Chapter 9
Monday morning Travis walked into the halls of Henry Roscoe High. His face was cold and stern yet was blotchy from crying all weekend. When he walked to his locker he noticed that he hadn't seen Robbie or Ray at all. He shrugged it off and took out his Lit. book. As he was heading for his class his cell phone started to ring. He ducked into the bathroom and answered.
"Hello?"
"Travis, it's Ray." Travis's face turned to stone.
"What do you want? And why aren't you at school."
"Look, I know you're mad at me but you have to get to the hospital fast."
"Why? Is something wrong with Kim?" Travis heard Ray hand the phone over to Robbie.
"Kim's already out of the hospital. She fine and resting at home." "Then what is this about?"
"It's Lily. She was in an accident."
Travis felt the color drain from his face. He threw his phone in his messenger bag and ran out of the school. He jumped into his SUV and headed to the hospital as fast as he could.
When he entered her room he winced. She had a bandage wrapped around her head and her arm. Glass was sprayed across her entire body. One leg was in a cast but the other was covered in cuts. One gash was four inches long, two inches across, and one inch deep. She also had a neck brace and a bandage wrapped around her waist. Travis could feel his nausea rising.
"What happened to her?"
"Yesterday she came over to my house and told me about your argument. Once she left she said she wanted to be anywhere but Roscoe. She went running out of my house. An hour later I get a call from her parents saying she's in the hospital. The only thing stopping her from getting out of Roscoe was a big rig." When Robbie finished Travis had a blank stare on his face.
"You mean she..."
"She was hit by the big rig. She broke her leg and three ribs. She snapped her neck and suffered severed gashes."
"What's the worst thing?" Robbie looked to the floor and Travis saw tears fall to the floor.
"The tests haven't come back yet but they suspect she's in a...coma." Travis was so numb that he didn't feel the tears flooding down his face. He fell to the floor.
"This is all my fault."
"Yah it is!" Robbie grabbed Ray who was about to pounce on Travis.
Travis didn't notice this. He didn't notice anything. He was in his own world. Images of he and Lily floated to his memory. Happy images which brought a smile to his face. Then the nasty images came; images of their fight. One side of Travis felt like smacking himself but another side was still mad at her. Yah she was in a coma and it was his fault but nonetheless, she had treated him with a double standard and he hated that more than anything.
Travis stood up and looked over to Robbie. "I need to think." Travis started to walk away and Robbie followed him.
"What's wrong?" Travis stopped in the middle of the hallway and slid to the floor.
"Robbie, I know this must sound horrible but...part of me is still mad at her. Yah she might be in a coma but she treated me like I was trash compared to Ray."
"I'm sure she didn't mean to."
"That's what I'd like to think but..." Robbie started to get worried.
"But what?"
"Maybe she was right when she said we should break up. Maybe we should have just stayed friends." Travis stood up and walked out of the hospital without looking back.
"Oh man!" Robbie smacked his forehead before getting up and pulling Ray out of the hospital room.
"Man! What's your problem Rob?" Ray fixed his shirt, which Robbie stretched out.
"You! You're my problem!" Robbie poked Ray in the chest. Ray started getting worried.
"What did I do?"
"Travis and Lily were the most in love couple I've ever seen and YOU broke them up!"
"How did I break them up?"
"You were selfish! You couldn't just let Lily be happy! She heard you at the hospital the other day! Because of that she broke up with Travis! He got mad at her and all of this happened!"
"You can't be saying that you're blaming this on me?" Robbie face was cold and hard.
"That's exactly what I'm saying. Lily wouldn't be in that hospital bed if you would have just learned to let go, and not be such a spoiled brat!" Robbie turned around and walked into Lily's room and slammed the door in Rays face.
Just then the doctor walked into the room along with Lily's parents, Philip and Amy, and her little sister Simone. He sat down in a chair and Robbie could see that he looked tired.
"Mr. And Mrs. Randall, is Mr. McGrath allowed to stay or do you wish for him to leave."
"Robbie can stay. He's known Lily since they were two. He has the right to know." Philip answered.
"We got the results from Lily's brain scan test. She is currently...in a coma." Amy broke into tears, as did Simone. The color in Philips face had disappeared and he looked like he had been struck with a baseball bat.
