Just another love story [BeforeYou Exit Fan Fic]

Lost

*Dani's POV*

The party was coming close to an end and I felt my anxiety building up within me. I had to get to Connor soon but he was no where to be found and that only made things worse. My head was starting to pound and I could feel my chest tighten as I was fighting for each breath.

Oh dear God not now... Please.

My body was feeling weak and my legs felt as if they were turning to Jello and I kept pushing myself to get through it until I found Connor and sat with him to talk. My vision was blurring and all I can remember is yelling out his name.

"CONNOR.... CONNOR....?!"

No one was around. Not Riley, not Adri, not even Toby. Where was everyone?!

I continued yelling out for him and spotted a group of girls chit chatting over on the porch, my plea for Connor coming out in something softer than a whisper: pure silence. They just stood there and looked at me confused.

"DANI!"

I felt my legs give in from underneath me as I turned around and saw a blurred beauty running for me. It was almost like a dream. His flawless face and bright blue eyes, his pink lips I was once familiar with and warm arms stretched out to reach for me as my body froze, I was so overwhelmed with emotion that I could not move for the life of me. Each pound of my heart beating slower as he came closer to me.

All of a sudden his face was gone and there was nothing but darkness. I felt a mass of presence beyond the darkness and faded sounds all around.

"Can I please just go in and see her?!"

"What happened?"

"Is she alright?"

"I don't care if she's sleeping! I just want to see for myself that she's okay!"

I only heard a few voices stemming from the hallway, and little did I realize after hearing the familiar voices that I was lying down on a hospital bed. I looked down to see that I had been hooked up to various machines and saw that my attire was now a pale blue hospital gown.

I sat up slowly and took in a few deep breaths, only to prepare myself to reach for my charts to figure out what the hell had just happened. Just as I was inches away from reaching the chart at the foot of my bed, in walked a middle-aged man in dark blue scrubs with Connor, Riley, and Adri following behind. The man picked up the chart before I could reach it and he suggested that I lie back down.

"What happened...?" I asked before I could even think to greet my friends.

"You passed out." Connor said blatantly. Emotionless and completely detached from everyone in the room. Riley had a look of disappointment in his once bright, hazel eyes, and I couldn't tell if he was disappointed in me or Connor.

"Is there anything you want to tell us, Dani, before the nurse tells you why you passed out...?" Adri said sweetly. Then it hit me.

They know.

Not because of me but because of this stupid, Dr. Oz wannabe nurse in his sstupid scrubs and stupid cap, and I knew from now on I'd be watched over by hawks... but I still managed to say nothing.

"Why the hell would you stop taking your medication and on top of that, start pulling this shit about not eating!?" Connor was frustrated and angry, and I don't blame him but the yelling was unnecessary.

"It's not that I'm not eating... I just don't eat that much anymore... and I hated those meds anyways. Ask, Riley! Whenever I was on them I just felt sluggish and they always made me dizzy and didn't help with anything! It's not like you would know what it's like to be so freaking depressed all the time because you can just go around screwing girls and toy with their emotions and be perfectly fine with your life! How dare you walk in here and be pissed off at me for not wanting to feel so effing numb and detached from the world because of those stupid pills! And maybe just maybe the reason that I can't function properly is because I can barely sleep or eat knowing that you are leaving and so is everyone else and I am going to be stuck in this stupid hospital for God knows how long! Do not think you can be pissed at me for this because the last thing I remember is seeing you running for me and I had hope in those two seconds, and now you are here yeling at me so I should be the one pissed off at you!"

Everyone in that room just watched me as I went on about yelling. In the middle of my rant, Riley took his place beside me and held my hand. My face was feeling warmer with each word I spat out and the nurse left the room a few seconds after I went on. The nurses and doctors in the hall looked in as they passed by and Adri decided to close the door.

"I don't even feel like I know who you are anymore so you can stop bitching at me. Once you decide to do something about your issues that we all know you have, let me know so that I can actually try helping you. Oh, wait. I can't, because while you're stuck here I'm going to be gone and so is your buddy there, holding your hand like you're a child."

He stormed out of the room and I felt the same as I did before this all happened...

Numb and motionless.
