawley signaled me to follow her.

I walked into the room to seeing Kian on the hospital bed smiling at me, almost as if he were glad I was present.

"Oh my gosh Kian why would you rush like that just to get to me, I could've waited what were you thinking, your crazy, I can't believe you....!!!!!!" Words just kept spinning off my tongue until a gentle force stopped me, the gentle force of soft, kind, excited lips and a gentle touch to my cheek of Kians soft yet tough palm and long slim fingers.

The only thing meandering through my head was, that I haven't brushed my teeth since this morning.
