Fifteen Minutes

Chapter 4

Bones

I can barely stay in the wheelchair as I see Tatum's car drive up, an empty passenger seat just for me. Tatum gets out of the car to help me get in, along with two other nurses. I feel my grin grow even wider as I finally get fixated into the leather seat (would have been nicer if I didn't have hundreds of chords hooked up to me like I was some kind of gaming computer).

Tatum converses with a nurse as I look around in the car. It's been five months since I sat in this seat, and the last memory I had in it was not a pretty one...I'm hoping that will change though.

Tatum takes his seat next to me again, resting his forearm on the wheel as he glances back at Angel's car pulling in beside us. I spot Damien rolling down the window from the back of her car, him and Reese making dumb looking faces at me- which makes me crack a smile. They communicate back and forth, until they eventually decide on meeting at Tatum's house. Angel drove off, leaving Tatum and I in a sketchy hospital hotel parking lot alone. He looks over at me, breaking into a smile  

"Let's get the hell out of here." He snickered 

I feel an emotion I hadn't felt in months...Happiness.

I examine as Tatum pulls out his phone from his front trouser pocket, taking the audio cord that was already plugged into the car with his other hand. He plugged in his phone and flipped through it, until blasting through the speakers and filling my eardrums was Tatum and mine's favorite song.

(dear reader, if you would like to know what song to play here to go with your reading, Tatum and Bone's favorite song is Pleaser by Willows!) 

The song causes me to perk up and break out into a laugh. Tatum's smile grows as he quickly stepped on the gas, speeding down and out of the hospital parking lot.

I look back at the dull hospital I was once stuck in, and put my middle finger out the window- just to give it one last 'Fuck you'.
