What if? (A deh and heathers story)

Chp.9 How Do You Know

Veronica's POV

Heidi twisted the metallic doorknob. I proceeded to move forward. This was my second chance at seeing JD with Evan, except this time JD may be conscious.

I heard the door squeak, signaling it has opened. We both cautiously walked in. Even though I have been in this room several times, I am still slow and hesitant. Perhaps I try to collect my thoughts before I come in or I begin to stress out. I will never know. Although, this time I didn't feel as concerned.  I felt a pinch of relief knowing JD might be awake.

"Okay, try to careful with JD because he has many healing wounds. Again, because he has moved does not mean he is awake. JD might only be more aware of stuff." Heidi informed.

I do not attempt to listen to what Heidi said, as I jump onto the cot beside JD. I lifted my hand on his chest, he felt cold. I expected him to feel like that. yet, I was unprepared for the touch. He had a type of mask clear on. Which, I assumed was used for breathing. There were also many clear wires connecting to JD.

"How did the b-boys move?" Evan questioned while staring at JD's seemingly lifeless body.

"JD just held his eyes open, it doesn't seem like much but it means progress." She stated seeming to forget Evan said 'boys' instead of 'boy'.

Evan nodded his head up and down. "Where are you going next?"

Heidi searched through the papers on her clipboard. "I'm heading to the other boy's room I told you about. It might take a minute until I have to go. Why?" She responded with a calm and questioning tone.

"He's my fr-fr-friend from school." He tried to correct himself. "No, never mind he's only an acquaintance. I just want to give him a visit."

"I'll try to see if you come later then." She shifted her gaze, "and for you, I have to give JD a new IV."

I scooted my legs off the cot and jumped off. "Evan, that's Connor correct? He's in a coma."

Heidi continued to replace the little bag of liquid and jab the IV into JD's arm. "How do you both know?"

"I know be-be-because you told me that Connor was in the hos-hos-hospital?" His statement came out more like a question.

"Evan, I only told you that they were both in the hospital. How do know?" Heidi's voice deepened, becoming sterner. It was a strange tone.

"I-I only know because I v-visited him." Evan's eyebrows furrowed and his voice raised. "Then, I assumed he was in a c-c-coma. You happy now?" His voice dripping sarcasm, his tone become softer.

"I knew you visited him!" She replied. Her voice was more childish.

Evan walked closer to the cot. "How do you know?" His tone mimicking Heidi's

"Uno reverse card!" I yelled while giving Evan and Heidi finger guns.

Then the room turned to laughter.

"Okay, okay, what happened is Barbara called. She told me how you were going to see Connor."
