Chapter 5

"Where's Sam?" Colby asked, confused. Everyone's faces drooped as Colby wonder where his best friend was. "And Kat?" Everyone exchanged looks realizing that they forgot about Kat until Elton decided to speak up about Sam's location. "Um... Colby?" Elton said, walking over to sit in the chair on the left of Colby's bed. Colby looked at Elton, still confused and wanting to know where his best friend was. Elton gave him an apologetic smile. "Oh no. What happened?" Colby asked, already knowing it's not a good reason why Sam wasn't there. Elton sighed, embracing the air before it was filled with even more sadness than before. "Sam was in a car accident." Elton finally let out, tearing up as he watched Colby's happiness disappeared from the crying blue eyed boy. "What? How did it happen?" Colby asked through his tears. Elton sniffled as he looked at everyone. Devyn's face was snuggled into Corey's hoodie as he hugged her while she cried, Aaron and Amanda were looking at the ground, and Jake had his arm around Tara as she let her tears drop down her face while watching poor Colby cry as he found out his best friend is in the hospital like himself. "He went to get Chipotle as we waited to hear your results from one of the nurses and on his way back, there was a drunk Mack truck driver that slammed into the back of Sam's car." Elton finally said, trying to hold back his tears as Amanda came walking up to wrap her arm around him in comfort. Colby sat there, sobbing as he wanted to see his best friend there with him. Memories of the duo came rushing back as he finally pushed them away before everyone came in since he was expecting Sam to be there with them. By now, everyone was crying. As Colby watched everyone, he wondered to himself. I wonder if Sam's okay.

Sam still couldn't open his eyes as he was wheeled into one of the rooms with the curtains instead of walls. "We need to lift him up so we could lay him on the bed." One of the nurses said as Sam felt someone tug at the gurney sheets. After a moment he heard a countdown and with that, he was being lifted and set onto a comfier bed. "Can you schedule a CT scan?" Sam heard the doctor ask someone. Beep beep beep beep. "His BP is dropping again." One of the nurses said, trying to find something as she was shuffling her feet hurriedly on the floor. "We need Hydralazine pronto!" He heard the doctor yell. "Found it!" One of the nurses yelled. Oh shit. I'm gonna die, aren't I? Sam! Don't think that! He thought to himself. I wonder if Colby's okay. Memories came again and he felt something jab into his arm. Ah. There's the needle. Within a couple of minutes, the beeping went back to normal once again. Beep. Beep. "Now let's take him to the CT before his BP drops again." He heard the doctor say. After a few moments, he felt his eyelids begin to open. as he looked around, he noticed that no has realized his eyes are open. As he's looking at the roof, he realized that it was moving. When he looked to the side, he saw a nurses hands on the bar of the bed and she was running. He looked to the other side and saw a different person doing the same thing. He looked up at that person's face. It was a young woman who looked not much older than him. 3 years at the most. She had golden curls locked up by a hair tie as she looked down at him with ocean blue eyes that reminded him of Colby. Wait. Why did I think of Colby when I saw her eyes? A lot of people have blue eyes. That seems gay and I'm straight. Again, no offense to gay people. He thought to himself. "Guys. He's awake." Everyone looked at him. "We're taking you to the CT room so we can get a look at you to see if there's anything wrong that we haven't already found." What you haven't already found?! Does that mean I have internal bleeding or something?! He started freaking out. Beep beep beep beep. Sam arched his back off of the bed and slammed it back down. "He's going into cardiac arrest." He heard someone say before he couldn't here or see. "Okay, we need to get him into a room as fast as we can." The doctor said to no one in particular. "Go to the OR and get a defibrillator." One of the nurses nodded and ran to the OR. When they finally found an open room, they rolled him in and shut the door. One of the nurses got onto Sam's bed, sat on his hips, and started pushing on his heart to do CPR. "Come on. Come on. Come on." The nurse repeated as the abnormal beeping continued. The doctor was running around trying to find a needle full of Epinephrine, also known as Adrenaline so they can reverse the cardiac arrest. He finally found it, jabbed it into Sam's outer thigh, (where you're supposed to inject it), and pushed the medicine into his body. The nurse that went to get the machine, already came back moments before. They waited a few minutes so the medicine could flow up to Sam's heart. "Sir, I think he's too far gon--" One of the nurse tried talking, but the doctor interrupted. "Shhh. He'll wake up." A couple minutes pass and the beeping finally went back to normal. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. "Good job, guys. We got'em back." The doctor said, smiling. "Well, let's go get that scan." he said happily. They finally got to the room without any complications and it turns out that the cause of the SCA, (Sudden Cardiac Arrest), was from his lowered blood pressure earlier that day. After the scan, they put Sam in the room he had been in before. A couple minutes later, Sam felt his eyes get droopy again, so he fell asleep.
