Quirks of Being Me
Chapter 19
The boys rushed into the hospital, Kevin's hand wrapped around Bobbie's tightly as they were led immediately to the room in which Bridget was assigned. Neither of them could speak at first when they entered.
"Where is she?" Bobbie's voice had turned into a panicy tone. "Why isn't she here?"
"Kevin, what if she's dead?!" Smack. Joe held his cheek as he looked at his brother in shock. "OW!"
"Don't you EVER suggest that, EVER." Kevin took a death breath.
(Kevin's POV)
I don't know where she was. Did we get here to late?
"Jonas, family?"
I turned around to face a man in a white coat. "Yeah, that;s us."
"Hi, I'm Bridget's doctor."
"Where is she?"
"In the ER."
My heart began to thump faster. The ER? As in Emergency Room? Like that really crappy TV show? My hands ran through my curls and I let go of Bobbie's hand. How could she be in there already? Please, tell me she's all right. I stared up at the doctor.
"Is she okay?"
"She has to have the surgery now…but I need one of you…to see her before she does, or she wont accept the surgery." I nodded.
"I'll go." I said without hesitation and soon enough I was being led down a hall into a room labeled E.R. As soon as I entered I rushed to the operation table where Bridge lay.
"Kevin…"
"Hey…"
"I'm so glad to see you."
I felt tears welling in my eyes but I held them back as I stared down at the little girl who has grown up into a woman. "Oh bee…" I brushed some strands fro mher face. "How did something like this happen to such a wonderful kid?"
"I'm not a kid anymore Kevin…" She had the smart tone in her voice that I grasped the hint of, and it made me smile.
"Of course not."
"I'm scared…" she told me.
"Don't be…everything will be alright." She was fading, the anesthesia must be kicking in. "I'm right here, Bee…hang on for me okay?"
"Kevin…" Her eyes closed and the grasp on my hand lossened. Please…God, watch over her during this surgery.
"Hold on…"
