Chapter 36

"That's because you haven't seen my true potential." Sarah fires back, "I'll show you Eva... One day, you'll fall at the hands of my wrath."


"I doubt it," I dryly reply.

Sebastian wonkily makes his way to the emergency room, checking in with the receptionist as we all tiredly wait. He slumps down into one of the beds, and only Lauren is allowed to accompany him because according to the nurse, there are 'too many people'.


"So, tomorrow do you guys just want to go to Perth?" Paige asks, looking over her itinerary. "There isn't much left for us to do here, and I'm thinking it's best we leave before Jacob encounters any more cane toads and kills himself."


"That sounds like a good idea," Trinity agrees, nodding her head. "After Sebastian gets treated for whatever he has, we should all just leave."


"Um... Am I the only one thinking about what's taking so long?" I nervously say, looking over at Sebastian's bed which is surrounded by a curtain. "I hope Sebastian is okay, he probably only has some hypothermia but... What if it ends up being really bad?"


"Oh, he'll be fine..." Danielle dismisses with a wave to her hand, "Sebastian almost drowned at tiktok camp but is miraculously still alive. Don't worry, and even if he did die, it's not like any of us would care."


Everybody, except for Jacob, Sarah and Zoe look at Danielle in horror. Of course we would care if Sebastian died. We were kind of friends, I suppose?


"Guys, I'm joking," Danielle rolls her eyes at our expressions. "Obviously I'd care, but stop worrying Eva - he'll be completely fine."


"That's not reassuring..." Cash uncertainly says. Maverick suddenly gets up from his seat, and starts to shuffle towards the exit. "Where are you going?"


"I'll be back," Maverick calls back. He exits the doors of the emergency room, while Cash shakes his head in pure disappointment for his brother.


"I've just realised that this is probably the calmest situation we've ever had in this whole trip." I said, and everybody nodded their heads in agreement with me. But suddenly, just at this moment - we hear the yells and screams of the nurses and doctors around Sebastian's bed.


"What the hell is going on?" Mychael says, trying his best to peer through the glass. "What are they doing with Sebastian?"


Lauren bursts out of the curtains, running to the glass doors and ramming them open.


"The d-doctors!" She sniffles, "they think he has liver failure because his skin is orange!"


"Isn't his skin orange because of the spray tan?" Sarah disgustingly says. This stops the entire staff of the hospital, to stare at Lauren for conformance.


"I mean, yeah... I didn't think it was relevant though, you guys are medical professionals."


They sigh, putting away the equipment that they were going to use to treat Sebastian for his 'liver' failure and return back to their respective places.


It seems like hours, but finally Sebastian's body temperature is back to normal and they start the discharge paperwork.


"So, hectic night, hasn't it been?" Mychael awkwardly says to me, trying to make a conversation. "For a second I really thought we were going to lose Sebastian."


"Yeah," I laugh. "It's crazy, I can't believe his spray tan caused this much of a commotion."


"Yeah... So listen, I wanted to tell you that I kind of still like y-"


"EVERYBODY!" Maverick booms, stomping back into the emergency room. "Guess what?"


"What is it?" Paris glares at Maverick for his sudden outburst, annoyed. "Loud noises are horrible for my pores, because the sound waves actually clog them and-"


"Louise is joining us on our roadtrip!" Maverick grins, while Louise slowly walks behind him, nodding her head.


"Really? How'd you get her to join?" Paige asks, "I thought she hated us."


"She's... She's kind of my girlfriend..?"


The guide drops his phone on the floor, but doesn't care. He slowly looks at Maverick, his moustache twitching in excitement.


"Oh no..." I slowly mutter underneath my breath.


"God, save us all..." Mychael shortly says after.


"I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU, I HAVE A DISCOUNT AT THIS WEDDING STORE AND-"
