A/N I'm back from holiday, passed my exams, got into college and have got this chapter up! Life is good! There's quite alot of POV changes, I don't know if thats good or bad! Thanks to hennahito-ckbc, laura, sarah and emz for reviewing and UFOhelena as always for her wonderful betaing. I can't think of anything else to say except I want to say so here's chapter 11.
Andrew's POV
We walked around the nearby town for a bit and stopped at a little Italian restaurant for lunch. Justin ate seafood spaghetti and I ordered a four seasons pizza. We talked about nothing much during the meal, carefully avoiding the subject of the morning's events. We got back to the hospital for three and Justin walked up to the desk. 'Can I see my grandma now?' The woman looked him up and down, not recognising him. 'I was here this morning?' The woman nodded and recognition flickered across her face.
'Third floor right?' He nodded. 'Go on up' We asked at the nurses station for his grandma and a young nurse showed us to the private room at the end of the ward I sat just past the door and she showed Justin in. She came out a few moments later shutting the door behind her.
'She can have up to two visitors if you want to go in too.' She told me. I shook my head.
'I'm just here to-'
'Moral Support?' I nodded. 'It can be difficult for people. He's lucky to have such a good friend.
'Not really'
'Of course he is. Well there's a drink machine at the end of the corridor round the corner if you want it.' She said before heading back to her station. I sat for a few minutes before deciding to get a drink. After she'd put the idea in my head I couldn't get it out. On my way back I could see through the window in the door. Justin was sitting by the bed, he looked pretty upset. I sat back down wishing there was something to do. An old discarded magazine was on the seat next to me and I flicked through it. What seemed like ages later the door opened and Justin walked out head down straight past the Please shut all doors sign I had been staring at without looking at me, leaving the door to his grandma's room wide open.
'Justin?' I called after him. He didn't turn round I stood up to follow him. As I walked past the room I leant in to shut the wide open door. I looked up and connected with a pair of very familiar eyes, they were exactly like Justin's. Other than that she looked nothing like him. She beckoned me in. 'Sorry I was just closing the door' I said but she carried on beckoning. I stepped in towards the bed. 'Are you okay?' I asked concerned.
'Are you Andrew?'
'Yeah that's me'
'Justin is a very special lad, I hope you realise that.' Suddenly and unexplainably I was quite worried.
'Erm, yeah'
'When you're old and especially when you're dieing you don't care what people think of you.'
'Okay'
'So I don't have any problem saying this to you. Hurt him and you will regret it for the rest of your life' Was she threatening me? What could she do to me? 'I'm not going to do anything to you.' Can she mind read or something? 'I don't need to. Because Justin can only be pushed so far. If you hurt him, you'll loose him, just like his parents have. And if you do you'll never get him back and then you'll realise just how much you've lost. You won't need me to make you regret it.'
'Right' I was shocked and just a little scared. 'Well I'm gonna go and shut the door now' she nodded. And I left closing the door behind me.
Justin's POV
I stepped outside the hospital and leaned over the railings. My breathing was heavy and I struggled to hold the tears back. I knew I'd walked straight past Andrew but I didn't want him to see me like this. He saw me cry after my parents kicked me out and I'd held him while he cried for his Dad but for some reason this felt different. My grandma had said everything I had ever needed to hear from a member of my family. She told me how my Mom had argued with Dad for chucking me out, how Brooke misses me and every time she sees grandma she asks if Grandma's seen me and most importantly she told me she still loves me. She made my mom ring me, which my mom had done reluctantly as my dad didn't want her to contact me at all. A voice jerked me from my thoughts.
'Justin?' I looked up and Andrew stood there. He waited for me to speak but I couldn't. After about 30 seconds of silence he asked 'You wanna go home?' I nodded and he guided me to the car park where I unlocked the car and we set off back to my flat in silence.
Andrew's POV
Justin started talking again on the way home but he didn't seem to want talk about his family or what he'd said to his grandma to make her threaten me. We got back to his flat and went in. John was sitting there eating some chips.
'You look like shit' he said to Justin
'Cheers man' he replied
'Sorry but you look pale.'
'It's been quite a long day' I said
'You should both come to this party tonight'
'I'm not sure' Justin said uncertainly
'I'll take that as a "yeah John I'd love to come thanks for inviting Andrew and me"'
'You wanna go?' Justin asked. I nodded
'Why not?'
'Okay thanks John' he said
'My lift's in 45 minutes if you want to catch it.'
'6:00? That's quite early'
'Hey I'm not complaining about a longer party' he said placing the last chip in his mouth and standing up. 'Invite that mate of yours if you want. Kate is it?' he said to me.
'Yeah it is
'Well invite her, 26 Wellbrooke Road'
'I will do' I said. John put his plate in the sink and disappeared into his room.
Kate's POV
I got a text from Andrew at about 5:30 inviting me to a party that evening. I decided to go as I hadn't been out in weeks. My dad dropped me off at about 6:15 and I went in seeing Andrew briefly in the living room as I went to get a drink. I saw some girls from the year above me at school and started chatting to them. I hadn't spoken to Andrew all evening when at about 7:00 John, Justin's roommate, came running up to me pushing past a load of people to get to me.
'Hi John y'orite?' I asked
'Andrew needs you, he's upstairs.'
'Why what's wrong?'
'I dunno Justin's like throwing up and stuff' I went upstairs and found Andrew and Justin in the bathroom. Andrew was holding Justin over the bath where Justin was vomiting. John followed me up.
'Andrew?'
'Katie? What should we do' Justin was being very sick and the party had only just started.
'How much has he drunk?' I asked
'Not a lot, well a bit but not that much.'
'Okay, John can you get a bowl I'll get a towel we should get him in a better position.' I lay the towel out on the floor of a bedroom and John placed the bin next to it, apparently he couldn't find a bowl. We helped Justin through and propped him against the wall. The bin between his legs.
'What's wrong with him?' Andrew asked me
'Me? How should I know?'
'Your Mom's a doctor'
'Was a doctor' I corrected
'Sorry' he said
'It's okay but I'm not a doctor the most I've done is first aid courses'
'That's more than me!'
'Okay well I read my mom's books a little bit. Justin?' I asked 'How'd you feel'
'Oh great' he said sarcastically.
'Sorry, stupid question. Is anything else hurting?'
'My head hurts, my stomach keeps cramping?' He said before being sick again.
I looked at Andrew. 'It sounds like really bad period pains so far' All three boys looked at with contempt 'Sorry.' I said before I got my head bitten off. He was shivering so I felt his forehead, it was burning. 'I dunno, I really dunno' I said as Justin slid onto his side.
'I wanna lie down' he said rolling onto his back.
'Put him on his side' said John 'or he'll choke' I nodded.
'I'll put him in the recovery position.' I said as I did it. Andrew knelt behind him hand on his shoulder. When he was safe from choking I spoke. 'How much has he drunk'
'I dunno, I wasn't with him the whole time, John found him in the bathroom. He was pretty down, long story.'
'Justin? How much have you drunk tonight?' but he was too busy vomiting to answer'
