I Just wanted to say a quick thank you to all of you who have reviewed the story so far. I want to say an even BIGGER thank you to all of you who review regularly, it really realy really means alot! so THANKS! I know there's not been much of Sophie and Sian as a couple but I wanted to try and keep it all realistic! Anyway enough of me rambling!


Sian POV

A tiny smile lit across my face as she said those words but I wiped it off as quickly as it had arose.

"Sssssh Soph. Don't talk, I'm just gonna buzz for the nurse."

"Nurse? Wh-what happened?" She asked. Her voice was deep and hoarse from being unused.

"You were in an accident. But you're gonna be ok." As I said this I pressed on the buzzer for the nurse. Within 30 seconds she had arrived.

"Sophie," she said brightly, "we didn't expect you to be awake so soon. This is very good though." Sophie continued to look confused; it all must be quite disorientating.

"I'm just going to get the doctor Sophie so he can check over you." The nurse left the room leaving me and a confused Sophie.

"What did I do?"

"You, you, erm, you got drunk. Then you walked out in front of a car by mistake. I'm so sorry, I tried to save you but I couldn't. It all happened so quickly."

"I'm still confused though," she said to me gruffly.

"What are you confused about?"

"Why are you here? I thought you hated me?" I looked at her with shock in my eyes but before I got a chance to say anything the nurse came back in the room followed by the doctor.

This conversation would have to wait.

Sophie POV

I could see the shock in her eyes as I asked her this; but why should she be shocked? I thought it was obvious that she hated me. My mind tried to race back to what she had been saying as I woke up but I couldn't quite grasp it. My mind was too jumbled to grasp what she's said.

Before she got the chance to answer the doctor and nurse came into the room.

"Nice to see you're awake," the doctor said, "you've had a very lucky escape."

"What's exactly wrong with me?" I asked him. I just realised I had no idea the damage the car had done. All I knew was that I had a pumping sore head.

"You're got a fractured skull and a broken arm. Hopefully there are no other complications. I just need to run some test on you now that you're awake to check everything is in working order." I let the doctor work on me checking that everything vital was working. I didn't mean to feel ungrateful but all I wanted to do was talk to Sian.

"You seem to be in complete working order there sophie other then the cracked skull and broken arm. Like I said you're a lucky lucky girl."

"How long will it take this all to heal?" Sian asked nervously. I felt my heart lighten slightly; atleast she cared.

"Well the broken arm is a very common one. It'll probably take about 6 weeks to heal properly. You'll have to keep a cast on for the majority of that time. You're skull on the other hand doesn't need any treatment. Now the outside bleeding has stopped we can take off the dressing we have on it. We'll have to keep you in for a few days because head injuries aren't to be taken lightly. But I have to say I think you're going to be just fine." He left after giving me a few more instructions and the nurse said she'd go get my parents to tell them I was awake.

Once again Sian and I were left alone. I felt groggy and tired but her being there helped. I still couldn't forget all the shit she had put me through, all the stuff with her sleeping with Ryan still really hurt but at the moment I was just happy to be back on speaking terms with her. I turned around to look at her but when I met her eyes I could see sparkling tears in her eyes.

"Come over here," I said to her gently. It was awkward between us because we were both avoiding the conversation that would eventually have to come but now defiantly wasn't the right time or place. I held out my good arm to her to show I wanted a cuddle. She hesitated for a second looking scared she would hurt me but she knelt beside my bed and wrapped her arms around me. For the first time in a month I got to smell her beautiful unique smell. The smell that made me feel happy.

"I've missed you," she said crying properly now, "so much."

"Sophie you're awake!" I heard my Mum's voice from the door. Sian stepped away from me quickly and wiped her tears away so they couldn't see she'd been crying. My Mum rushed over to me and took my non broken arm in her hand.

"Heya Sophie," my Dad said also coming into the room, "you gave us all quite a scare." I couldn't believe they were both in the same room together. Only 2 weeks ago I had heard my Mum scream at my Dad saying she never wanted to see him again.

"I'm sorry," I said to them both sincerely.

"Why were you drinking?" Mum asked me gently.

"Not now eh Sal. We'll save that question for when she's feeling a little stronger." I smiled at Dad thanking him for saving me from any awkward questions at the moment. We all stayed in silence for a while until Mum finally spoke.

"Sian love you can get off now. You know that she's safe so you might as well go get some sleep." Sian looked slightly panicked.

"No really Mrs Webster. I'm ok here."

"Don't worry Sian there's no point now. We can look after her from here." Sian still looked unhappy but she nodded in agreement with my Mother. I felt completely miserable that Sian was going. I wanted to stay here all night with her. Sian turned and looked at me sadly.

"I'll come see you tomorrow Sophie." She couldn't say anything more with my parents in the room so she left quite quickly.

This was gonna be a very long night.

Sian POV

There was no way I was leaving the hospital. I'd left her too often lately when she needed me most. I wasn't going to make that mistake again. I went back out into the main waiting area and found myself a corner of the room where no one could see I was still there. Relief coursed through my system. The doctor said she was going to be alright. I now had a chance to rectify me and Sophie's relationship. I could put it all right. I wasn't really sure what right was though. I knew that that I loved her but I still had no control over the powerful feelings I had for her and I hated not being in control. Whatever was going to happen between us I knew that after the past month I couldn't not have her in my life. She would always be my best friend.

I text my Dad to tell him I wouldn't be home tonight and that I was staying with Sophie. He didn't put up any fuss. There were only two things that bothered my Dad one was women; after his and mum's messy marriage he hadn't managed to move on and the other was me dating.

Sophie's parents left at about 12 o'clock. I saw them leave through the main hospital door. That meant Sophie was in her room on her own. I didn't like the idea of her being alone but I knew I couldn't go see her. I wasn't family so one of the nurses would kick me out. I also knew that me staying here was pretty pointless but I couldn't just leave. Even though she had no idea I was here it made me feel better. As if I was finally making a brave effort to show how much she meant to me.

I drifted in and out of sleep for the rest of the night. Most people were too wrapped up in their own family problems so they didn't give me a second glance which suited me just fine. By 8 o'clock in the morning I decided it was a reasonable hour to go check and see if Sophie was ok. I didn't know what the visiting hours were but if the nurses caught me I would just come back to the waiting area. I made my way to the room she was staying in. Before I walked in I looked through the little window and saw that she was fast asleep. I quietly snuck into the room so I didn't wake her and sat on the chair next to her bed. She looked so peaceful and I had no intention to disturb her. As I watched her sleep without getting bored I realised I was in deep shit. Being fascinated by her tiny movements she made while sleeping really did mean I cared about her.

After about half an hour I noticed Sophie begin to stir. I felt butterflies in my stomach when I realised that it was once again just going to be me and her. She opened her beautiful eyes. It took her about a minute to realise I was in the room.

"Sian? What time is it?"

"Dunno, like half 8 or something."

"Are you even allowed here at this time?" she asked groggily.

"Dunno," I said again, "I'll leave if you want."

"No," she said hastily, "you just caught me off guard."

"Sorry."

"It's ok," she said lightly.

"I wasn't talking about that." I answered bravely.

"Oh," she said gently.

"Sophie I am so sorry. I've treated you awfully. I wasn't there for you when you needed me most and I don't deserve your forgiveness. But please, this last month has been shit without you. I really miss you and..."

"Sian. Stop it," she said cutting me off, "you don't need to apologise. We're friends ok? And friends forgive each other." She sounded quite blunt and I felt slightly disappointed that she didn't want to discuss what had happened between us more but I was just relieved that she had forgiven me.

Sophie POV

I listened to her apology but I realised I didn't want to really talk about what had happened. She would only run off again if our kiss came up in conversation so I cut her off before she got a chance.

"Sian. Stop it, you don't need to apologise. We're friends ok? And friends forgive each other." I realised I was being blunt but I didn't want to lose her again. I knew she could never love me like I loved her so I made it easy for her and exaggerated the point of us just being friends. There was an awkward moment between us before Sian cut the silence.

"How are you feeling anyway?"

"My heads still banging and I'm aching everywhere but I guess I'm lucky that that's all that is wrong."

"Yeah I guess you're right but still I don't like seeing you hurt." I smiled slightly at her sentence. She did seem to genuinely care.

"Did you get home ok last night?" She hesitated slightly before answering.

"Yeah fine." She looked slightly shifty as she spoke. I took her in properly and realised she was wearing the same clothes she had on last night. Her hair was messy and she looked tired.

"Sian, why are you wearing the same clothes as yesterday?"

"Oh am I? I didn't notice."

"Oh really?" I answered with a smirk.

"Really."

"Really?" I was finding it difficult to keep a straight face.

"Fine you win! I didn't go home, I stayed in the waiting room all night." Somehow I had already worked that out so it didn't shock me but I still felt my heart strings tug dramatically. God she was so cute.

"Thank you," I said lightly.

"For what?"

"For caring." We stared at each other for a long time. Her eyes mesmerised me and I didn't want to drop my gaze.

The door opened finally making us look away from each other.

"Morning Sophie," my Mum said brightly, "how are you feeling today?"

"Just a bit sore."

"Oh Hi Sian you're here early." She stated.

"Yeah I couldn't sleep," Sian lied.

I couldn't help but feel happy as I lay in the hospital bed. Sian had hurt me. I wasn't sure if she was still with Ryan but if she was I knew that would continue to hurt me. I could deal with that though. As long as she was still in my life I could deal with anything.
