Chapter Four: Unexpected

xoxoxo

Torrie's head turned; her eyes soon widening as Lisa ran into the house with tears streaming down her face. "What's wrong?" She exchanged worried looks with Candice. "Lise?"

"It's Tyson… He got in an accident. The police said he lost control of the brakes and he hit a post." The raven haired woman replied, hating the helpless feeling she had at the moment. Once she found out about the accident, she quickly rushed to Torrie's house, knowing that Dawn, Candice, Amy and Randy were there. I need to go to the hospital now.

"I thought…" Dawn shook her head, opting not to continue what she was supposed to say. She knew that Lisa had always found Tyson as very annoying. It surprised her to some extent that her friend was worried about the man she always called as the most irritating person in the world. "C'mon, let's go to the hospital."

Candice had her phone in hand, ready to inform the others about the accident. "Do you know which hospital did they bring him to?" Lisa nodded. The group soon left the blonde woman's house; Randy offering to drive them to the hospital. Dawn came to a conclusion about Lisa and Tyson as she sat silently inside the car.

The old saying is true. The more you hate, the more you love.

xoxoxo

Jackie sat on her bench in the park, hardly able to keep still. She was waiting – rather impatiently – for a certain blonde man, who agreed to meet up with her again after they met each other. It wasn't that she 

had been waiting for a long time. It was just she wanted to see him already. There was no doubt that she liked Charlie… a lot. He was a very nice, funny and friendly gentleman who can sing and play the guitar well. What more she could ask for? Her problem about her feelings was the same old problem she had with the previous guys she liked. She didn't know if Charlie liked her, too. Of course she hoped he did but it was too early to say.

"Hey!" Charlie's voice snapped her out of her thoughts. "I'm really sorry. Did I keep you waiting for a long time?"

She shook her head. "I just arrived actually."

"That's good to hear." His voice sounded relieved. "I have an idea. I know this great coffee shop and I really want to show it to you. Do you mind if we go there?"

The blonde woman smiled widely. "I'd love that."

xoxoxo

"Sweetie, keep breathing." Amy reminded her friend, who was too tense at the moment. "Tyson will be fine."

"I really hope he'll be fine." She let out a shaky sigh.

Randy smiled reassuringly. "From what you told us about him? I'm pretty sure he'll fight for his life so that he could continue annoying the hell out of you."

Lisa managed to roll her eyes at him. She appreciated the fact that her friends were there for her but there was something bothering her. She actually cared for the man that she had always got pissed at. Pushing those thoughts to the back of her mind for the meantime, the raven haired woman continued to pray for Tyson's safety.

Meanwhile, Candice and Dawn were talking about other things to keep them preoccupied as they waited for the news. "Guess what I heard?" The older of the two grinned.

"What?" Candice arched an eyebrow in interest. "Is it something good?"

"Duh." She rolled her eyes good naturedly. "Chris and his band are playing in a bar nearby."

Her hazel eyes widened. "Are you serious?"

Dawn nodded. "I heard they're playing in two days."

"We have to watch!" A squeal escaped her lips. She was definitely very happy about it. "Please?!"

"Of course, we'll watch." Dawn fell silent when she heard her stomach grumble. "I'm hungry."

Candice turned her attention to Amy, Randy and Lisa. "Do you guys want anything? Dawn and I are getting some food."

"Anything is fine with me." Lisa replied. Her eyes were still locked on the doors leading to the emergency room.

"Same here." Amy and Randy said in unison. The two brunettes nodded before they left.

xoxoxo

"Lils?"

The blonde woman looked up from the book she was reading. "Hey! You're awake."

"Well, damn." Dave groaned. Earlier that day, he invited her over to his house to hang out and watch some movies. He couldn't believe that he fell asleep. "I'm sorry about that."

"No, it's okay. You looked like you needed sleep anyways." She chuckled softly. "You looked tired awhile ago."

"I did a lot of things yesterday. Nothing big though." He smiled apologetically. "I have to make it up to you. I shouldn't have fallen asleep."

Lilian shook her head. "We can just stay here, watch more movies and eat." Her phone began to ring as the words left her mouth. It was a message from Amy. "No, scratch that. Can you drive me to the hospital? Tyson, Lisa's 'enemy', got into an accident."

Dave's jaw dropped, catching her by surprise. "Tyson?"

"You know him?" She asked.

He nodded as he stood up. "I see him the gym sometimes. He told me he goes to two different gyms when he works out."

"Lemme guess… The other gym is where Lisa goes to." Lilian said almost to herself.

The pair soon left the house to visit Tyson in the hospital.

xoxoxo

"Jay, relax. I'll be fine." Jeff rolled his eyes at his friend. "This isn't the first time I got in an accident."

"You might've messed up your arm when you fell earlier and you're telling me to relax?" Jason frowned as he remembered how their basketball game ended. After Jeff shot the ball, he fell and landed badly on his right arm. "You make me seem like I'm a friend who doesn't care."

Matt laughed. "No, you're wrong. You seem like our mom, actually."

He stuck his tongue out in the most mature way possible. "C'mon, let's get you some help." The three men passed by the hospital's cafeteria, failing to notice a pair of brunettes on their way out.

"We should hurry up. I bet they're hungry." Dawn gestured to the food she was bringing. "Ames said Lilian and Dave are on their way."

"Dave?" Candice repeated.

She shrugged slightly as they headed back to the waiting room. "Lilian and Ames told me stuff about him. He's Randy's friend."

Back in the waiting area, Amy, Lisa and Randy still had no news about Tyson's condition. That fact didn't help Lisa at all. She did feel better though when Stacy and Drew and Stephanie and Paul came. Both couples just came from their respective dates. "Any news yet?" Paul asked.

"Nope." Lisa sighed.

Stephanie sat down beside Amy. "This hospital's pretty full tonight. On our way here, we saw three guys on their way to the X-ray room. I think the other one broke his arm or something."

"I thought you hate Tyson. Why did you care for him all of a sudden?" Stacy said jokingly as she playfully nudged Lisa's side with her elbow.

"Stace…" The raven haired woman didn't bother to continue when the door of the emergency room finally swung open. A bald doctor came out and approached them.

He raised an eyebrow. "Tyson Tomko?"

"How is he?" Lisa asked; her hands clasped together.

"Well…"
