MNL-Chapter 23

Chapter 23

                The doctor pulled us aside and with a smile on his face he said. “Mason is going to be okay. He has a broken leg and a couple of scrapes and bruises. We looked for signs of internal bleeding, but he wasn’t. He will get better in a while. He will have to be out of school for at least a couple of weeks. He will be on crutches for a while.”

                I was happy that he was okay. It was still my fault that he got hit. I wasn’t crying as much, but Alex still had his arms around me. I was still really upset. My Mom pulled me into a hug and told me it would be alright. I knew it would be okay. I just think Mason was going to hate me. I didn’t want to lose the bond with my little brother. He is very important to me.

                “Can we see him?” My dad asked the doctor. The doctor gestured for us to follow him. Mason was sleeping when we got in. I know they gave him pain medication. Boy does that pain medication make you sleepy. I would know though because I had a broken bone or two before. This would be Mason’s first. I hated to see Mason in this hospital room. The doctor was able to wake him up. “Mason, you have some visitors to see you.”

                Mason opened his eyes and when we saw Mom and Dad he smiled. I was hiding behind Alex because I didn’t want Mason to see me right away. He was looking for me I knew. I just stepped out of the shadows. I was down in the dumps as you could tell. Mason looked at me and he frowned. I knew he hated that I was really upset. He reached out for my hand and I grabbed his. He squeezed my hand again. “Sis, it’s okay. This is not your fault. It’s Jonathon’s fault for not paying attention to where he was going. He should know better than to be looking down when he needs to be paying attention to the road. You’re ex is really idiotic. I hate him as much as you do. Mommy, I’m so tired. Daddy, I am happy you could make it.”

                “Go to sleep, honey. We will be here when you wake up. It is still really early. I know visiting hours don’t end for a while we have some time.” Mom said and kissed him on the cheek. Dad smiled, but he was still upset.

                “I want to go home. It’s my fault he got hurt.” I said and ran out of the room. Alex ran after me and caught me.

                “Mason is going to be really upset if you leave. He loves you, Aubrey. He started to cry when he knew you wanted to leave. Please stay for him.” Alex said kissing me on the cheek. I was crying again and it wasn’t feeling better.

                “I just wish it was me that got hit instead of him. I just wish I could protect my little brother. I wish I hadn’t frozen up when I saw the car heading for me. I am a terrible older sister. I want to be here for him, but I can’t knowing that I did something wrong.” I said looking down at the floor. Tears were flooding into my eyes. It was not fun to be in this position. I know I should go back because I don’t want Mason to cry, but I don’t want to cry in front of Mason. I loved him with all my heart.

                I just decided to walk back with Alex. He was squeezing my hand to let me know he was here. I know I could count on Alex when I need him. “You need to be strong for your brother. I know it’s painful to see him like that. He doesn’t want you to blame yourself.”

                I went back into the room. I was still crying a little bit. I knew that on Monday there was going to be some drama. I knew Jonathon would come near me. I am thinking about asking Dad and Mom to get a restraining order against him.

                “Aubrey, you came back!” Mason exclaimed when he saw me. I wiped his tears from his eyes. I kissed him on the forehead.

                “I promise not to leave again. I love you so much.” I said.

                “I love you too, Aubrey.” He was smiling again. I hated to make him cry. I know he is going to be alright now. It makes me feel better to know that.

                “Mom, when we get home can I sleep in Aubrey’s room?”

                “Yes, sweetie, you can sleep in her room.” I knew Mom just wanted to make him happy. I should have known that he wanted to sleep in my room. I guess he wants to sleep next to me. I mean he does have crazy nightmares. That is normally why he comes to me. He likes the fact that I hold him to me. I know that sounds weird, but I want to be a really good big sis.

                “I would love for you to be in my room, Mason. Mom, do you want me to stay home for the next couple of days so I can take care of Mason until you can get off from work?”

                “Yes, you can take off. I know I won’t be able to get off for a couple of days. I hate working for this company sometimes. I know my children need me sometimes, but I can’t be with them because I have to work.” She said in an angered tone. I know that mom hated that she couldn’t get off. I was only going to be home from school Monday and Tuesday. It will take her at least those two days to get off from work.

                I was happy that I got to stay home with Mason. I know I am going to cook for him. I love cooking so that is a plus for me. Mason smiled because he knew we would be able to bond in those times. I was happy that he was happy. That is all I ever want for him.
