Chapter 4- coma
Carlos's P.O.V
After the Doctor was called in to Lexi's room tears welled up in my eyes. I had known Lexi for 12 years and nothing like this had ever happened to her except the time she broke her leg. Lexi was one of my best friends and if something happened to her I would never forgive myself. James was an emotional reek. I had never seen him like this before. Mrs. Dupree came right after the Doctor left. Mrs. Knight and Katie came with her for support. Mrs. Knight was comforting James while Katie was sitting with Kendall and Logan trying not to cry herself. I never truly understood how much someone could be loved until something happened to them. Hours went by and still there was no word on Lexi's condition. Soon Doctor Johnson entered the waiting room. Mrs. Dupree walked out of the room with him. She returned moments later shaking her head while tears fell to the ground. Mrs. Knight quickly got up and pulled Mrs. Dupree into a hug and helped her to the couch. James got up and joined me on the other couch. "What's wrong with lexi ", asked Katie? "Sweetie she's in a coma", cried Mrs. Dupree. I started to cry. The Doctor told us we could go in and sit with her. James I said do you want to go in with me and he turned his back to me and shook his head no. Kendall volunteered to go with me.
Kendall's P.O.V
Carlos and I stood at room 252. We were both nervous but I put my brave face on and entered the room. Lexi looked so fragile lying in the hospital bed surrounded by wires and machines. Carlos and I both grabbed two folding chairs form the corner and placed them on in between Lexi's bed. I felt sadder than ever than Carlos started to talk to her. "Lexi you're a strong kid you will get better because right now James is falling apart actually we all are ", he said trying to fight back the tears that were in his eyes. I had a feeling I could cheer Carlos up and make Lexi better even though she was in a coma. Hey Carlos remember that time when you me and Logan and James had gotten the chicken pox and we didn't know it until your mom saw the red dots I asked smiling. "Yup and somehow Lexi caught it and we all were sick in bed for five days and when we were finally better we went outside and Lexi started chasing us said Carlos trying not to laugh. " yeah and she caught Logan and threw water balloons at him I said trying not to laugh as well. We were laughing so hard we didn't hear someone knocking on the door until Logan and Katie poked their heads in. "what are you two laughing at ", asked Logan confused? We were just remembering the time we had that epic water balloon fight when we were 6 I replied wiping the tears from my eyes. "That was fun until Lexi tied the three of us to a tree and threw 11 more at us said Logan trying not to smile. Where's James I asked. Your mom took him home he was complaining he wasn't feeling good he left about 15 minutes ago said Logan. I felt bad for James he was not coping well he was blaming himself for what happened. Suddenly my phone started to buzz and it was a text from Jo.
JO: hang in there Kendall the girls and I are on a plane right now heading to LAX airport. I'll call you when we land that way we can all be together to support Lex. XO- Jo
After I read the message I told Carlos and Logan. Both boys were excited but it soon faded when we all looked at Lexi. Soon it was time for me and Carlos to leave so Logan and Katie could sit with Lex. Carlos and I kissed Lexi's hands and told her to be strong. I didn't realize how much she meant to me as a friend and I felt as though I hadn't been a good friend to her at all. She and I weren't close but we were best friends. The only thing we had in common was the fact that we both liked hockey. Every time she went to one of our games she came very close of getting kicked out of the arena for yelling at people who made fun of us. Lexi had made signs that had read Go guys. I hoped when she got better I would take her a hockey game. I couldn't help but realize that Lexi was the glue that held us all together and I wanted all of us to stick together for Lexi's sake. She needed all of us and we were going to be there. But I was worried about James. Lexi needed him too and I knew he was blaming himself for what happened.
