Chapter Seven: Stalemate


I woke up in a hospital, I suppose the only reason I had lived is because someone had come across me laid unconscious on the sidewalk. Shoot, can't believe I let them get the better of me. I couldn't move my head, it hurt too much.

As I slowly regained consciousness, I could see my parents sitting beside me. They had shown up? I just laid back and stared at them for a while before attempting to say something.

Me: "Hey, what's going on?"

I barely even heard myself, the bells ringing in my head were too much. Eventually, they stopped, and I could hear my parents.

Greg: "Son, do you know who was behind this?"

Jane: "Please, let us know if you remember anything."

I groaned and shook my head, I literally couldn't remember anything from whatever time they had knocked me out. I took a heavy breath. Soon as I did that, Trevor had walked into the room.

Me: "I'll be fine, I just need to go now.."

Trevor stopped me from getting up and forced me back onto the bed. I shooed him away. He'd then sigh and nod towards my parents.

Trevor: "Don't worry, I'm a friend of his."

Jane: "A friend? Well I suppose that makes sense, considering that you showed up.."

Greg: "Jane, do you really think we can trust him? Especially with our son?"

Trevor: "Mr. and Mrs. Matthews, I assure you that you have nothing to worry about. Please let me speak with your son for a moment."

He placed a hand on my shoulder. I simply swiped it away. I didn't want anything to do with Trevor right now. I didn't want anything to do with anyone right now.

Me: "How about you all just… leave? Get out of here."

Greg: "Son, we can't-"

Me: "GO!"

Greg pats Jane on the back and they both leave, Trevor however, decides to take a seat instead of leaving. I just stare at him.

Me: "Why are you still here?"

Trevor: "Come on kid, don't be like that. We need to talk anyw-"

Me: "Where is she?"

Trevor would lift an eyebrow.

Trevor: "Who? Where is who?"

Me: "Megan, she's the only one I need to talk to."

Trevor: "Kid, I can tell her once we're done-"

Me: "DO IT!"

Trevor: "Listen kid, you know better than to order me around-"

Me: "Do you think I give two craps? I need to talk to her, not you."

He simply chuckled.

Trevor: "Alright, fine, calm down. I'll call your girlfriend."

I just about socked this man in the face, but one of the doctors came in at that exact moment.

Male Doctor: "What exactly are you doing to Mr. Matthews, sir? Please leave him be, he needs rest."

Trevor: "Right, I was just about to leave actually. My bad."

Trevor would back away from me and exit the room, not without giving me one last look though. It was a look that said: "Watch your back" before switching to a jolly smile. I simply didn't pay him any attention.

The male doctor would come over to my bed with a cup of water.

Male Doctor: "Is there anything else you'd like sir-"

I nod and drink some of the water before tossing it on the floor. The doctor would back away.

Me: "What I'd like is for you to get me out of this frickin' hospital."

The doctor would simply walk outside to report what had happened I guess. Once he had done that, I got up and started to walk out of there, it was hard though. I was struggling to walk, but it seemed like it was going to be alright.

I got out of the room and started walking towards the exit, but the person at the counter had seen me and called the nurses. I had almost fallen over but one of the nurses had caught me, fortunately. I took a heavy breath.

Meanwhile over at Trevor's…

Trevor: "Yeah, little punk is at the hospital as we speak. That'll definitely put the case on hold, sorry Megan."

Megan: "I need to go see him, you know which hospital?"

Trevor: "Yeah uh, the Saint Merades Hospital. The little man kept telling me to let you know he was there."

Megan: "Alright, thank you Trevor. Talk to you soon?"
