Chapter 9: Visiting Hours
The shining sun was enough to wake up Kate as it gleamed through the window into her room. Dressed in her favorite pair of pajamas as usual, she sat up from her bed and stretched her arms out, still feeling a bit worn out. Looking around, she remembered that she was back at Blackwell in her dorm room. Her father had driven her back to school late on Sunday night. Now it was a late Monday morning, which also happened to be Columbus Day, meaning that there were no classes today. Kate took advantage of her day off to sleep in, something she didn't normally do on days where there was no school since she was always the early bird type. Seeing that it was 11:00 AM on her alarm clock though, she got up out of her bed to go to the bathroom to shower and brush her teeth.
After taking a shower, she brushed her teeth at the bathroom sink and she began to think about her parents' idea to have her transfer to another school. It did make her feel anxious and it was even a very quiet car ride back to Blackwell with her father as it was all she thought about. But she couldn't allow herself to think about that, not now. What she needed to do was surround herself with the things she loved to do and most importantly, be around the people who she considered her friends. As she walked back to her room after her shower, she had bumped into someone in the hallway as she looked down at the floor. The person Kate collided with was someone she wasn't expecting to see yet.
"I'm sorry." Kate said sincerely as she wasn't aware of her surroundings. She looked directly at the person to see that it was Victoria, who was holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand.
"Oh my God! Will you watch where you're..." Victoria stopped in the middle of her sentence, only to see who it was that she was addressing. "Kate?"
"Oh, Victoria. I'm so sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going and..."
"Oh, come here you." Victoria said as she wrapped both of her long arms around Kate's neck and held on to her tightly. "You have no idea how good it is to see you back here."
"It is good to back." Kate admitted shyly. "How was your weekend in San Francisco?"
"It was really good. Mr. Jefferson is way cooler when you hang out with him outside of class. We definitely got to know each other a lot better." Victoria mentioned. "But after everything I've done to you since last week... since the start of the school year, I wish it was you that got to go instead." She admitted.
"Well, thank you. I really appreciate that you dedicated your prize to me."
"Of course, Kate. You deserved the recognition more than anyone else." Victoria asserted. "I still want to make things up to you though. So I was thinking maybe tomorrow after class, we could grab coffee together and get mani-pedis. It'll all be my treat too." Victoria insisted.
"Victoria, that's so generous of you. I'll need to check my schedule for tomorrow before I can give you a straight answer." Kate said.
"No problem. We can always reschedule if you're busy anyway." She said.
"Who are those flowers for?" Kate questioned as she pointed at the yellow flowers Victoria was holding.
"Oh, these are for Ben." Victoria answered with a smile.
"Oh, I see." Kate said, sounding somewhat sad.
"I was just getting ready to drive over to the hospital to see him."
"The hospital? What happened to him? Is he okay?" Kate asked worriedly.
"You mean you didn't hear? He tore his ACL during the football game on Friday night. I heard he's feeling better but he's going to be on crutches for at least a week or two."
"I hope he's alright." Kate said.
"Believe me, Kate, we all do." Victoria replied.
"Hi, Kate." The two girls heard another voice say from behind them. They both looked to see that it was Max, standing in the hallway outside of her room with her arms folded.
"Oh hi, Max. How are you?" Kate said as she smiled at her.
"Is everything alright out here?" Max asked, hinting at the fact that Victoria was in Kate's presence.
"Uh yes, everything is alright, 'Max Selfie'. It's just two people having a friendly conversation together. No need to act like Kate's personal bodyguard or flip out on me like you did last week Thursday." Victoria commented, annoyed that Max was intervening on her talk with Kate. "I should get going though. Good to see you again, Kate. I actually enjoyed our talk." As Victoria walked down the hall to leave the dorm, Max walked over to reconnect with Kate.
"What was Victoria talking to you about?" Max asked with concern.
"Nothing really. She wanted to take me out for a treat after how horrible she was to me. She's planning for us to go out for coffee and get our nails done tomorrow. I know she's trying to start being nice to me, but I just can't really see myself hanging out with her."
"Neither can I. Next thing you know, she'll try to induct you into her posse with Taylor and Courtney." Max joked.
"It's alright Max. As long as you're still at Blackwell, I'll be spending my days with you. Plus, I think we may need to have two tea dates this week to make up for the one we missed last week." Kate said joyfully.
"You bet." Max replied.
"What did Victoria mean when she said you flipped out on her last week Thursday?" Kate asked.
"I was still pissed at her about what she did to you last week with that whole video and everything. So I confronted her about it at the rally on Thursday night. It was totally wrong of her to do that to you, even when she knows that you have a church group back at home." Max explained.
"Max, I think we all just need to put that behind ourselves now. What Victoria did was wrong, but she seems like she really wants to make up for it. When I came back here late last night, I'm pretty sure that I heard her crying from her room next door." Kate mentioned.
"Really? I guess Ben really did bring her back to reality when he yelled at her last week. I didn't think Victoria was capable of sheding tears." Max commented. "Anyway, ready to get our tea on?"
"Um, Max?" Kate spoke timidly.
"What's wrong, Kate?" Max asked.
"Victoria mentioned that Ben's in the hospital. She said that he got hurt in the middle of his game on Friday."
"Yeah, I heard all about it. I missed the game because I went to see a movie with Warren, but everybody was talking about it the next day and Ben sounds pretty down about it. What's even worse is that Dana went to visit him over the weekend and she said that he's blaming himself for why the team lost."
"Oh no! That doesn't sound good at all." Kate said with concern. "Do you think we could stop by the hospital to visit him before we stop for tea? I think he would really appreciate the company."
"Of course, Kate. Warren has his own car now so he can drive us there."
"Thanks, Max. Just let me get dressed and I'll be ready to go." Kate stated.
Ben began to wake up in his hospital room, still dressed in the same white hospital gown and feeling a slight pain in his knee. He took a deep breath and looked out of the window to see that it was another sunny day in Arcadia Bay as usual. As he turned his head to the right to see the other side of his room, he saw that Chloe was sitting in a chair that was against the wall. She was staring at the floor and had both of her hands together as she twiddled her thumbs. Upon hearing Ben move around, she lifted up her head to see that he was now awake.
"What up, Dude?" Chloe asked him in soft voice.
"Hey. Good to see you." Ben responded, still sounding exhausted.
"Likewise. How you holding up?" She asked.
"I still feel like shit." Ben answered. "I hope someone was able to get the license plate number of whatever the hell hit me Friday night." He joked.
"I gotta admit, you sure did put up a fight in that game. The rest of the team got hella sloppy without you in the second half." She said.
"You still went to the game? After what happened between us at the Two Whales?" Ben asked in bewilderment.
"Of course I did, dude. You became my best friend after Max left me and I thought I would never see her again. And you and I have both been there for each other no matter what." Chloe confessed. "And about what happened the other day at the Two Whales, I just want to say that I'm sorry. For all that shit that I said about you. And Kate. I was being a real asshole and you obviously didn't deserve that. I just really miss Rachel is all." She admitted sadly.
"It's alright, Chloe. I know how much she must have meant to you." Ben expressed. "You know, while I've been sitting in here for the past few days, I had second thoughts about things and I made a decision. I'm gonna help you and Max find out what happened to Rachel."
"You will?" She asked, with a sound of hope in her voice.
"Yeah, I will. Like you said, we've been there for each other and this isn't something you should try to solve alone. If it was me that was missing, you'd probably go through hell and back to find me. I know, I'm kind of at a disadvantage to move freely over here, but I'll do whatever I can to help. Think of it in the way how Batman and Robin have Oracle to help them behind the scenes."
"Right on! Thanks, brother." Chloe said with excitement.
Ben looked down and stared at his casted leg before he continued to speak to Chloe. "I... had another nightmare about him again."
"You did? Shit, are you alright? Do you think it had to do with all the shit that happened last week?" Chloe asked.
"It could have been. But I'm over it now." He answered.
"You sure you don't wanna talk about it with me at least..."
"I'm fine, Chloe. I appreciate that you're looking out for me though." Ben stated. "Could you hand me that cup of water?" He then asked her politely. Chloe then got up to grab the cup that was sitting on a table next to Ben's bed as he couldn't get out of the bed to reach it. She then handed it to him and Ben smiled as he put the brim of the cup to his lips and lifted it up, taking a gulp of the water inside of it.
"Thanks!" Ben said. "Wanna sign my cast?" He asked her as he pointed to a black sharpie that sat on the same table as his cup.
"I'd be insulted if you didn't let me." Chloe replied.
"Well, now's your chance. You better not draw any dicks on that cast though. I do have to wear it in school for a week and a half." Ben teased.
"Ouch, we've known each other for three summers and you still don't fully trust me?" Chloe mocked. She walked over to the end of the hospital bed and leaned over towards Ben's right leg to write her name on the cast. As she looked for a blank space, she saw the name of other students at Blackwell who came to visit him over the weekend and left their signatures. Zach, Juliet, Hayden, Dana, Trevor, Taylor, Courtney, Evan.
"The nurses told me that they didn't know who would be taking you back to Blackwell after they let you out of here today. So I figured, I'd give you a lift once your doctor gives you the 'All Clear' to head home." She mentioned.
"Thanks, Chloe!"
"No problem." She replied. Just as she finished writing her name on the cast, the door of Ben's room had opened, revealing that it was a nurse.
"Ben, someone's here to see you." The nurse said with a smile. As she turned around to leave the room, she revealed that Ben's unexpected visitor was Victoria.
"Benji! Oh my God, are you okay?" Victoria shouted out in surprise to see Ben in his current state. She ran over to him, holding the flowers she had for him in her hand. "I heard about what happened to you while I was in San Francisco over the weekend and I was so worried for you." She expressed dramatically. "Oh hey, Chloe!"
"Sup, Vic?" Chloe acknowledged. She rolled her eyes at Victoria's climactic entrance and couldn't believe how she was groveling before Ben.
"What are you doing here anyway, shouldn't you be in class right now?" Ben asked in confusion.
"It's Columbus Day, silly! No one has classes today." Victoria explained to him. "I got these for you." She lifted up the flowers to show Ben. "They're tulips, which represent hope and cheerful thoughts. I figured you could use them after your traumatic injury and your team's loss on Friday." She carelessly placed the flowers in Ben's cup of water which he had been drinking out of.
"Uh, thanks Victoria. You shouldn't have." Ben said with a slight hint of sarcasm. "How was San Francisco by the way? Was it everything that you expected?"
"It was more than what I expected, Ben. I'm actually kind of jealous that you live in the same city that houses the Zeitgeist Gallery." Victoria exclaimed. "You know, the next time I happen to be in the Golden City again, I'll have to look you up." She added flirtatiously. Can I sign your cast?"
"Knock yourself out." Ben replied.
"Thank you." Victoria said to Chloe as she snatched the sharpie from her hand. She then walked over to Ben's cast to leave her signature. "By the way Ben, the big Halloween Shindig is coming up soon and I heard you still don't have a date for it."
"Is a date really required for something like that?" He asked, sounding somewhat disinterested
"People need a plus one for every kind of event these days, Ben. So, I was thinking that with your cast, you'd make a perfect pirate. And you could probably use a sexy parrot at your side, hint, hint. Anyway, I'd love to stay and chat more with you, but Taylor and Courtney are waiting for me. We're taking advantage of our day off to do some shopping. TTYL, Ben." She added as she made her way to leave the room.
"Wow, it's just like an Indiana Jones movie. The hero always gets the girl. Even if she does happen to be a huge skank." Chloe commented right after Victoria left.
"I take it you two have some history?" Ben asked.
"That's putting it lightly. I'm still not surprised she won that whole 'Everyday Heroes' contest. Knowing her, she probably bribed or blackmailed her way into winning in the first place." Chloe added. "So are you really going to that party with her?"
"Considering that I can only really hobble around instead of dance, I'd say that's a no." Ben answered.
"Good to see you still have your common sense intact." Chloe replied. "You know, after they release you from this place, I say the two of us should hang and have a toke sesh together, like the good old times. I happened to pay back Frank after how much I owed him and used the extra cash I had to buy some medicinal shit off of him. It's gotta be a much better remedy than the shit they're gonna prescribe you."
"Extra cash? Chloe, how did you end up getting the money you needed to pay back Frank in just a week?"
"I have my ways, Ben." Chloe stated nonchalantly, holding back on the truth.
"You are a woman of many mysteries sometimes, Chloe Price." Ben said as he leaned back into his bed. Suddenly, the door to Ben's room opened again, this time revealing three more familiar faces from Blackwell: Max, Warren, and Kate.
"Hey, Ben." Max greeted happily.
"Ben, what's up?" Warren said with excitement.
"Hi, Ben." Kate said with a sheepish smile.
"Does anybody knock these days anymore? You guys are lucky you didn't catch me in the middle of my sponge bath." Ben joked.
"Good to see that you didn't break your funny bone." Warren commented. "I call dibs on signing Ben's cast first." He shouted as he grabbed the sharpie on the table and walked over to Ben's cast.
"How's your leg feeling?" Kate asked as she looked at Ben's cast sadly.
"Better than it felt Friday night, that's for sure. But that's probably because the doctor has me taking some pain killers." Ben answered. "Good news is, they should be letting me out of here later today. Chloe said that she'll drive me home."
"That's right!" Chloe confirmed. "Need more water, Ben?"
"Sure, my throat's bound to get dry again anyway."
"Comin right up! Max, Warren, why don't you guys take a walk with me. Kate, you can keep Ben company while we're gone." Chloe instructed as she was trying to push Max and Warren out of the room.
"Okay." Kate replied as she watched the three of them leave the room and Chloe closed the door behind them. Kate then turned around to face Ben, who gave her a kind smile.
"Hey." He said.
"Hey." Kate replied.
"You can take a seat, you know." Ben insisted as he observed how she was hovering over his bed.
"Oh, sorry." She said as she began to blush. She then walked over to one of the chairs that sat against a wall in the room, brought it over to Ben's bed, and took a seat.
"Sorry I couldn't keep my promise." Ben stated.
"About what?" Kate asked.
"About how we would win the game for you. It's my fault I got hurt that cost us winning." He admitted.
"Ben, you can't blame yourself for what happened. Your injury was something that you couldn't foresee, so you shouldn't beat yourself up about it. All you can do right now, is heal and come back stronger ready to play again." Kate said, consoling Ben.
"I guess you're right. Thanks for the wise words." Ben replied. "So how was your weekend?"
"It was alright. My sisters and I watched a couple movies together and my whole family and I went to church on Sunday." Kate shared.
"Sounds like you had a great time. I'm sure your parents and sisters were happy to see you."
"Most of them were." Kate said under her breath as she fiddled around with the cross on her necklace.
"What do you mean by that?"
"It's nothing really. I shouldn't have said that."
"Kate, you can talk to me. I won't twist your arm to tell me what's wrong, but I want you to know that I'm here to listen."
"Thank you, Ben." Kate said as she smiled at his caring words. She then felt comfortable to tell him what was on her mind.
"This weekend, my parents had a talk with me about everything that happened. With the video and me being on the roof. My parents feel like sending me to Blackwell was a bad idea in the first place." Kate admitted. "What's even worse is that my whole church made me stand in front of them and they all put their hands on me to pray my sins away. It was so embarrassing."
"Ouch. Well, I don't know about you, but I'd have to disagree with your parents on that. You've met people at Blackwell that care about you. Like Max, like Warren... like me. Even people like Victoria are trying their hardest to treat you better." Ben stated.
"I know. I saw Victoria today and she offered to treat me out for coffee and a free trip to the nail salon with her." Kate mentioned.
"She really agreed to do that for you? Wow, I guess Bob Dylan was right about how the times are changing." He joked.
"What's that mean?" Kate asked, sounding perplexed.
"It's an old song that my mom used to listen to. I have a copy of it on vinyl for my record player if you ever want to hear it." Ben mentioned. "Sorry if I'm getting off topic. What else did your parents say to you?"
"They're both considering to have me switch schools at the end of this term and send me to an all-girls Christian Art School." Kate said worriedly. "I feel so scared just thinking about it, Ben." She cried out.
"Shit. I'm sorry, Kate. I hope there's something that can change their minds."
"I'm glad to hear that you're worried for me, Ben. Right now, I'm just praying that God can change their minds."
"At least you're doing your best to stay optimistic." Ben said. "I know your parents didn't get to meet me like they wanted to, but what are they like anyway?"
"Well, my dad is a social worker who works with children and their families. He's also the Preacher at our church who teaches the service on Sundays. And my mom works as an accountant for one of the best insurance companies in Hillsboro. She says that it can be hard work and she has to deal with nasty clients, but it pays well."
"It sounds like they've got quite the day jobs if you ask me."
"I suppose they do. But now it's my turn to ask you." Kate said with a smile. "What were your parents like? And by that, I mean before they divorced."
"Believe it or not, my parents met each other at Blackwell. But they weren't students at the time like you or me. They were both teachers who worked there."
"Oh, really? That's so cute. So how exactly did they meet each other?"
"Well, my mom was the music teacher at Blackwell and my dad was the P.E. teacher and assistant football coach when he first started working there. They both met each other during a faculty meeting and decided to talk to each other afterwards. Later on, they started dating outside of school and a couple years later they eventually got married to each other."
"That's amazing. They must have been even more happy together once you came into their lives."
"They were. I can still remember the days of us going to the park together or eating breakfast at the Two Whales. They got the divorce when I was only five. After that, the two of them acted like completely different people towards each other."
"That's awful. What exactly happened between them?"
"Their differences basically got in the way. When my Dad got promoted to head Coach of the Bigfoots, he became more focused on making the team better and training his athletes relentlessly to become state champions. He was always disconnected from the life he once enjoyed as a father and a husband. Meanwhile, my mom was ready to leave Arcadia Bay since she spent her entire life here. She wanted the three of us to be able to experience something different together. But my dear old dad just couldn't leave his Bigfoots behind. He played for that team when he was a student at Blackwell himself, so his loyalty to them was in his blood. So, my parents decided that things weren't going to work out anymore between them and they came to the conclusion that a divorce would be best for them and for my future. The end!" Ben explained as he didn't feel proud to tell Kate that story.
"I'm so sorry, Ben. It sounded like they really loved each other so much before they separated."
"You don't have to be sorry for me, Kate. It's like I told Max last week, it's their fault they decided to leave each other. When couples face a conflict, their supposed to talk things out and come to a solution. And a divorce isn't one of them. It's like people forget the meaning of the saying 'til death do us part.'" Ben said sounding frustrated.
"Did either of them get to visit you here over the weekend?" Kate asked.
"No." Ben answered. "My mom had already left for a musical arts conference in Colorado on Friday, and she didn't have enough time to buy a ticket to fly to Arcadia Bay and see me. And my Dad is probably too busy trying to find a replacement for me until I fully recover and get back on the field."
"Oh." Kate simply replied. She felt bad that his own parents didn't even visit him while he was in the hospital. This only made her want to stay with him longer, but she didn't really know what to say to continue their conversation. While Kate did have a small number of friends at Blackwell, she did know how to have a friendly chat with them. But she felt that it was going to be difficult to maintain a discussion with a boy, especially one who she she felt "different" about, compared to all of the others at her school. Already feeling the sense of awkward silence, Kate began to sit up straight in the chair again and placed both of her hands on her lap. As Ben took note of this, he couldn't help but look at both of her hands and acknowledged several rings which she wore on the fingers of her right hand.
"That's quite the bling that you're rocking." Ben remarked about her rings.
"Oh these?" Kate questioned as she looked at her rings and blushed. "I wear them all the time, even though I don't really wear a lot of jewelry like most girls."
"So what's each one for?" He asked with interest.
"Not much really. I got these two from when my family and I went to Disneyland. This one here is a sister ring and it has me and my sisters' names engraved on it." Kate explained as she pointed to each ring on her finger. "And this one here is... my purity ring." She added nervously, pointing to a ring that was worn on her ring finger, which had a blue gem encrusted on it.
"What's that?" Ben asked in interest.
"It's a special ring that I wear since I took an oath at my church to stay abstinent until marriage." Kate explained. "But most people at Blackwell just laugh at me when I tell them that."
"Not me." Ben replied.
"Wait, what?" She asked in shock.
"Kate, I think it's awesome that you strongly believe in something like that and keep it so close to you. And people should learn to respect your own beliefs, regardless if they're different from their own." Ben confessed.
"Ben, I never knew that you felt that way." Kate said in awe.
"Of course I do. To be honest, I think it's cool to see that you're waiting to lose your virginity until you meet that special someone in your life. That's something that I'll never be able to do because I was an idiot and decided to get laid when I first had the chance."
"We all make our mistakes, Ben."
"Only I keep making them." Ben replied. "Word gets around fast at Blackwell and you always end up finding out who hooked up with who. And considering the people that live on your floor, I'm sure you've probably heard some of them brag about how they ended up getting lucky with 'Mr. Bigfoot' himself. Victoria, Taylor, Courtney, pretty much any girl I've ended up meeting at a Vortex Club party."
"Why do you continue to go through with it if you sound so regretful about it?"
Ben sighed before answering Kate's question, "Maybe it's just cause I'm gullible. I always think that I'm going to end up meeting 'the one' whenever I'm with the girl who happens to be in the same bed with me. Turns out that they really just see me more as a sex object than a person and can't wait to tell all of their girlfriends about how the captain of the Football team went to town on them. I guess I'm just a hopeless romantic is all." He said as he looked up at the ceiling of his room.
"Ben don't talk about yourself like that, please." Kate urged him. "I'm sure that the reason why there are so many girls who would want to... uh, have... intercourse with you is because of your traits. You're kind, caring, athletic, smart, funny, and handsome. That's what makes them so attracted to you in the first place. Sometimes people are just worried about committing to a relationship and think that they aren't ready to settle down. I hope that one day, you do find that girl who happens to be 'the one'.
"Thanks, Kate. I hope you do too. As in find the right guy I mean." Ben said as he had a bashful look on his face.
"It's okay, I knew what you meant." Kate said as she laughed at how Ben was trying to correct himself. As the two had still conversed with each other, the door to Ben's room opened again as Chloe, Max, and Warren returned, with Chloe holding a cup of water in her hand for Ben.
"Hmm, your water, Master Benjamin." Chloe said in her best impersonation of a posh butler.
"Hmm, why thank you, Miss Price." Ben replied in his best try at a high class gentleman's voice as he stuck his nose in the air.
"Hey, Kate. Sorry to rush you, but are you ready to go for our tea date soon?" Max asked shyly, hoping that she didn't interrupt both Kate and Ben.
"You're not rushing at all, Max. Ben and I were just finishing up our great conversation we were having while you three were gone."
"Oh, okay. Well, Warren and I will just be waiting outside of the room when you're ready."
"Take your time, Kate." Warren insisted as the two friends could tell she looked happy being in the room talking with Ben.
"Don't worry, I'll be quick." Kate replied to reassure Max and Warren. "I don't want to keep them waiting, so I guess I'll see you tomorrow when you come back to Blackwell?"
"You got it!" Ben responded.
"Oh, great! Take care Ben. I can't wait for you to come back. I hope you feel better soon." Kate replied happily. Before she left, she leaned towards Ben and gave him a light kiss on his cheek and then walked towards the door to leave his room.
Right after she left the hospital room to rejoin Max and Warren, Ben placed his left hand on his face to feel the exact area that Kate had pressed her soft lips against. He then looked at Chloe to make sure he wasn't the only one who witnessed what had just happened. She was sitting in the same spot she was found in when Ben woke up, but this time, she only had a shocked look on her face. Her eyes widened and her mouth wide open in reaction to what she just saw Kate do before she left.
Ben simply smiled and laid back in his hospital bed. He stretched out both of his arms and placed them behind his head before saying to Chloe, "Just like an Indiana Jones movie, huh?"
"Don't let it get to your head, 'Ferris Bueller'." Chloe said as she rolled her eyes at Ben's gesture. The two friends could only just laugh with each other afterwards.
That's all folks (For now)! I know this chapter was a bit shorter than the last, but I felt that the setting and the mood was a nice transition following Ben's injury and Kate's newest dilemma. I wasn't too sure how the brief dialogue between Chloe and Victoria would go, mostly because we never really saw them interact with each other in LiS. Hopefully we'll all get a better idea of what their relationship was like in Before the Storm. Be sure to favorite, follow, and leave a review if you're new to this fic. I can't wait to share the tenth chapter of this wild ride of a story with all of you once I finish that one.
