Shattered Life: Chapter 11: Nervous

Andy's POV

"Delia's awake? Hm...didn't notice..." He said taking a swig of milk from the milk carton. Which I would have called him on but was in too much of a state of shock.

"No...not Delia." I said propping myself up on the island.

"Well, that's the only sister I have and unless you are keeping something from me...then I have no clue what your talking about." He said looking at me confused and trying to grasp on to what I was saying.

"Yes...I know..." I said trying to find the right words.

"Well..." he said getting impatient.

"Katrina woke up last night..." I started.

"Really? That's great!" He said with this spring of enthusiasm, in which I didn't want to ruin.

"And she said I was her father..." I stated looking up at him.

"What?" He said very confused now.

"Yes...the nurse called this morning saying, "Your daughter, Katrina is up!" like I was dumb." I said trying to make sense of what was going on, when I remembered what happened last night. "Do you remember what happened last night?" I asked wondering if he had even remembered what happened to him.

"The accident...of course." He said taking another swig of milk from the carton and then putting it back in the fridge, then sitting down at the table to read Manga and eat his soggy cocoa puffs.

"No, not the accident, I mean what happened to you?" I said turning around to look at him. I leaned back on the island and crossed my arms over my chest.

"Vaguely, why?" He said paying no attention to me.

"Because I want to know what caused you to faint like that on the hallway floor." I said looking at him like I already know just come out and tell me.

"I'm not sure...I've been real stressed lately." He said trying to avoid the subject in a way.

"Well I don't think it was you being stressed out...I mean your temperature was very high and so was your pulse. Now I don't know if this is true or if it's just me but I think you are taking something..." I said saying it flatout which I know I shouldn't have done because it'll cause me some trouble I know it.

"Hm...well honestly I'm not doing anything mischievous." He said looking up at me. I gave him a surprised look. "I know surprising isn't it." He said sarcastically before getting back to his anime and Delia walked in the room.

"Hey honey!" I said watching her go to the counter to receive her Kix.

"Hello." She said solemnly. Something was bugging her I can tell.

"What's wrong kiddo?" I asked having this fake worried sound in my voice.

"Oh nothing..." She said as she stirred around her cereal.

"Well I don-" I started before Nina walked in the door.

"Hey everyone!" She said standing in the doorway.

"Hey, how are you?" I asked surprised because she was early.

"Good, you?" she asked back as she got Delia's stuff together.

"Um...tired, but hey."

"Yeah." She said sounding exhausted.

"Well anyway, Have a good day sweetie and see you later!" I said giving her a kiss on the forehead and sending her off. "Thanks for doing this!" I said to Nina as they walked out the door.

"No problem any time!" she said walking away.

"Oh wait Nina!" I said running out the door. "Nina!"

"Yeah!" She said hopping out of the car quickly.

"Could you maybe watch Delia a little longer tonight?!" I said freezing.

"Yeah, sure!"

"Thanks! I own you one!"

"Yeah!" She said hopping back in the car and me back in the house.

"Now to get you off to school..." I said looking at Ephram, who just turned up his music louder on his headphones and walked out the door. "Good bye to you to!" I said yelling after him. There is something going on with him and I don't know what.

Ephram's POV

My Dad's onto me...he knows I've been doing things I'm not suppose to do. For the past week I've been drinking and doing drugs. They are the only thing that make me feel better. I can't help it. It's like one shot of vodka with some weed and I'm set for the day, everything just floats on by like nothing has ever happened to me. I like that feeling...I don't want it to go away.

Andy's POV

I walked into the hospital with mixed emotions...scared, nervous, surprised. I didn't know exactly why I was here...but I was and I can't go back now.

"Hi, Dr. Brown! How are you today?" a nurse who helped me with Colin's surgery said.

"Good Kathy, how about yourself?" I said in a fake voice.

"I'm okay, it's been busy lately." She said walking behind the front desk.

"Hm...I see, sorry to hear..." I said almost forgetting why I was here, "Oh! Um...Can you tell me where I can find Katrina Lancaster's room?"

"Oh yeah! I just checked on her, I think she's sleeping but I'm not sure." She said almost excited, but kind of dumbfounded why I was asking. I can understand why though, ever since I operated on Colin I've been scared of this place. "It's right down the hall and the first door on your left." She said breaking me out of my trance.

"Oh, okay thanks!" I said turning to walk away.

"Yeah, no problem! See ya later!" She yelled after me.

Katrina's POV

I was staring out the window and daydreaming when Dr. Brown came rushing in my room. It startled me, and broke me from my concentration. "Dr. Brown!" I said about 10 seconds too late.

"Hello, Katrina..." he said in a quiet but serious voice. I could tell he was nervous about something, I couldn't tell what though.

"What are you doing here Dr. Brown?" I said startled and confused and not knowing what the hell was going on!

"I need to talk to you..." He said grabbing a chair. I knew what this was about...but I didn't want to talk about, even if my life depended on it.
