Title: To Protect

Author: Winter Blaze

POV: Gordo

Chapter 9: The News

POV: Melina

I got up from the couch to answer my front door just so I could tell who ever it was pounding on my door to go kiss off, but when I opened my door to see Matt's sister, the girl who tried to still Matt away from me, I think her name is Miranda, and Gordo I was worried.

"Come in." I offered but before I could say anything else I was interrupted, "Melina you need to come with us to the hospital now!" "Let me just get my shoes." I ran back into the living room, got my shoes, and ran bare foot back outside to where Gordo's car was.

Everyone got into the car, and Gordo drove to the hospital, but on the way Lizzie informed me, well everyone actually, what had happened. I could not believe the news Lizzie was telling us. Matt never said anything to me, but that would explain why he always paced around when he came over to my house.

We arrived at the hospital, by then I had my shoes on, and once we where inside Lizzie told me where Matt's room was and I ran all the way there, not caring if this was a hospital are not. I pushed open his door, let it close behind me, and sat near him on his hospital bed. I saw all the tubes he was hooked up too, and then I heard his heart monitor beep. I guess I blocked out the noise when I came in.

Sitting next to him on that bed and watching him breathe, well more like watching the machine that was helping him breathe go up and down. I gave him a once over, and then kissed him on both cheeks, and started to cry. I couldn't stand seeing Matt like this, it hurt because I couldn't protect him, but I knew what I had to do.

I wiped my tears away roughly with the back of my hand, and yelled, "MATT MCGUIRE, DO YOU HEAR ME YOU HAVE TO GET BETTER. YOU JUST HAVE TOO BECAUSE YOU PROMISED ME THAT YOU WOULD SHOW ME THE ROPES AT THE HIGH SCHOOL," I stopped my yelling than said in a calm voice, "Don't break your promise to me please, I love you Matt." and then I lay next to him on his bed. Wondering if he would be all right, and if he heard anything, I told him.
