Hours passed and not a single word about how Adriana was doing came from the nurses and doctors. Cedric thought the worst. What if she died and they were trying to figure out how to tell the two of them.

Even though they were nothing but fuck buddies, he grew attached to her, he saw her as more than a pretty face and a stunning body. He liked her.

He fancied her. She was funny, smart, actually listens to him, and she trusted him. Which honestly said a lot to him really.

"Do you think she'll be okay?" Cedric asked Pansy. Pansy shrugged and laid her head on his shoulder, "She has to be."

"Do you see that?" she pointed at the sky. Cedric looked over at her and smiled, "See what?"

"The stars— Stop staring at me like that!" she said through a laugh, "The stars. Look at the shapes they are making." she pointed again. Cedric chuckled and looked up at the sky, sighing.

"What's wrong with you?" she asked. Cedric shook his head, "Nothing, what's wrong with you?"

She looked over at him and smirked, "Wanna try Eli just one more time? I swear if you fall off you can shave my head." she giggled. Cedric laughed and grabbed her hand, "I need something to pull on when I'm destroying you."

"Oh you horny little fuck."

Flashbacks of the incident ran through his mind. He couldn't believe it. If she is dead, then he and Pansy witnessed it. They witnessed their own friend die. The two of them stayed in the hospital during the dark, starry nights.

What if their time was up?

What if they never get to see each others faces again?

About a week passed and still, not a word from the doctors or nurses. But then, a familiar nurse walked out from the hall, searching for Cedric and Pansy. She found them and walked over to them.

The nurse cleared her throat, "I just wanted to fill you guys in.." she sighed. Cedric looked up at the nurse, bouncing his leg up and down quickly. "They are trying to do everything they can.. I'm sorry. It's just not looking too good right now but—"

"Well fucking try harder!" Pansy spat as she stood tall over the nurse, "Try fucking harder—"

"Pansy. Pansy." Cedric spoke calmly, grabbing her hand, "Let the nurse finish, please."

The nurse smiled and nodded, "The stab wounds were pretty deep and also messed with, which made them much worse than what they would've been before. She has lost a lot of blood. But I was wondering if you'd guys like to see her?"

Cedric and Pansy looked at each other before looking back at the nurse, nodding in response.

"Right this way."

—

The nurse led them to the room where Adriana was put in. "I'll leave you guys alone." she smiled before closing the door behind them.

Adriana was incredibly thin. She had bruises all over her body, the scars her mother gave her were now visible. The blood from earlier was cleaned off her.

Pansy slowly walked over to Adriana and grabbed her hand, fighting back any tears. "Do you think she can hear us?" Pansy choked out, "They wouldn't bring us in here if she's dead. Would they?"
