Recovery, Roses and Redlines (13)

Allana's POV

I was walking down the winding hallways of the hospital in search of food. Lexi, Sapphire and I had been in the hospital waiting room for about 7 hours and we were starving. We had been waiting for Wolf's, Brooke's and Everlee's parents to come back to relay the news but we hadn't heard anything yet, all the doctors would tell us was that Brooke and Wolf were in stable condition almost ready to be discharged but we hadn't yet heard anything about Ever. Sapphire had gone to each of our houses to get some clothes and other stuff whilst Lexi and I stayed waiting. I was more anxious than I've ever been. Waiting happened to trigger my anxiety and made it worse so, staying and waiting for the entire night was basically hell on earth for me. I had been texting mom and she decided to let me miss school today and tomorrow just to calm down and everything. I had great parents, really. 

I finally reached the cafeteria and got in the line, none of the hospital food looked remotely edible and it was way overpriced but I was starving. I grabbed a green tinged turkey sandwich and a bottle of water, I sat there staring at my food for a while and finally gathered enough confidence to take a bite of it, it was disgusting but I ate it anyways (I was really really hungry ok?) After that I grabbed by bag and trudged to the room of hell. Once I sat down I had nothing to do but think as Sapphire was gone and Lexi was being grumpy but I didn't blame her. I felt gross and icky and just blah in general, I was even still wearing last nights dress! Anyways I sat there thinking and thinking.

Ever since I told Sapphire and Lexi about the crash, Sapphire started acting differently. She was more quiet and less talkative than usual and in general was just very different. She was very spaced out and stuck in her head. I knew something was up but couldn't quite figure out that it was more than just the shock of three of our best friends almost getting killed in a car accident. We still didn't even know how it happened or why or who the driver was. We basically knew nothing. But still Sapphires change in attitude was bothering me.

"Hey Lex?" I asked.

"Yeah Allana? What do you want?" She asked harshly, her emotions spiking.

"I was just talking to you! There was no need to be so mean!" I said a little hurt.

"Well what did you want to say!? If it wasn't important why bother me?" She asked once more, less harsh this time but still not quite nicely.

"I just wanted to ask you about Sapphire. Haven't you noticed ever since we told her about the crash, she's been acting.... I don't know different?" I asked my best friend with concern.

"Nah.... She's seems normal to me. I don't notice anything different, she still is quiet, reads her books and is a loner." Lexi said normally this time her emotions back in order. I didn't really mind her out burst tho because it was hard in all of us and we were all tired and stressed.

"Wolf Butler?" The intercom said crunching and cracking, barely legible. Suddenly, without thinking I jumped up, my legs subconsciously running up to the counter, Lexi trailing behind me. I was shaking my head spinning slightly.

No Allana! Not now, this is about Wolf and Brooke and Everlee and you have to be strong for them. You can't breakdown right here, right now. Not until you know how they are and you are alone. Calm down, the nurse is probably bout to tell you something happy! Calm down!

After my little internal pep talk my breathing slowed and I was less out of it. I leaned against the counter. Lexi beside me. "Hi.... I'm A-Allana Gray... And t-this is L-Lexi Gaze. W-We're Wolf's friends..." I trailed off my voice a little shaky.
