CHAPTER FIFTEEN

-
Tatum stared at stu as the two of them sat in the waiting room. Autumn was currently in surgery. "Tatum!" She tore her gaze away from stu and looked at dewey who rushed over to her.

She stood up and dewey hugged her ,"Are you okay?" He asked, and she nodded ,"Yeah, it's Autumn. He was shot, and he's in surgery. "

"What happened?" He demanded, "I really don't know much but the lady just keep saying that it was the only way or something like that." Tatum told him

"I just focused on Autumn." She added, "he's gonna be okay, right?" They both looked at stu , "right? I mean, it's tum tum, he can't die, he just can't." Stu said, with a shake of his head

"I'm gonna take him to the bathroom to get him cleaned up," Tatum said, wiping the tears that slid down her cheeks before gently grabbing stu's hand and dragged him away.

Dewey sat down, putting his head in his hands before letting out a small sob. He couldn't lose his baby brother, he just couldn't.

"Tat-" stu started but was cut off by Tatum, "I knew stu," she told him as she helped him wash the blood off his hands

"I've always known. You and billy made it so obvious that you love my brother," she told him

"Shit, billy. I have to call him and tell him what happened and Autumn is.." stu trailed off

"He should be here," he said, sniffling and Tatum sighs, "he's gonna be okay. Autumn..he's always been a wild card. He was always in the hospital ever since he was a baby," she told him

"Did we ever tell you that Autumn was born with a very weak heart?" Stu looked at her, surprised.

He didn't know that, " the doctors told my mom and dewey that he wasn't gonna even last day," she continued not looking at him as she washed the blood off his hands

She was being gentle and caring, she wasn't mad or anything like that. "He shocked everyone by staying alive the next day," she added

"What I'm saying is, Autumn is a fighter, he's always been a fighter. He's gonna be just fine. So, don't worry, okay? He wouldn't want us to worry," she told him, finally looking at him

"I can't help but worry," he whispered, "billy and I..we can't lose autumn. Yeah, billy and I love each other very much and we can't lose each other either but autumn...he's just...we can't lose him," stu told her

"And you won't. Listen, my brother is gonna be just fine and I know for a fact that when he wakes up all he's gonna be worried about is, his ruined nails, my mom getting pissed about her couch and that he didn't get his pizza," she told him and stu chuckled

"Yeah, that sounds like him. I'll paint his nails again and I'll buy him all the pizza, he wants." Stu said with a determined look on his face.

Tatum chuckled, "so,you and billy a thing as well? Is that where you get your hickies? And those limps? Such a bottom, stu," she said and stu blushed

"S-shut up."
-
Autumn was fine. He was fine but he was complaining about being in the hospital again.

"I wann' go home!" He complained wincing a bit, "you can't," Tatum told him with a small eye roll "and you ain't." Dewey told him

"But I'm fine, I just shot, like that ain't a big deal. You know what is a big deal? Not getting my pizza and mom's couch getting ruined again," Autumn said

"It's a big deal, tum tum. You almost died , " stu told him, frowning and autumn looked at him before sighing

"Fine. I'll stay in the hospital." He said, with a small grin.

"Only if one of you sneaks in a pizza."
