Connie's POV:
When we arrived at the hospital we asked about Banks and we were told to wait because no visitors were allowed right now. The nurse didn't even tell us what was wrong she said something rude to us along the lines that she wasn't allowed to give out information to little dilenquients like us.
I had tried to get Julie to come along but she refused: saying how he didn't need to see her right now, and she didn't want to stress him out. It was totally understandable but I think she still should have come.
" Hey, whose that?" Guy asked pointing to a blonde girl sitting in the waiting room biting her nails. I recognized her from first period German, and come to think of it her name was Lily. That solved that mystery, even though I still wasn't sure if she was actually dating Banks or they were just friends. It was obviously something though since she was here.
" Yeah she's friends with Banksie." I told Guy.
" Friends huh?" Charlie responded wiggiling his eyebrows.
" I guess I don't know. Maybe she knows what's going on." I suggusted and we headed over to where she was sitting.
" Hey Lily right?" I said and she jumped obviously to lost in her own thoughts to see us approach.
" Hi, Connie right?" she asked nervously, and stood up to face us.
" Yeah, and oh this is Charlie and Guy" I said motioning to the two of them, and they both nodded.
" Hi" she said and greeting them and they said hi back.
" So do you know what's going on?" I asked sitting down next to the seat that she had occupied, and Charlie and Guy sat down across from us.
" Um... no not really. Just that his wrist is probably broken and a mild concussion. His parents just got here so maybe they know more" she suggested.
" Ouch he is going to have to be out for at least a month than." Guy said, saying what we were all thinking.
" Yeah, I suppose so. Did his parents talk to you?" Charlie asked Lily.
" No. I don't even think they saw me. They looked like they were in there own world." she said. I looked in the direction of the Banks's. They must have been at some party because they were both dressed a little to fancy for a night at home or a hockey game.
" Should somebody go talk to them? Because I mean how else will we know what is going on" Guy asked. It was true none of the nurses or doctors would talk to us. But Philip Banks was just a little scary– and obviously hated the three of us– along with the rest of the Ducks.
" No way I am going" Charlie responded.
" I'll go" Lily said standing up. " They know my Dad and step mom so it shouldn't be too brutal" she finished and walked over to the Bankes.
" Brave girl" Charlie said glancing at her. " Banksie is lucky" he finished.
" What do you mean?" I asked even though I knew what he was talking about, I just wanted to see what made him come to his conclusion.
" Well isn't it obvious. They have to be at least dating." he said and I glanced over at this Lily girl; who was talking quietly with Mr. And Mrs. Banks.
" Why do you say that?" Guy asked Charlie giving me a weird look.
" You would notice too if you lived with the guy. He hasn't been his brooding self lately, and he has been disapering for hours. He claims he goes to the library but he never has any books. Than there's the fact that she came to the hospital. That's a very girlfriend thing to do." Charlie said and before I could say anything Lily came back.
" They said we could see him, for like two minutes" she said.
" Awesome how did you manage that?" Charlie asked, and behind her back mouthed I told you so at me, and we walked down the hall to Bank's room.
" No idea. He probably owes my dad a favor or something, and well he didn't exactly see you guys. I don't think he likes you though so I didn't mention you were here." She said.
" Yeah he does hate us. I don't see why though. We only turned his son from being a selfish snob into a Duck." Charlie said and Guy and I laughed.
" Well you guys did a good job. Oh here it is." she said stopping in front of room 18. She opened the door, and Banks was lying in bed staring at the T.V. He looked kinda out of it and was very pale. His left wrist was also covered by a white cast.
" Hey" he said finally noticing us after a few secounds.
" Hey man. How are you?" Charlie asked.
" Not bad. They gave me something I think." He said.
" Are they letting you sleep? Because of the concussion and all" I asked him and he stared at me with a blank expression.
" Oh I have no idea. I think they said soomething about that. Lily hey come here I want to tell you something." He said motioning her to come forward, and whispering something in her ear.
" They definitely gave him something." Charlie whispered and he was right. I had never seen Banks so realaxed. He had finished whispering in Lily's ear and she smiled and whispered something back to him. This did not look good.
" Great" Banks said loudly, and smiled at her.
" Well I guess we should go" I said looking quickly at my watch, it had been more than two minutes and I didn't want Philip Banks finding us in here.
" Yeah we will come back tommorow." Charlie said/
" Okay, whatever" he said leaning back on his pillows, still staring at Lily.
" Feel better" Lily said and we all left.
" I guess I should call my mom, maybe she can give us a ride home." Charlie suggusted. I had totally forgotten that we needed to find a ride home.
" You guys need a ride?" Lily asked hearing what Charlie said. I was about to say no– I did not want to hang out with this girl anymore– but before I could answer Charlie answered for all of us.
" Yeah that would be great thanks." He answered.
" No big deal, we are all going to the same place after all." she said as we walked out of the hospital and towards her car. Guy put his arm around me and I leaned my head against his shoulder. He always kept me warm no matter how cold it got.
" Thanks" I whispered to him.
" Yeah. Can we talk when we get back?" he said.
" Sure about what though?" I asked. I was a little curious he had been acting weird all night.
" Nothing much" he responded.
We approached Lily's car, which was of course a black Mercedes. No wonder Bank's parents liked her.
" Nice car." Charlie said sounding impressed, and he jumped into the front seat and Guy and I in the back. She started the car and we made our way back to Eden Hall. No one really said much on the way and we were forced to listen to some heavy metal music, thanks to Charlie controlling the radio. When we made it back to school Lily offered to drive us back to the hospital tommorow and Charlie again accepted for us. He also mentioned there might be a few more of us. She said it was alright, and headed back to wherever she lived.
" It's still early" Charlie said looking at his watch. He was right it was only ten o' clock. " Feel like a movie, I'll call Linda" he suggested.
" Why not? Guy?" I asked him.
" Sure" he said.
" I have to go change first" I said heading inside and motioning for Guy to follow me.
" Yeah, I have to change too" Guy said following me inside.
" Okay call me when your done changing" Charlie said.
" Connie" Guy said pulling me into the empty lounge, everyone was probably out partying.
" Guy" I said kissing on the lips.
" No I need to talk to you" he said pulling away.
" Okay" I said.
" You would tell me if you were into someone else right?" he asked. I was totally confused by the question.
" What?" I asked.
" I mean you like Banksie right, because I mean if you do just tell me I will be totally heartbroken but it would be better if you just told me" he mumbled and he was unable to look at me. I couldn't help but laughing at him on this one.
" Sorry" I said noticing the confused look on his face. " Me like Banksie, where did u get an insane idea like that?" I asked him.
" I don't know you just seem to care a lot about who he dates and all" he said looking a little less anxious.
" Alright there's a reason for that, but it's a secret. So Guy Germaine you have to keep it a secret or I will have to kill you. And that would suck because I love you, but I would do it." I said
" Well you can tell me. Who would I tell? I mean I can't tell you because you already know." he responded.
" Yeah well I know plenty of people you could tell." I said.
" Well I won't. I promise." he said giving me a look I couldn't refuse.
" Fine, I don't like Banks but my best friend and room mate does." I hinted.
" Oooh, say no more I get it now." he smiled.
" Good" I said kissing him agian.
" Well I guess I should go change" I said pulling away from him, and headed back to my room.
