Lily assessed the situation one more time in her head. She didn't know how they were going to get Travis to the hospital; she just knew that she had to.
"Guys, lets just get Travis to the hospital okay?
Explanations can come later" Lily said almost panicky as she walked over to
Travis. She tried to get her own arm under his shoulder, but looked at Robbie
and Ray for help.
"I'm not helping. I'm heading home" Ray said getting up and walking away
without even saying sorry or good-bye to anyone.
Robbie jogged over to where Lily was standing
beside Travis and looked at him.
"Alright, Travis… if this hurts, I am so sorry. But Lily and I are just going
to put our shoulders under your arms, and were going to take as much weight off
of you, and we'll try not to make you walk much" Robbie said as he helped
Travis stand up. He, as gently as possible, slid his shoulder under Travis's
armpit. Lily quickly did the same, the best that she could.
"Hopefully we can find someone that can drive us" Lily said looking at the ground
as she walked. She suddenly looked up at Travis who seemed to let his head bob
around as much as he could. His head seemed like it was attached to a
marionette.
"Maybe I should call someone?" Robbie asked looking at Travis as he noticed Travis's eyes were closing periodically.
"Maybe" Lily said softly and stopped walking, "But
who are we going to call?"
Robbie ran through a mental list of people in his mind. He could call anyone's
parents, but he really didn't want to, not yet. He could call Kim, but that
might not be a good idea, since he was the only one that kind of got along with
her. And phoning Ed and Ted would be useless, they didn't drive. Finally, he
thought of someone to call.
"We could call Mickey" Robbie said as he pulled his cell phone out of his pocket with his free hand.
"That would be a good idea. One of the waiters could look after the place" Lily said thoughtfully out loud as Robbie started to talk into his phone.
"Hi. Mickey? Yea… oh everything's fine. Travis just needs to get to a hospital really quick, if you can come get us… I'll tell you what happened when you get here" Robbie said just as he told Mickey where they were and hung up his phone.
It was only minutes before Mickey showed up in his old vintage car. They carefully put Travis in his car, with Lily riding in the back with him and Robbie sat in the front. Robbie slowly, explaining every detail of what he knew, explained the whole situation to Mickey. Mickey didn't ask many questions, he just nodded his head listening carefully to everything that Robbie said, making sure he drove with caution and obedience. Once they got to the hospital they all helped Travis inside as Robbie and Lily tried to fill out papers for him, as they except Travis right away, on account to him have now passing out.
Lily and Robbie sat patiently outside of Travis's room."I still can't believe Ray did this" Lily said softly looking at the ground.
"Me either. Travis and I both were coaxing him for so long to just tell you he liked you. He never did. And it's not that Travis should have asked to go out with you, he didn't need to. Ray wasn't acting on his feelings. Ray couldn't sit there and wait forever and ever, never letting you be with a guy because he liked you and was just too chicken to tell you." Robbie sighed as he scratched his head thoughtfully for a minute.
Lily thought and smiled a bit, "I know. I know what you mean. I don't think Ray had any right to be mad at all… but I think the fact that Travis did it is what really hurt him"
Robbie nodded, "I think so too." He looked up and noticed Mickey walking towards them with cups of water.
"I got these for you two. I phoned Travis's parents and they said they would be here soon. I also phoned your parents Lily, and I got Lily's parents to phone yours Robbie, so they know where you are" Mickey said as he handed them the cups of water
"Thank you so much Mickey" Lily said as she looked up at the ceiling of the hallway.
"For everything, really." Robbie smiled appreciatively at Mickey.
"No problem. I'm going to get back to work now. I hope Travis is okay, and if you need anything, just ask okay?" Mickey said as he turned around and started to walk down the hallway.
Lily and Robbie sat in silence for a while. Lily looked at the ground and focused on a little pebble as she noticed Robbie start to talk.
"Ya know… that nurse has been in there for a while. I wonder what's going on with Travis. If he's even woken up yet" Robbie said softly crossing his arms over his chest.
"I know. I mean, he's hurt pretty bad, but that nurse has been in there forever" Lily said softly as she started to play with her hair from being nervous.
Robbie was just about to open his mouth when he noticed Travis's room door open.
"Are you two Lily and Robbie?" the nurse said
poking her head out of the room.
"Yes" they both said at the same time.
"Well… he's awake now. But be calm with him okay?
He was passed out before from shock, so be gentle when talking to him okay? Who
knows what would have happened if he would have been any longer getting here."
The nurse said looking at the two of them then added "Did you try to get in
contact with his parents?"
"Yes" Lily said nodding.
"His mom said they would be here as soon as they could be" Robbie added looking
at the nurse.
"Alright, well you two can come in okay? But be quiet" The nurse said opening the door for Robbie and Lily.
Robbie and Lily walked into Travis's room to see him lying on a bed, which was folded up. He had a temporary bandage wrapped around his head/jaw, allowing him to talk quietly and without moving his mouth a lot. His nose also had a bandage over the arch, protecting it for the mean time.
"Hi guys" Travis said softly, almost whispering.
"Travis, are you okay?" Lily asked immediately without really thinking.
"What does it look like?" he smirked and shook his head a bit.
"I just wanted to ask" Lily said smiling at Travis. She took his hand, hoping it wasn't sure and held it gently in hers.
"Dude, I'm sorry this had to happen" Robbie said looking at Travis with an apologetic look on his face.
"It's okay" Travis said trying to smile and sighed.
Lily and Robbie had been talking to Travis with Travis answering every so often, or just nodding his head, sighing or smirking just to get his point across.
Lily, Travis and Robbie had been sitting in the hospital room for about an hour when there was a knock on the door. The door slowly opened and a head popped in through the door. Lily turned her head quickly to face the door when she noticed who it was.
"Hey honey, how are you feeling?" the lady said walking into the room.
"Mom?" Travis said raising his eyebrow and shifting his jaw oddly as the lady went and stood just beside where Robbie was sitting near the bed.
