I had a bit of spare time on my hands so managed to get the next chapter written. Thank you for all the amazing reviews, they are fab! Hope you like this chapter

Sian POV

My life felt unlike my own as I sat next to an unconscious Sophie in the ambulance. She looked frail but still beautiful even though she was covered in blood. The paramedics had strapped her into a next brace making her look slightly alien. All I could do was hold her hand. Hold her hand and pray that she was going to be ok.

When we got to the hospital she was rushed out of my sight leaving a nurse to explain the situation to me.

"The doctors are just checking that your friend hasn't had any serious head injuries or problems to her spine. They're going to do a CT scan on her brain and that will give us some more information."

"But she's going to be ok?" I stammered.

"Hopefully," the nurse said to me with a smile, "but if she has done damage to her brain there could be some serious or life threatening consequences."

"No, please, no, she has to be ok. This is all my fault."

"Try not to blame yourself," she said soothingly, "you did all you can and got the ambulance there immediately."

"It's still my fault," I muttered quietly. It was

"There is another cause for concern," the nurse said, "Does your friend drink a lot? We need all the information we can get."

"Not that I know about. Honestly, it really isn't like her." The nurse gave me another soothing look.

"I've called Sophie's mother so she's on her way now. Take a seat there, she shouldn't be too long."

As I sat down the realisation of the situation hit me. Sophie could die. She may never get to know that I love her. She may never get to realise that she is the most important person in my world. I finally realised how stupid I had been. I hadn't let my feelings for Sophie in because I was a coward. I was scared that I wouldn't be good enough for her. I was scared of the intensity of my feelings for her. I was scared because every relationship I've seen has fucked up. But really I'd messed this one up without even giving it a chance. And now, finally, I had realised what I had done. I may never get my Sophie back and it was all my fault. The only person in the world that I had truly loved. As I sat realising the severity of the situation Sally came running towards me.

"Sian, Sian. What happened? Is she going to be ok?"

"I'm so sorry Mrs Webster. I tried to get her home safely. I found her in the park and she was... was," I stuttered on whether to tell her Mum the truth but I guessed she would find out anyway, "she was drunk. She wouldn't let me take her home. I tried calling you but she ran off before I got the chance. When I found her again she shoved me then walked backwards onto the road. A car hit her straight away."

Sally looked stunned, "she was drunk?"

"Yeah," I said sadly. I may be brave enough to finally admit my feelings for Sohpie to myself but there was no way I was gonna tell Sally about what had gone on between us.

"Mrs Webster, I'm so so sorry. I tried to get her home but I couldn't manage. Hate me all you want I don't mind."

"Sian sweetheart I don't hate you. The only thing that matters now is that Sophie is ok. Has anyone told you anything?"

"Only that they are taking her for test to see the damage her brain is in," I answered weakly.

We sat in silence for a long time until Sally finally spoke.

"The problems between me and her Dad have really got to her. This is my fault."

"Sally you can't blame yourself. It's my fault, me and Sophie fell out and I haven't been there for her when she's needed me. I did this."

Sally looked at me then shook her head. "It's got to be a number of things that have got to her. Rosie's moved down to London for a while too. I know she misses her."

"I guess," I said to her, "but now no matter what it takes I'm gonna be there for her. I promise."

"I know you will. Let's just hope we have her here so we can both make it up to her."

On movies they always say when you're waiting for news time passes slowly. In reality it's not quite like that. Time was passing in an excruciatingly slow blur. I couldn't concentrate on anything and every time I looked at the clock I swear it had gone backwards. Kevin, Sophie's Dad, finally joined us. I could feel the hostility between Sally and Kevin but nothing kicked off. They were both just worried about their daughter. My head was in my hands. This was the most terrified I had ever felt.

When I looked up at the clock for what felt like the millionth time I noticed the nurse from earlier make her way towards us. All 3 of us stood up bracing ourselves for the news she was about to hit us with. I was shaking.

"It's mostly good news," the nurse said to us smiling, "the CT scan shows that she hasn't got any severe brain damage or overly complex problems. Unfortunately she has fractured her skull so we will need to keep her in for a while to keep a watch on it. It's an open fracture which can easily get infected so she has to take antibiotics to minimise that risk. She also broke her arm due to the way she landed."

"But she's going to be ok?" Kevin asked.

"The doctor says she was extremely lucky but he says it's almost certain she'll make a full recovery."

"Almost certain?" I asked bravely.

"With head injuries you can't always be sure but honestly even though it doesn't seem like it a cracked skull is one of the best outcomes she could have got. At the moment she's unconscious but two of you can go through and see her."

Sophie's parents followed the nurse. She led them into the room where Sophie was lying unconscious. I followed behind them leaving them to go in. I could see Sophie through the window and once again all I could notice was her beauty. Even when she was dressed in a hospital gown and had wires running in her to monitor her stability she still looked gorgeous. I don't know how I never noticed it before. I looked down at my watch realising it was 10 o'clock. I couldn't believe in the last few hours I had nearly lost her. It had finally put everything into perspective.

A while later Kevin and Sally came out into the corridor.

"We're going to go get a coffee. Do you want to go in and see her while we're away?"

"Yeah, thanks," I answered back nervously.

"Oh and Sian have you told your parents your here? I just realised they'll be worried sick."

"Yeah I text my Dad and he said he would come get me whenever but I wasn't going to leave till I knew she was gonna be ok."

"She'll be fine Sian. Once you've seen her you should head home. You've gone through a lot today." I nodded towards them but secretly I had no intention to go anywhere. Once they had gone I composed myself ready to see Sophie. Once in the room I could really see the damage from the accident. She had bruises down her side and scratches all over her face; her head was bandaged with a light dressing. It broke my heart seeing her look so broken. Before sitting down on the chair next to her I placed a timid kiss on the tip of her nose. I was scared to touch her anymore in case I made any of her injuries any worse. Once I settled down in the chair the nurse from earlier came in.

"You can talk to her you know. It might help her come round if she hears a familiar voice."

"I don't really know what to say," I said truthfully.

"Just talk to her about something she cares about. Anything really." The nurse finished whatever she was dong leaving me and Sophie alone in the room.

"Hey Soph. It's me." I said hopelessly. "I know I'm not one of your favourite people at the moment but I just need you to wake up." I wasn't sure on what else to say but I decided on practising telling the truth. If she was gonna be ok, sooner or later I was going to have to tell her this.

"Look Sophie, I have been a world class idiot. No I've been worse than that. You're my best friend in the entire world and I can't believe how much I have messed up. I shouldn't have lied to you. I should have just told you the truth but I was scared. You make me feel like I have never felt before. Yeah these feelings do scare me but I should have talked to you about them rather than running away. But tonight I almost lost you. And well... well I just need to tell you

I Love you."

I looked over at her and what met my eyes shocked me I could see her lips moving trying to form words. She was coming round.

"I... I...," she struggled, "I love you too, when you're not being an idiot."
