Make Me A Promise (Vic Fuentes Fanfiction)

The Promise

Anna's P.O.V.

          I leaned back in my chair, and stared at the ceiling, the show was amazing probably the best one we had ever put on.  All the bands were set up in the entrance for a meet and greet, and signing.  I sat to the side while all the people smiled as they met their idols.  They each had a small story to tell, hearing some of them brought tears to my eyes. I looked over to Vic. He was quite a few years older than me, yet he looked so young.  His hair was pretty long for a guy and he had obviously straightened it, but by now his hair had begun to curl a bit from the sweat on stage. He must have felt me staring at him 'cause he turned his head and smiled at me.  I looked away from him with a blush on my face.  Why am I falling so hard for him? This is ridiculous!  Band boys are nothing but a bunch of assholes who don't want anything other than sex!  But still... Vic just seems so much different to me.  I looked back towards him and a fan who couldn't have been more than 15 was crying her eyes out right in front of Vic.  He stood up and pulled her into a hug.  You could see the shock in her eyes as he said something in her ear, she gave him a sad smile and she dried her tears.

          He is just too perfect.  My phone started to buzz and I looked at the name, Miss Maggie, she took mom to her house tonight.          I stood up and walked out of the room to take the call.

          "Hello?" I asked.

          "ANNA!" She sounded frantic."Honey , your mom collapsed on her way to the guest room, I called an ambulance and they are on their way over right now!"  My heart sank, and my knees became weak, I grabbed the wall to steady myself. "We're going to Sentara, meet us there as quick as you can."  "Is she still breathing?" I said almost out of air myself.  "Yes, sort of, it seems hard for her."   By now I couldn't breathe.  I heard her door open and the sound of men's voices.  Lizzie walked in and saw me crying.  She rushed over to me. "Anna I have to go now honey."  She hung up and I dropped my phone.  Lizzie picked it up and looked at the screen. "What's going on Anna?" She looked at me.

          "She passed out... They are on the way to the hospital, I'm scared." I sank down to the floor.  Lizzie wrapped her head around the situation finally. "I'll grab the keys, stay here I'll tell the guys too and your aunt."  She ran off into the next room and I just sat and cried.  I felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked up to find Vic kneeling next to me. "Hey, Lizzie told me, I'm coming with you guys." 

          "You have the signing.."

          "The boys are taking care of it, I thought you could use a little added support." Lizzie came around the corner with the keys to my jeep and we piled in.  I sat with Vic in the back while Lizzie drove.  My aunt's car right behind us.  He held my hand and I cried in his shoulder all the way to the hospital.

          We got there, to find Maggie standing in the waiting room of the emergency wing.  She was walking back and forth, breathing heavily, and her eyes were red as hell from crying. "Mags!" I yelled as I let go of Vic and ran towards her. "Have they said anything? What's going on?" I said all in a jumble of words. Thankfully she understood me. "They haven't been out yet to tell me what happened."  We waited for hours in the hospital, this place was way too familiar for me.  Sitting in here always brought me horrible memories.  The day they diagnosed her, the multiple surgeries, the chemo, and appointments. Too many nights spent alone sleeping on a hospital room couch, since I was 13.  For years I had hoped my father would walk through the door and tell me everything would be okay, but he never did.  All of this was making me shake, I was freezing in my little dress.
