Rob-A-Bye My Future Part 1

Hospital Scene

Carlton's Point Of View

The last thing I remember was sitting in a uncomfortable hospital chair waiting for Katie to wake up. Next thing I know I hear the monitor flat line and I jerk awake. It picked up again, thank god. I would not lose Katie.

Speaking of Katie, I looked to her and noticed her eyes were opened, and looking right at me.

"Katie?" I said, almost whispered. I jumped up and hugged her, putting my head in her shoulder. She didn't move for a moment, but then she wrapped her arms around me. I am slightly ashamed at what I then did. I cried.

Cried!

Carlton Lassiter does not cry. Yet here I am.

She rubbed soothing circles on my back and tried to comfort me. I pulled away and stared at her incredulously.

"your the one I the hospital. I should be comforting you. " I said.

"but I haven't been worrying about me. I've been off in limbo not know what was going on. Besides, you look like you were in the hospital as well. " She said pointing to my arm. I looked down at it and shrugged. I would gladly get hurt a thousand times again and again then have had Katie in that car when it exploded.

"what did you do to get it in a sling?" She asked softly.

"It got cut up pretty bad when I pulled you from the car." I told her. She gasped and I looked at her frantically trying to figure out what was wrong. Thee doctors said she wouldn't be in pain when she woke up. Instead of saying something like, I don't know, ow, or how bad am I hurt she asked something completely different.

"please tell me it wasn't my car that exploded. " She asked in desperation. I just stared at her then threw my head back and laughed. It was a bit hysterically, Ill admit.

"what?" She asked, a little annoyed I was laughing.

"it's just" I started to say, wiping a few tears that had appeared from laughing to hard. "I mean" I tried to say, but I couldn't get the words out from laughing. She raised an eyebrow and I got himself under control.

"so far, you've comforted me about what happened and asked about your car. It seems like you don't care about your well being. Like your priorities always hold everything else above yourself. It's refreshing, and probably not as funny as I thought." I admitted slightly embarrassed.

"you have showed three emotions I never thought you would be comfortable enough to show in front of me." She stated. Maybe she hit her head a little too hard.

" Also, I know the future of a lot of people here, except myself. As of right now, I don't really like the ending, so I'm doing my best to change minor things in hopes if a better outcome." She continued to say.

"and what's the better outcome?" I asked curiously.

"one where you guys get hurt as little as possible. " She said shrugging her shoulders.

"And yourself?" I asked. She wasn't planning on putting herself in danger because of that idiot Shawn was she?

"I told you, I have no idea. As far as I know, I have no future here." I was about to say something else, But the other walked into the room.

Juliet was first, and she froze when she saw Katie was up. Juliets eyes were still red from crying. She was very upset about what happened, convinced that she should have told Katie to wait to go out.

Next came Shawn who had his arm around Juliet and a small wet stain on his shoulder. I know he was comforting her earlier. His eyes looked a little red as well.

Last came Gus and he also looked like he had been crying. There was a lot of that happening today.

"Katie!" Juliet cried and ran over to Katie to give her a hug. She pulled back immediately, probably afraid she hurt Katie.

"I'm fine. Give me a hug!" She said. Juliet laughed and cried at the same time. When she stood up straight again Shawn gave her a hug.

"Don't you ever pull a Corrine Chartoff again, do you hear me? You forced all of here to spend time with each other." Shawn said making another one of his infamous obscure movie reference. Though this one I had actually seen.

"I think you mean Laura Chartoff, Shawn. Corrine was the sister." Gus said giving Katie a hug as well.

"I've heard it both ways." Shawn said. Gus seemed to have a reply to this but a nurse came in and started saying how Katie needed rest. Looking at her she looked like she was exhausted.

Everyone filed out of the room, me being the last one out. I looked back at her and her and she seemed to be asleep.

"Someday, I'll have the courage to tell you how scared I was that I would lose you." I said before turning and walking out of the room.
