Skip and Beau

Chapter 8: Visiting Hours

I love you guys so much. Almost 800 reads!

*Beau's Point of View*

I nearly screamed. Sara wakes up from a damn coma and wants to see some jerk she just met a few days ago? Once I see her, I'm telling her about Hailey. I don't give a fuck about how Skip feels.

*Skip's Point of View*

I smiled. Sara wanted to see me! And I wanted to see her so badly too, so I followed the nurse into the room. "Just holler if you need anything." she said to me.

I walked over to the beautiful girl laying down in the old bed. "Sara....I've missed you."

No matter where she was, she looked absolutely stunning. I grabbed her hands, she held on to mine tightly.

"Daniel..." she whispered, "I mean Skip, I missed you too. I just...I can't believe everything that's happened. I know all of you were probably worried, but everything's great now, isn't it?!" She said, her excitement building.

My smile dropped. She didn't know about Shiva. Oh, God no, this will kill her. Why do I have to deliver the bad news?

"Skip what's wrong? I'm feeling fine! Skip....reply to me." I sat there, dazed as she spoke to me.

"SKIP! Tell me what's going on!" She insisted, pouting a little. Why did she have to be so adorable at such a terrible time?

"Sara...something happened yesterday." I said quietly.

"What? When?" she asked, confused.

"In the evening."

"Skip. Talk to me. Did Mrs. Brooks get home safely from her trip? Is she okay?"

"Yeah, yeah. She's fine. She's at the market right now I think." I replied solemnly. I can't believe this. What's she gonna do when I tell her about Shiva?

"Skip, just tell me. I can take it." She told me, looking me straight in the eyes.

"Sh-Shiva. She's gone." I whispered.

*Sara's Point of View*

My heart plummeted. "Gone?" I asked. "Like, she ran away from home...or...gone?"

"She's...gone Sar. Gone forever." He said, his face turning red. "I'm so sorry."

I sat up, my attention completely on Skip. I really didn't think anything could ruin this day. I thought wrong. "Why?" I asked, barely audible, tears flooding my face.

He sighed, and slowly explained to me what happened to her after I insisted he told me. I had to know. By the end of the story I was an absolute mess. Poor James, he is probably having so many troubles right now. I can't believe this.

"D-do you know what her last words were?" I sputtered. Her last words. Shiva's last words.

Skip brought the tissue box over as he shook his head. "Only James was there with her when...when she passed. I have a feeling Luke might know too though. The two of them have gotten really tight over the past couple days."

I sat there and cried. Shiva was so perfect. She was just about the nicest person I'd ever known Beautiful inside and out. I'd known her since we were only six.

"It's okay, Sar. She's in a better place." Skip soothed, calming me.

I shook my head and looked up to find the most beautiful eyes. Daniel Sahyounie, he was still looking at me and had his hands tightly wrapped around mine. This moment was beautiful. He was so genuine and really cared about how I felt.
