I'm not sure how long I was out for, all I know is I woke up in a white hospital room, with things hooked to me, and Kian sleeping in the chair next to me.

"Kian." I say trying to get his attention.

"Hmm." he mumbles as his eyes flutter open.

"Why am I here? Where is Stella?" I ask trying to pull this stupid thing off my arm before a warm hand is set on top of mine stopping my pulling and yanking.

"Your going to hurt yourself, wait until they take it out. You had a panic attack and then you were out. Stella is back in her room with a boy actually, his name is Trevor I think?" he says as his thumb caresses my hand.

"Trevor? I love that kid, can I get out of here to go see Stella and Trevor?"

"I'll check with the doctors but I'm sure you can." he says calmly before standing up and walking out the door, but not before giving my hand a tight squeeze.

Trevor is Stella's best friend, they both met in this hospital actually. They were both in the waiting room when they just started talking about everything, and they swapped numbers and still to this day they are friend. Trevor had cancer, so they bonded over that really well. I love Trevor as if he was my brother, I would do anything for him. Trevor is really loud, and can be annoying at times, but whenever he's around I see a smile on Stella's face again, a real smile.

"They said you can go visit them." Kian states sitting back down, as the nurse comes in to take out the IV from my arm.

"Thank god." I sigh before hopping out of the bed and getting ready to walk out of the room, but before I got out the door the nurse yelled, "before you leave you need to fill out your discharge papers!"

Sighing I went out to the front desk to fill them out as quickly as possible.

...

After finally getting done with my discharge papers I could finally go see Stella.

I walked to her room with Kian following. Once I got to her room I knocked before opening the door.

Stella was laying on the uncomfortable hospital bed sleeping, Trevor was no where to be seen. He probably went home.

Slowly and quietly I walk to her bed and sit down next her, Kian following but walking to a chair beside the bed instead. Her hands are so cold. She flinched, and her eyes shot open the minute my hand made contact with hers.

We said nothing, we all simply sat and listened to the beep of the monitor and the noises outside of the four white walls she was trapped in. How long would she be trapped in them this time? That was the only thought running through my empty mind that usually had never ending thoughts bouncing back and forth through my very confusing brain.
