Chapter 17 Part 2:
While at lunch, the group explained what they knew about Mitchie's condition to Connie and Steve. They had decided to just get their own food from shops nearby and meet back at the garden outside the hospital.
Most of them just bought something simple like sandwiches or a burger. The entire group of 24 people met at the garden half an hour later. Caitlyn and Ella were with their boyfriends while the rest of the 6B girls chatted.
After a little while, Caitlyn and Ella joined them. The other members moved to make some space for the both of them .There was silence for a while.
"How was Mitchie?" Chelsea inquired, breaking the stillness. Caitlyn and Ella exchanged looks and told the rest of their friends what Mitchie had related to them. The 17 6B girls remained silent.
Chelsea and Jenna looked at each other, guilt in their eyes. Jenna sobbed slightly. "What's wrong Jenna?" A very concerned Sally asked her friend. Jenna sighed and dried her tears before speaking. "I should not have teased Mitchie back in the common room before the prank. She was depressed and I added to her depression!" She explained.
"Don't feel guilty about this Jenna. Everyone makes mistakes." Darrell told her friend, placing her hand on her shoulder. "Yeah Jenna. I am sure Mitchie does not blame you for anything." Ella chimed in.
"Thanks guys." Jenna whispered, although on the inside she still felt extremely bad. "I know what will make you better Jenna." Caitlyn spoke up, a smirk planted on her face. Jenna stood up and staggered backwards. "Oh no Gellar... I don't like that smirk." She said, biting her lower lip.
Caitlyn laughed. "Hey Jason! Get over here!" Ella yelled out, knowing what her friend's plan was and who it involved. Nate and Jason looked puzzled and they walked over, even though Ella only called for Jason.
"What 'sup?" Jason inquired when he reached the group of girls, hugging Ella lightly. Nate immediately went over to Caitlyn's side and his arms went around her shoulders. Caitlyn and Ella whispered the plan into Jason's ear. The young man smiled and looked at Jenna, who was still standing up.
"Are you sad Jenna?" He asked, he voice like a 5 year old child. The group of 6B girls giggled, beaming and watching the both of them. Jenna turned to glare at Caitlyn and Ella. The 2 girls shrugged. Jenna didn't want to answer Jason so she just nodded her head.
"I know how to make you feel better." Jason continued, stepping closer. Seconds later, Jason pulled Jenna into a great big bear hug. Jenna would have hugged the young man back, but the mischievous girl had other plans.
Knowing that Jason was famous for his group hugs and that Caitlyn was just barely half a meter away from her, Jenna smirked. Reaching out her hand, she grabbed Caitlyn and tugged hard. The curly haired brunette was taken by surprised and she was dragged into the hug.
When Jason noticed that an extra person had joined the hug, he beamed and said, "GROUP HUG!" He began pulling everyone that was close to him in the hug, starting with Nate and Ella. The rest of the group laughed. One by one, the 6B girls joined in the hug.
It was a comical sight. Nate and Jason hugging 19 other young girls. When Steve, Connie and Miss Fleming saw them, they burst out laughing. Connie even captured a photograph for remembrance sake. Jenna, Caitlyn and Jason were all squashed up like pancakes and requested the others to let go.
Soon, the group of 24 headed back into the hospital. Caitlyn looked at Jenna. Jenna certainly looked happier than before, chatting with the other 6B girls.
Meanwhile, with Shane and Mitchie... Note: Fluffiness arriving...: D
About an hour after the two lovebirds fell asleep, Shane's eyes opened. His brown orbs blinked for a moment, scanning his surroundings. The young man still felt a weight on his shoulders and knew that Mitchie was still fast asleep.
He grinned but knew he had to move his fiancée as he was actually feeling very uncomfortable, sleeping like that in a hospital where anyone could see them. Shane shifted his position and slowly picked Mitchie up bridal style. But that was a wrong thing to do.
Mitchie groaned and opened her brown eyes. "Hey sweetheart. Sorry for waking you." Shane said. Mitchie let out a tiny smile. "It's okay Shane. I was about to wake up anyways." Mitchie shrugged, and started squirming in Shane's arms. The young man chuckled and placed his fiancée back onto the ward bed.
Mitchie smiled at her fiancé. "What time is it?" She inquired, pushing herself up so that she was sitting. Shane glanced at his wrist watch. "It is nearly 1.45pm." He told her. A worried look spreaded onto Mitchie's face. Shane was instantly beside her, concerned. "Are you alright Mitchie?" He asked.
Mitchie gave him a quick hug in reassurance. "I am fine Shane, but are you?" She said. Shane looked puzzled, and sat down on the ward bed as well. "I am sure you have not eaten anything since breakfast." The young woman explained.
Shane chuckled once more and pecked his fiancée on the forehead. "You worry too much Mitchie Torres, do you know that?" He teased. Mitchie bit her lower lip, a light blush covering her cheeks.
"I may be told that a few times..." Mitchie whispered. Shane sent a smile at his fiancée and leaned in. Closer and closer the distance between their lips decreased. Finally, the duo's lips met in a soft and tender loving kiss.
At that moment, the ward door creaked open. A light cough was heard and the couple pulled apart instantly, both blushing furiously. Mitchie turned her head towards the door. A nurse was standing there, a motherly grin on her face. In her hands held a tray with a bowl of porridge.
"It is time for a light snack Michelle." The nurse told Mitchie. The young woman winced at her name and her fiancé had to stiff a chuckle. "Thanks." Mitchie replied, accepting the bowl of warm porridge from the nurse.
The nurse nodded her head and turned to leave. But then she looked at the couple, a twinkle in her eyes. "I know the 2 of you are in love but this is a hospital so be careful." She warned. Mitchie blushed ten shades of crimson again.
"Is it possible if 17 people visit Mitchie at once later on?" Shane asked suddenly. The nurse looked puzzled but quickly covered it up. "Of course it is possible young man. That is, if Michelle is up for it." The nurse answered. Mitchie nodded her head vigorously, not wanting to repeat her story for another few more times.
The nurse grinned and said, "Very well then. But if you feel tired or unwell Michelle, all of them must leave." Shane nodded his head, taking note of the point. "Thank you miss and please call me Mitchie." The young woman said. "Alright. Have a nice day Mitchie." The nurse told her before leaving the room.
The duo sat in silence, Mitchie eating her porridge while Shane was watching her. Not about 5 minutes later, the door burst open once again. The couple's heads shot up.
At the door, were a grinning Caitlyn and Ella as well as Nate and Jason. Mitchie waved to them, since she had porridge in her mouth .Caitlyn's eyes shot up when she saw the bowl of porridge in Mitchie's hands.
"Nice to see that you are eating again Mitchie." Caitlyn commented, eyeing on the bowl of porridge. Mitchie blushed a deep shade of red while the Connect 3 looked puzzled.
"Yeah Mitchie. You hardly ate a couple of days ago." Ella added. Shane was stunned when he heard Ella's statement. "Y....You were starving yourself Mitchie?" He asked his fiancée. Mitchie lowered her head, not daring to look at Shane. "Don't worry; I will not do that again." She whispered.
"Shane, I think you should leave. Connie, Steve and Miss Fleming would like to visit Mitchie and I have your lunch here." Nate informed Shane, holding up a paper bag. Shane nodded his head in understanding. "I'll be back later sweetheart." He promised Mitchie, pecking her lips.
The group of 5 left and the 3 adults entered the room. "Hey mum, dad, Miss Fleming." Mitchie greeted. Connie instantly went to her daughter's side. "How are you feeling sweetie?" She inquired. "I am alright mum." Her daughter replied.
"I am glad you are feeling better Mitchie." Miss Fleming said, a motherly tone in her voice. "Thanks Miss Fleming. And I am sorry I ran away from Alfea." Mitchie told her headmistress. The headmistress walked over and placed her hand on Mitchie's shoulders.
"I know you done it because Sierra is your best friend Mitchie. I don't blame it on you."
Steve: We were very worried Mitchie.
Mitchie: I am so sorry dad.
Steve: I'm just glad you are alright Mitchie.
Mitchie: But seriously, I am sorry for worrying you all. Especially you mum and dad, you guys had to travel all the way here.
Connie: *Hugs Mitchie* It is okay Mitchie. We all care about you.
The group talked for a little longer before Steve and Connie said that they had to leave. "Bye mum, dad. Have a save drive home." Mitchie told her parents, hugging them.
"Thanks sweetie. Get well soon okay?" Connie replied, pecking her daughter's forehead. Mitchie kissed her father's cheeks as well. Miss Fleming offered to see the couple off and the 3 adults left the room.
Mitchie sighed in relief, collapsing onto her pillow. She was happy that none of her parents or her headmistress blamed her for what had happened. Suddenly, the door creaked open and Mitchie snapped out of her trance.
Malory's head poked in, then Jenna, Tori and Brynn's. "Can we all come in?" Jenna asked, looking at Mitchie. The young lady smiled and gestured for them to enter. At once, 17 girls rushed in.
"How are you Mitchie?" Alexia inquired once she closed the door. The room was jammed pack with so many people there that Alexia had a very difficult time squeezing to the center of the room.
"I feel better Alexia, thanks so much." Mitchie answered, reaching over to give her friend a quick hug. Mitchie then turned to face the entire group. "I am so sorry for not telling you about Sierra." She said, lowering her head.
"It is fine Mitch. You needed your time alone. Besides, Caitlyn filled us in already." Malory informed her friend. Mitchie face broke out into a smile. Everyone pulled her into her tight hug.
The group chatted for nearly an hour until Miss Fleming entered the room. "It is time we head back girls." She informed.
I have to end here because this is turning very long. Sorry about the crappy ending. I am so tired now and can't think very well. I'll try to post Chapter 18 in a week. Please read and review!
