Lovechain
Chap 6
A/n: You saw what happened, what a spot to leave Nicole! Does she love him or is it Maddy she loves! Read on to find out!
"Well I like you too, Paul!" whispered Nicole, not really knowing if she did love him or not, but she thought she did.
"You do! I loved you for like forever!" cried Paul, then he glanced round to see who heard, his sister was one of them, "Would you like to be my girl-friend?"
"Of course I would!" then Nicole leapt forward and kissed him on the lips, it felt wonderful, maybe she did love him.
When they broke apart they both blushed, it was a good job everyone else was kissing their girl-friends and boy-friends.
"So you do love me, fooling around in lab class with me wasn't just a show, it was real!" whispered Paul
"Yes it was real, Paul! Yes it was!" said Nicole, she was starting to believe that she did love him.
"You know what? Does that that mean I get to hang with my sis and the rest of them?" asked Paul.
"Of course it does, your my boy-friend!" replied Nicole.
"And Rachael's my sis and she said I couldn't!" complained Paul.
"But this is different, my friends are yours!" exclaimed Nicole, "I really do love you and you love me!"
"Oh right! Kiss me baby." whispered Paul.
Meanwhile Dana and Logan had snuck away.
"Logan we should have told someone we were going, we don't want them looking for us!" said Dana with a worrying tone.
"I'll text someone then!" as Logan said this he whipped his mobile out, "Who shall I text?"
"Zoey!" said Dana knowing that she would understand.
"I love you Dana, please stay with me for the rest of my life?" Logan asked lovingly.
"I can't promise, you know that, but I'll try!"
Logan sent the text to Zoey then he wrapped his arms round Dana's waist and started to kiss her, she kissed him back. They were locked together in a passionate kiss, holding on for what seemed like hours, but was only minutes. Then Logan's phone started to ring.
"Don't answer it, Logan!" Dana pleaded.
But Logan glanced at the caller ID, "It's Zoey! I better get it!" he sighed.
"OK!" Dana said miserably.
"Hi Zoey, what's up? He's done what? I'll come straight away!" said Logan into his phone.
"What is it?" asked Dana with a worried look.
At the beach everyone was huddled round Dustin, who was lying on his back with his leg at a funny angle and he was unconscious.
"Who have you called?" asked Dana who was running way ahead of Logan who was panting in the distance.
"We've called the ambulance and Mr Bender, who has arrived already!" sobbed Zoey, tears were streaming down her cheeks.
"The...recovery...position." panted a puffed out Logan, then he fell down in the sand.
Dana stepped forward and fixed Dustin into the recovery position.
"How did it happen?" she asked.
"He was playing on the rocks with me, when he slipped on one and fell onto that rock." cried Rachael who was just as upset as Zoey, "What if he hit his head? What would I do then? This is all my fault, I suggested it!" (a/n:OK! I don't know if there are rocks on their beach, but I needed something!)
"It's not your fault Rachael!" said a comforting voice, it was Mr Bender, "I go on the rocks all the time, this could have happened to me or my kids, but it happened to Dustin! It's not your fault!" (OK! I don't know if Mr Bender has kids, but he does in my stories!)
When the ambulance arrived Logan was standing up normally and Dustin was semi-awake.
"Who's gonna come in the back with him?" asked young skinny lady.
"Zoey!" everyone said.
"Everyone else can come in my car!" shouted Mr Bender.
So everyone except Zoey and Dustin, who got in the ambulance, piled into the back of Mr Bender's car.
"We'll try and follow you!" called Mr Bender to the paramedics, "So we'll meet you there!"
"Right I'll see you all there!" sobbed Zoey as the doors closed.
Mr Bender did his best to follow the ambulance, but when he finally lost it he took a short cut. Nobody was saying anything. Chase was hugging his legs, Maddy and Michael were avoiding eye-contact and were sitting at separate ends of the car, Nicole and Rachael were leaning into Paul, Quinn an Adam were holding hands, Dana and Logan were hugging each other comfortingly and Mr Bender was concentrating on the road.
Then Quinn broke the silence, "He'll be alright! He's a strong kid, you know that Rachael! Don't you?"
"Of course I do! I am a year older than him, but I am just so scared!" Rachael replied, then she broke down crying.
"Zoey looked traumatized!" Chase finally said, he hadn't said anything since he heard Rachael scream when Dustin fell.
"Are you all right Chase?" asked Logan suspiciously.
"No I'm not! My girl-friend's brother is unconscious and we're rushing to the hospital! How the hell do you think I feel?" Chase screamed, he was so frustrated.
"Cool it, man!" cried Michael, "Everything will be all right. As Quinn said he's a strong kid like his sister, he may not be as perfect, but he's strong!"
"What do you mean he's not perfect, he is!" screamed Rachael.
"Right break it up, you lot! We're there!" called Mr Bender.
In the emergency room Dustin was lying on the table still semi-awake, Zoey was in the waiting room.
"What am I gonna do? I can't sit here on my own I'll go mad! I wish Mr Bender would hurry up! Oh Chase I need you! Oh someone break the silence!" whispered Zoey to her self.
As if by magic the whole group came pushing in through the door. Chase ran towards Zoey.
"Oh Zoey, have you heard anything yet?" asked a desperate Chase.
"He's still semi-awake! They're going to take him to x-ray in a moment, but they'll tell me when he wakes up!" said a happier Zoey.
"You here that, Rachael! He's gonna be OK!" said a very happy Paul.
Meanwhile Dustin was being taken to x-ray, when he woke up.
He tried to talk to but his mouth felt numb, he couldn't speak, so it sounded like this, "Hair om pie?"
Meaning "Where am I?"
A big bouncy nurse came bounding over, "Oh hello little un! You're in the hospital! From what we could gather from your sister, you fell off the rocks you were playing on and injured your leg and you might have hit your head! Don't try to talk, we can't understand you! Sorry, pet!"
As she said this his ears were ringing either her voice, he tried to protest at being called little but he was too sore, and he couldn't speak either.
"What you don't like being called little?" she semi-asked, he winced at her, "Well I'll just get your sister and then I'll be back." after she said this she bounded out into the waiting room.
"Zoey, Dustin is awake, but he can't speak and he can barely move, but things are looking up!" she said kindly, "Oh and he might not be able to remember much either."
Zoey didn't know whether to be happy or sad, she decided to be happy he was awake, but sad he couldn't talk.
"Would you and one or two of your friends like to come and see him?" the nurse asked.
"Yes, please!" whispered Zoey, then she turned round to talk to her friends, "Chase and Rachael would you come with me?"
"Of course, I have to see Dustin!" cried Rachael.
"I'll go as long as I don't have to look at him, I hate pain!" whispered Chase.
"You don't have to do it if you don't want!" whispered Zoey.
"But I do, to be with you!" whispered Chase back.
So they walked through to the emergency room. Chase had his arm round Zoey and Rachael was walking ahead with the nurse, who wasn't helping by telling stupid hospital jokes.
When they got to there, they saw Dustin lying on his back looking up at the roof. Zoey cried she'd never seen him like this.
"Ro!" he tried to say Zo, "Sagel!" meaning Rachael.
"Dustin, don't speak!" said the nurse sternly.
"Dustin, you're gonna be fine! Isn't he?" sobbed Rachael.
"Of course he is!" boomed the nurse.
"Chase is here aswell Dust! But he's not gonna look!" Zoey said softly.
"Gasse!" Dustin had tried to say Chase.
"Yes I'm here! Owwww! Zoey!" said Chase, still not looking, "What was that for?"
"He's reaching for you if you looked!" said Zoey a little annoyed.
Chase opened his eyes and sure enough, Dustin's hand was searching for him. Chase clutched his hand and thought maybe he wont recover.
"Degal!" they looked at him, "Hair Degal?"
"What do you think he means?" asked the nurse.
"I have no idea!" complained Chase.
"Degal! Degal!" Dustin kept groaning the same word.
" OK! Stop talking!" cried the nurse, "We'll figure out what you're saying. Anything you know sound like that?"
Chase racked his brain cells then he thought, "Michael!"
Dustin groaned in agreement, then tried to make a gesture with his hand, but failed.
"Do you want the rest of them?" asked Rachael.
Dustin again groaned in agreement.
"I suppose they could come in as long as you don't speak!"
Dustin groaned again.
"I'll get them!" cried Chase, desperate to get out the room.
"Hurry back!" called Zoey as he headed out the door.
