Majobloem - I've thought about Rikki's dad & I'm just thinking that for some reason, he hasn't been able to fly out from her aunties house, but he's probably dying with wanting to see her!

WALIEXELA - Hahaha at the coffee! I'm a bit like that too! No problem for the sneak peek! You earnt it & you'll see why that at the end of this chap that it's hard for me to say stuff without giving away the ending! ;) PS - Your song-fic will be up this week hopefully!

I'm also doing another small competition at the end of this chapter again. I'll inbox the winners with their prize!

Enjoy this chapter and PLEASE review!

Chapter Nineteen: Goodbye?

Bella's POV

The weather the next day was quite cold and dreary, but that didn't stop my happiness that Rikki was awake.

Will woke up first, then I did and we talked together for a while.

Emma woke up next and the 3 of us continued the conversation that Emma and I were having about travelling yesterday, because Will had been all over the place too.

Half an hour later, both Lewis and Cleo woke up too, within a few minutes of each other.

Will managed to whip up some bacon & eggs for us all, from the stuff that was in his boat shed.

Although I didn't say anything and I just ate them, the bacon & eggs were absolutely awful!

It was a very good reminder for me that I don't love Will for his cooking skills!

After breakfast, we decided to head back to the hospital and see how Rikki is.

The walk to the hospital took us about 20 or 25 minutes to get there. When we arrived, we checked with the receptionist where Rikki was in case she'd been moved, which she had.

She's in Level 7 now, which is just a normal ward, and she was just being kept under observation.

We walked to the lift that we're becoming pretty familiar with.

Will pressed the '7' button & we had that weird escalating feeling.

When the feeling stopped, there was a 'ding' and the large steel doors automatically opened.

Cleo & Lewis stepped out together, then Emma, then Will & I.

To find Rikki's room, we had to take so many turns that I wouldn't have a clue of how to get back out of there again!

Finally we found the door number, with a temporary name 'Rikki Chadwick' stuck next to it.

Her door was open and I heard 2 loud voices coming from inside. We walked in, and saw Rikki on the bed looking cranky and I could just see the back of Zane's head.

"Morning" we all said, well different variations of it anyway!

Rikki smiled when she saw us and said "Hey! No chance you've brought food?"

She was looking much brighter than yesterday when she was all groggy and in pain.

We looked at each other weirdly before I said jokingly "What? Don't hospitals supply food anymore?"

Rikki pointed to a table with serving tray with about 3 bowls full of food, and said disgustedly "That is not food!"

Zane turned around to look at us, and when his girlfriend said that, he just rolled his eyes and said "She took 2 mouthfuls… which I had to force-feed to her and now she's refusing to eat the rest."

"How long ago was breakfast served?" Lewis asked, but I don't think he was really that interested in Rikki & Zane's whining at each other.

"An hour ago" Rikki said, glaring at Zane.

She was definitely back to normal!'

"Are you serious? You two have been fighting about breakfast for an hour!" I said laughing at them both, who just looked at each other, giving each other looks that were blaming each other.

They just don't stop do they?

Two hours of talking went by, and partway through a conversation, Rikki whinged saying "I'm so bored!"

Lewis jokingly said "Glad to see you appreciate our company Rikki!"

Ignoring Lewis' comment, Zane added "You've only been awake for like a couple of hours!"

Rikki rolled her eyes "I've been stuck in this room for the last 4 days!"

"You were in a coma Rikki, you can't have been that bored" Will said amused by his close friends logic.

"Yeah well, just the thought of doing or saying nothing and not moving for 4 days is making me feel bored!" Rikki said like it was the most obvious thing ever.

Everyone in the room began laughing at Rikki and her drama-queening.

Does that girl overreact or what?

A little while later, Rikki asked us, but particularly Zane, "How's the café been? 'Cause I know you can't live without me!"

Zane scratched his hair thinking of what to say, probably not wanting Rikki to know he'd been wallowing for the last few days.

"Well, I temporarily closed it for while you're here."

Rikki rolled her eyes and said "Haven't we got staff for a reason? How are we meant to keep the café afloat when there's no business?"

Zane shrugged and said sheepishly "I don't know… I suppose I should sort it out, but I don't really want to leave you."

Rikki's voice sounded sweet & cute when she started talking, but her voice got firmer as she lectured Zane. "Zane, Zane, Zane my beautiful boyfriend. That's very sweet, but I'm 17 YEARS old… not 17 MONTHS old. Besides, the others are here, so I don't need you."

Zane chuckled, "Way to let a guy down nicely Rikki!"

Rikki shrugged, acting sweet again "I tried."

Zane held onto her hand as he said "Are you sure I should go?"

Rikki sighed exhaustedly and said "Zane, when have I ever not been sure about something?"

Zane stood up as he said "Fine! I get the picture! I'm going. Love you."

Zane leant down and kissed Rikki, before he walked out of the door and as he left, Zane said to us others in the room that he and Rikki had been accidently ignoring "I'll be an hour tops. Call me if you need me."

Rikki replied instantly, way before we had a chance to. "Which we don't"

Zane walked out of the room smiling at his girlfriend's feist.

An hour went by, and Rikki started looking a little worse than when we first arrived. She started to zone out during our conversations, and her already pale skin was getting lighter and lighter.

"Rikki are you alright? Do you want me to call Zane" I asked looking at her concerned, she was visibly not alright, but I asked even though I knew she would insist that nothing was wrong & she was fine.

"No Bella I'm fine" she said, giving me a small smile.

I looked at Will, waiting to get his attention, to see what he thought.

Eventually he looked at me, and we had a small conversation with our eyes and expressions.

In the end Will said "Lewis, should we go out and grab some lunch for the girls? Lunchtime's almost over, so they must be starving."

Lewis nodded and said "Yeah Will that's a good idea."

I waited for Rikki to say something about bringing some food back for her too, but she didn't say anything.

She must be feeling really awful!

"Any preferences girls?" Will asked, and again I waited for Rikki to say something, but she didn't.

Emma, Cleo & I just shook our heads, and with that, our boys left.

Cleo , Emma & I moved our chairs closer to Rikki's bed while she yawned. Once I was comfortable, I proceeded to get my phone out and text Will .

'Hey, do u think I we shuld call Zane?' I wrote and sent the message.

Under a minute later, I felt the vibration of my phone that was sitting in my pocket.

I subtly got it out while Cleo was talking to Rikki.

'Dunno, I thought if Lewis & I left, the space might b betta 4 her. Wait till we come back & we'll c then Xx' Was written on the electronic screen.

I simply replied 'K' before I put my phone away and tuned into what Emma & Rikki were saying.

Even in those few minutes of texting Will, I noticed how much Rikki appeared to be getting worse. I almost pulled my phone back out to tell Will. I was starting to panic now, my heart was beating noticeably faster & my stomach was knotting itself. I didn't know what to do.

"Rikki are you sure you're alright? Tell me the truth" I said to her, looking at her firmly.

She yawned and said "I'm okay I just feel a bit tired."

I looked at Cleo, who was looking at me. "Are you sure that's all? We can get the doctor."

Rikki nodded and said "I'm fine! You guys are getting worse than Zane!"

I looked at Cleo and Emma, and I could tell they weren't convinced either, but what could we do?

We didn't say much for the next 10 or 20 minutes, and when Rikki spoke, no-one had in the last 5 or so minutes.

"Goodbye" she said, and if I wasn't sitting down, I would've been crushed to the ground.

What a cliffy! ;) Hahahaha!

Will Rikki be okay? Or is this goodbye?
