Ch. 18
*Lori's pov*
The next morning Romeo took Max and Braden to the adventure park while me and Sam went to the guild with Wendy. I walked in and Nashi waved me over to a table. At the table was Nashi, Storm, Sylvia, Rosemary, Nova, and Gale. I sat down beside Gale and began to join in on the conversation.
"Hey Lori did you hear my mom convinced my dad to have a guild dance tomorrow night?" Said Nova.
"That's pretty cool" I agreed.
"Yea she booked a really cool band, but if I'm being honest I wish she had asked you to sing." Says Nashi.
Everyone began to nod their heads until I responded. "I don't know guys, I think I like listening."
"Well whether you do or don't the night will be awesome." Said Gale putting his arm around me.
I smiled and Nashi said, "it will be so much fun. After the dance we should all go on a mission." Everyone at the table nods as Storms blue headed brother walks over.
"Hey Rosemary, can I talk to you a second." He asks.
Rosemary nods and they walk over to a table and sit by themselves. Storm looks at them and asks, "Reiki hasn't come to the guild yet has he?"
Everyone shakes their head and Storm reptiles, "good because his best friend is asking his sister out and he won't be happy."
Just then Rin and Rosemary start to walk back holding hands when Reiki hobbles into the guild hall. Reiki scans the room and everyone watches as his eyes find the their intertwined hands. "What the hell!" Screams the 13 year old.
"Oh hey Reiki, Rosemary is going to the guild dance with me. You should ask someone too or maybe I can ask them for you." Rin says looking at our table. Reiki blushes and ignores the new couple as he stomps off and sits down at the bar beside Troy.
We all laugh as they walk towards the table. They sit down and Storm asks, "so who does he like?"
"Not telling, that's his business, I just said that so he would leave us alone." Says Rin.
At that moment Gray and Juvia walk into the guild with their five year old daughter Ur, who is fast asleep in Juvia's arms and they head straight for our table, "Storm, Sylvia, Rin can you come here a second." They ask and the three siblings get up with worried looks on their faces, but just as they start to walk off, Gray turns around and looks at me, "you should come to Lori."
Now I was worried I get up and follow the crowd who walks outside of the guild. I look around and I'm surprised to see that Wendy and Sam are out here. I go and stand beside Wendy as Gray starts to speak, "Kids, me and you mom are leaving and Wendy is coming with us. I just got a call from Lyon and Chelia they were injured in a train crash."
The reaction of the Fullbuster kids were all different. Storm looked sad and covered his mouth with his hand in surprise. Rin looked really upset and Sylvia looked like she was on the verge of tears, but she broke the silence, "is Cal okay?"
Gray sighs. "He is in critical condition last I heard sweetie."
Rin started to toughen up as Sylvia began to cry and he let her cry on him, like a protective older brother.
"I wanna go," Says Sylvia.
"No honey you are going to stay here." Gray says.
"Cal is my friend dad, I want to go, please" She begs.
"I don't think it s a good idea."
"Dad I'm going ok. Cal is one of my best friends. I have to know he is ok."
Gray looks a Juvia before he speaks, "Ok you can go, but Rin you are going to stay with-"
"If Sylvia goes I'm going" says Rin.
"Rin it will be better if you stay here and help your brother." Says Juvia.
"Ok," he grumbles.
"We are not taking Ur with us, you guys are going to stay with Romeo. He is on his way here now." Says Gray.
Then Wendy looks at me and says, "I want you to help Romeo with Max and Sam." I nod.
We all know what we have to do. "Okay dad. When do you leave?" Asks Storm.
"Our train leaves in an hour, but we have to go home an pack." Says Gray.
He nods and hugs his dad. We say our goodbyes now. Storm takes Ur into his arms and hugs his dad and mom bye. Rin tells Sylvia bye, before joining the rest of his family for a group hug. I hug Wendy and so does Sam. "Be careful." I say. She nods.
Soon they are all headed to their homes to pack bags. But just as Wendy starts to walk off I see Romeo and Max run towards us. Max hugs his mom and walks toward us as Romeo gives Wendy a goodbye kiss. I hold Sam's hand and walk over to where the Fullbuster kids are. Romeo walks over and picks Sam up before speaking to us. "You guys wanna go back inside?" We all nod our heads and we walk into the guild with Romeo.
As soon as we walk in our friends surround us. "Storm what's wrong? Where's Sylvia?" Asks Nashi.
Before he can respond Rin breaks away from the huddle and walks toward the back of the guild. Rosemary starts to go follow him before Reiki appears behind her and says, "I'll go talk to him. Ok?" She nods as he walks off and everyone listens to Storm.
"Lyon and Chelia Vastia were in a train crash along with Cal." Everyone gasps as he continues to speak. "My parents were going to go along with Wendy, but Sylvia pitched a fit to go so she tagged along."
"Well I hope they are ok." Says Nashi.
"Me too." Says Rosemary.
Just then Reiki walks back in with Rin and they come over to us. "You ok?" Asks Rose.
"Yea," he says and walks over to her.
That night was different, Rin slept in Max's room; Sam slept in her room with Ur and Romeo slept on the couch so Storm could have his bed. I hoped everything was alright.
*Sylvia's pov*
When we got to the hospital my parents and I took the elevator up to see Lyon first, while Wendy went to see Chelia. When we walked into the hospital room Lyon was laying a bed with one of his legs held into the air. My mom and I stood by the door while my dad talked to Lyon. The doctor told my parents that he broke two ribs and his left leg.
"Hey Gray." Says Lyon.
"Hey Lyon how are you?" He asks walking over and sitting down in a chair beside the bed.
"Well I've been better and I'm worried sick about Chelia and Cal. The doctors won't tell me anything, just that their alive."
"Well we haven't went to see them yet," says my dad, "but when we do we will come back and tell you how they are."
"Can you do it now? I won't rest until I know they are ok."
My dad nods and then walks over to us. We leave that room and head over to the elevator again. We go down two floors before getting out and heading to Chelia's room. When we get there Wendy is sitting in a chair beside the bed. Chelia has a few scratch and a sling on her right arm.
"Hello Gray, Juvia and Sylvia." She says.
"Hi Chelia," says my mom and dad. I just wave.
"They are going to discharge me soon, then I'm going up to see Cal. How is Lyon?" She says.
"A broken leg and a few broken ribs he will be fine in the end." Says my dad.
"That's good to hear. I've been worried about him." She says.
"So has he. He asked us to come down here and check on you. We are about to head over and see Cal." Says my dad.
Chelia chuckles slightly before her face becomes somber. "I don't know how bad it is, but I know he is in ICU and that it is not good. Can you do me a favor Gray?" Says Chelia.
"Sure." Says my dad as he walks over to her.
She starts to cry as she speaks. "Remind him that me and Lyon love him and we can't live this life without him."
My dad nods as Wendy begins to comfort her best friend. My dad motions for us to leave and when we get in the hall he turns to me, "Sylvia, we are about to go see Cal and I am not sure they will let you in because you are thirteen. The only reason your mom and i can get in is because I am Cal's godfather and Wendy is his godmother. Now if they do not let you in. I don't want you to make a fuss about it, that's the main reason we didn't want to bring you, so do not complain. Do you understand?" Say my dad.
I nod. I came all this way and I might not even be able to see him. We head straight to the elevator and go up to the very top floor, the 8th floor. We exit the elevator at a waiting room and walk down a long hall and stop at two big brown double doors. My dad presses a button and a nurse comes to the door. "Who are you here to see?"
"My godson, Cal Vastia." Says my dad.
The nurse looks at me and says, "she must be at least 13 to enter."
"She is," says my mom and she pulls a card out of her purse and hands it to the nurse.
The nurse looks at the card for a second and hands it back to my mom before replying, "follow me." The door opens and we follow her to a nurse's desk, where she types stuff into a machine before looking at us and saying, "he is in room 822, but you should speak to the doctor first."
"Why?" Asks my dad.
"He will tell you what is wrong with him." Says the nurse as a brown-haired man walks up.
"You must be Cal Vastia's godfather. His condition is critical. He had to be cut from the train and went into surgery immediately after his arrival. Now in surgery we had to amputate his left leg from the knee down and he also had a punctured lung. He broke 4 ribs, his jaw, and his right wrist. He is still unconscious in a coma and we are not sure, when or if he will wake up. I do want to encourage you to talk to him, they say coma patients can hear you." Says the doctor.
"Thank you for the information doctor." Said my dad as we walked past the doctor and headed to Cal's room. When we walked in I wanted to walk right back out, he didn't look like Cal he was to stiff. Cal is tall with spiky white hair and blue eyes. Looking at him in the hospital bed he looked weird.
My dad walked up to him with tears in his eyes and began to speak. "Hey buddy, it is your uncle Gray. Your mom and dad wanted me to tell you that they love you and they can't imagine their life without you. I wish thas hadn't happened to you, I just want you to be that fun loving kid that drives me nuts whenever he visits. I'm gonna let Sylvia talk to you now cause I know she wants to.
My dad gets out of his chair and I take his place, "Hey Cal, I don't really know what to say, but here goes nothing. You are one of my best friends and I need you in my life." I looked at my dad and smiled, what I was about to say is a secret between me and Cal, but I need to say it. "I was so happy when you called me 2 months ago and said you would be visiting my family for your birthday, but what made me the most happy about that phone call was when you asked me to be your girl friend. I know we had planned to tell my parents and ours when you visited next week, but I can't keep this secret any longer, not when you're in a hospital bed on the verge of dying." I grab his hand that is lying on top of the covers. "I can't lose you. I know I'm only thirteen and nobody will believe me, but I love you Cal. I have known you for 13 years we now everything about each other. I need my best friend. Please don't leave me." I start to cry uncontrollably and I get up and walk into the hallway. My dad follows me.
"Sylvia Mika Fullbuster!" Yells my dad.
"Dad I'm sorry ok, we were going to tell you honest, but then this happened. Ok. Me and Cal thought it was best to tell you together face to face. Not even Rin knows. I just didn't think something like this would happen."
My dad's face softens and he pulls me into his arms and I cry into his shoulder. Five minutes later, my mom comes out of the room and says, "Gray come here."
My ad lets me go and I follow him into the room. My mom points at Cal's hand I see one of his fingers curl and then uncurl.
"I'll go get a nurse," says my dad as he runs out of the room and into the hall to get a nurse.
I run over and sit down beside him as a nurse comes in and begins to check his vitals. "He should wake up soon," she says before leaving.
Thirty minutes later, Chelia is sitting beside him, next to her is her cousin Sherry and her husband Ren, against the wall is my dad, and me and my mom are in front of the bed on a bench. Nobody has discussed what I said to Cal only my mom and dad know. Just then he opens his eyes and looks around the room, "Mom, where am I? And why is everyone here?"
"You don't remember sweetie. There was a train crash and the doctors didn't think you would live." Says Cal's mom.
"Mom I have two questions. One where is dad and is he ok? And two, why can I only feel half of my left leg?" He asks.
"Your dad is fine he broke his leg and can't leave the bed." She says.
"Oh ok and what about my leg mom? Why can't I feel half of it?"
Tears welled up in her eyes as she told her son, "they had to amputate half of your left leg."
"Really?" He asked.
She nodded and he looked really upset, but then he smiled and said, "I guess now I can be a peg leg pirate."
Everyone in the room busted out laughing, my dd laughed so hard that he started snorting. Once she gained her composure his mom spoke, "I guess you can honey."
She smiled at her son before glancing at her watch and standing up, "Your dad wanted me to come see him after you woke up, so I'm going down there with your aunt Sherry, Uncle Ren, and Aunt Wendy ok?"
He nodded and they left. Once they were gone I stole Chelia's seat and he turns to look at me and whispers, "Hey, I got a question for you. I had this weird dream that you told your parents about us and said you loved me."
"That wasn't a dream," I say and my dad leaves the room with my mom. "They said we will discuss it later and we haven't told your parents."
He smiles before replying, "Well that's good. You know something else?"
"What?" I say.
"I love you two," then his lips smash into mine and I return the unexpected kiss. We pull away for air and just start talking about random stuff. I'm really glad he is ok.
