Chapter 19: Trip to the hospital.
She drops his hand and runs straight over to the ambulance.
"They are over here," she yells as she points to where Toby is standing.
"We will be over there in a sec. Just have to get out our equipment. Wait over there please miss?" Asks one of the paramedics as he points back over to Toby.
Stormy nods and leaves them to get out there equipment. She walks back over towards Toby, wraps her arm around his waist and lays her wet face on his shoulder. The perks of being the same height as a guy, she thinks.
"Everything will be fine," whispers Toby in to her ear as he leans down to kiss her on the forehead.
How does he know everything will be fine? He doesn't know that, as she squeezes around him. He wraps his arms around her and pulls her in close as he tilts her face up to his. She knows exactly what is going to happen next, she leans up to him and kisses him. His lips feel so soft and sweet against her tear streamed lips. She can feel him push into the kiss and she just smiles in the kiss. I feel so safe in his arms, it's like he is the part of me that I have been missing. He makes me feel whole again, as she pulls away from him. She adverts her eyes back to the paramedics who are now over near Seth and Tera.
One of the paramedics examines Seth, while the other looks over Tera. Toby releases Stormy from his arms and wanders over to Seth.
"Do you know his name?" Asks the paramedic.
"Seth Arnold. He is 19."
"I will be right back. I need to call for another ambulance. Hold his neck like this," says the paramedic as he shows him how to hold Seth's neck. Toby nods and gets down on to the ground and hold's his best friend's neck.
Stormy reaches the other paramedic and watches her wide eyed.
"Miss, do you know the name of this girl?" Asks the paramedic examining Tera.
"She is my twin sister, Tera Montgomery."
"How old is she?" Inquires the paramedic.
"18 years old. Will she be okay?" she cries.
"Miss, it is too hard to tell now but we have to get her to the hospital soon," responds the paramedic as he gets up and walks over to the ambulance.
"Toby, how is Seth?" as she looks over at him.
"He is fine. They are getting another ambulance; it should be here any minute. Chuck me your car keys, I will drive to the hospital after they take both of them to the hospital," as he smiles towards her.
His smile makes my heart melt, as she looks back down at her sister.
"The keys are still in the car," responds Stormy.
Toby nods and focuses his eyes on the hill, where he could see the next ambulance coming. The new ambulance pulls up right in front of the other one, the paramedics direct the other paramedics over towards Seth.
"You can let go now son. We can take it from here," says one of the new paramedics as he places a neck brace around Seth's neck.
Toby smiles and walks over to towards Stormy where she is watching the paramedics place Tera on a gurney.
"Go with them," as he kisses her lips quickly.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure. Go with your sister. I will meet you at the hospital," as he pushes her closer to the ambulance.
"Thank you," as she kisses him on the cheek.
She walks over to the ambulance and asks, "Can I sit in the back with my sister please?"
"Sure you can miss," smiles the paramedic as he ushers her into the ambulance.
Toby watches her get in the ambulance, as he turns around and sees the other ambulance taking Seth to the hospital. He dashes to her car and speeds off towards the hospital.
Stormy watches as they rush her sister through the hospital, she gets made to wait in the waiting room. She looks around to try and find Toby. He must not have arrived yet or he could be trying to find a car park, she thinks as she waits for any news.
"Excuse me, do you know any news on Tera Montgomery?" she asks to the main information desk in the emergency room.
The lady behind the glass window types vigorously and looks up at her, "I'm so sorry miss, but there is no updates. All I can tell you is that she has been sent for X-rays."
"Thanks," she cries, as she takes a seat in the first row of seats.
She turns her head to look out the emergency room doors and notices someone running down the car park. She could spot that face from anywhere and smiles.
"Stormy, any news?" Yells Toby as he runs inside.
"No."
"It will be alright," he huffs as he chucks his arm around her.
"I just want to know if she is okay," as she rests her blotchy tear streamed face on his already wet shoulder.
"You will find out soon. Just let the doctors check her over," as he lays his head atop of hers and grabs her hand. He intertwines his fingers around her fingers and squeezes lightly.
Time passes and Stormy wakes up on his shoulder. "Oh shit. I feel asleep," as she sits up and looks at the big round clock on the wall. It reads that it was 12.30am.
She shakes Toby to make him wake up, "Toby, we have been asleep for an hour."
"Oh crap, really?" as he looks up at the clock.
"Yes. I better ask about Tera," as she gets up.
"Hello, any news on Tera Montgomery or Seth Arnold?" Asks Stormy.
"Yes. Seth Arnold is ready to be discharged and Tera has been placed into a room," responds the nice lady behind the glass window.
"May we please go and see Tera? She is my sister," pleads Stormy.
"Yes you may but who is he?" asked the lady.
"I'm Seth's best friend and I can take him home now if that is allowed."
The lady nods, "When you walk through, go down to the desk and ask there," as she buzzes them through.
Toby holds Stormy's hand as they walk through to the desk inside the emergency department.
"Hi there, are you allowed to be here?" Demands the lady behind the desk.
"Oh yes. I'm here to see my sister, Tera Montgomery and he is here to take Seth Arnold home," responds Stormy.
"Yes, Tera is in that room over there and I will get one of the other nurse's to get Mr Arnold for you," responds the lady as she points to where Tera is.
Stormy starts to walk over towards the room where her sister is but Toby stops her, "Here is Tera's glasses and phone," as he hands them to her.
"Thanks," as she walks into her sister's hospital room. She looks at Tera lying, there with drips hanging from her arms and a massive bandage wrapped around her leg.
Toby stands at the entrances and watches Stormy standing there, "Will you be okay?"
"I will be fine. Take Seth home and I will see you tomorrow."
Toby gives her a quick peck on the lips and walks out to find Seth.
She places Tera's phone and glasses on the side table and stares at her sister.
"Tera, what you done with yourself," as she take a seat down next to the bed. She grabs her sister's hand and squeezes it to let her sister know that she is there with her. Tera squeezes her hand back but doesn't wake up. "Tera, please open your eyes. I want to see your beautiful green eyes again," as she lays her head down on the bed.
"What a night we have had," she cries.
"Stormy, I'm so sorry about this. I wish that was me on the bed right now," announces Seth as he walks into the room.
She lifts her head up to see Seth standing at the end of the bed with his arm in a black cast and shoulder sling. I wish this were you too. Not my only family member in Australia. You should be lying there, not standing up with just a broken arm and collarbone. You lucky piece of shit. I warned you not to hurt my sister, and what did you do? You put her in hospital. I can never forgive you, she thinks as she stares at him with her dark purple eyes.
"I'm so so sorry. Say something to me."
"What happened?"
"I don't know. We were driving and then everything went black. I am truly sorry," pleads Seth as he begins to cry.
"I don't want to hear your apology."
"I'm sorry," cries Seth as he grabs Tera's hand.
"JUST GET OUT!" Yells Stormy as she points out of the room.
Seth leans down and kisses Tera on the forehead. He whispers in her ear quickly, "I'm so sorry baby."
"GET OUT!"
Seth hurries out of the room and leaves Stormy alone with her sister. She places her head back down on the bed and cries into the blanket.
She can hear someone walk into the room and yells, "I told you to leave."
"I'm sorry miss. I will leave now."
Stormy lifts her head back up and notices that it was a doctor, who was in the room.
"Sorry, don't leave. I thought you were someone else. Doctor, what's wrong with my sister?"
"Miss Montgomery, your sister has suffered quite a bump to her head and has a fair amount of blood loss," replies the doctor.
"Will she be okay?"
"Your sister will recover. But she has to stay overnight, just so we can monitor her," announces the doctor.
Stormy looks at her sister lying innocently on the bed, "Thank you doctor. I mean it, thanks for helping my sister."
"That's my job. I better leave you to spend some alone time with your sister," as he leaves the room.
Stormy watches him walk out of the room and lays her head back down on the bed next to her sister's hand.
Stormy starts to cry on the bed and remember about all the times when their mother would be the one watching over them when they were in bed sick.
"Tera, I nearly lost you tonight. I don't know what I would have done if I lose you," as she lifts her head back up.
She looks so peaceful like this, she thinks as she notices Tera's phone vibrating on the table. She picks up the phone; looked at the number and realises she doesn't know the number.
Stormy answers the phone and the person on the other end says, "Baby, all I want is to be with you and only you. I will leave Miranda for you. You are the one I want to spend the rest of my days with. Tera, baby, please say something. Tell me, you will be my mine?"
