Chapter 21: Potentially Hypothermic
Kelsey
The phone sound that indicated no one was answering rang for the ninth time, making me to give up on the call. Once I put the phone down the hospital room went silence again and the only thing we could hear was our breath and heartbeats.
"Malia isn't answering." Nor did Lydia or Stiles. "I'm running out of battery. Maybe we should just call Scott. "
Liam's heart started beating faster.
"I don't think he would answer." His words were too nervous. We stared into each other's eyes for a few seconds, realizing we didn't know what we were going to do. I was exhausted. These past days had been really tiring and I just wanted to go home and rest.
I looked down to my feet and closed my eyes while taking a deep breath. I felt Liam's arms wrapping around me as he pulled me close to him and hugged me. I buried my face on his chest inhaling his scent and enjoying his presence. I loved him so much. I didn't want to pull away from him ever again. But I knew something would eventually come between us.
It had been about half an hour since we heard Scott's roar and we hadn't move yet. No one was answering the phone and I was starting to really worry. I just wanted everything to be normal again.
Liam pulled away and I looked up at him. He knew how I felt, he could feel it too. He kissed my forehead and then looked down at my hands, he held the one that was holding my phone. He looked into my eyes again and bit his bottom lip.
"Call Scott." He simply said. "If it will make you feel better."
"Okay." I knew it wouldn't make me feel better. If Scott answered he wouldn't tell me everything is all right and we're all safe. If someone answered it would only tell us bad news.
I was about to press on Scott's contact to call him when the phone started ringing. It was an unknown number and I looked up at Liam for a second before looking back down at my phone.
"Hello." I picked it up.
"Kelsey." A masculine voice talked from the other side. I recognized instantly.
"Parrish? How did you get my number?"
"That doesn't matter right now. Kelsey, listen, you need to go to the hospital." Well, that's pretty easy, we were already in the hospital.
"Sure but why, Parrish?"
"It's-" I put my phone down when Parrish stopped talking. I looked at the black screen and sighed as I realized it had run out of battery.
"What happened?" Liam asked as I put my phone back in my pocket.
"I don't know, he couldn't tell me." I told him looking to the room door. "Do you know how to get to the normal hospital from here?"
"No, we would need to go outside and go in through the main entrance."
"Well, let's go then." We walked through the halls until we were out of that hospital zone. We walked round the hospital to the main entrance but once we were almost there, Liam stopped.
He was staring at a police car and his heartbeat had rose.
"Liam?"
"Who's gonna tell her?" He said without looking at me.
"Tell who? Tell what?" I got closer to him.
"Hayden's sister." He finally looked at me, with watery eyes. "Someone's got to tell her about Hayden."
"Yeah, somebody has to, but not right now." I told him knowing what he was thinking. "And somebody doesn't have to be you. All right, especially looking like this. I mean, what if they think you killed her?"
"Maybe I did." He looked away from me as more tears formed in his eyes.
"Liam." I placed my hand on his cheek and caress it. "You didn't. And while the last few hours haven't been your best, this isn't the way to fix it." A small tear rolled down his cheek and I wiped it off before he could even lift his arm to wipe it with the back of his hand. "She's going to find out, and it's not gonna hurt any less coming from you." He sadly nodded but quickly raised his head in surprise. "What?"
"It's Hayden." He said with an accelerated pulse. "It's her scent. She's here."
"Liam, you held her body in your arms." I said as he looked for her behind me. "You-you watched Parrish carry her out of the hospital. We both did." He looked at me and his heart skipped a beat. "She's gone."
I felt really bad for reminding him that, but he needs to realize. He needs to understand. And I know he was thinking to go and tell Val about Hayden right now.
"Come on." I held his hand. "Let's go."

"I don't know why Parrish told me to get here." I sighed as I leaned on the wall behind me. Liam was silence all the time, and I was as tired as him so I didn't talk either. I looked at the clock, we had been here for five minutes and there was no sight of Parrish. I was about to ask Liam for his phone to text anyone so we could get a clue about what is going on, when someone came in the hospital.
"Help! Get someone to help me." He yelled. "Quick. I need help." Parrish yelled. "I've got an 18-year-old female, potentially hypothermic."
I got disorientated when I heard his last words. I looked for him, begging he wasn't talking about Lydia.
I saw them. The nurses placing Lydia's body on a gurney. I saw them taking my sister away. I saw her face. Her pale, motionless, expressionless face, looking just like she was dead. And maybe it was too late. Maybe she was dead.
I couldn't feel my legs but I started running. I felt like they were going to fail me and I was going to fall.
"Lydia..." I couldn't hear my own voice. "Lydia. Lydia!" The distance between us was growing with every second. "No! Lydia!" I felt someone holding me back. They were taking my sister away. "Let me Go! Lydia!"
I managed to get away from Parrish but she was already gone. "What happened to her?"
"Kelsey, please calm down." Liam said getting closer to me.
"No! I need to go with Lydia." I knew tears were falling down my face.
"We don't know what happened to her, okay? But she's going to be alright." Parrish calmly said. "They are going to test her now, you'll see her soon."
"Kelsey, please." Liam knew I wasn't calming down. "Stay."
-
Time was passing by and I hadn't heard anything from Lydia. We had been waiting in the hallway for a long time. Liam was sitting on a chair and I was sitting on him. He was holding my hands because they were too shaky and I felt really thankful for that.
"Kelsey." I heard Stiles and I immediately searched for him. We walked towards me and I quickly hugged him.
"I heard about your dad." I said into his chest.
"I heard about Lydia." He replied and we pulled away. "Your mother is here and you can visit Lydia now."
I didn't answer I just nodded and followed him. I thought Liam was following us, but I was wrong. He stayed on the chair, with no expression on his face.
"Everything's going to be all right, Lydia." I heard mom talking to her from outside the hospital room. "We're going to get you the best medical care. The best doctors. The best everything."
The door wasn't fully closed and I pushed it to get in. Mom turned to us and got up from her seat next to Lydia.
"No." She said looking at Stiles. "No, you don't. You're not coming in here."
"Mom..."
"Get out!" She ignored me.
"Just wait, wait." Stiles tried to get closer to Lydia but mom blocked him. "I think I know who did this, okay. I just need to look at the back of her neck."
"I know who did this." She her tone was raising. "You." She pushed Stiles. "All of you!" She pushed him again.
"Mom!" I tried to call her attention as tears formed in my eyes.
"Get out!"
"Mom, please." She looked at me like she hadn't ever seen me. Like she didn't know me.
"You just gotta listen to me." Stiles insisted. "You just gotta check the back"
"Just get out!" She pushed Stiles out of the room and kept ignoring me.
"Just check the back of her neck."
"Out!"
She closed the door right in front of us. I just stood there, in shock, and looked at Stiles. I couldn't believe what had just happen. How could my own mother look to me like that? How could she?
I never broke eye contact with Stiles.
We were standing there, hurt and in shock by my mother's words.
