Work experience is boring so I just decided to make a bucket list, Hayley said I should make one so that I can do everything I want to do.
I was in a really bad mood today, I just wanted to sleep but then I realised I couldn't because of this stupid work thing.
I had a splitting headache all day and it's really bugging me, water should help so I go get some water and just sit down.
Then I see him walk through the door and I instantly turn my chair around and try to make it look like I'm not there. It doesn't work.

'Hey... You?'

'Hi' I reply bluntly

'You know I never actually introduced myself' he says

'Beatrix' I say

'Nash'

'Nice to meet you Nash'

'Nice to meet you too Beatrix, do you know where Liz is?'
Who's Liz?

'Ah Liz, she's um.. She's nnnot hhere um right now' the panic was rising up inside of me, WHO THE HELL IS LIZ?

'Beatrix calm down' he said laughing 'there's nobody called Liz here'

'Arsehole' I said under my breath. I can't believe I just embarrassed myself like that. Mental face palm.

'Sorry the look on your face was priceless' he said, still laughing

'Yeah, whatever. Bye bye now!' I tried to shoo him out of the room, but then I realised I had a question.

'Who are you? Like why are you always here?'

'I'm Louisa's Godson, I moved over here from America and she said I could have a job so I run errands and stuff. I have to go to school next week though.'

'Oh cool, what year?' I say smiling

'Year 11?'

'Same as me then, what school are you going to?' Why didn't Louisa bloody tell me Nash is her godson? I feel like such a twat

'I'm going to'... He gets cut off as Louisa walks into the room

'Nash darling!! I see you've met Bea' I give her a look of daggers.

'Oh Beatrix stop looking like that, you'll get frown lines!' Louisa said.

I stop frowning and give her a cheesy smile before walking out of the room, finally it's the end of the day so I can go home.

I grab all of my stuff and then walk out the door. My head still really aches so I rush home to take some painkiller.

My parents aren't home so I guess I'm home alone tonight. They haven't even left me a note which annoys me because I always leave them a note when I go out. I really wish they cared about me more.

My head really really hurts and I've just taken my painkiller, I text Hayley asking if can come over and she says yes.

She walks in and I'm on the floor.

Hayley POV.

Bea texted me asking if I could go over so of course I said yes. But when I walk in it's the worst state I've seen her in and I've seen her in every state.

Rushing over to her she's screaming on the floor and writhing in pain, I have to bite back the tears.

'Bea, Beatrix I'm here. It's going to be okay. I'm calling an ambulance. If you can hear me, you are going to be okay. What happened?'

'Head ache' she manages to get out. She's crying, holding her head in her hands, panic is rushing through me and I have to fight back the tears, I haven't seen her this bad for ages.

I call the ambulance and they are on their way. I wonder if she took her medicine.

'Did you take your medicine?' She shakes her head. Fuck shit.
I should have been there with her. Why did I think I could leave her? I can't go away, I can't leave her I'm such a fucking idiot. Every day, every day I check to see if she's taken her tablets and the one day I don't she's like this. I really fucked up.

The ambulance comes and I go in with her, I text my mum and she drives to the hospital to meet us there.

When we get there, the doctors ask if I'm immediate family and so we have to sit and wait in the waiting room. I call bea's parents and I tell the what happened, I think they're drunk though but they're on their way anyway.

She was in so much pain and I couldn't do anything about it. The doctor tells me that she'll be here over night and that she's going to be okay, and asks if I want to go and see her.

Walking into her room, she looks so peaceful but with tubes coming out of her in all different directions. I sit by her bed and hold her hand and I rest my head on the bed.

I lay there for what feels like hours and she finally wakes up, still in a daze but she manages to get out the words 'I wrote my bucket list' she smiles. A smile spreads across my face and I can feel my eyes getting glossy. 'I'm excited to see it' I say to her. She doesn't reply again and I let her sleep.

The doctor comes in and gives mum the results but we decide to read them in the morning.

I ask my mum if I can stay overnight and she said yes, Bea's parents never turned up.
