Another chapter, hopefully it doesn't suck. Review please.
Summer made her way through the crowd, and sat next to Marissa, "Hey, I can't find her anywhere, I don't think she works here anymore."
Perfect timing, Sum, Marissa thought. Marissa didn't look at Summer she was just staring at the girl in front of her.
"What you don't acknowledge me anymore?" she said as she waved her hand in front of Marissa's face.
"Ah, whatever, Operation Butterfly Catcher isn't going so well. Hey Coop, what are you looking at?" Summer turned her head to see what Marissa was staring at, "Oh," was all she could say once she saw Alex standing there with the same blank expression that Marissa had on.
After a few minutes of staring Marissa opened her mouth, "Hey, can we talk?" Marissa asked Alex with pleading eyes.
"Uh..I..Umm." Alex couldn't find any coherent thoughts to say aloud. The first thing that came to her mind was I love you, but saying that might be a little intense.
"What she means to say is yes," Katie answered for her, "besides it's dying down and the band's almost done so I think I can manage, shoo."
"Um.. ok. You wanna come to my office?" Alex finally responded, her voice bearly audible.
"Yeah, that would be great."
Alex walked out of the bar and met Marissa at her seat. Since Marissa didn't know where her office was Alex thought that she should lead her to it. Once Alex met Marissa they immediately avoided eye contact-they looked everywhere else except each other.
"Um, I'll show you the way, just follow me."
"Alright,"
Marissa got up and began to follow Alex who had already started to walk through the heavy crowd, (her office was on the other side of the club). Just as the girl were walking through the crowd, the band ripped into their chorus and a bunch of guys –obviously drunk- decided to create a moshpit. Just as they were starting to jump, one guy knocked Alex so hard that she lost her balance and fell backwards onto Marissa which caused them to loose their balance and fall to the floor. On instinct Marissa grabbed Alex's waste so she could have something to hold onto. They both fell to the floor, Alex on top of Marissa all in one THUD. Marissa looked up and met Alex's eyes for the first time since they left to go to Alex's office.
"Uh…I..Sorry." Why aren't to getting up? You're on top of the poor girl, get up! Alex yelled in her thoughts.
Why isn't she getting up? Not that I'm complaining. Fuck, my head hurts.
Alex suddenly got up and helped Marissa off the floor, and led her back to the office.
-Inside-
"Look, I'm sorry for falling on you back there, are you okay? Some jackass pushed me and…"
"Don't apologize, I'm fine, it's not your fault," Marissa said as she rubbed her head. Alex noticed this.
"Is your head alright?"
"Yeah I think it just broke my fall though," she said as her vision began to fade and reached for a chair.
"OMG, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine, I think I just need to sit down." Marissa said while holding on to the chair.
"No, I'm taking you to the hospital," Alex said as she grabbed her jacket and keys.
"No, I'm fine. I'm just a little dizzy. Here I'll prove it." Marissa started to let go of the chair and walk towards Alex, "See, I just need to walk it off," however, once she walked about 2 steps she started to collapse. Alex ran towards Marissa and caught her before she fell to the floor.
"Ok, I'm taking you to the hospital; just stay with me, okay?"
"Yeah sure," Marissa said as she started to loose conscience in Alex's arms.
"No! Stay with me Riss," Alex said in a strained voice, trying to hide her fear as she scooped Marissa up in her arms and made her way to her car.
"Alex! What's going on?" Summer yelled as soon as she saw Alex making her way through the bar with a passed out Marissa.
"She hit her head and I'm taking her to the hospital." Alex said over her shoulder, "Come on Riss, stay with me, talk to me."
"Wait, what?" Summer asked as she caught up to her friend.
"Look, I'm taking Marissa to the hospital; she'll be fine, just go home and I'll get her to call you tomorrow."
With that Alex carefully placed Marissa into the passenger's side of her jeep and put her seatbelt on. She then turned around and quickly got into the driver's side, as Summer stood back trusting Alex with Marissa's welfare.
-They were on their way to the hospital, when they reached a red light. This gave Alex an opportunity to check on Marissa, she had her eyes open for most of the car ride , but when Alex looked over she was beginning to loose conscience again.
"Marissa? Stay awake, stay with me, baby."
Marissa's eyes began to open again at the "baby" remark. Maybe she still has feelings for me, Marissa thought.
"Yep, I'm here. Don't need to go on shouting like that," she said with a smile.
"Good, you're being sarcastic, just stay with me ok?" Alex said as the light turned green. A few minutes later they had arrived to the emergency entrance of the hospital.
Alex entered the hospital with Marissa in her arms, as she was drifting off again.
"Hey! I need help!" Alex shouted to no one in her particular.
"What happened dear?" A nurse asked trying to calm the young girl down.
"My friend, she hit her head and then she got really dizzy and began to loose conscienceless." Alex was talking only looking at Marissa.
"OK, I'll call the doctor, but you need to calm down."
"Yeah, whatever, just help her please?" Alex completely dismissed the nurse's suggestion.
The doctor ran up to the nurse, Alex, and Marissa and introduced himself.
"Hello, I'm doctor Maida, what seems to have happened here?" the doctor asked as he began to inspect Marissa, as Alex explained again what happened to Marissa.
"Let's just put her in a wheelchair and you can fill out some paperwork, and she'll be out of her before you know it."
"Yeah, as long as she gets better," Alex said as her voice began to crack from all the emotion.
A few hours later
Alex was pacing around the hospital asking how Marissa was every 20 minutes, and trying not to visualize the worst case scenario every 5 seconds. Alex went up to the main desk and asked for the millionth time.
"Is she going to be okay? She's going to be fine right? Can I see her now? I have to see her." Alex asked as her eyes began to water.
"I'm sure she'll be fine dear. Just go sit down and take a deep breath everything will be fine."
"No, I've waited long enough; please just tell me where she is so I can see her."
"Sorry Miss, but I can't do that, you'll have to wait until the doctor confirms her stability."
Fed up and emotionally drained Alex went back to the row of seats and made herself comfortable knowing that she had to be ready for Marissa in the morning. Little did she know what tomorrow would hold for her.
Any good? Please review.
