Chapter 10
Once Stacey returned, Torrie left the room to avoid any fights that would occur between the two of them. After Torrie left, the hall was silent. Shane was holding Amy, Dawn was consoling Adam, and Mark, John and Stacey just sat by themselves, wiping away their tears on their own. A doctor came out looking at the sad seven teenagers with a puzzled look.
"How do you know Gail?" The doctor asked to anyone that would answer.
"We met.....At a cafe," Dawn lied. "All eight of us were by ourselves and we just sorta joined together and have been together since. We're the closest thing shes got to a family sir, please let us see her." Dawn gave him a puppy dog eyed look, hoping to convince him.
"The only person that can see her is the father, or any intimate family," the doctor told Dawn taking a seat next to her. "Is the father here?" Mark, John and Shane all shot at a look at Adam, who was already standing up.
"Yea.....I'm here," Adam said quietly, slowly walking over towards the doctor. "May I see her?" The doctor nodded his head, standing up and opening the door for Adam. When the doctor turned his back to the runaways, Adam gave them his movie star smile and a thumbs up. He walked into the private room slowly, not knowing if she was awake or sleeping. When he moved closer to the bed, he could see Gail sitting straight up in her bed, glaring at the wall across from her. "Gail?" Adam whispered, trying to get her out of her transe. "Hey Gail, I'm the only person that's aloud in right now until they release you....So....If you wanna talk....."
"I didn't do anything wrong," Gail interupted. "I slept a lot, I ate well, I didn't move a lot, we stayed away from the sun, and caffiene, and alcohol and drugs.....Why Adam? I was going to be a good mom. I remeber being at the beach, and when the girls were gossiping, I went to the ocean to put my toes in, and it kicked. I promised it that it would have a good life, and a safe home, where the parents wouldn't fight. I didn't want it to have the life I did, Adam. What if that was my only shot of having a kid? Now it's gone. Gone! Forever!" Adam rushed to her side, pulling her into a tight embrace. Hushing the tiny Korean, he stroked her hair slowly, running his fingers through her thin, black hair. "Adam?" she whispered through her sobs. "Why are you here?" Adam pulled back far enough so she could see the smile he was giving her. "What did you say? Please tell me you kissed ass...."
"I told them I was the dad to your kid." He tucked a piece of his blonde hair behind his ear, winking at Gail. "Gail, you still with me?" he asked. She nodded her head. "I called my mom. She says your welcomed to stay with us." Gail opened her mouth to say something, but Adam put a finger to her lips. "Just come stay with me k? I don't want you going back to your old home; my home is your home now, k? What's mine is yours. I love you Gail." He looked at her with sincere eyes, showing he was serious at what he just said. "Anyways," he quickly said changing the topic, "Shane managed to get us a huge ass suite at that hotel Torrie was staying at, so we'll be staying there until the end of the month, I don't know what's going to happen after that, I'm heading home....Stacey and Mark are going to make babies....I don't know. You need anything?"
"You love me?" Gail asked looking at him in the eyes. Adam nodded his head yes, a soft pink raising to his cheeks. "You're too cute," she said to him, pinching his cheeks. "Do you know when I get to leave here?"
"3more hours babe," Dawn Marie told her walking into the room, her arm linked with Shane's. "But, they need all that personal stuff, your parents name, phone number, why they aren't here...." Gail fell back onto the pillows behind her, sighing a sad sigh.
"I fucking hate my parents..." Gail mumbled to no one in particular. Stacey, Amy and Dawn all looked at each other, nodding in agreement. Mark and John hung out away from Gail, neither of them knowing what to do in a situation like this. Gail took notice, and glared at Mark. "Hey fuck face," she called to him. "Just because we're in a hospital doesn't mean you can't talk." Mark gave Gail a small smile, still un-easy in the situation. John was standing behind Stacey, longing for her touch again, but he knew that was only between the two of them. He left the room quickly, not being able to stand the tension that stood between him, Mark and Stacey. Shane saw the wannabe rapper leave, and quickly followed him out the door. When he turned the corner at the end of the hall, he saw the man lusting for Stacey, sitting down, crying.
