Team 10

Chapter 15: Friend Zoned...

||Paris||
I'm happy that things with Cole are over. This means that Ivan and I have a chance. I really like Ivan and I hope we will be able to work things out.

Paris: Ivan?

Ivan: yeah?

Paris: can we talk?

Ivan: about what?

Paris: us..?

Ivan: uh... yeah sure.

Paris: so what are we?

Ivan: what do you want to be?

Paris: I don't know...

Ivan: friends?

Paris: is that what you want?

Ivan: yeah. For now.

||Ivan||
I just friend zoned Paris. But I don't want to get together just like that, I mean she and Cole JUST broke up.

||Paris||
I cringed at the word "friends". I don't want to be just friends. I know Cole and I just broke up but the reason we broke up was because Ivan and I couldn't keep our hands off each other.
*phone beeps*

Hello Paris. I hope Cole will be fine with you and Ivan, but you should probably check.

The text was from an unknown number... after I got this text I got a little scared so I called Cole.
It went straight to voicemail, so I decided to leave a message for him.

Hey Cole. I'm really sorry about how things ended, give me a call when you can?

I walk into the living room where maddi is.

Paris: hey maddi have you heard anything from Cole lately?

Madeline: uhh, I told him to never speak to me or anyone else in team 10 ever again.

Paris: oh... okay.

I start walking back to the kitchen when my phone rings.

*Oh phone*
Paris: hello?

Doctor: hello, are you Paris Jones?

Paris: yes. Who is this?

Doctor: this is doctor Allison with the Dignity Health hospital.

Paris: is everything okay?

Doctor: well not exactly... we had someone submitted last night and it was a attempt of suicide, but he's asking for you.

He. Who is he? Cole wouldn't be asking for me... would he?

Paris: I'm sorry... who are we talking about?

Doctor: Cole Andrews.

Oh my god. I can't breathe. My chest gets tight and I fall to the ground, and before I can stop myself I'm crying.

Doctor: hello? are you there?

I don't answer. I just hang up the phone.
Maddi notices I'm on the ground crying and she comes running over to me.

Madeline: what's wrong P?

Paris: it... its.. it's Cole. He tried to kill him self...

Madeline: what?!

Paris: I need to go see him!

Madeline: no Paris. You guys broke up.

Paris: but he was asking for me.

||madeline||
He asked to see Paris but not me? I'm his god damn sister and he fucking asks to see his ex who fucking cheated on him?! Hell no!

Madeline: I'm coming with you.

Paris: Maddi... he might not want to see you.

Madeline: I don't care! I'm coming with! Now get your ass in the car and lets go!

*10 minutes later*

||paris||
I run into the hospital and ask which room he's in. The lady at the front desk tells me and I run to that room faster then I've ever ran for anything in my life. My heart is pumping so loud and fast I can hear it out of my hears and feel it on my chest, it feels as if it's trying to break through the skin.
I get to the room.

Paris: Cole?

Cole: Hey pear.

Paris: I hate it when you call me that.

Cole: oh whatever pear.

I walk to his bed and sit down at the bottom.

Paris: why'd you do it?

Cole: because pear, I loved you. I loved you more then I've ever loved anything in my life. And I just felt that if I can't be with you, then what's the point of living. Pear, you are my everything. And I'm willing to give us another try if you are.

Paris: I don't know Cole... I...

Cole: Paris, you ran like a cheetah to make sure I was okay. That means something, don't you think?

Paris: yes of course it does. I love you---

Cole: see? So why can't we just pretend that kiss didn't happen?

Paris: because it did. It happened. Nothing is going to change that. I love you, but I only want to be friends.

Cole: get out.

Paris: what?

Cole: get the hell out of my fucking room! Get out of my fucking life!

I start crying and I run, I don't know where my feet are taking me, but I know it's far away.
