Someone Better

Chapter 12

Lisa's pov

Panic has started to rise in me. All of the possibilities of what could happen are running through my mind. I need to get out of here but I don't want to leave Alex. I need to be alone.

I decided to go to the front desk to see if Alex could have any visitors.

"Hello, I was wondering if Alexia Coal could have visitors?"

"Let me see." She said checking her computer."I'm sorry but her visiting time is over for today."

"Can I just please go see her?" I lost all control of my emotions. I broke down crying.

"I'm so sorry but I can't let you back to her room. She has visiting time tomorrow from 3pm until 6:30pm you can come back then and she her."

"You don't understand! Please just let me her. I just need my best friend right now and I have no one to talk to about this and I just need to see her. Please." I cried.

"I'm sorry I can't let you see her. I could lose my job. I will call doctor Wheeler and ask him if it is alright you see him. May I ask what your name is and what relation you are to Alexia?"

"I'm Lisa Morris. I'm just Alexia best friend." I somehow sense a little bit of hope that I'll be able to Alex even if it is just for a minute it is better than nothing.

I wait at the desk while the receptionist is contacting doctor Wheeler. I tried not to pay attention to the phone conversation but it was kind of hard not to listen. After about three minutes the phone call ended.

"Doctor Wheeler informed me only you can see Alexia. You are allowed ten minutes with her."

"Thank you. Thank you so so much." I said with a smile.

I made my way to room 232 and knocked on the door. There was no answer so I just walked in. I see Alex sitting on the bed staring at the wall.

"Alex? Are you alright?" I am worried that something might be really wrong.

"Does John have a crush on you?" She finally made eye contact with me. How could she know? I look out her window and see she could have easily seen John and me talking.

"No. Not that I know of. Why do you ask?" I started to panic.

"I saw you two. I'm not stupid Lisa. I thought you are supposed to be my best friend." She laughed a sad laugh.

"I am your best friend. Nothing happened between us I promise. We are just friends."

"Ha ok! Why are you here?" I can tell she really doesn't want to see me.

"I-I came here because I wanted to talk to you." She is still staring at me like I just killed her best friend.

"Talk to me about what?" She snapped.

"I don't really know." Since Alex is so mad I know she won't want to hear about my issues. Then again she never asks how I'm doing or anything.

"Well I think you should leave."

"You know what? I'm tired of this! I've been there for you so long, I tried to hep your relationship with John but every time I do I'm always the bad guy. Since you started dating him it has always been about you! If you aren't happy with him then leave him! The one time I really need to talk to you, you make it about you." I finally caught her attention.

"I'm sorry Lisa. I-I didn't know I was doing that. I'm sorry" her voice cracked.

"I'm sorry too. Are you happy with John? I want an honest answer because both of you don't deserve this."

"Some days I'm not 'happy' but I love him."

"Sometimes love isn't enough to keep two people together." I said in a low voice.

Alex didn't say anything she just shook her head 'yes'. Tears started flowing out of her eyes and I went up to the bed and hugged her until she stopped crying.

There was a knock at the door. Doctor Wheeler walked in the room. "I'm sorry Lisa but your visiting time is over." He said sadly. "Ok. I'm leaving."

I looked at my phone it was 8:30pm when I went in now it is 9:00pm I'm guessing doctor Wheeler heard what we were talking about. I was only supposed to see her for ten minutes.

Mark's pov

I feel like people are keeping secrets. John, Lisa, and Alex seem like they have something going on. I don't really know John personally but he just seems like a bad guy. Lisa is act weird, weirder than her usual weird. She seems really on the break of having a mental break down. I noticed her and John leaving the waiting room and going to a courtyard type thing. I realized from Alex's room windows you can see the courtyard perfectly and she is only on the second floor so she can probably hear what they are talking about. I really hope Lisa isn't doing anything stupid.

After about ten minutes of Lisa and John being in the courtyard I see Lisa crying basically yelling at the receptionist to see Alex. I thought 'Lisa what did you do now?'. I didn't get why she just can't let things be the way they are but no she always has to fix things that don't matter. I love Lisa don't get me wrong but I just think she has good intentions but none of them work out for her. I'm just going to let the situation go,it is the only thing I really can do.

Author Note

I'm sorry this chapter is a little short. The next chapter will be better. This is kind of a filler chapter.
