Miss Not-So-Popular
Chapter 19
Annabeth Chase
.::.
We rushed to the hospital right away, the whole car ride I sat, shaking, in the passenger seat of car. We arrived within minutes, and my mom tried her hardest to console me as she guided me blindly towards the revolving doors of the hospital emergency office.
The moment we walked in we were attacked by Bellona and Hylla, both had tear tracks running down their faces. Hylla had always been like the older sister I never had, and we found consolation in each other's arms, I buried my face into her dark hair and cried into her shoulder, I could hear her doing the same.
"She's in the surgery room already. We don't know exactly what's broken or collapsed or anything. They'll tell us when they finish." Bella said quietly, hugging my mom and me when I'd gotten out of Hylla's arms.
"All we can do is wait." My mom placed a hand on Bella's shoulder and helped her sit down on one of the chairs. We waited for hours, the whole time it felt like my stomach was doing backflips and my heart was being stabbed repeatedly with needles. My best friend might've died today, and I didn't know what to do without her.
After a couple hours, Frank and Hazel sprinted in, their faces full of worry and fright. "How is she? We just got the news!" Hazel sobbed, she buried her face into Frank's shoulder then came over to hug each of us.
"She's still in surgery." Hylla whispered loud enough so they could hear. Hazel sat next to me and I grasped her hand, squeezing it tightly. Frank sat down a couple minutes later, his face pale and his hands shaking.
Finally, after several hours, a nurse came into the waiting room, she smiled when she saw all of us, and gestured for us to get up. "You must be Reyna's friends and family, come on in." We all anxiously got up and followed her down a maze of twists and turns till we finally came into a hospital room.
There, laid my best friend, she must've been asleep because her eyes were closed, but that wasn't the thing that took my breath away. Her beautiful face was covered in white gauze and purple-black bruising. Her neck had a brace on it, her full right arm had a cast along with her left leg, (She was covered in blankets but one leg was bigger than the other so I had to guess.)
"The doctor will be in to tell you her synopsis." The nurse said before exiting the room. All we could do was stare at her, our strong, beautiful Reyna was now banged up and vulnerable looking.
"This is all my fault," I whispered, barely audible, though it felt like a shout. "If I hadn't told her to come over this wouldn't have happened." Everyone whipped around to look at me.
"No, Annabeth, no." Bellona said, coming to wrap her warm arms around me. "Reyna asked to come over. And it wouldn't have happened if the other driver hadn't lost control of his vehicle and hit her. Unfortunately the poor man died right away. We should just be happy that we still have her."
I cried into Bella, and was soon transferred into my own mother's arms. A knock sounded at the door and an older man walked in, he had balding grey hair and a kind, slightly wrinkled face. He wore a blue dress shirt, khakis, a striped tie and a white lab coat with a stethoscope around his neck.
"Hello, I'm Doctor Norton. I'm guessing you would all like to know what happened to Reyna?" he asked, his voice soft and low. We all nodded vigorously as he set up several black and white x-rays on a light up board.
"So, when Reyna's car flipped her airbag did go off but was punctured by a fragment of broken glass that came from her window, this caused her head to bounce around and hit the roof of her car, causing the fragments of her neck to push to together and rupture two disks.
"The other driver had rammed against her car door, crushing it and causing it to hit her leg and break it. She has a couple broken ribs, her left lung collapsed and her right wrist is broken. She has a slight concussion, that will caused rather painful headaches, but other than that, she will make a slow, but full recovery." By the time the doctor had finished we all had tears running freely down our cheeks, but when he mentioned her recovery, we all breathed a sigh of relief.
"She'll be waking up in a couple hours, right now she just needs rest. If you don't mind, I have to restrict the ward to family only, just because it might stress her out to have this many people in here at once." The doctor began taking down the x-rays and turned back towards us.
"I'm not leaving her." I said fiercely, staring the doctor down.
"Annabeth, honey, you have to, the doctor knows what's best for her" My mom soothed, pulling me into a hug. I knew I had to go, but I couldn't just leave her there. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned to see Bella smiling softly at me with watery eyes.
"Go, we'll call when she wakes up." She said.
I finally relented and before leaving, rushed up to kiss my best friend's forehead gently, before allowing my mother to lead me out into the hallway with Hazel and Frank.
AN: I know what you're thinking. What in the actual fuck is going on? Let me explain. I've been missing this story so much lately. This is my most popular fanfic ever and I love it to pieces. And I reread it last week and found out that I regretted writing the college and baby bits. Because the time skip was two big and there wasn't a lot of detail or effort put into those chapters. Plus I didn't really like the idea of them having a baby. At least not yet. So I deleted all the chapters with college and pregnancies and crap and am rewriting them. Plus I didn't feel like rewriting the whole story because I love what I already have.
I know a lot of you are really going to enjoy this, because I plan on making the fanfic a lot longer and having more fun and detail along the way. However, updates may be slow because of school and having a lot of homework. But writing is my relax and unwind time after school so I may update pretty often, it all depends.
I'm so excited to do this and I hope you all enjoy this decision I've made.
Make sure to review and whatever! And to continue to continue reading this story so I can now continue to continue writing it! LOL, good times…
Lots of Love,
