Happy reading everyone ;)
Chapter 5:
It felt as if years had passed before my eyes finally opened. Looking around I notice the white curtains on the window, the white cover sheets on my bed and the cold plain titles on the ground. If I didn't feel the throbbing pain in my chest, I would have thought I was in a mental hospital for sure.
"Good morning dear, how are you feeling this morning?" The nurse walks in to check on me
"um. How long has it been, since I was knocked out?" I asked the nurse
"It's been 3 days since you came in sweet heart"
"Oh, my mums okay though right, because she got out before me and all, right??" I asked with pleading eyes and a strange ache in my heart.
The nurse frowned and looked down. My worry begins to increase, unsure of why she isn't answering me, but fearing the truth.
"She's alive isn't she?? My voice begins to shake."
"Why arnt you answering me? Where is she?? Where's my mum??"
"Sweety, your mum isn't here, she died in the fire you were in''
"NOO, she can't have... Adrian got her out before me! I begged him to! He promised! I can't live without her, I just can't, your lying to me! My tears wetting my cheeks, my heart felt as if a thousand knives have been stabbed into it.
My grandma walks into the room, saw me crying, rushs over to me and hugs me. I cry and cry, my sobs becoming a never ending river of tears.
"She can't be dead gran, she just can't!"I plead with her, wishing she could just come out and tell me, it was all just a big sad joke.
"She's in a better place now darling, with your lovely dad, please don't cry, you will be okay, you still have me dear. I will always be here for you, I promise! Her voice is shaky and teary as she tells me this. Her strong hold was the only thing keeping me together. "It's okay it's okay, shh you need to calm down and rest right now, so you can get better" she says, stroking my hair slowly, lulling my red breamed eyes closed and I fell into a deep long sleep.

(Next Day)
I hear muffled voices and open my eyes just slightly, trying to see who was in the room.
I see two figures standing in the corner of my eye, talking to a doctor. With a closer inspection I realise who it is. Its Adrian's parents... I see them begin to walk out of the room and hear the mum call out to another person in the room asking, whether he was coming.
"Just give me a few minutes, I will be right out'' I hear his footsteps come closer, and I knew it must have been Adrian. Keeping my eyes closed, I fake sleep.
I feel his piercing gaze on my face and he's shadow on my skin, I dared to sneak a glance at him, to see him put his hands on his face? covering a pained expression of grief and sadness.
I hope he feels guilty for not saving my mum my conscious whispered to me
I feel his warm touch at my fingers. Deep down I knew I had wanted to grab them and never let them go. But right now I was mad. Mad that he didn't save her. Mad that he didn't listen to me. Mad that I was the one who made it out alive, while she died and that's why I refuse to be happy at his touch. She's not coming back and it's all his fault. I realised to late that my body has started shaking, my eyes lost control of the tears they were holding. Opening another river of tears. I see the shock in Adrian's eyes, I guess he didn't expect to see me awake and was unsure what to do.
"Mia how are you ..feeling?" He says shakily scared that I would break
Trying not to shake, I speak "I am fine.. But you know who isn't.. My MUM! She's dead! Gone! No longer living in this horrible world and its all because you didn't save her!" Voice beginning to break in the end, at my pathetic attempt to stay strong.
"Mia..I ..am....so..sorry"
"Why didn't you save her ADRIAN!" I yell
"I told you and you didn't listen! why would you do that to me? I don't have anyone now and it's all your fault, I am going to be all alone.. without even one parent.."
Mia please listen to me I couldn't save your mum, you would have died in there..he gets closer to me, trying to comfort me.. I refuse to be close to him, I try to move away as much as I could, to the point that I am already off half of the bed.
I didn't want to hear this.. He's making excuses, I needed to leave! I try to get up, but my feet had gotten used to not moving and werent ready. "MIA what are you doing?" to late, I fall to the ground in a heep and just cry.
Cry out of grief, cry out of loss.. Cry for everything that's ever happened to me in my life.. Why me God? Why must I be the one to end up with two dead parents!? Why couldn't I have a happy ending! My thoughts are on full drive. This only made me cry harder and the world began a huge spinning mess.
I feel his two warm muscular arms around me keeping me together, I was slowly losing it, I could feel myself drifting away. I open my eyes and look at Adrian, staring right into his blue sad guilt filled eyes. I feel myself drift away, and my eyes slowly drift shut ... again.
'No Mia, stay awake, Mia, please not again.. Mia..I am so so sorry Mia, please forgive me..I am so sorry.."I hear his voice near my ear, right before I lose conscious, hoping for all the pain in my heart to end.
What do you guys think so far? any guesses to what will happen? Do you like it so far?! :)
