Heather's POV

It was Alex. My brother. Alex.

I couldn't believe it! He missed the most important tournament in his life for this. For me.

"Alex! You came?! You really came!" I exclaimed, pushing my terrible drawing of to the side.

"Ya but I didn't come for you I came for mom and dad, to get them and bring them to MY TOURNAMENT not your stupid art show! Oh and you deserved what happened to you," he spat, sending chill down my my spine.

He turned around to leave and I was shocked to find he had a knife in his back. Cause I had stabbed him in the back?

I looked at it horrified that it was me who did it.

"In case your wondering, it was you," he said, and with that he stumbled out the room.

I sat there in shock. How did this happen? Why wasn't he in pain or why wasn't he getting help?

I was scarred by that cause my brother was the most important guy in my life besides my dad and I'd thought I was the most important girl in his life besides mom and Skylar.

"Heather, Heather, HEATHER,!"

I jolted straight up thrown out of that horrible nightmare I was having.

My mom was sitting on the corner of my bed with a concerned look on her face.

"Heather, your uncle Carter and aunt  Isabelle are here to see you," she whispered, looking behind her towards my uncle and aunt.

"Hey kiddo how you feeling?" Carter asked me taking my mom's  place on the end of my bed.

"I'm fine how's Allyson and Jack doing,"

"There fine just worried about you and Alex," my aunt cut in before he could answer.

"What do you mean Alex? Did something happen to him?" I worried, running all the possible things that could have happened to him in Jay Peak.

"Nothing sweetheart," mom muttered, glaring daggers at my aunt.

"No mom if something happened tell me,"

"Please," I added.

"Well there was a snow storm and they lost power and no one has been in or out of Jay Peak since Thursday," she mumbled, looking away from my glare.

"What was that?" I asked getting really mad cause I'd gotten in the crash on Saturday.

"No one has gotten in or out since Thursday, she said, finally looking me in the eye.

"So your telling me known that he could be injured or even dead since Thursday and you haven't told me! I got in this fucking car crash on SATURDAY! You had lots of time to tell but didn't. Why? Did you not think I'd want to know that Alex was trapped on a mountain? I guess not," I yelled not caring about anyone else in the room. I was going to kill her!

I was hoping of seeing Alex but apparently he's trapped on a fucking mountain! A fucking MOUNTAIN!

"Honey we thought tha-" she reasoned.

"Get out," I spat pointing at the door. At this point Carter and Isabelle were long gone. Cause no one wanted to be around me when I was mad. Bad things happen.

"GET THE HELL OUT!" I yelled causing stars to explode from behind my eyes. I was getting too worked up I had to calm myself and I couldn't do that with this woman who called herself my "mother" in the room.

She quietly got off my bed and left the room leaving me and the rest of the patients in the room.

I'd heard whispers that Noah was in the ICU for the night. That was great. Could you imagine his reaction to my tantrum?

It took a while for me to calm down but when I did I was drained. I had a still lingering migraine along with a faint ache in my hand from banging the stupid plastic guard rails the have on the beds. 

I was drifting off to sleep when the door swung open I looked up to find an emotionally unstable Finn stumble through the door towards Noah's old bed.

I heard him collapse on the new bed that'd been set up for Noah for when he came back.

Around a minute later I could heard sniffles coming from Noah's old room. Those sniffers slowly turned into full on sobbing.

All I wanted was to sleep but Finn Wolfhard was a fucking mess and I needed to do something good because I really fucked things up with my mom.

I got out of my bed legs screaming in protest. I wasn't supposed to be out of bed but I really did need to stretch my legs even if it killed me.

I made my way over to Noah's section of the room towards Finn and asked awkwardly "Are you okay?"

"What do you want?" He croaked.

"Well I was seeing if you were okay,"

"I'm fine okay," he hissed not looking up from where his eyes rested on the side of Noah's bed. 

"Just so you know he's in ICU for tonight," I added hoping he would warm up a little.

"Thanks, how was he?"

"What do you mean how was he?" I asked coming to sit beside him.

"I mean was he normal, when you were talking," he asked, finally meeting my eyes with his red, swollen and puffy ones.

"Well it was like he wasn't even famous and there was nothing wrong either," I said being mostly honest. There was nothing weird but it was still like talking with a celeb.

"I'm sorry I snapped at you, I'm flustered and can't keep it together," he sighed.

I was surprised that he was opening up to me because I was just a random girl he met like two minutes ago. 

"It's okay and to be honest I'm not doing well either I can't get the face of my dead best friend out of my head. It's like she's haunting me," I blabbered, tears pooling in my eyes. I don't know why I feel such a strong connection to him but it feels like we've know each other for, forever. I feel like I can tell him anything. (Cringe I know) I've been keeping my emotions inside I I just need to let them go.

"I understand I mean my best bud Noah is in the fricken ICU and Calpurnia has a concert tomorrow and I'm such a mess and don't know if I can do it and.... why am I telling you this?" He trails off.

"I'm sorry about the blabbering I'm just in shock and feel a natural connection to you in some way," he adds, scratching the back of his neck gently. His mood was drastically improving I'd even managed to crack a smile.

"Me too," I smile.

"Look im not tying to be rude but I'm really tired and I'm feeling king of faint so going to go back to my bed and sleep," I say getting up too fast. 

Stars dance before my eyes and and I get dizzy. I try to hobble over to my bed but trip in a wire and fall towards the ground only to be caught and swept of my feet by Finn.

"Be careful darling, you don't wanna wreck that  pretty little face of yours," he smiled carrying me to my bed as if I was as light as a feather and we all know I'm not.

"See you soon darling," he cooed, sending a flurries of butterflies to my stomach.

And with that I fell into a deep sleep.
