Allistair POV.
I feel an arm wrap around me, I look up and see Topaz sat next too me holding two disposable cups of coffee.
"How you doing?" She asks softly.
I shake my head, "I don't know. I'm not even sure how I'm supposed too feel, we weren't really friends, but we, last night we really connected"
Topaz intwines her hand with mine, "She'll be fine, I promise"
A nurse runs out into the corridor, causing my head to snap up, "DOCTOR ROBERTS! WE HAVE A PATIENT WHO'S TURNING PYSNOTIC!"
My heart stops.
Doctor Roberts, is Mia's doctor.
My mouth runs dry.
"I-I really don't want to lose her" I admit.
Topaz sighs before resting her head on my shoulder, "I don't want you to lose her either"
Footsteps cause my head to turn towards the double-doors to my left.
My heart race increases, when I see a familiar looking bright-red haired girl coming towards us. Her expression shows worry.
"I-Is she okay?!" Rain squeaks out, as she comes towards us.
I shake my head as I burry it, in my hands.
"H-How did you know she was here?" Topaz asks softly.
"O-Oh, My mother used to foster care for Mia, and the hospital rang my mother by mistake telling her they'd been an accident. So we both came over here, to check on her"
I snap my head up, "Mia was in foster care?"
Rain nods sadly, "H-Her mother was got really annoyed, and slapped her then kicked Mia out onto the streets"
A surge of anger runs through my veins, at the thought of Mia's mom doing that to her.
A hand intwines with mine, I smile softly as I see Rain watching me with a worried expression causing my stomach, to twinge slightly.
"I didn't realise you and Mia, where friends"
I turn to look at the beautiful girl sat next to me, "We're recent friends"
"She's not as bad as she seems, I think she's a good person"
"I know she's a good person" I mumur.
Rain gives me a small smile before nestling into my arm, "W-What's happening then?"
"I really don't know, the doctors haven't really said much"
"ALLISTAIR!" A familiar voice shouts, I look up and see Dad and Riley coming towards me,
"D-Dad?" I croak out, "What are you doing here?"
Riley's eyes fill with tears, "We heard about, Mia's overdose"
"How you holding up?" Dad asks as he places a hand on my shoulder.
I let out a shaky laugh, "S-Suprisingly, not good"
"Do you know why she did it?" Riley asks, as she scrapes a chair and pulls it out in-front of us.
A horrible thought flashes in my head.
I hurt her feelings, minuets before she overdosed.
Biles threatens to rise in my stomach.
What if I'm the reason?
What if I'm the reason she wanted to overdose?
She needed someone, and I just left her to be with Rain.
"Allistair, buddy you don't look so good" Dad says worriedly.
I nod numbly, "I-I just need her to be okay"
"She will be, I'll find a doctor now" Riley says re-assuringly, as she stands up and walks towards the nurses desk.
"Who's watching Kendall, Jace and Apirl?"
"Your Uncle Farkle and Maya"
Rain kisses my shoulder, before resting a hand on my cheek, "Maybe, you should go home. You're starting to look really unwell. Maybe the stress is too much"
I shake my head, "I need to be here for her, I already let her down before"
Riley walks towards her with an unreadable expression, "W-Well there's good and bad news, the good news is that she's stable, and they've found brain activity. B-But the bad news is, that her organs aren't responding well, so they've put her in a medically induced coma and putting her on a form of dialysis and hopefully her organs will start working again"
"W-What happens if they dialysis doesn't work?" Topaz asks, her voice cracks ever-so slightly towards the end.
Riley lets out a strangled sob, "T-Then I'm really sorry, but she won't...she can't"
I shake my head before bolting out of my seat and walking away.
All I felt was anger.
Anger towards me, for letting her down.
Anger towards Mia, for being so stupid and causing herself to be this seriously sick.
Anger towards her parents, who never cared to love her.
Anger towards God, for not just letting her live.
I feel my fist collide with the wall, taunting me at the opposite side of where I'm standing.
"ALLISTAIR!" A voice cries out.
I feel a hand overlap with mine, I shake my head as tears build in my eyes. A slightly smaller figure than my own wraps it's self around me.
"She's going to be fine, I know she is"
"How?"
"Because, Mia doesn't take shit from anyone, let alone from God"
I laugh depsite the situation, as I pull away from the red-headed girl, "Thank you, for making me smile"
"Thank you for letting me"
"You know, I'd kiss you but I really don't want our first kiss, with me having bloodshot eyes and standing in a hospital corridor"
Rain laughs before shrugging, "I don't mind where we have our first kiss, as long as I have it with you"
My stomach twinges before I lean in and gently, put my lips onto hers. I feel her cling to me slighly causing her kiss to become more desperate and meaningful. My arms wrap around her waist tightly, as hers clasp around my neck.
We pull away after a few seconds, due to the lack of oxygen.
"I don't care if you like me, or if you just needed that" Rain mumurs.
I stroke a piece of her hair, "I like you Rain, I really do"
"I think, I like you too"
Guilt swarms in my stomach.
A girl who is in love with me, is fighting for her life and here I am, just meters away confessing my feelings for another girl.
I'm a horrible person.
"We can't do this" I say quickly, as I take a step backwards.
"You just said you liked me? I don't understand"
"I do like you, trust me. But I can't do this until I know Mia is going to be okay"
"I understand"
"You can?"
"I'll wait, I'd be an idiot not too"
My heart clenches happily, but quickly sinks soon after when I realise the only person I want to talk to about this moment, is the girl who currently can't even work her own organs.
Do you want Mia to be okay?
Do you think Allistair is going to end up with Mia or Rain?
How do you feel about Mia's character development? First she was a sweet neighbour, who was best friends with Topaz, then she pretended she had feelings for Blane and was a heartless bitch towards Topaz, but then we figured out she had many issues going on. And now we know, she used to be in foster care.
