Okay, another short chapter, but I wanted to get something posted. Please review. Don't forget to give me your opinions on who you think Mimi should be with. I want to know what you think. So, once again, please review.

"If you don't stop sticking needles into me, I'm going to scream. And would you stop looking at me like I'm crazy; I'm not crazy!" Mimi was getting sick and tired of the nurses and doctors constantly coming in and out of her room, talking about her like she wasn't here. She had woken up this morning disorientated, shocked to find herself in a hospital bed. At first she had been disappointed, and rightfully so; she wasn't supposed to be here. Then she started to get angry. Nobody would tell her how she had gotten here. All they would say is that she needed to rest and then they'd give her something to make her sleep.
She'd tried making a break for it, but she had been so weak that they had caught her before she had even made it out of the room. From that time, they hadn't let her have a moment's peace. There were nurses checking her vitals every five seconds, or so it seemed. She was ready to follow through on her earlier promise she a doctor came in and told her that she had visitors. She already knew who it was.
They piled into her room, Belle and her family first, followed by the Brady's, Phillip, and Chloe. They smiled at her tentatively and she groaned. "I'm going to go crazy if you don't stop looking at me like I already am. One of you better tell me how and why I'm here. And what did I tell you about the needles." She said the last part to a nurse approaching her with something she knew was going to 'calm her down'.
"We need you to keep calm. If you don't, you'll hinder your recovery." To be honest, the nurse was just getting tired of listening to the girl's constant ranting.
"I don't give a damn about recovering. I don't want to be here." Mimi yelled, causing the group to cringe and Belle to tear up.
"You can't mean that Meems." She was desperate. "We love you and we don't want to lose you. You have to know that." Everyone nodded their agreement.
For a second, she had forgotten that they were there. This was what she had been dreading since she had woken up and realized that she was still alive. She hadn't wanted to deal with this, and she wasn't sure that she could handle it. "I'm kinda tired. I think I'm gonna take a nap." She added a yawn for good measure and her back to them, not waiting for a response. She knew they would leave her alone; it's what they did best.
Mimi sighed as she saw heard them go. It would have been so much easier if she wasn't here; they didn't need her burdening them. They said that they loved her, but she was sure that they just felt guilty because they hadn't noticed her downward spiral. They would be better off without her, so would have to push them away. If she made them believe that she didn't want them, they would leave her alone and get back to their lives.
They knew what she was doing, but they wouldn't let her push them away. They were going to be there for her no matter what she did. They wouldn't let her go through this alone. It just wasn't an option.

Nobody noticed the person watching from the shadows. They'd had to make sure that Mimi was okay but knew that it wasn't time for their presence to be revealed.
