Chapter Eight

Alyssa

We left the house and I drove us to the hospital. Trinity explained what the person on the phone told her. After that it was a silent ride there. We parked the car and ran to the desk in the ER.

“Can I help you?” the nurse asked.

“We were told Wade Robson was here. He’s her boyfriend.” I said for Trinity.

“Oh yes. The doctor will be with you in a few minutes.” She said.

We nodded and went over to the waiting area. Trinity was trying her best to hold back tears and I tried to make her feel better.

“Trin, we should probably try to call the guys. They will want to be here to see him.” I said.

Trinity nodded and I went over to the pay phone. I called everyone but the only person I could get a hold of was Justin.

“Trin, Justin is on his way.” I said sitting next to her again.

“What about everyone else?” she asked.

“They didn’t answer their phones.” I replied.

We were silent again for some time and Justin finally came.

“What’s going on?” Justin asked giving Trinity a hug.

“The doctor is supposed to be coming to talk to her in a few minutes.” I said.

“It’s all my fault!” Trinity finally said.

“What?!” Justin and I both said.

“This never would have happened if we didn’t have that fight. I shouldn’t have said those things to him. It’s all my fault.” Trinity said now crying.

“Don’t say that Trin. It was an accident, it wasn’t anyone’s fault.” I said.

Justin tried to comfort her with a hug but she shrugged him off and cried into her hands. A few moments later the doctor came out.

“Ms. Alexander?” he asked.

“Yes.” Trinity said looking up and wiping her face.

“You can come see him now. I’ll explain what happened on the way.” The doctor said leading Trinity down the hall.

Justin and I were left in the waiting room.

“What did she mean when she said it was all her fault?” Justin asked.

“She and Wade got in a fight about how he’d be in California on their anniversary.” I said.

“Oh. I tried calling JC but he never has his phone on when he’s in the studio.” Justin said.

“Where is everyone else? They didn’t answer their phones either.” I said.

Justin shrugged. We waited for what seemed like an eternity before Trin finally came back.

“Well?” I asked getting up and walking towards her.

“He’s okay.” She said slowly.

“Did they say what happened?” Justin asked coming up to her.

“They aren’t sure, but they believe he swerved off the road to avoid hitting something. He didn’t break anything but he’s banged up. And he’s unconscious, they guessed that the car flipped. There’s a huge crack in the driver’s window.” Trinity said.

“He’s tough, he’ll be okay.” Justin said hugging Trinity.

“Yeah, I’m sure he’ll be awake and ready to choreograph someone in no time.” I said.

Trinity nodded and we decided to go to the cafeteria to get some food. While we were eating Justin’ cell phone rang. It was JC. Justin told him what was going on and asked where the guys were.

“Oh figures, well try to track them down and tell them what’s going on.” He said.

Justin hung up and informed us that Joey, Lance, and Chris were out at a club. About an hour later the guys arrived and everyone was talking frantically. The day had now passed into night and all of us were getting tired. Trinity said she wanted to stay in case Wade woke up. I decided to stay with her to keep her company. The rest of the gang decided to go back home and asked for a call as soon as we knew anything. Before he left Justin pulled me off to the side.

“I’ve been meaning to ask you something.” Justin started.

‘What a great time to start hitting on me again.’ I thought.

“How did your art project go?” he asked.

“Oh, great. My project is going to be in the show in two weeks.” I said.

I completely forgot about it in all this commotion.

“That’s wonderful. You’re going to let me come see it, right?” he asked.

“Of course. If it wasn’t for you I never would have had a project to be graded.” I said.

Justin then said he was going to go and hugged me good-bye. I walked back over to Trinity, who was leaning her head against the wall trying to sleep. I sat next to her and in my thoughts before I fell asleep I prayed that Wade would be okay and wake up soon.
