"Fuck! Lylah what happened?" I asked worriedly down the phone.

"And i don't know. I don't know why i didn't tell you but it does feel right it's blood not water! And my, my, my, head i hit it and- and like it's bleeding and just get here quick please." Lylah cried down the receiver.

"Shit. I'm coming just wait call an ambulance. I love you Lylah i'll be there as fast as i can." i cried back.

I rummaged through the wardrobe and threw on Rogers t-shirt and a pair of shorts. I grabbed my leather jacket in a hurry and pulled my keys out of my bag slinging it around my shoulder. It was 4:35am so i grabbed a piece of paper and writ a rushed note.

Gone back home i'll be back later
Lylahs had an accident
at the hospital love you

-Michelle xx

I rushed into my car and drove to Lylahs as fast as i could. I was terrified of losing my best friend, she hadn't told me she was pregnant so falling when she came out the shower made me absolute worried.

I barged into Lylahs house and ran into the bathroom in a quick hurry. There she was her hair which she had dyed red a few days ago cascading her shoulders still wet from when she had been in the shower, a pool of blood smeared on the floor from where she had sat herself up.

"Fucking Shit Fuck." I screamed as i shakily grabbed a towel applying pressure as i told her to hold it there. I took Rogers t-shirt off and put it on her carefully as i ran to the phone dialling it as fast as i could.

"Thank you, Thank you so much. Please hurry!" I cried down the phone as i ran back to Lylah holding her hand making sure she was okay.

"Michelle Stonem? Can i borrow you please?" i pulled away from the chair besides the hospital bed where Lylah had been. She had wires in her arms and her head stitched up. She was awfully pale from the loss of blood the fall endured.

"The fall has caused a lot of blood loss so at the minute we're looking for a blood donour with the same blood type but she will have to stay in until we find someone. Unfortunately, the baby did not make it." i felt awful my best friend has always wanted a child but did not do so to tell me when she was about to be a Mom.

After the conversation i went to the small cafe in the hospital and grabbed a coffee for myself and a donut for Lylah. I went outside to have a cigarette for a little break as a car sped up the curb.

"Is she okay!?" A voice shouted as the car door slammed i was pulled into a tight hug.

It was Jane.

I hadn't seen her in ages but now wasn't the time to catch up.

"She's fourth floor, Ward C, Room 6." i said as i passed my sister the donut to give to her, quickly finishing my cig.

It had been two more hours now taking us to 8:47am as Jane got up for the toilet the door opened and footsteps approached behind me, someone panting. I turned around to look instantly seeing Roger. He waved towards me as i jumped up running into his arms sobbing. He held me lightly as he brushed a hand through my hair pressing a kiss on my lips before sitting on the chair as i stood there drinking in Lylahs appearance. I was worried as she still hadnt woken yet it had been 4 hours.

I walked over to the chair sitting in Rogers lap my legs hugged to my chest carefully. My eyes fluttered before falling asleep.

About an hour later,

"Elle, Love, wake up. Lylahs awake now." Roger whispered as pressed a hand to my forehead then brushing my hair out of my face. My eyes opened quickly finally a bit more at rest that Lylah was awake. I got up to sit at the side of her bed as i turned to her scoffing the iced donut. I laughed as sipped my jacket down a tiny bit but not too much because i was wearing a bra Lylah had the shirt i was wearing on.

"What? I can't resist a donut can i? Baby Davis need food too!" She laughed as she but the rubbish on the small table next to her.

"Lylah. About that.."

"About what?" She questioned tilting her head.

"The baby.." i struggled to word out as i carefully held her cold pale hand.

"The baby didn't make it hun. I'm so sorry." Lylahs face instantly dropped as her eyes filled with water. The silence was interrupted as a nurse came through the door.

"Lylah Davis?" she questioned looking at her sheet of paper. I nodded back softly in response.

"A few tests need to be taken at the moment. You can visit again tomorrow but for now you will have to go if you don't mind." she said before moving the drip connected to her arm.

I said my goodbyes and promises to visit Lylah tomorrow as Roger waved bye and we headed out the hospital .

I bit my nails nervously. It was a habit i did when i was anxious, anxious about my best friend.

"You okay love?" Roger questioned as he grabbed my hand softly in twining them together.

"Yeah no im fine. It's just Lylah.." i sighed as he pulled me into a comforting hug now in the car park.

"She'll be fine Elle. Don't worry about it."
