JAMES POV

I see them run in with Hannah on a stretcher, they are all shouting things at each other and hoking her up to monitors and IV lines. I feel scared, scared that Hannah wouldn't make it. Then I would never get to kiss her or even say that I love her, because I really did love her. I was also scared that I was the reason she overdosed, did I push her to hard with the date? My thoughts are running around in my head then I feel a gentle hand on my shoulder and I turn around to see a young man standing there.
"I'm Hannah's brother and everything is going to be okay, okay?" He says and gives me and reassuring smile. I couldn't talk because if I did I would start to cry so I just nod.
"You know what you have been through enough why don't you go home and rest up a bit and I will tell Hannah what you did..." He says and pats my shoulder a bit. He was right but it felt bad leaving Hannah but on the other hand I didn't do any good just standing here doing nothing. I nod and would pick up my bag and start walking out of the hospital.

"Hey..." I hear my brother say softly. When I open my eyes I would bring up a hand to cover them from the sharp light in the room, I look around the room and quickly realize I'm in the hospital. I look down a bit and see that I'm hoked up to an IV and I also see my brothers hand in mine. I looked up at his face, it looked like he had been crying. I didn't understand why, but then when I thought about it everything came back. God I was so stupid, I had just got a date with my crush and I overdosed instead of going to his place for dinner.

"How are you feeling?" Another voice says but I don't recognize it, I look up to see a man with a beard and a white coat.
"My head hurts..." I groan, and rub my eyes.
"Well that's understandable, I can't give you any pain killers as it's a danger to your health" The man says sternly but there is still something soft in his voice.
"You don't want me overdosing again that's why" I say annoyed but I still understand that it is for the best. The man just nods then a nurse walks in with a tablet and hands it to him. The man looks at it and would stroke his beard with his other hand.
"Well your blood system doesn't have any drugs left in it so I don't see why you can go home" The man ..says after a while and smiles at me then would turn to the nurse.
"Please get the release forms for Miss Baker here" Them man says in a kind voice and the nurse walked out of the room with the man following behind her.

Silence filled the room, neither of us knew what to say. I could feel my brother squeezing my hand reassuringly. The minutes felt like hours but then I hear the door opening again and the same nurse comes in with a wheelchair and some papers. She hands the papers to my brother and he signs them.
"Thank you" The nurse says and smiles at him warmly.
"Hannah can you sit down in this wheelchair for me so we can get you out of here?" She asks and smiles at me in the same warmth. I do as I'm told and sit down in the wheelchair and she wheels me out of the hospital. The drive home felt a lot longer then usual but no one said anything no one could say anything. But then my bother speaks up.
"James was here with you before I told him to go home, he looked like he was worried about you" He says and looks at me but then back at the road. I didn't say anything but inside my mind was racing. Did he still like me after this? Or what happened?
