*Nathan's POV*
I was talking to the doctor about Tara's condition. After I told her about the prank, she hit the floor and fainted, resulting in her falling unconscious because of the impact, I phoned Natalie and we are all here now, the rest of the boys are waiting outside as me and Natalie walk around Tara's room, with the doctor as he tells us how she is.
Suddenly, we hear a gasp, I look over to Tara to see her eyes wide and looking around frantically. Natalie starts crying, and I run over to her, whispering my prayers and hugging her.
One problem. She didn't hug me back.
*Tara's POV*
So I opened my eyes, finally! So I'm not dead?! Yes! I knew I wasn't dead! Dead people can't think! I looked around and gasped to find the devil, the boy in my room. I started crying, hyperventilating, scared he might hurt me. What is he even doing here? The first thing I did always feel the top of my head. Nothing? What? I should have two horns right now!! Horns should be appearing on the top of my head! Are they invisible!? Ohhhhhhhhhhh clever! So no one else can see them! They won't suspect anything because they aren't there haha! Then he.... Hugged me?!?!?! The devil hugged me! Excuse me! I've seen horror films and the devil does not hug his 'kind' I'm suppose to go into the fiery pits of hell!! I see no pits! I just lay there, motionless while this boy hugs me, whispering to himself, thank you.
Then the girl in the room who I didn't see before, ran at me, literally full speed and tackled me into a hug as soon as the boy left. What's going on? I'm so confused!?
She started telling me this whole essay about how happy she is I'm alive and also how sorry she is about a prank. What prank? Before she could continue I cut her off;
"I'm sorry but..."
*Natalie's POV*
As soon as I looked over at Tara to see her eyes open, I was a wreck, literally on the floor. Sobbing. I knew my best friend was ok. She was safe, and in the best possible place. Eventhough we both hate hospitals. At least she was alive. That was all that mattered to me, she was breathing, her eyes were open and she was with the two people who love her most.
Nathan hugged her and I could hear him whispering his prayers, thanking everyone. The strange thing was though, Tara didn't hug him back. She didn't do anything.
She just laid there while her boyfriend hugged her, she didn't respond in the slightest.
As soon as Nathan had pulled away, I replaced his arms with mine and hugged my chummy like never before. I was so happy to see her. Alive, happy. I started ranting on about how I was so happy to see her and how I was so sorry about the prank. I feel so guilty, it's all my fault, this. What you see right now, my best friend, lying on a hospital bed, with wires and tubes surrounding her is all my fault. After I finished ranting, I looked back at Tara to see her, with a blank look on her face. I pulled away from the hug, then she spoke the words that broke my heart;
"I'm sorry, but who are you?"
