Rae slowly opened her eyes, expecting to still see Adam at Tyler's side, though a furrow of brows was given, as she didn't see the blonde Canadian. "Adam?" She asked wearily to the darkened room, though shaking her head, Rae gave a sigh knowing something about this wasn't right.
Slowly getting up, she stirred Jeff. "Keep an eye on Tai." She muttered, slipping from the room, gently biting her lower lip. Though as Rae travelled down the hospital halls, her slow walk, turned slowly into a frantic jog. "Can I help you?" A nurse suddenly asked, as Rae passed a nurses station. Stopping, Raeanne slowly gave a nod. "Uh, actually yes. Did a male, about 6'4" pass by here? Uhm, blonde hair... kinda wavy, was maybe wearing sunglasses."
Contemplating for a moment, the nurse gave a slow nod. "Yes actually, about 15 minutes ago. He seemed pretty upset. Thats all I know." Rae gave a thankful nod, bolting outside, the heavens still drenching the world below. Shaking her head, Rae thanked god that there were always a few cabs outside of the hospital. Pushing past a few people, she reached a deserted one, sliding into the back.
[. 10 . minutes . later .]
Adam sighed, throwing the last of his things into his bag. Slinging it over his shoulder, he trudged lightly to the door but just as he was about to open it, it flung over. A panting, and drenched Rae standing in the door-way. "Where the hell do you think your going?" She finally managed.
"You're right Rae. This is my fault. Its just better I leave Tai alone.. and..."
"No." Rae said plainly, before shaking her head. "No Adam. You drop that bag, and you march your ass back to that hospital, and sit in the chair at Tai's bedside."
"I can't... if I hadn't drag-.."
"Adam I'm sorry. This... this wasn't your fault. You can't make Tai do anything she doesn't. At the time, she probably thought it wouldn't be too bad. You know Tai, always misjudging stuff." Rae said, a pleading look in her eyes, tears once again slowly streaming down her cheeks. "You didn't do anything. I was mad, and upset... and...and... I needed to blame someone. Someone who was there. Please, this isn't your fault... it isn't."
Adam sighed, and watched Rae slide to the floor, pulling her knees to her chest and laying her head in her hands, sobs rocking her frame. Adam sighed, kneeling next to Rae, and gently laying a hand on her shoulder, yet gave a light grunt as she suddenly embraced him in a tight hug. "Please, please, please... don't blame yourself, I was wrong." Rae whispered.
"Rae?"
"Yeah?"
"You're choking me." Adam replied, Rae pulling back with a sheepish grin. "Sorry." Adam sighed, as he pulled Rae up off the floor. "Adam, if anyone... I should be blamed."
The blonde Canadian only blinked. "Why Rae?"
"I..." Rae began slowly. "I sorta told Tai, she should be nicer to you, and agree to do something with you, if you asked."
"Rae that's not your fault...its that asshole in the car's fault."
"I guess." Rae finally managed. Nodding, Adam threw his bag on a bed, leading Raeanna from the room. "C'mon, lets go back and see Tyler."
"Yeah. Good plan... so, friends?"
"For now." Adam replied with a smirk. Rae gave a light laugh, and shook her head. "I guess I can accept that answer."
"Good."
