Chapter 4

Hey, I'm back! I kind of didn't really write anything new in my holiday but I did write something in between my holidays so cool cool cool. I want to thank everyone for the reviews. And I just wanted to say, that I didn't want Naya to look like a pathetic drunk. Don't you know how she feels? Like just needing a drink to forget everything. It's kind of good that you don't know how she feels because that means you don't know how it feels.

I wanted to mention again that English isn't my first language so I apologize for any mistakes in grammar or spelling. I'm sorry.

I hope you guys like this chapter, I loved writing it.

Me and Shay have canteen duty the next day.I still feel pretty hungover. Shay is walking towards me. Shit. I go and tal with this student who always wants to talk. Rachel Berry. I nod at something she says, I habe no idea what she is talking about. "So Finn suddenly kisses me, but I didn't want to so I pushed him away." "Why didn't you want to? Finn is a nice guy, right?" She sighed. "Yeah, he is nice, but I don't like him." "Nothing wrong with that. You can like who you want to like, doesn't matter who it is, right?" She nods and I see tears filling up her eyes. "Rachel, you okay?" She looks over at the cheerios table and stares at someone. I look at how she stares, it's the 'I'm in love' stare. So I follow her stare and see Quinn Fabray, head cheerleader, just back from teen pregnancy. "Rachel, look at me. You can talk to me if you're ready. Okay?" She nods and gives me a little smile. "Okay, good. I'm going to make my round now." I place a hand on her shoulder and squeeze lightly. "Thanks Mrs. R" "Not a problem, you know where you can find me." I stand up and walk towards the coffee machines when I feel someone watching me. I look around and my eyes meet these beautiful, warm, brown eyes. Shay walks towards me never breaking the eye contact. When I realized that, I turn around and make myself a strong, black coffee. I really need it. "So you look like you've been partying all night, is that your way of celebrating a new school year?" She says with a smile. I roll with my eyes. "Just some personal stuff. Don't worry you're not missing the fun." I look around the canteen. She laughs. "You're a tough one aren't you?" I smile. "You think being teacher of the year, 3 years in a row is easy?" She smiles. "No it isn't easy. I know that. I was it myself in prison. Okay, not fair I was the only teacher." I laugh. "I do respect what you did in prison, you know? It's pretty awesome." She nods. "I know, I'm fabulous!" She laughs, I roll my eyes, again. My coffee was ready so I took it.

On that moment there is a loud scream. I look around and see the glee kids look shocked and scream. "Help! Sam! SAM! Are you alright?" I drop my coffee and sprint over to them and kneel down at Sam. "Sam, what is it?" He grabs at his low stomach. My little past of teaching kids, I kind of know what's possibly wrong with him. Appendix. I hear Shay kneeling down to me. "I've called 911." I nod. "Okay, we should get everyone except Sam, out of the canteen." Mercedes looks at me. "Can I stay? I want to hold his hand." "Of course, okay." I stand up, I take a breath. I raise my voice. "EVERYONE OUT OF THE CANTEEN, PLEASE. GO TO YOUR CLASSES AND," I look around. "FINN, PUCK, MIKE, COME HERE." They run over while everyone else is leaving. "You guys go to the locker room and get me one wet towel and some dry towels. And a bottle of water. Hurry." I see that everyone left and go back to Sam. I grab his hand. "Sam, look at me. Squeeze one time for yes, two times for no." He squeezes one time. "What is the pain on a scale to 1 until 10. One is no pain at all. 10 is extremely much. Squeeze when I say the number of your pain. Okay?" He squeezes. I feel Shay looking at me worried, I give her a look 'Keep calm, he is going to be fine.' "Okay. 1… 2… 3… 4… 5… 6… 7… 8.." He squeezes. "Okay, good job. Keep breathing in and out slowly." The boys come back and give me the towels. "Thanks guys. Good job. Go to your classes as well." They say a couple words to Sam and leave. I put the dry towels under his head and dip his forehead with the wet towel. For some coolness. I grab the bottle water. "Can you drink some water for me, Sam?" He squeezes once. I give him some water. "Good, the ambulance can arrive at any moment now. Let all of just stay calm."

At that moment Mrs. Ushknowitz, the counselor comes in with the people from the ambulance. They take Sam with them. Mercedes drives along with the ambulance. I look at Shay. "You want to drive along to the hospital? I'm there protective grown-up until Sam his parents arrive and since they live 3 states away I probably could use some company. Want to come with?" She nods. I noticed now how pale she looks. "You okay?" I ask her when we started walking towards my car. She swallows and gets in the car when we arrive. I get in the car as well, still waiting on the answer. I start the car and start driving towards the hospital. "Shay? Are you okay?" She looks at me. "I'm not sure if I am. I'm honestly scared of hospitals. The last time I went there, my grandmother died. I think I'm just scared.. And I'm kind of nervous being with you in one car. I don't know why I'm saying all of this but I just wanted to say please don't leave my side when we are in the hospital. I don't think I can do this alone. Oh I'm rambling. I shut up now." I smile politely. "Shay, I promise you it is going to be fine. I won't leave your side, just stay calm when the kids are around and if it's too hard then leave the room. Okay?" She looks at me. "Yes. Okay. Why are you so good with this?" I smile. "Uh… I don't know, experience? I had a couple of situations like this so it isn't new for me. But I understand your fear and stuff." We arrive at the hospital and get out.

I'm sitting in the waiting room with Mercedes and Shay. Sam is still in surgery. I stand up. "I'm going to get some coffee. You coming with Shay?" She nods. "Mercedes, do you want something?" "Some coffee is okay. Maybe a cookie or something. I didn't eat my lunch." I nod. "We'll be right back." We walk towards the canteen. "How you holding up? Less scared?" Shay smiles. "Yeah, I feel better. Thank you. Let me pay this." She buys us coffee and some cookies for Mercedes. We walk back in silence. I watch every movement she makes. She is pretty beautiful. I slap myself mentally. Stop it. No not now, not today. I zip my coffee to stop my mind. We are back in the waiting room. "Any news Mercedes?" She looks up. "Sorry, what did you say?" I give her coffee and cookies. "Is there any news?" I sit next to her and look at her. She sighs. "No, nothing." "It's going to be fine Mercedes, it's a standard procedure. It's nothing big." I hope..

I finished my coffee, that moment the doctor comes in. "Miss Rivera?" I look up. "Yes, that's me." He walks to me and stands in front of me. "Sam is out of surgery, we had to take out his appendix, he is fine. We are keeping him for a couple nights though, standard procedure." I smile. "Thanks doctor. Can we see him?" The doctor takes us to the room. Mercedes sits next to him and takes his hand.

It is now around 7 pm. Sam is been awake for a while now. Shay and me just got some dinner for the people who don't have to eat hospital food when my phone rings. I smile when I see it's Dianna. I stand up. "Excuse me." I walk out. "Hi Di." "Naynay, where are you?" "Diana, I can hear the panic in your voice, calm down. I'm at the hospital, with Shay. Uh, Sam Evans, one of the glee kids, his appendix got removed and since his parents live 3 states away I'm his protective grown-up. Don't worry Di."

"Gosh, is he okay? You know what time you'll be home?" "He is fine, I think I'm going to leave around 9 pm, when it's the end of visiting hour. I have to drop Shay and Mercedes home, so I'll call you when I'm on my way home okay?" "Okay. Be safe girl. I love you." "Love you too Di. Bye." I hang up and sigh. Gosh she's such an amazing friend. I miss Heather though. I text Dianna, "Did Heather call btw? XX" I was walking back and got a text back right away. "No, sorry nay. XX" I sigh. Why did she have to leave? I go back in to the room.

Around 8.30 pm I see that Sam is struggling with not falling asleep. "Mercedes, shall we go home? Sam needs to sleep. You can visit him tomorrow after school again." She yawned. "Yeah, okay. That's cool." We say our goodbyes and go to my car. "So Mercedes, want me to drop you off at your car at school or at home? Same question for you Shay."

Mercedes yawns, "just drop me at home, I'll get to school tomorrow." I smile. "Okay. Shay?" "Uh, you can drop me at home." I drop Mercedes off at home. When she was inside, I start the car again and drive via my navigation system to Shay her house. "How are you getting to school tomorrow?" I ask. "I have honestly no idea. But I'll figure something out." "Maybe I can pick you up? I kind of asked you to come along so it's my fault your car is still at school." She smiles. "I would love that." I park in front of her house. "Nice house. See you in the morning then." She smiles. "Thanks for the ride, see you in the morning." She puts her hand on my thigh and squeezes it. I feel this arousel between my legs right away. I smile. I wait for her to leave the car and when she's inside I drive to home.
