Alone(A Fourtris Story)

21:Hospital

Read the A/N at the bottom. OMG LAST POST OF THE YEAR!

The paramedics hauled Tobias away in the ambulance. I rushed back to Zeke's house and burst through the door. They all still sat in a circle, completely un aware of what just happened. Their heads snapped up momentarily before they went back to the game.

Aggravated, I stomped into the middle of the circle.

"GUYS. Four. Hospital.Now." I shouted.

Quickly and without question they scrambled to their cars. I clambered into one with Zeke and Uriah. The brothers sat in the front seat and I sat in the back. Wet tears ran down my face as I wondered what happened. Poor Tobias has had so many bad things happen in his life and he is the last person who deserves it.
Zeke sped into the hospital parking lot, eyes roaming the asphalt for a spot to park in. As soon as the car was parked I flew through the door. My feet slapped the asphalt as I ran into the main office. The lady at the front desk ignored me until I addressed her.

"Four? Eaton. is he okay?" I asked

"What is your relation to him?"

"I'm his dammed girlfriend now is he
okay?" I say, extremely annoyed.

"He's currently in surgery, we'll tell you how he is when he gets out." She says shortly. I grunt in frustration and plop down in a seat next to Zeke, who had run in not long after me.
Two long hours later a doctor appeared, still in his scrubs, at the doorway.

"Four?" He called out I saw at least one person duck( get it. Cuz golf? No alright) I jumped up and went over to the doctor, my friends following close behind. We looked at the man expectantly. He looked down at us and smiled tightly.

"Fours friends?" He asked and we nodded "He sprained his wrist and ankle. He has a slight concussion, but nothing serious. Visiting hours are over but I'll let one of you go and see him, though he's still out cold"

Everyone looked to me and I smiled.
The doctor showed me to his room and let me inside. The faint shriek of the heart monitor resonates through the small, white room. I sit in the plain grey chair next to Tobias's bed and brush his hair out of his eyes. His face is peppered with bruises and stitches cross a small cut on his forehead. A cast wraps around his ankle and an Ace bandage holds his wrist. My head rests on the hard mattress and the rhythmic sound if Tobias's breathing sends me to sleep.

Stained moaning wakes me from my peaceful sleep. My eyes snap open and dart around the room, searching for the source of the noise. Eventually they land on Tobias who's eyelids flutter open. I slide the chair that I sit in closer to his bed and take his hand. He looks at me, squinting from the light, and smiles weakly.

"Hey" I say quietly.
"Hey" he replies in a rough voice.
"How are you felling?" I ask
"Been worse" he says.

A few doctors come walking in and explain what happened. They also say that Tobias has to be on crutches for two weeks. Tobias is also aloud to leave whenever he wants. Obviously he wanted to leave as soon as they told him he could.
I signed the papers as Tobias was wheeled into the lobby. He was so busy complaining and insisting that he didn't need a wheel chair that he didn't know we were at the car. He maneuvered into the passenger seat and I got into the drivers side. Our friends had gone home earlier so we didn't need to worry about them.
The ride home was silent. Not an awkward silence, but a good one.

As soon as the car was stopped in the driveway I grabbed Tobias's crutches out of the trunk. He had his door open and was insisting that he didn't need crutches. After much persuasion he took the crutches and, very unsteadily, made his way into the house.

Since it's Saturday we stayed home and watched movies. In a sudden burst of insecurity I turned towards Tobias.
"Why do you like me?"
"What?" He asks and I repeat the question
"why wouldn't I? Your selfless and smart and kind and beautiful and you accepted me for who I am." I smile at this.
"So what do you like me?" He asks
" Well... your brave and smart and handsome and you didn't ask me to be something I'm not" I say
We sit wrapped in each others arms for a while before we both fall into a deep sleep.
