Chapter 10: A Little Scare
(A/N: Hey 'yall, long time no see! I have had so much homework this week I haven't been able to get on! My science teacher likes to make us read ten pages a night! It's horrible, anyway, thanks for all the reviews, this is actually a revised version of a chapter I put on and deleted a few days back and if you didn't read that, then you don't need to know what happened because I hated myself after I did it.
Oh and Megatons- She's bottle feeding them because that's what my mom did with my little brother, and I have no knowledge of breast feeding! LOL!)
Now, to stop my rant, here's the next chapter.)
PREVIOUSLY:
The rest of the week flew by. I didn't have as much trouble without Jason being there as I thought I would. On Wednesday night however, I got a call I never wanted to get.
It was around 8:30 and I had just gotten the kids asleep and I was sitting in the living room watching TV with Jason and my phone rang and so did Jason's.
"I suppose it's for the same thing." He said, "You answer it."
I rolled my eyes and picked up the phone. It was Gabriella, who was in hysterics.
"Kelsi! Oh my god, I am so glad I could get in touch with you, are you sitting down?"
"Why?" I said, taking a deep breath
She took a very deep breath, "There's been an accident. Hannah, Ryan, and Sharpay were all on their way back from the mall and they got hit in the back end and Ryan lost control of the car and they tipped over sideways."
I gasped. "What? What is it?" Jason said
I flipped my hand over at him and hissed quietly, "Be quiet!"
"Look, Sharpay is fine, she's got a cut on her cheek that Zeke said she's now obsessed with because it detracts from her face and she got her arm scraped a little, Ryan's fine too, he couldn't catch his breath after the accident so he had to go on oxygen, and he broke his collar bone, which they didn't find out until they were about to release him to go into the lobby," I could hear the annoyance in her voice as she said that, "And Hannah," she paused, "She got out of the car, couldn't find Ryan panicked, Sharpay kept saying she said her arm hurt really bad and asked her where Ryan was about a hundred time and then said that there was something really hot on her leg, then she passed out."
I bit my lip. It wasn't unusual for Hannah to pass out, so I hoped there wasn't anything wrong this time. Once when we were in the eighth grade, Martha, Me, and her went to the fair, and we rode the tilt o' whirl five times straight and when we got off the last time, we met up with Ryan and Sharpay somehow and she ended up getting sick in a nearby trashcan and then fainting into Ryan's arms. It was really scary when it first happened, but then when it was all over and we realized she was okay, we appreciated the comedy of it.
"Hey, we'll be down there in a second okay." I said as I flipped the phone shut, "Jason get the twins, there was a car wreck, Hannah, Ryan, and Sharpay were involved and they're all down at the hospital."
Jason's face fell, "Are they okay?"
"Sharpay's been released, Ryan's got a broken collar bone and a cut on his jaw, but he was released about five minutes ago, but Hannah was in worse shape and got cut up pretty bad and then in true Hannah style, she passed out."
The fear in his face fell into a smile, "Hey, remember the fair?"
I rolled my eyes, "Yes Jason, I remember the fair, now go get the kids!"
His smiled faded as he got up and came back about four minutes later with both kids in his arms, putting them into the carriers. I put on my khaki jacket and got in the car.
We arrived about ten minutes later. We ran into the lobby. The Wildcats were sitting all around, Ryan's arm was in some sort of brace and he had a line of stitches along his jaw. Sharpay was sitting next to Zeke, staring into a mirror at a large taped cut on her cheek. Everyone else was talking and exchanging scared looks.
The nurse came out later and said Hannah was fine and we could go see her. We went back in the room. She had an icy blue cast that went from her hand up to her upper arm that was only about five inches from her shoulder, she also had a bright red cut above her eyebrow and oxygen tubes running up to her nose.
"Hey" I said
Chad crossed his arms over his chest and said, "How are you doing?"
She had a pouty look on her face that was worthy of Sharpay, "I hate these oxygen tubes, it annoys me, I have a huge cast on my arm and I can't move it, and I look like the Bride of Chucky, how do you think I am Danforth?"
He looked away and scratched the back of his neck awkwardly, "I get your point."
We sat in there talking when the doctor came in and a few minutes later removed the oxygen from her nose.
She sighed happily, "Thank God"
"When are you getting out?" Jason said
"Tonight, I hope."
"What was wrong with your leg?" Sharpay said
Hannah pulled back the white blanket from over her leg. She had a huge gash on it that had been stitched back up.
"Ouch" Troy said
"Ya think?" she said jokingly
"How did this happen to you, and yet Ryan and Sharpay, well Sharpay is unharmed." Taylor said
"Me and Ryan were on the side that hit the ground, Sharpay climbed out of the car, me and Ryan got the slam to the ground." She said
"Oh" She replied
We stayed in the hospital until Hannah was release at 10:30 and everyone went home. Her mom had left for a business trip early that week so she stayed with Ryan and Sharpay that night, in I hope a different room from Ryan.
She actually went back to school the next day with Ryan and Sharpay, Jason told me and he also mentioned that the whole school knew about it by then as well.
And while all that mess was happening at school, Kayleigh was developing a cold and I was afraid Justin was going to get it, so I got Jason to wheel the crib into our room, which he of course took time to complain about.
Hannah called all the time to check on her and complain about her condition and complain about Ryan complaining about not being able to get his locker open with his left hand.
By the end of the week, I ended up having to take Kayleigh to the doctor and have Jason's mom watch Justin. She had a common cold so I had the displeasure of having to use one of those tiny dispenser things to give the poor girl the anti-biotic, and the fact that she was only a month and a half old didn't make it much easier either.
Jason seemed to be around less and less. Finally, on Friday night he came home, changed into his basketball short and one of those dumb tank tops that I always call them the wrong name and it gets on his nerves, and sat down with Kayleigh in his arms.
I walked in the room from changing Justin, who was currently in his room taking a nap. I gasped jokingly, "You're actually staying home tonight, what a shock, and now are you going to tell me that you and Hannah are having some sort of affair?"
He rolled his eyes and stood up, "No, but if you're giving me permission to pursue your best friend and you too at the same time, do tell, because Hannah's always been well, hot."
I punched him in the arm, I knew it didn't hurt, because, well, look at me, I'm 5'5 and a senior.
"Ow…" he said, faking his pain
I rolled my eyes, "You are such a loser!"
"But you love me." He said, putting on his signature boyish grin
"I guess I do, remind me again why I do though."
Jason sat Kayleigh down in one of those little baby seat things and walked over to me, taking my hands and then kissing me deeply.
When the kiss released I looked at him and smiled, "Oh yeah, that's why."
