Fresh P.O.V
We've been driving for what feels like hours, but when I look up at the dashboard of the old car it had only been about 30 minutes, it usually doesn't take this long to get to the hospital because Mom had bought the house close to it when she realised that Geno was sick and would need to be there a lot. Like a lot. Like probably 80% of his life has been spent in the hospital, it's really sad. Even when I couldn't feel I knew that it was not a good thing for anyone, especially a kid. People always talked about it with Mama it was all Error used to worry about.
Speaking of Error, I look over in his direction but he's staring out the window even though we've seen everything there is to see on our way to the hospital 342 times...I counted since there was really nothing else to do, I keep a little journal at home that I used to fill with facts and symptom that Geno had in and out of the hospital and any other thing that used to stand out to me. I made it so I could use it in my future career as a doctor.
It's strange that people don't understand why I would want to be a doctor when I get older. What do they really expect me to be? Before I've heard people talk about me becoming a serial killer or something like that, even when I couldn't feel, I never wanted to hurt people, I didn't see the point in it. It made no sense why I would ever need to hurt people. If I ever did anything back then, it was because I needed too or because it was seen a logical decision in my mind. Also, I really appreciate Mom teaching me about right and wrong from the beginning, how knows what kind of trouble I could have gotten into?
I suddenly feel a hand on my shoulder, making me jump. I turn and Error is looking at me with a concerned look. "Hey, we're here? I called you like three times, you ok?" I feel magic rushing to my face, it feels hot. I was so deep in my own thoughts I didn't even notice the car had stopped or Error calling me. That's...embarrassing? I think that what this emotion is called? I'll think about it later.
"Sorry Brah, I was thinking." I unclip the seatbelt, open the door and slide out leaving it open so Error could get out as well.
"About what?" Error askes as he carefully steps out and I close the door.
"Nothing bad, if that's what you're worried about. It's just..." Jeez, words used to be easy. But, then again I'm different now. I think before I say things, well, think about people feeling's.
Error nods understandingly and reaches out to hold my hand, as we hurriedly follow Mom inside the Hospital. As we get inside, a nurse is waiting for us, we see her all the time. Her name is Carol, Carol Hathaway I think, she's nice to us. Mom and her talk in hushed whispers as we speed walked to Geno's room. As we get to the room; the nurse put's her finger to her lips and quietly opens the door to let us in. The room is of machines and a few nurse's running around the room, checking on the machinery, writing on papers, normal stuff really.
In the middle of the room is Geno, laying in a bed, somehow looking worse than what he usually does and he mostly always looks awful, covered in all kinds of tubes and wires. Mom does that smile that I've never liked, its a smile that screams 'I know your deeply hurting and I don't want to make it obvious that seeing you like this makes me want to cry because if you see me cry you'll feel awful and you don't need that right now'. I see it every time we're here and each time, it makes me cringe.
Geno looks up at us and smiles weakly and tries to raise his arm but Mom quickly rushes over and Mom gently pushes the arm down. "Hi, baby." Mom gently strokes the top of his skull and Error hops on a chair on the other side of the bed and gently holds his hand. "Hi, , Error. Hi, Fresh. I'm sorry, I know you had to be at that place today..." I walk up and I hop up onto the bed and slide closer "Oh no Bro don't feel bad, I think we got what needed. You're more important anyway, even if we weren't done; we would have come." Geno's eye sockets widen and the little lights tremble a little. He still sometimes get shocked when I say things like that. I don't really blame him, I still shock me sometimes.
"Heh, you look like you saw a ghost." I laugh out, Geno goes a little blue and looks down.
"Hey, don't be...Embarrassed? That is what you're feeling right? Well, whatever it is, don't feel about that. I understand you're not used to it yet, heck I'm not used to it yet. I spent like 8 years with no feelings and you were all used to that but now. All of a sudden I'm feeling and I'm not the only one who has to deal with that; you guys are too and we all need to adapt." I lean over and put my arms out for a hug. I gently put my arms around Geno's shoulders, careful not to touch the wires or tubes.
I feel Geon weakly put his arms across my waist. I smile and look up to Mama and Error and hold my arms out again. Mama catches on quickly and leans in to put her head on Geon's, gently of crouse and put her hands on our shoulders. Error hesitates, I don't blame him, even though he trusts us all, he still is super uncomfortable with being touched.
"It's ok Bro, we understand-"
"No, I can do this. I have too...I can do it" Error interrupts and he edges closer to the group hug's and slowly reaches his arms up and-
"Ehem, Sorry to interrupt this moment but we need to talk." We all jump back. It was one of the doctors that were in the room running around when we came in, his tag says his name is McCoy.
"Sorry, do you know what been happening? He's never been this bad before and he was fine a few days ago." Mama gets up and walks closer. "We believe it is due to stress and his magic system is getting weaker, it's getting harder for us to keep his magic levels stable. We are aware of your families...situation and we give our sincerest condolences." He glanced at me when he said that, I did come here after well...
"Unfortunately if we can not keep his magic at a stable level, we may have to put him in an induced coma..."
Geno looks like he's gonna be sick. Mama has put her hands to her mouth and Error looks like he's gonna crash any second now and me...
Well, I don't know how I feel... so many things are happening at once...
I have to give evidence to a put a man who tried to Kidnap and possibly KILL me behind bars and whos to say we'll win because people might just say that because I felt nothing at the time, I'm a little psychopath who wouldn't even care but I CARE!
I just...Why does everything go wrong in this family?
I wish I was in a coma so I would have to deal with all this...
