My Everything//James Franco A.U

Chapter 17

Amanda's P.O.V

A week turned into two, two turned into three in which that turned into a month. It was like I never existed, never met him. I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt then again it was me who pushed him. It was all for the better though. I did feel his stares though, he probably felt mine as well.

As painful as it was to lose him, I couldn't deny the fact that I needed him. The school day was almost over when I got a phone call. "Hello?"

"Amanda!" Sarah's mom sobbed into the phone.

"What happened?! What's going on?" I ask holding the phone tightly pressing it against my ear.

"We're in the hospital! She..I just-I can't even!!" She sobbed harder not being able to say her words properly.

"Please calm down. Okay, now is Sarah alive?" I asked cautiously.

"Yes." She breathed out.

A wave of relief hit me but it didn't stop the tears to form in my eyes. I started for the front door making sure no one was around of course. "Which hospital?" I asked.

She told me all the information I needed and we hung up with a small good bye. "Amanda!"

I stilled at his voice, something I longed for. I turned and felt the tears slipping from my eyes without warning. "What's wrong?" He asked.

We we're standing outside the school, right in front of it. Someone was bound to find us, like he read my mind he took my hand and lead us farther down the road crossing the street and out of sight. He turned to me wiping the semi dry tears.

"Amanda?" He looked at me with sad eyes. "Why have you been ignoring me? I tried to call you-even talk to you! What's going on? Talk to me please." He pleaded.

I felt my lower lip tremble and more tear fill up my eyes, I bit my lip trying not to let them slip. This whole time I've been ignoring him, but by the looks of it he seems..sad? Sad that I didn't talk to him, now I feel really stupid.

"I gave you space wondering what I did wrong but I can't figure it out. Please tell me..I can't stand going to the cafe and you not noticing my presence."

He was at the cafe?

I looked at him our eyes meeting and sighed feeling my phone vibrate from a message being delivered to me. Sarah.

"S-Sarah.." I choked out letting the tears fall once again.

"That sick friend-oh shit Amanda." He brought me in for a hug.

I held him tightly gripping his shirt for dear life, I was shaking I knew it. He rubbed my back then held my hand, I had my head on his shoulder and turned my head so I could place a small kiss to his neck as a sign of appreciation.

"What happened? Talk to me 'Manda."

"She's getting really bad..she's in the hospital."

"Well lets go!" He tugged at my hand.

We walked to the hospital in silence and ran up the stairs as soon as we got there. See James wanted to take the elevator but it would take too long and well.. I had to see my Sarah.

I stood outside her door with a frown and a heavy heart. "I can't." I sighed.

"Damn track runner!" James gasped out as he finally made it up the stairs. He stood up straight catching his breath and walked towards me regaining himself. "Take your time, I know it's hard."

"Come." I offered my hand.

He held it and walked closer to me, he put a hand on the door knob and looked at me for an answer.

"I can do it.." I nodded.

This is it.
