After I leave Julian's office I just stand there. The closed door is at my back and the white med unit is in front of me and I'm utterly lost. Questions are running through my brain at an unbelievable pace and I don't have any answers. This is so damn flustereing. Coming out of my own thoughts, I hear a sound like a throat clearing I raise my head not realizing I had it hanging down. I look up and see Brent standing in front of me and before I can ask him anything he says,
" Julian took her into surgery. The nurse came out and said there's alot of internal injuries and it'll be awhile. "
" Fuck. How bad are we talking about? Brent who would do such a thing to her?" I know I'm rambling but really I just got her back and now I might lose her again. How do you process this in an span of an hour.
" Right now Lexi is touch and go. Julian will let us know but all we can do is wait and see." Brent tells me and I hear and see how this is eating him up inside. When Lexi first arrived here Brent protected her and cared for her. I always thought he loved her but he never declared himself and Vance and myself became closer to her and fell head over heels for her. I know he's hurting but I can't find it in me to comfort him.
With that I push off from the door and find a seat to lower myself in. I'll be here waiting all night if that's what it takes.
About two hours later I'm up and pacing the room. I can't seem to sit still. What could be taking so long and why hasn't anyone come out and told me anything yet. Fuck.
I've lost track of time and of how long I've been pacing, this silence is making me lose my shit. How could anyone want this? Just as I'm about to go and demand some answers from someone I hear fast footsteps like someone is running down the hall. As I turn to face the door Vance comes barreling into the room.
Vance is my twin brother while I'm the older by 4 minutes he still considers himself to be my equal, as if baby brother. He looks at me and when our eye's meet I just shake my head. I have nothing else to add to it. He take a hissing breath in and looks away for a split second. I know he needs a minute or two to get himself together.
" Are you saying she's gone?" His voice breaks at the end. I quickly realize he thinks she's dead so I say,
" No Vance she's still in surgery. Julian found some internal injuries and took her straight to surgery. "
A sigh of relief escapes him,
"How long ago was that?"
It's still strange to hear my voice coming from another person but that's what happens when you have a twin.
" 4 hours ago." Brent said from his position of laying down on the chairs. He's stretch out with his arm covering his eyes. I honestly thought he was asleep.
" Fuck. How bad is Lexi hurt?" Vance's is running his hand through his black hair as he's asking this.
" When Julian first started the exam not one part of her body wasn't buried or hurt." I inform him. And before he asks anything else I cut him off with,
" We're still waiting for some news. No ones come out to tell us anything."
And with that I start my pacing again.
I've lost track of time again I'm barely putting one foot in front of the other, when the door to the surgery unit is thrown open and an exhausted Julian comes into the waiting room. He looks beat. But before we can ask him anything he holds up his hand and say,
" She's in recovery now. Hopefully I'll have some more news for you when she wakes up but until then it's going to be touch and go."
My heart stops and I look over to Vance and notice the same look I have on my face.
" Can we see her, Julian?" When I ask this I move my hand between me and my brother.
"Yes but only a couple of minutes. I don't need you two flipping out on everyone." And before he can finish I'm charging through the door with Vance hot on my heals.
