Chapter 4
So, with Edge's fury, Benoit's guilt, and Kurt's...well... dorkiness, the three of them got into Benoit's car.
Since Benoit was a notoriously slow driver, Edge sat in the drivers seat, and Benoit next to him. Kurt sat in back of Edge. I might be a dork, Kurt thought to himself, but I am not that dumb. Benoit would lower the seat on me and crush me, just to get a laugh, so I'll sit behind Edge.
"Dude! I can't stand the silence! Do ya mind if I turn on the radio?" Edge asked as he drummed his fingers on the steering wheel to some nameless beat.
"Sure. Go ahead." Benoit said.
"I like country music!" Kurt said happily in the back, to which Edge and Benoit ignored him.
Edge found a death metal station, and started bobbing his head along with the music. Benoit sat with his usual stoic expression, and Kurt sat, pouting with his hands covering his ears, complaining about getting a headache.
They continued driving, and pretty soon Benoit realized something. Something rather important.
"Hey...Edge? I think we just drove past a sign that said the hospital was the opposite way..."
Instead of answering, Edge lowered his head on the steering wheel. When he raised his head, he made a sharp and sudden U-turn in the middle of the, thankfully, empty highway.
"That's what happens when you let a Canadian drive!" Kurt yelled from the back.
Edge glared at him through his sunglasses, and Benoit answered for him, "Kirt. We Canadians out number you 2 to 1. Those aren't really good odds, so if I were you... I'd shut up!" Kurt spent the rest of the ride muttering about 'damn Cannucks.'
They ended up in the parking lot of the hospital, after Kurt had to give his last 5 dollars to the parking attendant so that they could actually park and not have the car towed away. Because that really wouldn't make the day be any better if they no longer had a car to get back to the hotel.
Unfortunately, the parking lot was a good three miles away from the hospital doors, so because of the urgency of the situation, and the fact that it was really -really- cold, the three men jogged to through the parking lot to get to the hospital.
When they finally got inside, Kurt was the one who asked what room Stephanie was in, and after a little bit of a fight, the nurse ended up thinking that Kurt was Shane McMahon, Stephanie's brother. It hurt Kurt's pride to have to pretend to be his archenemy, well, after Benoit and that little Mysterio guy, but he did it for Stephanie. And once she woke up, he was differently going to tell her what torture he had to endure for her.
Edge led the group to room A-3 where Stephanie was. Kurt and Benoit followed silently behind.
She looked horrible. She was a ghastly pale color, and very small looking in the giant bed. She had all sorts of needles and tubes connected to her, and her eyes were closed and black and blue. But, even though she looked horrible, they must have given her something for the pain, because she was smiling peacefully.
Edge and Benoit sat on one side of her, and Kurt sat on the other. They were quiet during this and were lost in their own thoughts.
