Serena decided she had been a little harsh on Bernie and she should have heard her out rather than run away. A few hours after leaving the bar she decided to return and make it up with her. she entered the bar but Bernie was nowhere to be seen.
"did you see where Bernie went?" Serena asked Raf as she reached the bar
"she left not long after you i thought she had gone after you?" Raf replied "and on that note we better be going its getting late"
"so how long have you and Bernie been an item?" Jac asked
"come on Jac thats none of our business" Mo piped up
"we're not i didn't even know she felt that way she should have just told me" said Serena as she and the others left the bar "i came back to find her talk things over but i see she probably gone home"
it was still raining when they left the bar Zosia opened an umbrella and her jasmine and mo crowed underneath trying to keep dry
"isn't that her over there?" said Jack sarcastically as she pointed over to a bench just to the left of them
"what in heavens name is she doing laying there" Serena asked as she walked over to her "Bernie Bernie dear it's raining you can't stay here"
but Bernie wasn't moving she was just laying there freezing and soaked
"you said she left a few minutes after me?" Serena asked Raf
"yeah as i said i thought she had gone after you" Raf replied
"oh great thats all we need she must have been out there all this time in the freezing cold" said Serena looking at Bernie's pale skin "Raf get her up to AAU right now she needs to be warmed up"
Raf picked up a motionless Bernie and ran up to AAU with her on the way up they bumped into Ric who was on his way home
"whats happening here?" Ric asked seeing Mo, Jasmine, Serena, Zosia and Jac running really fast towards a lift that had just opened he noticed Raf coming up behind them carrying a motionless Bernie in his arms
" its a long story but the short of it is we found her slumped outside on a bench in the rain i think she has been there a few hours she's freezing" Said Raf trying to get Ric up to speed really quickly
"well you better get her to AAU right now looks like its hypothermia" said Ric as he looked down at Bernie
"thats where we're heading now" said Raf as they all stepped out of the left
"it's all my fault" said Serena in a panicked voice
Raf put Bernie down on a trolley and wheeled her into AAU
"it's not your fault she knew what she was doing" Raf replied
"yeah but if i had stayed and talked it over none of this would have happened" Serena said
they wrapped her up in loads of blankets and hocked her up to a drip to keep her hydrated
"now we just have to wait let her warm up and come round" said Raf to Serena
"yes thanks i do know what we are doing i am a doctor" said Serena sarcastically
"well we better be off gotta be up early and Bernie really doesn't need a crowd" said Zosia as they all left the ward leaving serena and Raf by Bernie's bedside
a few hours later Bernie woke up, she looked up at Serena a tear falling down her face, she didn't say anything but quickly looked away.
"Bernie it's not your fault i should have stayed sorted things out with you, i didn't know you felt this way about me" said Serena how long have you felt like this?"
Bernie just laid there staring into space she didn't really care anymore as Serena had broken her heart and she really didn't have any fight left in her
no matter what Serena said to Bernie she wouldn't say anything she just laid there after a few minutes she fell sleep. An hour later she woke up Serena was still sitting there
"I'm not going anywhere till you talk to me" Serena demarened
"i thought i thought you loved me" Bernie stuttered trying ever so hard not to cry "you told me not to lie so i didn't"
"what made you think i loved you, I'm fond of you as a friend thats all" Serena replied
"i can't help the way i feel" Bernie Snapped as she turned away "please leave i want to be on my own"
Serena got up and left the room
"so how is she?" Raf asked
"physically she will be find mentally I'm not sure we should give her some space" Serena told Raf I'll be back in the morning to check on her
