Okay, here's chapter two. Thanks to everyone who reviewed! And, Mellow,
thanks for the advice. I'll try to add more detail here.
Zack's POV
She was slow in my mind. Agonizing even.
"Katie is going to be just fine." She said.
I sighed in relief and put my head down. I felt like crying, but didn't want to make scene in front of everyone.
"Can we see her?" I heard Freddy ask.
"Of course, follow me." The nurse said.
I stood up, but my legs felt like they would give out at any given second. Luckily, I made it to the room to find Katie in her hospital bed, staring at the ceiling. The rest of the band and her parents walked over to her and gave her separate hugs. I stood back. I felt awkward. Like it was my fault, even though I had no idea in hell what I had to do with any of this.
"Zack?" Said a weak voice. I snapped out of my thoughts.
"You didn't think I was gonna leave you out, did you? Get over here." Katie said. Her voice sounded so weak. Like she wasn't supposed to use it. I walked over, slowly, and gave her a light hug and a half-hearted smile. Okay, light was probably an understatement. I didn't even give her an actual hug. It was more like a brush against our two bodies. The reason for this was, it felt like if I put too much pressure on her, she'd break. She was so thin. Thinner than I've ever seen her before. (end POV).
Before Zack could say anything else, the nurse came back in.
"We are going to have to keep her overnight, just for precautions." She said.
They knew it was almost dusk, and they'd all have to leave soon. And after about ten more minutes, they did. Except Zack. He walked over to her bedside once more.
"Okay, what's going on here, Katie?" He said.
"What do you mean?" She asked in the same weak voice.
"What do I me-Katie, you passed out! Like out of nowhere! And I think I know why. You want to have a shot at telling me before I have to admit it for you?" He said in a demanding tone. Katie had never head Zack's voice like that before. She wasn't even sure he'd even used it up until now. So she just looked down at her hands.
He sighed.
"Okay. Well, here's what I think." He said in a softer, more comforting voice. He leaned really close to her ear, and said: "I think you're starving yourself."
