Heather's POV

I still haven't cooled down from my argument with my parents.

After I visited Noah, my parents were awaiting my arrival. They asked me if I was ok and where I've been. I told them that I was visiting Noah when a few little birdies told me I got the part of Camilla in Stranger. That's when everything went to shit.

So here I am now, Cooling down.

I should probably go see Noah but I don't want him to have another seizure. He said nothing and when he went unconscious I swear my heart skipped a beat. What if it happened again but this time there was no nurse? What if it was a grand mal seizure? What if....?

I should stay here right? Just incase Katie comes to see me right?

Just as I was about to call her, the door swung open and in walked Dr. Works. Weird name right?

"Miss Robinson, your head scan came out positive for a concussion but other than you're good to go home. You will have to come in to get that cast taken off and we'll see how that hand is healing ok?" He said, adjusting his clipboard.

"Ok," I muttered, as I got up to leave.

"Miss Robinson  you should wait for your parents to come, I need to inform about your health too,"

"Then call them," I snapped.

I should apologize. He is my doctor after all.

I apologized then told him I was just going to the bathroom. He would by it long enough for me too escape this hell hole.

I quickly and quietly made my way out of the hospital and called Katie. I was shocked to find out she was with Finn.

Finn? Finn?! FINN!?

I politely asked her if I could spend the night and she said yes. I she had said no I would have had to go back to my house where my parents were.

"I'm at the "Web-park" meet me there ok?"

"Ok, bye," I sigh as I hang up. The park is so far away. And I'm broke so I can't take an Uber.

"Wait," I mutter as an idea forms in my head. I can call Lauren! She's always free and will do anything for a .......

Oh shit.

Lauren's gone. I can't just call her. I'll never hear her voice or see her bubbly smile.

I start to walk, an attempt to take my mind off of her but I can't. Tears start to roll down my face I pick up my pace and dart to run. I kill my still wobbly legs but I don't notice because that must be nothing compared to the pain Lauren suffered when she.....

God, I can't even think-

Bam.

I wasn't looking where I was going and I ran straight into a girl. She had been carrying a box full of stuffed animals and now they were lying on the ground.

"I'm so sorry!" I apologized, scrambling to help her pick up the stuffed animals.

"It's ok," she muttered before storming off leaving one of the stuffed animals behind. It's was an elephant.

I picked it up and hugged it to my chest remembering the stuffed elephant my parents had bought for me when I was five.

I noticed that people where starting to stare at my tears stained face so I keep on going. I didn't know where I was going but I didn't stop walking.

I didn't want to go home but that's where I ended up. Before I walked through the door I could see my mom crying on the couch and my dad with his arms around her. I quickly made my way away from the window and towards the front door.

I opened it and stepped into the house. God it felt good to be home. My mom looked up and when she saw she bolted out of her seat and wrapped me in a tight hug.

She was soaking my shirt with tears but I didn't care. I was in her arms and I really needed that.

"Mom, I'm sorry," I cried, hugging her tighter.

"I'm sorry too," She sniffed.

We pulled away and laughed at each other's makeup stained faces. I looked at my dad and he was staring from me to my mom, and back.

"Did you hear anything from Alex?" I asked hopefully. I was never nice to him. He always tried to be a good big brother but I made it hard.

"We heard from, Scott," she paused.

"Scott said that he and Alex are fine and that they will come home as soon as they can," she sobbed.

"Mom, if he's okay then why are you crying?" I asked my voice cracking with emotion.

"I don't honey," she laughs.

"Do I have to go back to the hospital?"

"Nawww just go get cleaned up,"

In this moment I realized that I wasn't the only one that was broken. My mom was. My dad was. God even Alex is. They are the people I need the most and I should stop pushing them away because I feel alone.

I get changed into my favourite pyjamas and go back downstairs getting a whiff of whatever dad is making for dinner. He is such a good cook. Almost as good as Lauren's mom's......

Why the fuck do my thoughts keep going there?

"Ready for pizza Meghan?" Mom asks, getting the pizza plates out.

I looked around confused. My dad made pizza in a matter of 10 minutes?

"How? Is there pizza?"

"We bought yesterday when you were sleeping,"

We ate in silence when dad suggested we watch at movie.

I picked Only the Brave. I was bawling by the end of it. *spoiler alert* They all died except one of them. All of them. I can't imagine how hard it must've been on the one guy. The scene before.... I can't. I'm more dead inside now.

After the movie I decided to get to bed. I attempted to do my nightly routine with my cast and it went Ok.

Once I was settled in bed I drifted off pretty easily.

My last thought before I was right out was, What if I had died instead of Lauren?
