The Unexpected Kiss
Chapter 19
Abbey and I just sat on the bench for the next 10 minutes as I told her the whole story and she just patted my back. Every time someone passed and gave us a weird look, she gave them one that I swear if looks could kill, every single one of them would be on the ground. She was the best friend ever!
"A-and t-t-then, the ambulance c-came and t-took him away," I whimpered as I finished the story.
"Awwwww, boo it will be okay," Abbey cooed as she brushed her fingers through my hair, "we can go over to the hospital right now."
I sat straight up, "N-not right away. I don't want to see him all hooked up to machines, I'll just be a mess."
"Okay then, we can just go home for now," she started to help me off the bench.
Then Hunter started walking down the street. His reaction was the same as Abbey's. He sprinted over to us and helped Abbey with me before he said anything.
"Oh my gosh Rosalie, what happened?"
I started to sob again. Abbey gave him a look and he shrugged in confusion. She sighed but explained the entire thing. He listened quietly, but I saw him shudder when he heard that Zach passed out. They were best friends after all. He agreed to help me to my house, but then he was going right to the hospital. I had one arm around both of their shoulders and we walked (they walked, I trudged) all the way home. Hunter said he was going home so his mom could get him to the hospital. I thanked him and he gave me a hug. We were both really scared. Both of us loved Zach.
"Alright Ro," that was Abbey's name for me, "you get your butt in the shower and I'll make us a snack before we go to the hospital."
I dragged myself upstairs and went into my room. I collapsed on my bed and turned over to look at the time. It was 8 p.m. That got my mind thinking. Where were my parents? And Violet? I got my phone out of my bag and dialed my mom's cell number. After 5 rings she finally answered.
"Hello?"
"Mom, it's me. Where are you, dad, and Violet?" damn, my voice was really bad. She was bound to pick up on it.
"We went out to dinner, we thought you would get something to eat with Zach. There's food in the fridge. And honey, what in world happened to your voice?"
"Long story, I'll tell you later. But right now, Zach just went to the hospital. We kinda got into a fight, and he slammed his fist in a tree. He passed out and I'm going up to the hospital soon. So if I'm not home that's where I am." I rambled to her.
"Ok, but how are you planning on getting there?" she asked.
Crap, hadn't thought about that. Wait... idea! "I'm sure Abbey's mom will take us."
"Ok honey, but be safe. Tell Zach we all hope he gets better."
"Ok mom, love you. Bye."
I hung up and ran to the shower. I think I took the quickest shower of my life that night. I decided to just wear jean shorts and a light blue v-neck. I grabbed basically the same outfit for Abbey (her shirt was lime green) since she was still in her suit. My hair was soaking wet so I just put it in a messy bun. I didn't even bother with make-up. I was going to a hospital!
I ran downstairs to find peanut butter and jelly cracker sandwiches, sliced apples, and a glass of lemonade on the table. Weird how Abbey knew where everything was in my house.
I tossed her the clothes and she said, "Eat everything, I already ate so I'll just get changed and we can go."
She ran to the main level bathroom and I started eating. By the time I was done and had put the plates in the sink, she was out and at the front door.
"By the way Ab, can your mom take us?"
"Duhhhh, how blonde do you think I am?" she said as I locked the door behind us.
I just laughed at her. She knew how to make any situation better. As we ran the all of 2 minutes to her house, the images of Zach from earlier crept back into my mind. I shuddered and thought about if Zach would make it. He has too! I screamed at myself, you couldn't live if he didn't! I knew that part was true, but I just couldn't ignore the sharp pain in my heart.
