That morning I get up at the crack of dawn, Spencer still fast asleep. I get dressed in a rush, and in a matter of five minutes, I was already on my way back to the hospital.
As soon as I got there, I assumed his parents were in the room with him, so I sat in the waiting room, silently.
I sat for a few hours, just playing on my phone, then his door opens, and Jon's dad comes out. He looks like he just woke up.
"Mia?" he then notices me.
I stand, walking to him, "Mr. Cozart, hi."
"What are you doing here so early?" He seems confused.
I shrug, "I dunno. Guess I'm worried about him. I want to be here when he wakes up."
Mr. Cozart gives me a small smile, "Your a good person, Mia. I wish it would have worked out between you two."
I bit my lip, "Yeah, me too."
"Now," He started, "I'm going to get some breakfast. Old me needs some skittles."
I laugh, nodding, "Of course."
"You can go see him if you'd like. My wife's in there, but she's asleep."
"Thank you." I smile, and he nods, walking off. I start my way to Jon's room.
I walk in, and Jon is in the exact same position. Mrs. Cozart is asleep on the couch, as the tv on the wall shows, as it looks like, a quite intense game of golf.
I go to Jon, and take his hand, "Hey, Loser. I came back, just like I promised. You look the same as yesterday." I chuckled to myself.
"Hey, I read this joke on my phone." I sat on my knees, sitting straight up, though, to see him, "What is a bananas favorite cheerleading move?"
I waited a moment, "Banana splits."
I laugh, and imagine him laughing, too.
I hear another laugh, and I see his mom sitting up, "Morning, Mrs. Cozart." I smile.
"Good morning, Mia." She smiles, "Isn't it a bit early?"
"Yeah, I kind of woke up and couldn't go back to sleep. So I came to check on Jon."
"That's so sweet. Where's my husband?" she chuckles.
"Getting skittles."
"Of course, that man is always after skittles." She lets out a laugh, before things got quiet. She stares at Jon, and hurt obviously showing.
My phone buzzed in my pocket. I took it out, letting go of Jon's hand, and read Spencer's text. He wants to hang today. I sigh, and text him back telling him I'll be home soon.
I look to Ms. Cozart, "I gotta go, but I'll be back tomorrow." she nods, so I kiss Jon's cheek again, "I promise."
~~~~~~~~~
I get home and Spencer's already waiting, "Ready to go?"
"Where are we going?" I ask as he stands up from the couch.
He shrugs, "To the park to take a walk. Nothing to special."
"Okay." I agree, and we walk out to his car, getting in.
He turns on the radio, and sings along, but I don't this time. My mind is fixed on Jon, worrying if anything is happening right now.
"You okay?" Spencer asks.
I look at him, "What? Oh, yeah, I'm fine."
"You sure? Your acting weird."
"Just tired," I lied, but it halfway the truth, "Woke up to early this morning."
He rose a brow, "I noticed you left. Where'd you go?"
"Um, nowhere, really." I shrugged it off.
He stared at me for a minute before continuing his driving.
Soon, we finally got to the park. We got out and started walking on the sidewalk.
Spencer holds my hand, but I don't acknowledge it.
"Okay," He says after a while, "What's really wrong?" He stops, and makes me turn to him.
"Fine, Spencer. If you want to know so badly-"
"I just want to make sure you're okay. I want to help. You know I love you, Mia."
"Yeah, I guess. Love you, too."
"So will you please tell me?" he moves my bangs, putting them behind my ear, smiling slightly.
"Okay, you know my ex, Jon?"
"Yeah." He gets a little jealousy in his eyes.
I sigh, "He, um, he is in the hospital." Tears collect in my eyes.
"What happened?"
"A car ran past a red light and hit him. Spencer, he's in a coma." Then, the tears spill out.
Spencer grabs me into a hug, holding me as tight as he can, "I'm so sorry, Mia."
After a while, people started staring so I calmed myself down, breathing heavily in and out.
"Were you with him this morning?" Spencer asks, us starting to walk again.
I nod, "Yeah I went to his room and talked to his parents, giving them company."
"And I made you leave? God, I'm such a jerk." he blames himself.
"No, Spence, it's okay. I went yesterday, and I'm going tomorrow. It's fine." I smile slightly.
"Good. How's he doing?"
"Not good. He broke his leg, and arm, and his neck. And in a coma, of course." I said.
He sighs, "That's terrible, I'm so, so sorry, Mia."
"It's fine. Hopefully he'll wake up soon, and everything will be back to normal." I give him a smile.
But the thing I didn't know, nothing was going to be normal from that day on.
