21 | Take Me To The Hospital
"Hey Wyatt? Can you take me to the hospital?"
He was currently lazing on the couch scrolling through his phone.
"No." He says not even bothering to look up.
"Please?" He finally looks up from his phone.
"Why? Are you hurt?" He asks me and I sense a teeny bit of concern in his tone.
"N-no my brother just woke up and h― "
"No."
My lip wobbles as I blink away the oncoming tears.
Fucking asshole.
I bite my lip as my fingers blindly move through the screen on my phone. My vision blurs up with tears as I look for a Uber.
None.
There's not even one cab in the radius of twenty miles.
Shit. Shit. Shit.
I will my legs to move and rush away from there, hitting my leg on the table as I go.
"You okay, Miss?" A concerned voice asks and I turn to look at Max.
"C-Can you take me to the hospital? P-please?" A metallic taste fills my lip when I bite too hard at my lip to control a sob.
Max looks like he wants to question me but nods and leaves for the garage.
"Can I come too?" Keagon asks tugging at my skirt and I wipe my eyes quickly as I crouch down to her height.
"I think you should stay home, sweety. It's late." I give her an assuring smile.
"But I am scared. There's no one here." Keagon mumbles.
Carol wasn't at home and now Max is taking me so the only one at home will be Wyatt. Maybe Wyatt can take care―
"No. I don't want to stay with Wyatt. All he does is glare at me. It's kind of .... Creepy." Keagon blinks here eyes thrice, her cue that she wants to cry.
"Come on," I mumble tugging on her hand. We get into the car and Wyatt comes rushing through the door and gets into the car quickly.
"Why is he here?" Keagon asks me and I shrug not wanting to talk about him.
All I wanted was for him to take me to the damn hospital to see my brother and he couldn't even do that. God knows why I liked him in the first place.
Yes, I am over with my crush on him.
I do not like Wyatt King anymore.
Meredith the nurse had called and asked me to come over. She mentioned that Kyle was awake and that I needed to come as soon as possible. Something about her tone was off... like something bad had happened.
I jump out of the car before Max can park and rush into the hospital.
Soon I am standing in front of Kyle's door. I take a deep breath before I enter. He looks the same but kind of paler with some facial air, it's weird because Kyle always has a tan and a clean-shaven face.
"What's wrong with him?" I ask the doctor who is looking at some files. He is the same doctor who performed the surgery - Dr. Hall.
"Tell me, what's wrong with him," I scream when the doctor takes too long to answer.
"Miss, calm down." The nurse says.
"Tell me what's wrong with my brother," I scream again, my breathing shallow. Why the hell is the doctor not answering?
"He is in a coma."
Coma.
He won't wake up.
My legs buckle down and I fall down.
Coma.
"Lots of patients wake up from a Coma, have faith - your brother will be okay." The kind nurse says but I don't look at her - because I know she's lying.
My mom went into a coma too. We waited for five whole months. She never woke up.
Kyle won't wake up either. I know, he won't.
My throat closes up and I struggle to breathe. Panic attack.
I try taking deep breaths but my body just doesn't allow me to. It's like I am fully closing up.
"Hey, hey, calm down. It's going to be okay. I swear." A soothing voice says into my ear.
"Now, take deep breaths. Slow down."
I do just as the voice tells me and I am finally able to breathe properly.
"Here," Wyatt thrusts a glass of water to me and I drink it up.
"Why are you here? To laugh over me?" I ask as I lay my head against Kyle's bed.
"Uh no. Why would you think that?" Wyatt asks raising an eyebrow.
"Well, what else can I expect from you?" I mutter.
I mean he did say some very rude unkind things to a little kid.
"I am not that bad," Wyatt argues and I quirk an eyebrow up and he shuts up.
"So how did you know what to do during a panic attack? I mean you handled it well during the party too."
Wyatt takes a moment to answer.
"Someone close to me used to have panic attacks all the time, so I got used to it." Wyatt shrugs.
"Was it a girl?" I ask before I can control myself.
Wyatt turns to look at me and his lips quirk up into a smirk.
"Why? You jealous babe?"
"First off, don't call me babe. It's disgusting. And why would I be jealous?"
"Whatever you say, babe."
I roll my eyes and sit up straight, purposely not looking at the sleeping Kyle.
"Where is Keagon?" I ask him. I wait for a rude comment from him, but it doesn't come.
"I sent her home with Max."
Oh. That's actually kind of considerate of him. I wouldn't have wanted Keagon to see me while I am at my lowest.
But he's still an asshole.
"T-thanks," I mumble and he shrugs.
"Let's go home," I mumble and walk out if the hospital, in no mood to deal with anything. Wyatt thankfully follows without a comment.
We walk all the way home since Max had taken the car back home. He doesn't make small talk so I don't bother either.
When we reach the house, I yawn. It's like 9 pm, I am hungry, tired, and sad.
I am about to go in when Wyatt speaks up.
"Hey, do you want to go somewhere?"
"Where?"
"It's a secret."
"No." I mumble and turn around ready to go in.
"What? Please! I promise you won't regret it." He says and I roll my eyes.
"Why would I go with you? All you've done is be rude to me and Keagon."
Hell, he wants me to leave his house with Keagon.
He purses his lips lightly.
"I am... Sorry. But I promise you will like it. And I won't be rude to Keagon anymore."
I watch him closely, he does seem sincere.
"Promise?"
"Promise."
"Swear?"
"Swear."
"Pinky promise?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Pinky promise." He rolls his eyes and hooks his pinky with mine. "Now, come on." He drags me to the garage to get his BMW.
"No way, not today. I have school tomorrow and I am hella tired, maybe tomorrow. Good night." I mumble getting my hand out of his.
"You really aren't coming?"
"No," I mumble and walk into the house. He swears under his breath but follows me into the house.
"Where were you two?"
Carol sits on the couch, looking at documents.
"I've been waiting for an hour and it's almost 11'o clock." Carol looks up and squints at us like a strict mother.
"Uh- Max left with the car, so we had to walk back home." Wyatt true to his character blames someone else - Max.
"You could've booked a cab." Carol squints at us again.
"I forgot my phone." He answers easily and shrugs.
"Guess what? The lawyer came home early so..." Carol smiles and pulls a wad of papers from her files.
"Honestly, I don't care about the company, Mom." Wyatt sighs as he falls back onto the couch with a blissful smile.
I freeze. It's not company-related papers.
I know it before Carol opens her mouth.
"Keagon is now officially Keagon Marie King."

Okay, I feel like that's really poorly written.
I just don't even know what to write anymore.
So, I had participated in an awards and The Hoodie Girl was rated 27/50. I got full points for spelling, 7/10 for grammar, 3/5 for organization but 1/5 for title and 6/20 for originality. I know there are a lot of The Hoodie girl stories on Wattpad but I tried making mine as different as possible... right? Idk.
I just feel really down about it :(
okay, so back the story lol.
Kyle is in a coma, will he wake up? What do you think?
AND Keagon is officially a part of The King family. What do you think is going to happen?
Theories, ideas, anything? Let me know :D
Question of the chapter - What cartoon do you still like to watch? I'll reveal mine in the next chapter if anyone replies :)
The last chapter's question was my most embarrassing moment, so I am going to tell mine now since a lot of you guys had replied. Every time I watch The Lion King, I reenact the opening scene with my dog, thanks to my open windows - my neighbors know that now lol.
And another one was when I went with my cousin to a party hosted by one of her friends. This happened like a year ago - I told one of her friends that "that old guy is trying to hit on you."
And guess what she said? "That's my boyfriend." -_-
p.s - would you guys like it if I post longer chapters?
Happy reading!
