Chapter 9
CHARLIE'S P.O.V
I was finding it hard to believe that there was a possibility that Adam could be brain damaged. Averman and Dwayne had now taken over comforting Julie, who had curled up in a corner and was paying no attention to anything but her own little world. I so wanted to join her, but I had to stay strong for Adam, Julie and the ducks.
"I think we ought to call the others". I said at last receiving two nods in return. "Dwayne you call Kenny, Luis and Russ, Averman you call Connie, Guy and Goldberg and I'll call Portman, Fulton, Bombay and Orion". I organised us.
"Ok, you two go and I'll stay here with Jules". Averman told us, this was a first, Averman being serious, he could usually laugh and joke in any situation. Myself and Dwayne disappeared to the pay phones leaving Averman to stay with Julie. On the way I told Dwayne we'd just call everyone between us to save Averman having to do it when we got back.
AVERMAN'S P.O.V
This was one situation I knew I couldn't joke myself out of. Julie was worrying me slightly, she'd hardly said two words since blurting out that Adam might be brain damaged. She was sat curled up in one corner of the room, staring off into space, nothing we said registering or sinking in. Charlie wasn't much better he was trying to deny all knowledge of what Julie had said.
"Julie, Charlie and Dwayne have just gone to call the others, Do you want anything to drink or eat. Please just talk or move or anything because your making me worry, and when I'm worried I can't joke and I really want to joke right about now". I prattled for no apparent reason, but it didn't do much good.
Julie continued staring blankly at the wall, nothing an no-one could bring her out of it. I picked up the nearest sports magazine and began flicking through it. Unaware of what I was doing, I found an article about hockey and began reading it aloud to her.
"Team USA makes the finals, the team unlike their predecessors the USA ducks, have had a violent struggle to the top. Once again battling for gold against team Iceland, who again is coached by Wolf 'the dentist' Stanson, but there are fears that USA will lose the battle without the magic Coach Gordon Bombay and the Mighty Ducks had". I read a passage, not really realising until the end that it was about us. I carried on reading aloud about the obvious comparisons between each player.
"She said anything yet"? Charlie asked as he and Dwayne walked back in.
"Nope, but I tried reading something about us to her and nothing". I replied.
"Yeah, what's it say"? He asked. I think he was trying to remain as normally behaved as possible in these kind of circumstances. I tossed the magazine at him. I saw a small smile crack across his face as he read.
Here, lets try this". He moved closer to Julie. "Hey Jules, we'll have to save this article for Banksie, he's been given quite a compliment here". Nothing, she didn't even seem remotely interested. "This years team homes Michael Lamburt a top scorer who is renowned for his quick thinking and charismatic stick handling just like his successor Adam Banks". He read. Still nothing.
"Maybe we should get a doctor"? Dwayne looked equally worried now.
"Let's wait until the others get here, she might come around then". Charlie said.
15 minutes later Coach Orion, Portman and Fulton stormed in with very worried expressions on their faces. Orion went straight to Julie and started to ask what happened.
"She'll not answer you, she hasn't moved in over an hour". I told him.
"What do you mean, hasn't moved"? Portman looked questioningly at me.
"Exactly what he said, when we got here, she broke down and hasn't said or moved in over an hour". Charlie told them.
"Why haven't you got a doctor to look at her"? Orion told us.
"We were kinda hoping that when you guys got here she'd snap out of it". Charlie continued.
"Ok, what exactly happened"? Orion took our explanation for her behaviour but still wanted one for the events that had happened over the past 24 hours.
Charlie filled him in on everything that had happened since last night till now, whilst we all tried different tactics to get Julie out of her coma like state. By the time Charlie had finished, Ken, Luis, Goldberg and Russ had appeared and all awaited patiently on news of Adam's condition.
"Basically, before Julie went all coma like she managed to tell us that as she and Adam got home, two guys ran out of their apartment and knocked Adam down the stairs". Charlie informed them quickly.
"Whoa, that's way harsh after everything they've been through these past 24 hours". Ken pointed out.
"Yeah, it really makes you see that they were made for each other". Luis said staring at Julie.
"I'm just gonna go and see if they've got any news about Adam". Charlie excused himself. I think reality was finally hitting him.
"Are Connie and Guy on there way"? I asked Dwayne as I noticed they were only two ducks not present apart from Bombay but I knew he and Charlie's mom would be here anytime soon.
"We rang but just got their machine. I kinda remember them saying they were just popping into see Guy's mom on their way past". Dwayne replied.
CHARLIE'S P.O.V
It was finally starting to sink in, that Adam could indeed be brain damaged. I stood in the small queue at the reception to see if I could find anything out about Adam. When I finally got to the front, I could hear my mom's voice call my name. I turned to see her walking briskly with Coach Bombay, both looked incredibly worried.
"Charlie, we got here as soon as possible. What's happened"? My mom asked before she'd even reach me.
"Adam's been hurt. He was just climbing the stairs to their apartment when two guys pushed past Julie from inside their apartment and then they knocked into Adam and he's fallen down them". I spoke as quickly as possible.
"Oh God, how are they both"? Coach Bombay looked even more shocked.
"Julie's just not with it, staring at the wall not even registering when people talk to her. She's in the relatives room with everyone. As for Adam I was just going to ask if there's any news on him". I replied then turned around to face the desk. "Hi, erm could you tell me how Adam Banks is"? I asked politely.
"Are you a relative"? She answered my question with one of her own.
"No, but I'm his best friend". I answered.
"I'm sorry I can't give out any details unless you're a family member or partner". She replied.
"Well his girlfriend is in the relatives room but she's kinda out of it at the moment". I almost begged.
"I'm sorry I can't tell you any medical information but he's still upstairs waiting for his scan". She replied.
"Ok, thanks". I backed down and headed back to the ducks.
"So what did they say"? They all jumped at me as soon as I walked in.
"They will only tell Julie or any family medical details but he hasn't come back from his scan yet". I told them.
"ADAM"! Julie suddenly shrieked loudly, startling us all.
I'm leaving it here cos if I don't I'll give away the next chapter. PLEASE R&R!!!!
