January 1st

I stormed out of Monti's hospital room, slightly regretting not letting my best friend tell me everything; but at that time, all I could focus on was what Luke didn't tell me. What Luke thought was a million times worse than what it was.
He was right where he was, the last time I saw him. Standing with Michael and Calum, and he still had that same look upon his face. That I'm sorry look. I probably shouldn't have been as hard as I was, because but apart of me was reeling. He made me feel that my best friend was dying, when in reality she was just three months pregnant.

"You have some fucking nerve," I stormed over to Luke
"Oh shit she's angry," I heard Calum say to Michael. They took a few steps away from Luke, "we better get away,"
"Oh fuck yeah," Michael said, "no one wants to fell the wrath of Gia,"
"What are you talking about?" Luke asked, I knew, he could tell I was furious, but I could also see that he was just as confused, as I was angry
"How fucking dare you act like Monti, is fucking dying?"
"She obviously didn't tell you everything," Luke stuttered, "she... she..." he tried to speak but he was scared, scared of what I was about to do, and he had every right to be. I raised my hand and slapped him right across the face
"Oh shit," Michael laughed
"This isn't the time to be laughing you idiot," Crystal said
"I'm not the one whose been slapped twice,"
"And I've never been slapped," I heard Calum chuckle

"Gia, let me explain," Luke said, grabbing my arms
"Explain what?" I seethed, "explain that my best friend is pregnant?"
"She is,"
"Then why they fuck did you make me believe she had fucking cancer? Why did you make me believe that it was worst case scenario?"
"Because it is," he said
"What do you mean?" I asked, my voice was barely there. Less than a minute ago I was yelling, I was screaming; but now I could hardly speak
"I mean that she's pregnant," at his words I felt the presence of someone behind me, I quickly turned my head and I saw Ashton. Oh god Luke, now's the time to shut up, I silently screamed to myself. This is not how Ashton should find out
"What do you mean she's pregnant?" Ash asked
"She's pregnant, but that's not the worst," Luke said. He didn't want to say this, I could tell. A part of me felt guilty for making him say it; but he should have said it when the doctor told him
"Then what's the worst Luke?" I asked, "fucking tell me, or so help me God! I won't hesitate to slap you again!"
"She's pregnant, but there's a huge chance neither her or the baby will make it,"

At his words, I just stood there. Shocked. I didn't know what to do, I didn't know what to say. Everyone was silent. The only thing that could be heard was the slamming of the door to the ward. I looked around, and all of us were still there, except one of us. Ashton was gone.
I couldn't take it anymore. I collapsed on the floor. Tears falling from my eyes hysterically. I was a mess. I was ruined. I didn't care about my career, I didn't care about the music. All I cared about was the fact that my best friend, the closest person I had to family was dying. And there was nothing I could do about it.

This feeling was all too familiar, I haven't felt this way since that day over a year ago, back in October after I ended things with Luke. All those times came rushing back to me.
The next thing I felt was arms wrapping around me. Those arms were familiar, I knew who they belonged to, "it's gonna be okay G," I heard Luke say, "she'll be okay," I couldn't speak, "well do everything we can to help her,"
"But what if it doesn't work?" I sobbed, "what if I lose my best friend?"
"She's my best friend too," Luke said
"Hell she's all of our best friend G," Michael said, and I could feel his arms wrap around me too, "yeah, you more so than the rest of us, but that doesn't mean we're not hurting,"

"How didn't I know?" I asked, "how the fuck didn't I know my best friend was pregnant?"
"I don't even think she knew," Holly said, "G, you and I both know, that if Monti was pregnant, she wouldn't have been living the way she was,"
"Miss Angelo?" I heard the doctor, this was the first time he'd made an appearance, since he said Monti was awake. I looked up, and saw him entering the waiting room, with Crystal just a few steps in front
"Yes?" I looked up, I couldn't see anything. The tears were clouding my vision
"Come with me please," he spoke. I tried to get up, but I couldn't. I was too weak. Eventually, I was able to stand up, with the help of Michael and Luke, "it'll be okay girl," Crystal said, "everything will be fine," I just nodded at her words and followed the doctor into his office
