Kyla's POV:
"Kyla!!!"
As soon as I walked into the waiting room Carmen crashed into to me. You'd have thought we hadn't seen each other for months the way she clung to me.
"Hey," I managed, not sounding as positive as I wanted too.
"Please tell me you're wearing your ring? Don't ask" she sighed, scanning my hands for the only ring I ever really wore. It was diamond and I hardly wore it out, the last present from my dad before he died.
"Yeah??" I flicked my hand up to show her, when she tugged it off my hand and forced it onto my wedding finger.
"This is Baines fiancée," She called dragging me over to the reception desk. The nurse nodded, "OK Miss Lee's he's on ward 360"
*********************************************************************
"Alright Miss Lee's since when am I marrying Baine?" I made sure we where clear of the waiting room before questioning Kyla.
"Since they only let family in, I'd already said I was his sister plus I thought I saw you with your diamond ring earlier, so it made sense" she shrugged as we walked past several busy wards.
"So I couldn't just be another sister, I had to be marrying the guy?" I spoke a little sharply, and apologised when I saw Carmen looking hurt.
"Sorry Carm, I have had a rough day you know, but I understand you have things ten times worse right now." My shoulders slumped, something she seemed to notice.
"It's OK" She forced a smile, "So that talk with Spencer a little heavier than it seemed huh?"
I didn't get a chance to reply, as a patient was wheeled between us, to a room down the corridor. Squashed against the wall I noticed the passing patient was an almost unrecognisable Baine, hooked up to tubes, pipes and breathing apparatus.
"Kyla, that was…."
"Baine, I know" She looked mortified.
"Come on then!" Tugging her sleeve, I yanked her down the corridor; to the room he was taken.
When we reached his door Carmen froze up, there where three doctors all tapping away at various machines that flashed and beeped, while a nurse took notes in the corner.
Aherrrm.
I cleared my throat, drawing a young doctor's attention. He had long blonde hair and was quite attractive as far as doctor's go, "Ladies? Does either of you know this boy?" his voice was rich despite his almost whisper, I turned to Carmen also captivated by him.
"Yeah, I'm his sister and this is his fiancée" she quickly found her words before I screwed the details up and tried to hit on him.
"Well, do either of you know what he's taken? It's vital we find out, so we can treat him" He searched both of our faces.
"What? As in, like, a drug?!" Carmen was baffled "No way, I mean he did a bit of weed here and there, but no way would he do anything else."
"It's defiantly some form of drug Miss, we've treated him the best we can for now, but I'm afraid until we know for sure, Baine here's, fighting for his life"
On hearing this Carmen ran from the room in floods of tears.
"Carmen!? Thank you doctor," He nodded before I ran the length of the corridor searching for my friend. When she wanted to run, she could run, but I managed to find her easily enough.
She was curled in a corner of a green sofa in what looked like an old staff room, "Carm? Err; I don't think you're supposed to be in here…" I slipped into the musty room.
"I don't care! I couldn't careless!!" She shot from where she lay, "Just go away Kyla I want to be alone!" I couldn't say that didn't hurt, but I sat by her despite her protests.
"No Carmen, I'm here for you and I'm not going anywhere, so you will just have to get used to it" I told her firmly, after which she fell silent.
*********************************************************************
She had sat staring at the grey walls for over an hour; I was beginning to think she may never talk again, when she finally let her folded arms fall to her side.
Taking every opportunity to show my support, I slowly reached across and intertwined our fingers.
Absentmindedly playing with them, I didn't notice Carmen staring round at me.
"So your bi?"
I jumped slightly as she broke the silence, "I guess," shrugging casually I carried on running my fingers over hers.
"You where totally checking that doctor out!" She sniggered into her legs, which she had pulled tight to her chin with her free hand.
"Hell yeah! He was cute" I joked, happy to have her talking again.
I could feel her eyes on me but paid no attention to it, just studied her hands, I wanted her to make the effort this time.
"Kyla?" She waited till my eyes met hers before speaking, "You were telling me about Spence?" my gaze dropped.
"Kyla." She gently sqooze my hand, "Please tell me..."
*********************************************************************
Flashback
Me and Carmen had just finished up singing, and left the stage to an enthusiastic round of applause. "Now I can honestly say I wasn't expecting that!" Carmen chirped, "What the applause or that I could actually sing?" I raised my eyebrows suspiciously.
"Maybe I'm talking about something else," She grinned wickedly for a minute.
"Oh? I'm afraid I have no idea what you are talking about Carm" I repeated her earlier words, attempting to play down the fact; the sexual tension between us was killing me….
I watched as the smile slipped from her face.
Nice going Kyla, really smooth!!!
I felt a hand fall softly on my shoulder, "Kyla. Could we talk? Carmen, I think you should go see Baine, he looked pretty sick."For the first time since the beginning of the song, became aware that my girlfriend was in the same room.
End of flashback
*********************************************************************
"We talked; she pretty much told me she was in love with Ash, so we reached a mutual agreement to not see each other any more." I spoke more to our hands than my friend.
So I'd left out my reason we weren't together but what was I gonna do? I didn't want her to know she was my reason for the break up.
"What?!?! Sorry Kyla, I'm not buying it. There's something you're not telling me here. If it was a mutual agreement you weren't happy either, explain!"
Damn her! She's doing that thing again. I hate that.
I tried to sulk, much to her amusement.
Who am I kidding I love that she gets me…….
"I can't be with her when I know I want you; it's not fair on either of us. That's pretty much what I told her, and she told me she felt the same with Ashley so that's how it happened. But now you're going to hate me for not just seeing you as a friend, but I really can't Carmen and it hurts. It really hurts…" When I finally caught my breath, I found her speechless.
I couldn't believe I had just told her that, or even figure out why. When there was no immediate reply I let go of her hand and got up to leave.
"So a bad night for relationships all around then,"
I stopped in the doorway as Carmen spoke out, "What?"
"I was going to finish it with Baine tonight, you know, until this happened."
I looked around and saw her staring blankly at the wall as she spoke. "Why? You guys were great together, every time I saw you two you'd be holding hands, making out or laughing at one of his lame ass remarks" I hovered in the doorway, ready to leave should things get awkward.
She laughed dryly, "That was only ever when you were around, why did you think he got jealous of you,"
"So you did that because you knew how I felt, knowing that it hurt me? Low blow Carmen-"
"No Kyla, I did it because of how I felt for you. I had all these feelings and, I don't know. It wasn't right…."
Wow ok I didn't dream that was going on in her head- hello more confusion.
I had sagged against the doorway in amazement, running a hand through my hair I let it all sink in.
"You know what? This is wayyy too confusing, I'm sorry Carmen, I'm still struggling with my own sexuality here, I just can't go through all of this again." This time when I left she didn't try to stop me.

Take these haunted
Hallow, dreams
Drive them far from me…
Only you, can save me now...
Im falling way too fast-
Don't let me down
Don't want to drown
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
I woke in the reception of the hospital, not happy to leave Carmen alone I had waited out here and must have dosed off.
I pulled my still ringing cell from my jeans pocket. Three missed calls and a message, the display read as Spencer.
"Hey what's up?" I must have sounded a little groggy still, "Hey. Sorry if I woke you, but Kyla it's urgent. Tell the doctors they are tranq's. Horse tranquillisers."
It took a while before I realised what Spencer was on about. "Oh? Fuck! Baine! Yeah sure, im on it." This new information provided a much needed burst of energy, sliding my phone back into my pocket I darted off towards Baines ward.
Several questions swam around my head, as the corridors seemed to float past.
How did Spencer know it was a drug?
Did she drug Baine?
No she wouldn't have, but how did she know we needed to know?
"Horse…Tranquil…isers!!" I panted as I burst into Baine's room, the blonde haired doctor was still inside, and quickly ran to fetch the others on hearing this.
Once I had time to catch my breath, I realised he had been sat talking to Carmen. She shifted in her seat, clearly uncomfortable under my gaze "How do you know that?" She asked curiously.
"Spencer. I was asleep in reception and she just rang telling me to tell the doctors quick. God knows how she knew, hopefully it will be enough." I looked over at Baine, who lay seemingly lifeless on the hospital bed.
Several doctors piled into the room and carted him out. "Girls I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave now," The Blonde doctor guided us out of the room. "I promise, we will do our best." He insisted as he shut the door behind us.
"I'm sorry I walked off earlier, I know you need support and not a guilt trip right now, but the last forty eight hours haven't exactly been my smoothest." I looked down at my Vans as we walked down the corridor, headed nowhere in particular.
"I'm glad you came back," She spoke quietly also to her Airwalk, "You know you didn't let me finish earlier." bumping into my shoulder gently, she forced my eyes away from my battered shoes.
"What I was trying to say was, I was confused. Really confused, but when we sang that song together I didn't care; If it seemed wrong, If I got no end of grief for it, if it meant I had to break up with a boyfriend I only dated to hide my true feelings."
I stopped as we approached a familiar looking door, this was getting too much for me and I felt tears beginning to form, "Carm please." I wiped my eyes roughly ashamed I was crying over her again, "Please, don't say it if you don't mean it. I'm sick of the head games. You told me yourself you couldn't careless"
"I meant Baine, I saw him in that room and it hurt me that I didn't care like a girlfriend should, I couldn't care less. That's why I ran away Kyla," Her eyes bore into mine, as she continued despite my words "After the song I realised you were always there, you always have been and you only proved it further tonight."
I was bowled over as she kissed me hard on the lips. I hesitated at first, scared of another rejection maybe. But when she didn't pull away I let my every feeling for the girl run wild.
Once I had returned the kiss, Carmen grew bolder and walked me backwards, her mouth moving quickly from mine to my neck, until we collided with a door.
Her hands snaked around my waist pulling us closer, only working to fuel the passion with which we kissed. Something that had not gone unnoticed by the patients in the opposite ward, we had already earned numerous wolf whistles.
"Get a room!" Some grouchy old man had decided to take a late night stroll in the corridor, and was waving his Zimmer frame a little too enthusiastically, for a hundred something year old.
"Carm, I think he's gonna have heart failure in a minute," I bit my lip as she nipped playfully at my neck.
"Fine." She ran her tongue up to just below my jaw-line before turning to the ruffled man, "We'll get a room…"
*********************************************************************
I suddenly realised where we where, as we tumbled into the old staff room, caught up in each other. "Romantic," I mumbled finding I was unable to detach myself from her.
She broke away from me briefly "Take it or leave it."
I pretended to think on it for a while, "Hmm, defiantly the first one" again our lips moulded together, I guided her back onto the sofa.
Our breathing was ragged as we tugged off our shirts hurriedly, each eager to have the other back in our arms.
Take these haunted
Hallow, dreams
Drive them far from me….
Only you, can save me now...
Im falling way too fast-
Don't let me down
Don't want to drown
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Take this chance
To make us last
Shadows cloud a once
Colourful past, time, now a memory
My dreams show you
Alone with me
Alone, at peace, we're still
Don't let me down
Don't want to drown
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
My phone sang out, "Who is it?" Carmen asked as I broke away from her, to tug it from my jeans "Spencer?" I looked at the display again, confused "It's two o'clock why would she be calling?"
"Probably just to check on Baine, Ignore it babe" Her mouth found mine again, distracting me temporarily.
Take these haunted
Hallow, dreams
Drive them far from me….
"Sorry Spence, but she's mine now," I couldn't help but snigger as Carmen jealously snatched the phone from my hand and turned it off.
"What are you laughing at?" She threw my phone onto the coffee table, as she straddled me and pouted sexily "You're all mine. That is, if you want me…"
