The Tale Of The Brit And The Bad Boy

Chapter 24: The Hospital

Cherry POV

Four hours and nothing.

I've done so many bad things in the past and left unharmed, but I've done just as many good things, even if it doesn't seem like it, I did. I helped Anna, I practically ended up in hospital for having a go at a barbie because she was being all up in my grill and other peoples too. 

But I've never experienced any of that myself, but today I'm in a hospital and is sickenly nice and smells like a dentist, I've always loved going to the dentist, mainly because we used to get massive Hannah Montana stickers, but this, this is just fugding unbelievable.

I'm outside the room my brother is kept in, and all I can think about is the fact that, he may or may not make it out alive. 

"Cherry"

"Mum? Dad?" there stood the heartbreaking view of my parents looking torn, tears streaming down my mums face and tear stains on my dads.

"How did you get here so fast?"

"Took the closest flight here, come here darling" dad said, I hugged my parents, I was already past my mums height, so it was a bit weird but still comforting. Tears were obviously escaping, but I'm sure lots of people would be broken if that happened to them.

"You alright darling? The policeman said you got into an argument with him, just to get to Greg-" she lost her voice when she said Greg's name. "-I'm really proud of you Cherry pie, you care, and you stayed strong" You would never think my mum would be crying, and saying things like this to me, no one would actually. But really, I'm her little baby, and I like being her little baby, no matter how old I am, so was Greg, he still is. If anything happened she would be torn less than seconds after hearing the news. 

"Cherry, come here" my dad pulled me into a hug and kissed my forehead "I'm proud too, it must've been hard, I know you were the closest to Greg out of everyone, but you're strong and you can stay strong for mummy and me, okay?" I nodded my head, snuggling more into my dads arms.

"Sit down okay?" I nodded and we all sat down, I rested my head on my mums shoulder as she stroked my hair, I let the tears flow, my dads head was in his hands.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"Cherry, Cherry wake up" my mum gently shook me. I opened my eyes, it's definitely night time, but the hallways were still lit up.

"Hmm?" I rubbed my eyes and stretched, and my eyes felt so crusty from all the dry tears. 

"I think you might want to go and check up on Ash, he's around the corner" I nodded, I did not feel like saying anything, I probably looked like a mess, but I didn't care, it's not like I ever cared about what I looked like anyway.

I walked around the hallway and turned to the corner, Ash was there by himself, where's his parents?  

"Ash" he lifted his head.

"Cher Bear" his voice was so fragile and he looked just lik me, so broken, not knowing whether his brother was going to be alright or not. 

I sat down next to him. 

"Did you get any news yet?"

"No, you?"

"No, I just don't know what's gonna happen though, I'm worried Ash"

"So am I, it was a bad crash, but it might not be bad or it could lead to the worse"

"Where's your parents?" he stiffened.

"I don't have actual parents Cher Bear, me and Caleb are...we're adopted"

"I'm so sorry, do they know though?"
