Grace and Evan were in the Waiting Room at the hospital. The dumb doctors won't let them go in to see Jose, Hannah, or Courtni yet. Grace's ankle was only sprained, so the nurse but an ace-bandage on it. Evan was still crying. Grace was walking back and forth in front of him. When she saw that he was still crying she sat down next to him and hugged him. First the news from the police officer, now this. Evan feels like he has failed Jose twice.
"What's going to happen to them Grace?" Evan asked, through sobs. Grace just shook her head and kept hugging him. Then Evan said, "I...uh...called my mom." Grace stopped hugging him and looked at him. "What'd she say?" she asked, not wanting to know the answer.
Evan started crying harder.
"It's ok Evan; you don't have to tell me now." Grace said.
Evan shook his head. "It's not because I don't want you to know. It's just, I can't repeat what she said." Grace started crying too.
15 minutes later
The doctor came into the Waiting Room. He came up to Evan and Grace and said, "I, am uh, very sorry." Evan shook his head with terror on his face. "Your brother and your sister, " he said, pointing to Grace, "are in critical condition. Courtni is just fine. She just fainted from shock. Hannah has a very bad blade wound to her liver; eternal bleeding. And Jose has many bruises and his body may not be able heal it. He also could have brain damage, but we're not sure yet, we still have to take some tests an x-ray for broken bones and infection." He said.
"Don't tell me that!" Evan yelled. He sat down on the chair.
"Thank you, doctor." Grace said, walking towards Evan. She embraced him in a strong warm hug. She laid on his shoulder and they slept. They were exhausted.
Half Hour Later
Grace woke up and saw Evan talking to one of the doctors with a HUGE smile on his face. They shook hands and then Evan ran over to Grace and ran into her, hugging her. She almost fell over. But he held onto her. He picked her up. Grace already knew what this meant. Hannah and Jose were going to be ok.
"The doctor said that they can leave the hospital in 3 days!" Evan exclaimed. Grace smiled at him. He looked so cute, smiling like that. They hugged each other again. Evan looked at Grace. He touched her face and was leaning down to her. He was just about to kiss her when the doctor called Evan's name.
"Is there a," The doctor looked down to something in his hand, "uh, a Mr. Wallace here?" he asked.
"What's going to happen to them Grace?" Evan asked, through sobs. Grace just shook her head and kept hugging him. Then Evan said, "I...uh...called my mom." Grace stopped hugging him and looked at him. "What'd she say?" she asked, not wanting to know the answer.
Evan started crying harder.
