What's up, my wonderful readers?
This update isn't that long, and doesn't really have all that much of a purpose, but I had to get a few things out of my brain before I proceed with the next few chapters…. And I'm sick, so please forgive me if this is kinda crappyy…..
Anywayy, enjoyy!
Tyler, Reid, and Brooke showed up a the hospital, quickly going up to the ICU to check meet up with Caleb and Sarah and check up on Pogue and Kate.
"How's he doing?" Brooke asked, as the three of them reached Caleb and Sarah, who were standing outside Pogue's room.
"His motorcycle crashed into a oncoming truck. He broke a lot of bones." Caleb said, looking from the window of Pogue's room back to the three of them. "Where's Kelsey?" He asked, and Brooke looked at him confusedly.
"She's not here yet? She said she was gonna meet us here." She said, and Reid just sighed. "Unbelievable." He said, putting his hands over his head.
"I'm calling her." Tyler said, as they all started getting nervous. "No answer." He said after a few minutes and put his phone back in his pocket. Brooke took her phone out and redialed Kelsey's number, only to have it ring a few times and go to her voicemail. "Is it abad thing that she's not answering?" She asked and Caleb nodded.
"Possibly. Why did you two leave her alone?" Caleb asked looking back and forth between the two but focusing on Reid. "No one ever said not to." Tyler said, and Caleb sighed. "You didn't think that with everything going on to stay with her?" He asked, closing his eyes and sighing in frustration.
"Well technically, she wasn't alone." Reid said, and Caleb's eyes snapped open at him. "You mom was there." Caleb took a deep breath and lunged at Reid, pushing him hard up against the wall.
"This isn't a joke, Reid." He said, pressing his forearm into Reid's throat so that he couldn't breath. "Kelsey could be anywhere. Hell, she could be dead for all we know and you don't even care. That's exactly why I don't want you with her. Your not good enough for her." He said, his voice seething with anger.
"Caleb, its not the time of place for this." Sarah said, looking around to see if they had garnered any unwanted attention.
Then, out of nowhere, Reid pushed Caleb off of him and quickly caught his breath. Tyler jumped in between them, sensing that Reid wanted to do something that he'd probably regret if he didn't stop him.
"Believe it or not, but I do care about her!" He said, struggling to get past Tyler. "I don't believe it!" Caleb replied as Sarah had his arm, trying to calm him down. "It doesn't matter if you believe me or not. I'm not dating you!" Reid said and Caleb scoffed. "You wont be dating my sister that much longer either." Caleb seethed and Reid just shook his head and laughed.
"Like I said, it doesn't matter what you say. All that matters is that Kelsey knows how I feel. If you wanted things to be different, someone should have told Pogue to get his balls from out your pocket and ask her out himself!" Reid said and out of nowhere, Brooke slapped him.
"What the fuck, Brooke?" He asked, rubbing his cheek as Tyler and Caleb started laughing. Then, Brooke turned around and slapped Caleb, shocking Sarah and making Reid and Tyler laugh at him.
"Why are you so slap happy?" Tyler asked and Brooke let out a deep sigh. "I felt as if Kelsey would have done the same thing is she were here and I feel that I have the right to execute that. Finding Kelsey is one of the things that need to be focused on right now." She said and the three boys nodded in agreement. "You can finish you manly display of machoness after we figure things out and get my best friend back. Until then, your gonna have to put up with each other and get along. Unless of course, neither of you want Kels back." She said and Caleb and Reid nodded.
"What did you mean by Pogue should have asked her out himself?" Caleb asked and Reid shook his head. "That's a conversation we need to have when this is over and Kels and Pogue are here speak their part." He said and Caleb nodded.
"So we have a truce?" Brooke said, and the two boys nodded. "Good, so what do we do now?" Brooke asked and Sarah shrugged her shoulders confused. "I have no clue. I barely know what you guys are talking about." She said, looking up a Caleb, who looked over at Reid and Tyler. "Tell her, man. We'll stay with Pogue." Reid said and Tyler nodded. "She's just as involved as any of us." Tyler said and Caleb nodded his head. "We'll be back in a little while." he said, taking Sarah's hand and walking down the hallway.
"Come with me to the nurse's station to find Kate's room?" Brooke asked Tyler and he nodded. Reid took that as his cue to go inside Pogue's room.
Black.
That's all that Pogue saw when he finally started regaining consciousness. He heard beeping sounds and could barely move his body. 'What happened to me?' He thought to himself as he slowly opened his eyes, taking in his surroundings.
"Welcome back to the world of consciousness." He heard someone say from his bedside. Without turning, he knew who was talking to him. "You know what happened to me, Reid?" He asked and Reid shook his head.
"I only know what Caleb told me." He said and Pogue sighed. "Chase conjured the truck that hit me." Pogue said and Reid shook his head.
"He might have Kelsey too." Reid said, putting his head in his hands. "I don't know how were gonna handle this now." He said and Pogue lightly shifted in the hospital bed. "I don't either. But I do know one thing." He said, making Reid lift his head up in surprise. "What?" Reid asked.
"You're not getting Kelsey that easily." He said and Reid laughed. "You really wanna have this conversation now? While your hurt in the hospital, Kelsey's missing and there's a psycho running around?" He asked and Pogue nodded. "Almost dying does that to a guy. Don't count me out yet." Reid chuckled to himself and nodded his head to what Pogue just ultimately said. "I wouldn't count on it. But don't think I wont put up a hell of a fight. Because how I see it, you had many many years to make a move for Kels. And you did nothing." He said, making Pogue smile. "True, bit expect that to change. And as for the fight, I wouldn't expect anything less from you, Reid." Pogue said and both boys nodded. "May the best man win?" Pogue asked, and Reid shook his head.
"We need to get Kelsey back before we make any kinda deals and bets for her." Reid said, getting up from the chair at Pogue's bedside. "I'm gonna go and get Tyler and Brooke." He said, walking towards the door.
I wanted some sort of conflict between the guys in the last chapter, but it didn't really work out that way…
Again, I apologize if you find this chapter boring and uneventful compared to what I just did, I just needed to get this stuff out my head so that I can move forward with what I wanna do next.
Something I gotta ask, should I so a sequel for this storyy or wrap it up in a nice little package when I get to a point that satisfies me?
I actually can start outlining what I would do for the sequel, cuz this has been on my mind for a while, but I'm alittle hesitant… But if you guys really want one, let me know….
Plz Review
