STORM'S POV

I groan and open my eyes. "Where am I?" I look to Kim who's sitting beside me and then to Riley standing by the door.

"You're in the hospital," Kim replies.

"Seems like deja vu huh?" Riley adds in and Kim gives him a dirty look.

"What happened?" I ask.

"You had a panic attack," she explains to me. "… Due to starvation."

"I'm not starving myself," I raise my voice in response.

"Oh really Storm? What did you have to eat this morning?" Riley asks as he walks closer to me.

"I had…." I trail off.

"Exactly."

I slump in reaction.

"This has been going on for too long Storm and even you know that," Kim says to me.

Ever since Riley made that comment the night we had sex, I've been trying to lose weight. Since I don't have patience for anything, I've resorted to starving myself basically. I drink coffee to suppress my appetite and if I do get hungry, I usually eat celery or a piece of fruit… maybe some trail mix on a good day. If I'm with friends… I obviously have to make an exception, I didn't need any suspicion. But Kim…. she's been keen on me ever since Riley left over winter break. She must have told him… Riley's comment this morning threw me off completely.

I sigh and look to Riley. "I'll get through this, I know I can."

"I'm glad to hear," she says and a second later Riley charges out the door. "I'll go see what's up," Kim tries to reassure me.

"Okay," I respond. As I watch her step out the door, I try to sit up more in the hospital bed. Two trips to the hospital in the matter of three days, what the heck is wrong with you Storm? Kim walks back in with a disappointing expression. "What is it? Where did Riley go?"

She sighed. "He left…"

"What do you mean left?" I worriedly ask.

"He didn't say much, he was just rushing down the hallway… I asked where he was going, and he responded saying home. I of course asked why, and his response is that he can't deal with this…" she trails off.

My hear sinks. "I… I, what? I don't understand." My eyes begin to turn glossy. Kim places a hand on mine.

"I'm sorry Storm…" is all she can say. With that, I immediately begin to take all the tubes and what not off of me. "No Storm, stop that. You need to stay in bed."

"I don't care!" I shout as I shove her hands off of me. I throw the blanket off of me and swing my legs over the side.

"Storm please, stop this. He isn't worth it!"

"I love him!" my voice becomes louder. I find my shoes and head for the door but Kim stops me by giving me a bear hug. "GET OFF OF ME KIM! I NEED TO GO GET HIM!"

"I will not Storm, please think about this. Please just get back into bed, and you can talk to him later today when you're cleared!"

With all my lasted energy, I manage to throw her off of me causing her to stumble to the floor. Immediately I open the door and I'm caught dead in my tracks as two nurses stand before me. I look to them and try to break past them. The nurses push me back into the room and close the door behind them

"NO, LET ME GO!" I continue to shout and resist there hold.

Soon enough, I feel a needle pierce my leg, in reaction I automatically stop and take in what they just did. Next thing I knew it, I was falling to the floor as the nurses try to keep me up.

*LATER*

I suddenly wake up the moment I realize that Riley has left. I immediately sit up but was slowed down by a major head rush. I hold my head in my hand, groaning.

"You shouldn't be moving around like that," a voice says beside me. I turn my head to see Mitch and my heart stops. I give him a confused look as I allow my head to calm down. "Kim gave me a call as the paramedics were picking you up at your place… I came right away."

"Why?" I ask him as I lay back down in the hospital bed.

"Well… We're friends and friends are there for each other…" he awkwardly explains to me. "I drove pretty fast, not going to lie," he chuckles.

"You didn't have to…" I trail off.

"But I did, so whatever you say about me being stupid or what not for driving out will not be relevant enough."

Our conversation is interrupted as we hear the door open. Kim walks in with two coffee's in her hand, she looks up surprised to see that I am awake.

"Oh, I didn't think you'd be up any time soon," she blurts out. "How are you feeling?"

I think about what happened before I passed out… Riley left I think to myself and in reaction a tear runs down my face. I tried to go after him and Kim tried to stop me… With all my strength I threw her off of me. I look back up to her. "I'm really sorry Kim… are you okay?" I ask, disregarding her question.

"I mean yeah, the tumble wasn't bad. Maybe just hurt my tail bone but I'll be fine. The only thing that matters right now is you," she tells me as she walks in a hands Mitch a coffee.

"Alright," I meekly surrender to her response.

"So how are you feeling with Ri," he beings to ask.

"Don't," Kim cuts him off. I begin to cry once more. "Storm, please don't cry."

"Just leave me alone," I spit out.

"Alright," Kim agrees and heads for the door as Mitch follows.

MITCH'S POV

As soon as I hang up with Kim, I change my shirt, gather my belongings and head for my car. Since it was after rush hour, I got to Ottawa fairly quickly. As I got into the parking lot of the hospital I give Kim a text to see where they are located in the hospital. Fourth floor, and so I head up there to the west wing. I walk to the desk of the wing and ask what room Storm was in. I was directed to room four and immediately bolted for it. I open the door to see Kim sitting beside her, she immediately turns to me and indicates to me to stay quite. Storm was asleep. She ushered me out the door once more.

"Hey, so what's going on with her now? I thought she was up," I ask Kim.

"She was, and then Riley left… she freaked out and wanted to go after him. I tried to stop her and she threw me off of her to the floor. As she opened the door, two nurses were there and she tried to fight them, so I guess they had no choice but to sedate her," she explains to me.

"What do you mean Riley left?"

"Well," she sighs. "As Storm woke up I was explaining to her what happened and all Riley had to say were nasty and rude comments. As Storm was accepting the fact that she has a problem, Riley stormed out the door. I went after him and he said that he was going home and can't deal with all of this."

"That dick," I enrage.

"I know, but that doesn't matter right now… Storm's health is what we need to be concerned with."

"Right, you were trying to tell me what happened but I couldn't catch all of it because of the background noise of the paramedics."

"She hasn't been eating," she begins to tell me.

"That isn't true, she ate with me and everyone else on the weekend," I immediately try to deny her statement.

"I found her journal… she's written all about this. She makes exceptions only for social events so that nobody will catch onto her. Any other time of the day, she'd only drink coffee or a bit of fruit and or veg."

"Oh my gosh," I run my hands through my hair. "I can't believe this. Mainly that Riley would just leave after all of this… just proves that how much of a dick he actually is."

"Agreed, but hey. I'm going to go to the caf for a coffee, did you want one?"

"Sure, I'll keep an eye out for Storm if she wakes up."

"The doctor says it won't be until another hour."

I walk into the room to see Storm out cold and it wasn't long until she bolted straight up from laying down. I told her that she shouldn't be moving and looked to me in confusion, I explained why I was here followed by a grin. Moments later, Kim walks in with our coffee's. I obviously wasn't thinking as I was about to ask how she felt about Riley leaving, Kim cut me off and she started to cry. Frick. She wanted us to leave, so I followed Kim out of the door.

"I am such an idiot," I beat myself up for what I was about to say.

"It's alright," Kim replies. "I was thinking that we should probably get in contact with her parents…"

I look up to her. "Do you think that would be a smart thing to do behind her back?"

"Well… I guess not."

"We should talk to her and see what she's willing to do. You told me that she will get through this, assuming that she'll do what it would take to get better."

"Alright, we'll give her a few minutes and head back in. But between you and I, it's quite clear that you like her, otherwise you wouldn't have came in right away… also because of what you've done to help her in the past…" she trails off. I give her a puzzled look. "What you've done for her Youtube career, I've heard all of it. You've been a big inspiration to her, and hopefully she can realize that you are a better fit than Riley. God, he sickened me to no end, but since she knew him for so long, she fell in love with him more and more and more up until the day they met."

"Thanks Kim, you're a good friend," I smile and we decide to head back into the room.
