Paradise City
part 11.
when i stood up i placed my, amazingly un-broken, mac on the table by the door and took out the movie since it was done and i grabbed the keys to my moms truck and texted her asking if we could visit she agreed and told me the name of the hospital. i handed the keys to Lucas
"can you drive us?" i asked he nodded and i put a coat and shoes on Devon and i turned off the lights and grabbed my phone and turned on the outside light and we walked out to the bitter cold windy day. then i remembered that Liz still needs to come home. i put Devon in the car with Luke and waited inside the door of the house since she'll be home any minute. when the bus pulled up she walked in and looked worried
"Liz, i know you really don't like or trust me. but you have to come with Me, Devon and Lucas to visit your brother Mat" i said kindly
"why.. what's wrong with my brother..." she said slowly
"he got into a really bad car accident.." i said her eyes got wide
"you can't tell Nancy or your dad that i told you though cause they didn't ask me to tell you so if they do end up telling you, you have to be surprised.." i said she nodded and put her back pack on the couch and she ran quickly in the kitchen and grabbed a rice krispy treat and we walked outside and into the car. Lucas started the truck and we were heading to the hospital.
"go slow..." i whispered he looked over to me it was a red light
"what.." he mouthed since the music was loud so the kids couldn't hear us
"we might die.." i mouthed
"why.." he looked confused
"because of my karma!" i said he rolled his eyes. the light turned green and we continued. he actually listened to me since he saw that my leg was shaking and i was clutching on the part of the seat belt that wraps around the waist so the kids can't see that im flipping out. we arrived and we all got out and i held Liz and Devons hands since this neighborhood looked... untrusting to be completely honest. and we walked up the steep stairs and when the sliding doors slid open i let go of Liz's hand but Devon wouldn't let go of mine so i didn't wanna force him off. i picked him up at the front circulation desk and placed him on my hip and the lady had a warm welcoming smile and she looked up at me
"hi, im here to visit my..... Brother Matthew Jones." i said nicely. Liz looked up at me the lady was looking away from me and down at her book so i gave Liz a wink she giggled. the lady looked back at me
"room 143" she smiled i thanked her and we walked but Lucas led
"do you know where that is.." i asked him
"yup." he sighed but his 'p' popped i decided not to ask since he looked pained, and we kept walking down this huge quiet hallway we got to the room and he opened the door for us
"hi mom" i said quietly since Mat was sleeping i handed Devon over to Griffin who looked like he had been crying Liz slipped her arm around my waist and i hugged my mom
"hi Lucas im Nancy" she said with a friendly smile he smiled and introduced himself they shook hands and so did him and Griffin. Liz walked over to her dad and i walked mom out of the room
"how is he.." i asked
"a few broken ribs.. needed stitches in his head above his eyebrow, a broken arm, sore bruised back.." she said i frowned.
"how was your day in- Oh my god!" she said and covered her mouth with one hand and tilted my head lightly up with the other. i raised an eyebrow at her when she let go of my head
"what happened to the bottom of your chin!" she nearly screamed
"i... fell down the stairs, slid, got my leg caught in between the steps and my chin basically broke my fall from me being able to fall completely through the stairs or sliding and more down and so did my elbow.." i said her mouth was still covered with one hand and her eyes got wide
"is it bad?" i asked
"just a little..." she confessed. i sighed
"how long is he in for?" i asked looking through the door window
"a couple days.." she sighed
"is the truck driver suing." i asked
"hope not.. but we never know.." she sighed crossing her arms. i frowned more and we talked some more and we went back in the room Griffin was sitting with his eyes closed and Devon on one side of his lap and on his chest Liz on the other all with their eyes closed all looking so peaceful. my mom grinned and took out her phone and took a picture. i was too focused on Mat. but after i was done looking at him i walked over to Lucas who was texting still looking upset. i walked next to him and put my head on his arm
"you ok." he asked
"not really.." i said quietly
"want me to drive you home.." i asked after a couple minutes
"only if you wanna leave.." he said i nodded and walked over to my mom
"ma.. were leaving.." i said
"ok.. ill call you later though to pick us up because me and Griffin rode in the ambulance." she said
"ok no problem." i said then me and Lucas walked out and down the hall and out the hospital he looked a lot better when we got in the car but i still didn't ask when we got back to my house
"you don't have to leave unless your mom needs you home or something.." i said realizing its 6 o'clock already
"well ill come back but i just need to go home and say hi to her and stuff and talk and do some homework.. if you want ill come back." he said
"please.. im honestly scared to be alone.." i said he nodded and walked out. i walked ever so slowly up to my room and started my homwork. then about a hour, maybe more passed and there was a quick two knocks at my bedroom door and Luke walked in. we talked for awhile and then it was 10 so he had to leave and i walked him down stairs making sure i held on to the railing and then closed and locked the door after he pulled away from the house in his car. and waited till it was time for my mom to come home but she said they'll just take a cab home. and there was a spare key in the mailbox so i just took a shower and went in bed thinking about the long day i had just had.
