A day had gone by and there had been nothing from any of the girls, not so much as a twitch, none of us had particularly taken it well, Connor and Tristan were quite neutral, they were like comforters and were helping us, James obviously was worrying about Beth as was Drew, Nate and Brad obviously had their history with Sara, However Brad was handling the news better than Nate was, Blake was lost to say the least, we'd been friends with these girls for enough time to call them family and this was effecting him badly but no one was effected more than George, he wouldn't go and sit with Sara in her room because he couldn't look at her in the state she was in, he hadn't spoke to anyone we had all tried to talk to him but he wouldn't talk, he kept going for long walks at night and he wouldn't come back until he knew me and Blake were asleep. Austin, well Austin couldn't bare the thought of loosing Mia, he hardly left her bedside he would sleep there, eat there. He didn't know how to live without her, they'd never been apart since they got together, apart from the night he spent in prison, they'd always had each others backs. I just wanted to go and sit with her without looking blatantly obvious that I had feelings for her, I couldn't do that when Austin was in there, I didn't want to wreck there relationship but I didn't want to keep my secret from her anymore, even if she's not concious when I tell her how I feel, she has to know, I can't leave things like this. To make things worse Sara was the only one who knew about my feelings and she wasn't even meant to find out, Sara was the only one I could talk to and she wasn't concious to give me the advice I needed.
"Hey" I smiled weakly to Blake as he walked into the waiting room, he just nodded, "don't you start ignoring me too" I smiled at him as he sat beside me, George was sat in the corner staring at the blank walls, not even at the TV that was in the waiting room, all the others were either looking after someone or out getting food, "I'm sorry, this is all just still sinking in" Blake said running a hand through his hair and sighing, George seemed to get up and walk out of the room, "I'm worried about him Reece" Blake said looking at th door as George left, "yeah, so am I" I nodded, "hey, I need to tell you something" I added turning to Blake, "yeah what's that?" he asked, "you can't tell anyone, or scream" I pointed at him, "okayy" he said confused, "I have emotional feelings for, Mia" I nodded, his eyes widened, "ummm... and you want me to-" "talk to me" I cut him off, he jut nodded, "well, great start" I said sarcastically, "I'm going to tell her how I feel, concious or not" I told him, "Reece she's with Austin" Blake told me, "no shit" I sighed, "look, she needs to know now, I don't want her to die and I've never told her how I feel" I shook my head, "Reece don't say die" Blake shook his head getting emotional, "we're not goonies Blake" I furrowed my brow, "I think this is a bad idea" Blake shrugged, "why?" I asked, "what if you think she's unconcious and she actually hears you, it'll mess up her head and her and Austin are happy like super happy, I just feel like you'll get yourself hurt" Blake shrugged, "look, I don't care, I can take it, I've gone two years hiding it I will hide it longer if I have to" I told him sternly, Blake sighed, "fine, but I think you'll have to hide it your whole life because they love each other" Blake shrugged, "I'm going to talk" I said getting up.

I walked to her room and looked through the window Austin was sat by her bed with his head on her chest, my mind seemed to think 20 different things but one stood out as I looked at the two of them, "her and Austin are happy" Blake was right and I hated that, living in a world where Blake is right is very dangerous. Something seemed to finally snap in my head and I realised that there would never be anything between me and her, she and Austin are meant to be and I don't want to be the guy to get in the middle of that. Everything seemed to realign themselves in my head, I was telling myself to find someone else and I needed someone else.
Drew's POV:
I walked through the hospital with my guitar over my shoulder, it was the only thing that gave me a little bit of release, playing made me forget, because I had to concentrate on something else I decided I was going to play to her. Beth used to love listening to me play, when we were dating I'd always sit playing my guitar and singing different songs for her and she loved it, I know it sounded stupid but I somehow thought my music and guitar could solve anything even this, I know music can't fix broken bones but I thought she might at least wake up.
I walked into her room and pulled up a chair beside her bed, "I really hope you can hear me because I want you to listen and really know how sorry I am for how I hurt you, I need you to wake up because as soon as you open those eyes we can go back to us and you've no idea how much I've missed us" I said before strumming my guitar and singing to her.
I couldn't help but tear up, "I love you" I sniffled before kissing her forehead and stroking her hair.
That night we went home Austin stayed at the hospital, I settled into my bed even though getting to sleep was difficult, I was just about to doze off when my phone started to buzz, I turned and saw it was Austin, I assumed the worst and hesitantly picked up the phone, "Hello" I said with a stuter, "Drew you need to get down here!" Austin rushed, "what? Why?" I asked confused, "Beth woke up!"
