I Just Really Wanna Be With You (A Foster the People Fanfiction)

Hate

MARK'S POV

I sat back in my chair as Cal woke up this morning. Ever since I found out that I was out of my body, I haven't been able to feel feelings. Like I haven't felt tired in the smallest sense. It's so weird. I also probably can't feel emotions, but I know how I'm supposed to react and my brain simulates it, I guess. I don't know. This stuff is weird.

Silently, I watched as Cal and Phil argued halfheartedly before Sean came in and grabbed her from behind. She laughed and tried to get out of his arms. I laughed to no one but myself as she smiled. It still gets me to think about how much she's been through, yet she still manages to put a smile on her face and brighten my day.

It really sucked to be here and seeing everything that she's going through, and it hurts to know that the reason she's feeling like this was my fault. It hurts me to know that she's having a slow mental breakdown because of us and how we can't wake up.

Soon, Ashton came up with Cal and Sean and Phil had to force her out to go spend time with him. I don't know what the urgency was, but it seemed like Ashton was determined to get her out of this hospital room.

When Cal and Ashton were gone, Sean and Phil came back into the room. "Man, what are we going to do with her?" Sean laughed as he dropped himself on the couch.

"I don't know." Phil shook his head.

"Well, what are we going to do?"

"What are the others doing today?"

"I'm not sure... Let me call Erika. She should know what the girls are doing." Sean pulled out his phone and called his wife.

I didn't pay any attention to this call. But I did watch the nurse as she came in and checked on me and the others. As she walked out, I followed her. I wanted out of that room, it was just depressing.

When I got down to the lobby, I saw that Bradie kid. "Since when is Bradie here?" I asked myself as I walked up to him and the doors. I knew nothing was going to open and I wasn't going to be able to get out like this until someone came in or out. I leaned against the wall on the opposite side of the doorframe from Bradie. It's been so long since I've seen him. The last time I saw him was back when he got out of the car when we were saving Cal eight years ago.

Suddenly, Bradie looked over beside him as two other cops came over. "Yo, Brad, we'll take over the shift." One of them said as they got closer.

"No, it's okay, Ty. I want to do this."

"But you've been here for a long time. Let us take over and you go home and get some rest."

"Are you sure?" Bradie asked.

"Of course!" The other officer slapped Bradie on the shoulder and smiled. "Go home, man, you need to."

"Thanks, Brenden." Bradie smiled and started walking off.

I stayed where I was, just studying these two officers as they stood with their backs turned to the glass and guarding the door. They must've known Cal because their conversation soon drifted to us and her. "Damn, I feel bad for these people." Ty shook his head.

"Right? I can't believe that Calliegh girl is caught up in the middle of all of this." Brenden replied quietly, shaking his head.

"When I was questioning her and that Sean guy, I just felt like this was something that I needed to solve quickly, ya know?"

"Yeah, I can tell that girl's gone through a lot. Even without Brad's explanation, I knew she had gone through something. Did you see those scars on her face?"
