Richelle's POV:
I need him. How could some stupid idiot take him from me? why me? First, my dad leaves, then my mum dies, I go to live with Noah's family, Noah's parents get divorced, I get diagnosed with snapping hips syndrome and now Noah's been in a car accident, fighting for his life. if he dies, I'm going with him. He's my best friend, whom I've got feelings for, but he'll never feel the same about me.
5 minutes turned into 10, then to 30 to 1 hour. In that time, Michelle, Max, Skylar, Piper and Amy have been visiting me and keeping an eye on me since they know that I have an interest in him and that he is my childhood best friend. we knew each other before we were born, so we've been attached at the hip our entire lives.
1 hour then turned into 3 before a doctor came out.
"I'm sorry for you loss of sleep, including you miss" he looked at me before continuing. "Miss Nolet... Richelle, friend and roommate of Noah Erlick right?". I guess someone told him about me. "Yes sir" I replied. "Can I speak with you for a moment. Could you please bring Miss... Bain as well?".
I motioned for Amy to walk towards me. We had our fingers interlocked like our lives were depending on this conversation.
Before he could talk, Amy asked the obvious question "Is Noah alright?". The doctor looked towards us with eyes filled with sorrow and hurt before answering "We were able to save him but he's in a coma. If he doesn't wake up in a month, we'll have no choice but to turn life support off". It felt like my heart stopped. I tried staying strong, but I didn't last 5 seconds before crying. Amy was as well as the three of us were inseparable.
"Can we see him?" I asked. "Of course, but I have obtained some information about the crash. The police found the person who crashed into Mr Erlick.". He gave me the file and my eyes skimmed over until I found a familiar name and suddenly my jaw dropped.
"Miss, do you know this person?" I had to give in.
"Yes, unfortunately. That's Noah's dad. A couple of years ago, probably when we were around 6 or 7 years old, Noah's mum and dad got a divorce. At that time, I was living with them since my dad abandoned me and my mum, then a year before, my mum died, when Noah's dad got kicked out, I vaguely remember him saying that he will have revenge, that you won't know when, you won't know where, but just remember your lives are at stake".
"Thank you, you may see him". Amy and I thanked him and suddenly my legs gave out and broke out in tears. All my emotions, I've blocked out, the walls around my heart that I built, came crashing down. Amy and I made it into his room and seeing him connected to all these wires, made me think, 'Am I going to lose him?'. we ended staying until 12 the next day.
I didn't turn up to dance that week, nor did I eat. If Noah had to suffer, I should too.
