Sorry guys my computer died so now I give you the new chapter!
For a half hour we drove in silence as Makena listened to her Ipod and Taylor look as though he could cry and I awkwardly stared out the window. Then some girl drove by us wearing a cooked turkey hat on her head and we all broke the silence from laughing.
"I want one of those hats to make people laugh and smile." Makena Said.
"If you find one in a store you can get one and I'll buy it for you." Taylor said to her.
I couldn't help myself from picturing what Taylor would look like in one and started cracking up at the thought. Makena asked what's so funny so I whispered it to her and she laughed. Taylor wouldn't stop asking what we were laughing so finally I told him.
"I think you should wear one of those hats Taylor!!!!!!" Makena and I started laughing all over again and Taylor joined in this time.
Before we knew we were there after naming different people that would look funnier in different styled hats. Taylor pulled the car in to the parking lot of the hospital in the way back. Makena started crying as soon as Taylor and I got out of the car. She 's never been in a hospital since she's been born Taylor whispered to me. He grabbed her out of the car and picked her up. He pretended to be strong for her but I could tell he was upset too. I grabbed the hand he wasn't using to hold Makena. He looked at me with gratefulness with tears in his eyes. I put my head on his shoulder for more comfort too.
We walked into the hospital like that until Taylor had to go the front desk. He handed me Makena who calmed a little now. I whispered comfort words to her until Taylor walked back over.
"I got the room and a nurse is going to direct us there, they'll let you in the room too Lexi even though he's in ICU."
"I'll stop in but if you don't mind I also like to visit my mom too." I said.
"Okay that's fine. Here you can give me Makena back if you want."
"I'll walk." She said but she still grabbed both our hands.
The nurse came to bring us to the room and there was a ton of hallways and turns we took there was no way I would find the way back myself. We did however pass my mother's room and my eyes teared up. I quickly yipped the tears away and kept walking. This must be another way to get to her room. We moved down five more doors and stopped at the room. The nurse knocked on the door and the parents walked out. They quickly hugged Taylor and he whispered something to them and they hugged me telling me that I have to pretend to be their daughter. Then they scooped up Makena and the dad held her and didn't put her down. The nurse took that as her cue to leave.
They warned Makena about how their grandpa looked with all the cords hooked up to him. I saw Taylor looking at the floor and moved closer to rub his shoulders a little because I knew how he felt. He grabbed my hand when we walked into the room. Makena had her dad put her down and asked her grandpa if she could go up with him on the bed. He let her climb up and she hugged him and didn't let go. Taylor dragged me over and hugged his grandpa with the arm that wasn't holding my hand.
"Taylor who's this lovely lady?" His grandpa asked. "She sure is cuter than the nurses taking care of me." That made me blush.
"Dad this is Lexi, consider her apart of the family now." Dan said.
"She's my new big sister." Makena said.
"It's look like she's Taylor's girlfriend too it's a win, win for both of you." Their Grandpa said.
"Oh stop it Frank your embarrassing Taylor and Lexi. It looks to me as though they're friends." The grandma said, "It's a pleasure to meet you Lexi I'm Catherine Dan's mom."
"The pleasure is all mine, should I call you grandma and grandpa?" I made everyone laugh when I said that.
"If you want to." Frank said.
"All right then I will. If you'll excuse me I'd like to visit my mom if that's all right with you guys and give you some time alone." I said.
They all nodded and Taylor walked me out. "If you need me I'll be five doors over okay." I told Taylor he nodded.
"Thanks for everything Lex." Then he hugged me tightly for a while until we heard someone coming down the hall.
I waited for Taylor to go back in the room and then headed to my mom's room. A nurse was in there but it was just Leslie who I usually see. She smiled at me when I walked in I could tell my mom was asleep so I won't be in there long.
"Hello Alexandra, your mother just fell asleep but I won't wale her up." Leslie said.
"I wasn't planning on it. When is her surgery scheduled?" I asked.
"Later on today I had a feeling you'd be by today. Your lilies came in earlier this morning they're really pretty Lexi."
"Thanks, lilies have always been her favorite." I responded.
"Well I'll let you be alone with her for a few minutes."
"Thank you I'll be done soon." I replied.
I sat down next to my mom and held her hand for a little bit. Then I said a prayer and kissed her on the forehead and left. I didn't want to disturb her while she slept. Leslie was coming back when I came out and she just smiled and went into he room next store. I left to the other direction to the waiting room close by. I saw Taylor and Makena there when I walked in the room.
"Hey guys." I said to them quietly.
"Hey we're just waiting for our parents to come back out then we can leave and pick up your stuff and head on home." Taylor said.
"Mom and Dad said you can stay with us forever!" Makena said.
"Okay I'll just bring what I need for now and can get the rest later." I responded.
I sat down next Taylor and he leaned his head on my shoulder and I placed my head on top of his. He had one arm around me as I held his hand. Makena sat on Taylor's lap and we watched all the nurses, doctors, and visitors walk by us. Some would stare at Taylor since he was a movie star and all and others glared at me probably over jealous but I didn't care. Then I saw people I recognized and I didn't really want to see one of them.
"Lexi, why didn't you tell us you were coming to visit your mom?" Joan said.
I looked at Robin and Jessica as they stared opened mouthed at Taylor and me. Jacob was there and he glared at the both of us. Kevin was oblivious as usual but Joan didn't miss a beat.
"I didn't exactly plan on coming here but someone in their family is sick and I had to drive them." I responded.
"So that's why you didn't come home last night. Well aren't you a good kid. I was going to see your mom before her surgery if it's not to late?" Joan replied.
"No, she might still be asleep though I might not be here when you get back we're leaving soon. Oh and I'll being picking up a few things and staying over at the Lautners' tonight."
"Okay come on Kevin the kids can wait here so we don't get in trouble for too many people in a room." Joan was making that up she just wanted to give Robin and I some time to talk.
I stood up awkwardly and pretended I wasn't just sitting with Taylor in a sort of intimate way. Robin and Jess finally shut their mouths but Jacob didn't stop glaring at Taylor. He needs to get over himself sometimes couldn't he see Taylor was crushed.
"Hey Guys why'd you come with your mom and dad to see my mom?" I asked.
"Nothing to do since you never came home. Did you sleep with Taylor and that's why you broke up with Jacob. Not that I wouldn't break up with my brother for Taylor Lautner!" Robin whispered to me.
"No, I didn't and I'll talk you later about the details this is not the right time or place to talk about that." I whispered back. I felt a tug on my jacket and turned to see Makena rubbing her eyes. She reached her hands up and I picked her up. "Makena this is my best friend Robin and her little sister Jessica, Robin, Jess this Makena."
"Hi Makena. You are just the cutest little girl I've ever seen." Robin said.
"Thank you you're pretty like Lexi." Makena said.
"Hi Makena." Jess said.
"Hi Jessica." Makena said.
"Where did Jacob go?" Robin asked us.
"I don't know." We all responded at the same time.
"Where'd Taylor go Makena?" I asked.
"To show Jacob where the soda machine is and to tell mom and dad we're leaving soon." Makena responded.
Robin and I looked at each other knowing that Taylor and Jacob would not be just getting soda.
