Chapter Thirteen: No Words

Bella's POV

We spent half an hour in her room, sitting in silence. I don't know about the others, but I felt so drained, and mentally, physically & emotionally exhausted.

We decided to go out and wake up Zane, or else he would be awake all night and that way he can go and see Rikki on his own too and he wouldn't get too angry with us for not waking him.

We walked out of her room into the waiting room where Zane was still fast asleep on the chair. Lewis then walked over and tapped his shoulder saying "Zane, Zane."

Zane gave a small moan before he sat up realizing where he was and why he was here.

"Zane, Rikki isn't awake, but you can see her" Lewis said after he woke up a bit more.

He stood up straight away and we pointed to her room before he darted in; a totally different entrance to our one earlier.

We all took a seat, and about 5 minutes later Will stood up and said 'Coffee?" to us.

He got 3 nods in return, before he walked off in the direction of the cafeteria.

We heard Cleo's phone go off. She pulled it out & read the message, before saying "Emma just got on the plane. She should be here 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Lewis & I nodded while Cleo began texting back to her and then returning her mobile to her shorts' pocket & the corridor returned to silence.

A couple of minutes later Will returned with 4 white Styrofoam cups, steam gushing out of the sip lid.

He distributed the cups to Lewis who was furthest from Will's own seat, then to Cleo & then me.

As he passed me the small white foam cup, the warmth instantly flowed through my hands. The warmth was nice after being in such a cold, sad environment & atmosphere for so long, with all the sad thoughts & feelings. It was a welcomed warmth.

As I drank my coffee slowly, I rested my head further back against the wall as I slumped in my seat. I sat there helplessly as my mind replayed the horrific moment of when I saw Rikki at the scene of the accident, when Cleo & I were on our way to Mako.

I couldn't make my mind stop.

Thankfully though, I was interrupted.

"You okay?" Will asked softly in the seat next to me.

I just shrugged. There aren't any words to describe how I felt right now.

I think Will knew how I felt, maybe he felt the same as I was, because he gave me the thing I needed most right now; a comforting hug.

Just a bit of a filler chapter, but it's all part of the emotional journey with Rikki's accident and how they all cope differently. Cleo is very soft & sensitive, so she broke down immediately; You don't hear much about Lewis; Will was being strong mostly until his little breakdown a few chapters ago; Zane was a mess & Bella was a bit of both.

Anyway, if you want the next chapter then please review, and I'll update this + my other stories soon! :)
