Joining the Hats

Chapter 9: Nightmares and warm hugs

Mia's POV:
I was walking to my dads car after school I was so happy it was my birthday I was finally a teenager. "How's my teenage girl today," dad said.
"I had an amazing day, still missing Ross though."
"You have Lizzy to keep you company and plus I'm sure you will make lots of new friends." I got into the passenger seat. We drove away from our house. "Dad isn't the house the other way."
"Yes it is but we are going somewhere else."
"Where, oh please tell me."
"Oh but that would ruin the surprise."
"Omg a surprise I love you dad." We were driving and came up to a 4 way intersection and that's when I realised where we were going. "Omg no way your taking us there, I love you so much." The light turned green and we started going. I looked at my dad and saw a car heading at us really fast. "DAD!" I yelled just as the car hit us and we went into a roll. We hit a lamp post the car was upside down. "D-da-d." I was just able to undo my seat belt and fell onto the roof of the car in a lot of pain. I unbuckled dads seatbelt and he didn't move he was stuck. "Dad wake up please." I felt a small amount of heat and saw fire. "Shit," I muttered. "Dad we have to get out NOW." No response. "Dad I love you lots." I got out of the car as fast as my injuries would let me. I also scraped all down my back trying to get out of the car, the door had been crushed, it was very painful to climb out. I ran and stumbled then dived to the ground behind another car that stopped just as our car exploded. I stood up and starred into the eyes of a boy about the same age as me, he looked just as scared. Two men in paramedic uniforms grabbed me and started dragging me away. "NO LEAVE ME. DAD!" I was screaming at the top of my lungs. "LET ME GO, LEAVE ME ALONE!" They didn't and put me in the back of the ambulance and on the way to the hospital I started to feel the pain setting in everywhere, adrenaline kept it at bay till now. All that pain made me fall unconscious.

"Mia wake up, MIA!" I woke up with a jolt and saw Lizzy sitting at my bed. "Mia it was that dream wasn't it." I nodded. After the crash I would see segments off it and every time I did I would call Liz and just talk to her till I fell asleep again. Ross also knew about it as we still kept in contact but just didn't really see each other much. Liz drove me into yogtowers today she said that she would just say that I had a bad sleep and was to tired to dive, but I knew she was using it as an excuse to meet the yogscast. Sjin came up to me all happy and bubbly as usual. "Hey Mia what's up and who's this."
"I didn't get a good sleep and this is Lizzy my best friend." Sjin and Liz shook hands and then we kept walking to my room. "Omg," Liz exclaimed as she saw Cyril on my shelves.
"Oh yeah I forgot to tell you that he was there."
"Almost forgot he even existed."
"I forgot he did exist till Ross put him there, but now I have just left Cyril there."
"Can I got meet the hat guys, pleeeasee," Liz put on a puppy face. "Come one Mia any fan girl would kill to be where I am right now."
"I know they would that's why I'm saying go down in your own Ross is there."
"Oh no I can't do that I would physically and mentally die." I sighed and laughed I knew she would say that. "Only if you promise to not go absolutely ape shit."
"Pinky swear." Liz held out her pinky and I took it. "Shake it you break it."
"I didn't." Liz held onto my hand I could tell she was excited but scared. I knocked on the door and Smith starred straight at me, oh god, oh god. I opened the door and walked in Liz still holding my hands tightly. "Have you come to tell us your lesbian," Trott said sitting on the couch. "What no, this is my best friend Lizzy annnn.... ouch my hand hurts."
"Sorry," Liz said very quietly.
"Hey Liz," Ross said from behind his partition.
"Liz is a big fan and wanted to meet you guys." I looked at Liz she was freaking out.
"That still doesn't prove that your not lesbian," Trott said. I looked at Ross and pleaded. "I'm not apart of this."
"Well poo you, Trott I'm not a lesbian."
"Prove it then." Shit.
"How the poop am I suppose to do that, getting a boyfriend or kissing a guy proves nothing." Ross looked at Smith evilly. Don't you fecking dare Ross. Ross whispered something in Trott's ear and he had a smug smirk on his face. "Kiss Smith then, on the lips." Lizzy squealed I forgot she was there. "Omg guys I can't take it anymore this it to much for me, I'm just going to go home and scream into my pillow." Liz walked out of the room.
"Is she ok," Trott asked.
"Yeah she is fine, she always acts like that when a situation is to cute for her." I just realised what I had said. "So where's that kiss then," Ross said making kissy faces. I looked at Smith and he hid further behind is partition. "I don't have to kiss anyone to prove anything because I'm not a lesbian," I said.
"Sure your not that's totally why you came in here holding a girls hand."
"She is my bestfriend we always hold hands for no reason at all."
"That doesn't prove anything, kiss Smith and then I shall believe you."
"Trott stop being such a twat and leave her alone," Smith said. Trott put up his hands defensively, "Alright then."

Smith's POV:
Mia walked out of the room and I followed. "Mia don't listen to him he is a twat," I said chasing after her. "I know he is, it just annoyed the crap out of me when someone calls me a lesbian. I may have short hair, I may do stuff normally boys do but I'm not a fucking lesbian." I hugged Mia, I could tell she was not expecting it as she tensed up at first but then calmed down and hugged me back. "Smith do you want to go out for lunch or something like that," Mia asked. I wasn't quite sure how to respond to that. "Yeah I would love to." We walked out of the office to grab some lunch, together, it was nice. There was something up though. "Hey Mia you alright," I asked hoping it won't be one of those girl things where they say they are fine but are not. "Your expecting me to say I, fine aren't you." I said nothing. "Well I'm not fine I had a nightmare last night."
"Hey it's ok it was just a nightmare."
"No it wasn't just a nightmare, my dad died in a car crash on my 13th birthday, I was in the car." I was a little bit scared by this when I was 13 I saw a car crash and this girl ran behind our car and then hers exploded. She stood up and starred straight at me. The paramedics the dragged her away and she was shouting for her dad I assumed he didn't make it out. "Smith are you ok now."
"I think I saw that crash."
"What do you mean," Mia was getting scared now.
"When I was 13 I saw a girl run out of a car and behind ours just before hers exploded." Mia looked terrified. She starred straight into my eyes and I saw that it was her, she was that girl. "It was you," Mia said softly whist hugging me.
