Hey Guys! Here's the new chapter I promised! It's another kinda slow one but there's a lot of foreshadowing for drama to come. I added a little bit of Kara/Bee time into the mix to show you all how their relationship has evolved and as promised, I'm starting to bring in the LOVE. In this chapter you guys will meet Hayden, another OC made by me who will play a big part in the rest of the story. He's not sick like any of the other kids at Ocean Park so without giving too many spoilers I present to all of my lovely readers, Chapter Eighteen: Hey There Hayden ;) (wink intended)

I'm back in my room now. Well actually it's not really my same room because it's been stripped clean of anything dangerous, which surprisingly is a lot. They gave Ivy a new room and they've managed to keep her away from me pretty well, assuming the tension between us was one of my 'triggers'

I haven't seen much of the Red Banders except for that one day they came to visit. I'm totally convinced by now they are trying to avoid me, except I keep thinking I remember seeing Jordi by my bed one day playing guitar. I don't know if it was the drug induced haze I was in or a dream but I can still hear his clear beautiful voice in my head.

They've kept me under lock and key lately, I haven't been allowed to leave my room unless it was for an appointment. Even then I was still escorted to and from by a Nurse Brittany or Kenjii. I've still been meeting with Dr. Heart, sadly, as they try to figure out my 'motive' and 'triggers', that's all they seem to care about in my opinion. I don't talk to her, like before which frustrates all the doctors. I also have been extra aware of what I eat, testing out my new form of self harm. It's not hard to eat very little because I have had such a lack of appetite. They bring food to my room and I always either wrap it in tissues or flush it down the toilet. It's kinda fun to be honest. Watching mush swirl down the white porcelain toilet while the hunger pangs in my stomach grow stronger.

Today would be my third day back, I think. My concussion causes me to sleep a whole lot so I kinda lose track of the days. I was supposed to start school the Monday after last weekend. Since the incident occurred on the Friday before I never really got a chance. Now that my head is all screwed up they are putting it off even longer, saying things like too much going around me will be too overwhelming and that I won't be able to retain much anyway. I personally think they just want to keep a tight rein around me until they think I'm stable.

I'm not going to say I feel better, quite honestly I feel worse. I feel like a failure, there's nothing else to it. I hate being locked up and having all these people worry about me, I just want to be left alone to die. I know, dramatic, but still. Yet despite all of these awful feelings I have locked up inside of me, there's still that social butterfly that keeps flapping her damn wings around in my stomach and driving me nuts. I don't do isolation well, I think it's time to go on an adventure.

I swing my legs off my bed quickly which gives me a head rush. After taking a few deep breaths I get up and sneak quickly over to my door. I click on my phone to check the time. They tried to take it away from me saying that the bright screen would be too much on my head but somehow I managed to sneak it back, don't ask how. They normally come to check on me every 10 to 15 minutes. It's 1:38 right now, which means I either have 2 or 7 minutes to spare. Should I risk it? Hell, yeah.

I glance tentatively down the hallways, double checking to make sure no one is coming before taking off full sprint towards the service elevator. I make it inside without being caught, running was such an awful idea, my head feels like an earthquake just shook up my entire brain. Between this throbbing in my head, the sleek feeling of my phone in my pocket and the thrill of breaking the rules gives me this awesome adrenaline rush and I click the first random elevator button I see.

Time Skip

Is this supposed to be fate or is the universe just trying to punish me for escaping? Somehow I have found myself in the doorway to Kara's room, I've never been here before so I'm surprised that I've found it. She doesn't notice me at first. It must be the stupid concussion that keeps me from using common sense when I speak up.

"Kara." I greet. She doesn't even lift her gaze.

"Bee." She acknowledges, the first time I think she's ever used my real name. She doesn't even say it in a shocked way or even harshly, just as a greeting. I turn my gaze over to a young boy who is asleep in a bed next to Kara's. I slowly walk over beside him.

"Who's this little guy." I whisper reaching out gently to brush some hair out of his eyes.

"That's Charlie," She answers, her voice normal tone. "He's in a coma." My hand connect with his forehead and a bright image flashes across my mind. It's of my mother, in her own hospital bed. Her eyes are closed just like the young boy's in front of me. The vision is gone as soon as it start and I quickly draw my hand back, startled. I look down at the boy before shaking my head and walking over to where Kara sat on her bed.

I didn't dare sit beside her, I'm not that stupid. So instead I sit over on the window sill, turning to face her. She raises her eyes from her phone for a split second before addressing me.

"Is there a reason you're here?" She asks, again not in a mean way, more out of curiosity.

"Well, you seem to be the realest bitch here so why not." I snark back reflecting on when everyone pretended to be my friend her attitude towards me was genuine.

"You're telling me things I already know." She laughs. "But seriously, haven't you been under Nurse J's hawk eyes or something. For once she isn't in here every second of the day."

"Why yes Kara, I am, but one can only take the blank white hospital walls around her for so long before they go crazy." I answer sarcastically.

"You already are crazy." She states. I pause, this is true, shockingly true.

"All the best people are." I attempt quietly.

"Don't go all Alice In Wonderland on me. My nanny-turned-step-mom Disneys me enough as it is." There's something I'm seriously missing about Kara but I'm not here to pry.

"Do you have any beer?" I ask blatantly. This snaps her attention up.

"Are you serious" She exclaims and I nod. "I never thought I'd ever see Miss Goody-Goody ask me for a drink." She haphazardly throws open a drawer on her bedside table and hands me a bottle.

"How do you not get these things confiscated?" I ask snapping open the lid. I take a big gulp from the cool glass bottle and grimace. I never liked the taste of alcohol but I need something to calm my frazzled nerves since they've taken me off almost all of my medications to avoid it messing with my concussion. Kara doesn't reply to me but returns to her phone. I sit and sip at the drink quietly looking out her window absently.

Once I finish the drink I place the bottle on the window sill where I had been sitting and make my way back towards my room. My body feels warm and raw from the drink, my first whole glass of beer, but surprisingly I'm pretty stable.

"Bee," Kara stops me. I turn to face her. "If you see Hunter tell him to come find me." I nod and sneak back into the elevator, back up to the fifth floor. I'm not paying attention when I walk out though, because I bump into someone.

"Sorry!" I gasp placing my hands over my mouth apologetically before realizing who I bumped into. "Oh. Hey! Hunter, Kara was looking for you." I say taking a few steps back. The figure turns around and I realize I've made a mistake. Although the body frame and hair is super similar to Hunter's, the face is much more round compared to Hunter's square one. Also me and my weird eye fetish realize that his eyes are a gorgeous hazel. Brown-green eyes rimmed in grey-blue, mesmerizing compared to Hunter's deep chocolate ones.

"I'm actually Hayden." He laughs. Oh my God his laugh is perfect, like perfectly perfection perfect. I give a small smile as he extends his hand to me. I shake it gleefully.

"I'm really sorry, I thought you were someone else." I sigh with an embarrassed chuckle.

"It's fine, a lot of people get us confused. Me and Hunter that is." He states. My eyes widen.

"Wait are you two related?" I ask shocked. He looks somewhat uncomfortable answering, no not uncomfortable, just hesitant.

"Uh, yeah. We're brothers." He replies looking away for split second. We both kinda stand there awkwardly for a moment. He's sooo hot I'm like melting. His preppy attire at least gives me the impression he's not as much of a jerk as Hunter is.

"Sorry again." I mumble quietly lowering my gaze to hide my burning cheeks. "Is there anything I can do to make it up to you? I know when people would get me and my sister confused I would get so mad." I ramble anxiously getting a small laugh from Hayden.

"Actually, I am looking for someone." He states almost as if he doesn't want me to leave. "You might know her." Your soulmate? Yeah I know her, her name is Bee.

"Okay," I reply. "What's her name?" I ask a smile growing on my lips.

"Um something along the lines of -" He begins.

"Phoebe Johnson!" Nurse Jackson's voice shouts from down the hall. Shit.

"Oh yeah! That sounds about right." Hayden perks up. You have got to be kidding me.

"What are you doing?" She demands marching up to me. "You are not supposed to leave your room." She reprimands lowering her voice. I roll my eyes

"I was helping someone." I state crossing my arms defiantly. Her eyes drift to Hayden.

"Mr. Cole. I apologize for the inconvenience. Bee, here was supposed to be in her room." She remarks.

"It's no worries Nurse Jackson." He flashes her a bright smile. "In a way she found me, makes my job easier seeming I tend to get lost pretty easily." He charms.

"Omg me too!" I trill, not even 5 minutes of knowing this guy I'm already making a fool of myself. Instead of ignoring me or making the awkward situation more awkward he extends his arm to give me a high give which I have to jump to reach.

"You both are going to be late with all this goofing around." Nurse Jackson clicks her tongue.

"Late for what?" I ask dumbfounded.

"Group therapy." Nurse J answers.

"Noooo," I groan but Nurse Jackson shushes me.

"Don't worry," Hayden says putting an arm around me playfully. "You and I can have some fun together." He's flirting, he's definitely flirting with me!

"Wait a second, why are you going?" I question turning to him.

"I have a twin brother on the brink of death don't I?" He replies quietly.

Bam! Yep that's right guys, Hunter has a twin brother who just happens to be as hot if not more than him! Bee is totally falling for him but in a different way than with Jordi, I'll be sure to go better into detail about her feelings in the next chapter. I hope you all took note of what happened between Bee and Charlie, even though it seems like a small occurrence it will play a big part later on. I need to shut my big mouth before I give too much away!

Also if any of you have heard they are bringing RBS back on Jan 31 to air the last 3 episodes. I think the next date for another episode is like Feb 7th or something but they are bringing it back even if it is just to air the last three episodes :(. However, FOX still says there's . Don't forget to sign the petition at p/fox-keep-red-band-society-on-the-air They only need about 6,000 more signatures compare to the 7,000 they needed on Monday when I posted last. Spread the word! I hope you all have a great rest of the week, I will be off Monday so that means more time for writing! Check back soon!

Lots of Love - Britt
