"Wh-What? Why?" They asked. Obviously, they were puzzled. And scared.
"Its because the dagger dug too deep into his pec muscle, to the point where he may have to get his arm amputated." Said the doctor. Everyone was just in horror. Especially Skye. After all, she had a crush on him since the day they met at school.
Chase had to be there overnight. Everyone sat in the waiting room. Skye was feeling, well, about as you'd expect. Constantly pacing around the room anxiously, worried that she may never get the opportunity to see him ever again, to confess her true feelings to him.
"Look, I know you're worried, but please stay calm. Chase is a fighter. He'll make it." Marshall comforted her.
"I hope so too."
Moments turned into minutes. Minutes into hours.
"He'll be alright, right?" Skye asked, rather nervously.
"I'm sure. He'll be okay." Marshall replied. He was rather confident in his brother's recovery, but, a small part of him was completely horrified.
What if the operation was unsuccessful?
The doors flew open, the doctor came outside, took off his mask, and sighed. This was enough for the three to jump in joy, because it wasn't a sigh of disappointment like they feared.
It was a sigh of relief.
"He's gonna be alright!"
"LETS GOOO!" They basically started screaming with joy. Their friend wasn't gonna give them up so quickly.
"Can we see him right now?" Rocky asked
"Not really. He's sleeping right now. Let him rest for a few hours. I'll give the medications to his parents. Speaking of which, where are they?" The doctor asked.
"You can give them to me." Skye stepped up.
"Okay. Come to the pharmacy with me. I'll hand them to you from there."
"Okay. Also, how is the other boy now?" Rocky asked
"Oh him. He's okay, but he has to keep his plaster on for a week. Other than that, there's nothing else. There are a few medicines for him too."
"Ill take care of those." Marshall spoke.
The two Went down to the pharmacy with the doctor, who handed him a few tablets and other medication. They knew that it would be a bit hard for the three of them to take care of the house on their own, but they were always up for a challenge.
"I'll inform the police about the incident in the meantime. You all can go home with him if you want."
"Thanks, but, will Chase not come with us?" Skye
"Unfortunately, not right now. I need to make sure that he's completely fine before giving him the green flag." He said.
"Oh okay. Thank you." Marshall said with a smile.
Before leaving, Skye looked through the window. Chase was on the bed, with an arm brace. Eyes shut. Breathing steadily. She really wanted to be with him, but knew that she couldn't. He had been through a lot, and bothering him wasn't the best idea after all. Just before she was about to leave, Chase opened his eyes.
Both of them had their eyes locked on each other. Neither wanted to look away, but they couldn't be staring at each other forever. It was time for them to go. Hoping he would see it, Skye whispered through the window, "Take care of yourself."
He smiled, as if saying, "I will, thank you". Unfortunately, it was getting quite late. They eventually had to split up. She was thankful that he was okay, but still, there was something that was bugging her.
Will it be safe to go out anymore?
They were soon joined by the other victim
"Thank you for helping me." He said
"Oh don't thank us. Thank these guys that responded within minutes. What's your name?" Rocky asked.
"My name is Rubble. Who are you all?"
"I'm Marshall, that's Skye, and this is Rocky."
"Happy to meet you!" He smiled.
They made their way out, thanking everyone who helped them. It was basically midnight, so they hurried home. Everybody just kind of, settled down at the table. Marshall got out his phone, and was just going through what all he had received, when he saw a mail which got his attention.
"Oh for God's sake!" he disappointingly exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Rocky asked. Marshall handed him his phone for him to read. Rocky read it out loud.
" 'We would like to inform you that Adventure Bay High School will be opening from tomorrow at 8 in the morning. There will only be 5 periods a day, each of 45 minutes. You will be informed of the time table later. Regards-Hillary Goodway, Principal.' NOO-"
"Goddammit!". Skye Expressed her anger too
"Oh god no." Rubble gulped.
"Wait why are you upset? Do you go there too?"
"Yea!"
"Cool. But also, Not cool" Marshall said
"Oh well. I guess we'll have to tell them what happened." Rocky said
"Probably yea."
"Oh well. Rubble, where do you live?" Skye asked
"I've lived alone probably my whole life"
"Wait really?"
"Yea. Well my mum died just after I was born, and my dad died in a car crash coming home from work. That's all I remember basically. I've always been alone."
"Oh.. I.. uhm.. sorry for asking."
"Oh no need to be." He sighed.
It was getting close to 1 A.M. They wouldn't have slept if it weren't for School. Rocky and Rubble slept together in Marshall's room, Skye slept in Chase's room, and Marshall was about to sleep on the couch, but Skye called him to the room for a chat.
"Marshall, would you mind sleeping here? I don't really like sleeping all alone." She asked
"Not a problem Eve- uh, I mean, Skye" He stuttered, and instantly regretted it
"Eve huh, cute name for her. You're probably excited to see her." She teased him.
"Uh, n-no-" He stuttered, which made Skye giggle a bit.
"Night Marshall."
"Night."
Both of them fell asleep rather quickly, but while Marshall was dreaming about his, well, Dream Girl, Skye was analysing all that happened that day. From the accident, to the ambulance ride. From the anxious period of doubts and fear, to the immense happiness that followed. Chase was coming home tomorrow, which made her happy, but there was a question in her mind, which irritated and scared her.
Will her parents be able to arrive safely?
Yes, I know. This has taken a REALLY long time to come out. And yes, its STILL dumb, but that's because I've decided to change a lot about this story. i still had to continue with all the dumb things that I wrote before, and this will still be dumb, but it will be a bit, less dumb. Maybe. oh well, sorry for the delay. I know some of you want to kill me, but, kalm.
Anyways, Chapter 10 coming out in, actually, i cant really promise anything, so, its a surprise :3
Welp, BAII :3
