Difficult Decisions

Wake Up... Please...

Georgia's POV

I sit on the couch in Marks apartment with Sean. "So... She really likes me?" He asks nervously. I nod in response. He shakes his head. "Now I feel like a complete ass. I was so rude to her last night..." Tears well in his eyes. "What do you mean?" What did he do? "I was THAT drunk that when you told me she liked me... I just laughed. I will never forget the hurt in her pale blue eyes that I saw last night. I might have been drunk then... But I'm not now and everything is just hitting me like a ton of bricks..." His voice begins to crack.

Alex's POV

"You stay here Mark. Keep watch over Matthias. I'll go get them. Well, wake them up at least." He tries to argue but I just hush him. I walk out into the hallway and approach Marks door. However, I stop. "I feel like a complete douche!" I hear Sean say. "It's okay..." That was Georgia. "She'll never look at me the same again! Her eyes said it all..." Wait... Is he talking about me? I wait for silence. "Knock knock?" I say questioningly as the door creaks open. Their heads snap towards me. "A-Alex? Hi!" Sean says flustered. "Hi Sean!" I say enthusiastically. "Georgia." I nod. I walk past and step up to Ryan's room. "GOOD MORNING!" No response. I walk up to the bed. "Holy shit. Did you drink THAT much?" I poke Wade's face. He brings his hand over to brush it away, but instead slaps himself. I try to control my laughter. He sits up groggily. "ALEX! I was having the best dream!" He laughs. "SHUT UP WADE!" I hear Georgia say from the doorway. I smile faintly. She walks in and walks beside Ryan. "RYAN! GET YOUR RAINBOW HAIRED ASS OUTTA BED!" No answer. She tries everything. No answer. "DAMMIT RYAN! WAKE UP!" She's getting worried now. So am I. Wade gets out of the bed and ventures out to find Mark. Georgia sits on the bed beside Ryan, where wade was sleeping. She puts her hand on his fore head. "He's... Cold..." A brim of tears sits patiently, waiting to spill over. She leans forward and rests her fore head on to his chest, crying into it. "No! Come on Ryan! Don't do this!" I bite my lip. I've never seen her cry this hard. It's making ME cry... And the fact that Ryan isn't responding. I see movement at his feet. "Georgia." No response. "GEORGIA!" She looks at me. "What?" I point to his feet. They moved again. She smiles. "Ryan! Come on buddy." His feet move a little more then slowly stop. Her smile fades and so does mine. I hear the door open and I look over to see Sean walk in. I look back to Ryan teary eyed. "What if he doesn't wake up?" I ask, my voice cracking. "C'mere." He beckons me. I approach him and he engulfs me in a hug. I cry into his chest, and I feel a tear fall from Sean and onto my shoulder. "It's ok..." I hear the front door slam open. "RYAN!" Mark calls. He rushes into the room. His eyes widen. "No no no no... NO! NO NO NO!" He rushes to his side. "C'mon buddy. Wake up Ryan. Please! DON'T DO THIS!"

Mark's POV

I see Georgia stand by my side. Her face is in her hands. I stand up straight. "It's ok... He'll wake up! Yeah..." I take her hands in mine, pulling them from her face. I finally had a good look at her blue eyes. Rimmed in a dark blue, they have a slightly lighter blue colour in the middle, with hazel streaking them. I smile at her softly. She returns it. I give in and take her into a hug. "What if he's gone?" She asks. I push the thought aside. "He's not. I know he's not..." A voice breaks the silence. "Yeah. Jesus. I'm not ready to leave yet." It was croaky. I was tired. It was... Ryan! We all turn to the bed. Our sad tears turned to joyous ones, as we greeted him.
