She never knew (Noah Centineo Fan-fiction)

Chapter 18

****Noah's POV****

We all was in the waiting room down the hallway..I couldn't stop pacing the floor and Mia's dad and uncle sat down next to one Another trying to take this all in. Alexa was leaning up against the wall trying to fight tears.

I walked over to her and she just looked up at me from looking down at the floor and her eyes was blood shot.

"Noah..." She said sniffling and then she just grabbed me and hugged me and cried in my chest. I wrapped my arms around her and I felt tears fall down my face.

She pulled away from me and wiped her eyes, all this over Nicole and her friends. I don't even know how to process this still. My best friend is in bad shape and all this is because of someone bullying her.

"Mr. Tanner.."

We all look over to see Alex standing there.
Michael and Jack both stood up and we all walked towards Alex.

"What's going on Alex?" Michael spoke up.

Alex took a deep breath

"Mia's heart rate dropped due to the decline in function of her lungs and heart. We was able to get her stable again, at this rate she won't be going to the teen unit tomorrow. She's slipped into a coma."

Alex took another deep breath.
"I'm contacting the school Monday and we're pressing it as attempted murder. I don't know how much the school can or will do with the bullying issue, but we're not going to take this lightly. This is twice in a day time we thought we was going to loose her."

Mia's dad ran his hand through his hair, you could tell he didn't even know what to say or think.

"I just thought everything was getting better.." I spoke up trying to not choke on my words.

Alex took a deep breath

"We're not giving up on her and we won't..we're scarely getting to the point where we have done everything we can for her physically...(he takes another deep breath) it's getting to where it's up to her now...I'm so sorry." He even choked when he said that.

Michael and Jack looked at one another and
Alexa just grabbed me and cried in my chest. The next thing I knew tears fell down my face, and I cried with Alexa.

I'm never going to get to tell Mia, I'm never going to get to tell her how I feel, I just wish things was different.

"I'm going to allow You all to see her, but since she's in a much worse place. We will have to
Keep the visit short with just family until
We know what direction to go next."
Alex said.

"She does have a tube down her throat, so we did have to restrain her arms just to keep her safe, she didn't do anything for that other than we have to do it for everyone. The machines are helping her breath, so don't be alarmed."

We all followed Alex down the hallway to Mia's room, Michael led the way into the room, and I walked over to the left side of her bed, she practically looked lifeless, I gently held her hand, that touch of her skin so pale and so cold, I let go and just lost it. I put my hands to my face to try to hide me crying, Alexa come over to me and hugged me and I wrapped my arms around her and cried on her shoulder. We cried together.

We let go of one another and Michael come over to us and put his hands on our shoulders.

"Thank you for being here today, I know Mia would and did appreciate it."

He looked down at his daughter that was fighting her for her life and then looked back at us.

"Go home and relax, I'll keep you both posted on what's going on and if anything changes." We need some time with her. He smiled

"Thank you Mr. Tanner." Alexa hugged him and he even reached out to me to hug me as well.

"I know you'll be great for my daughter, you already have my approval."
He said in my ear as we hugged.

We pulled away from one another

"I'll be good to her I promise." I smiled wiping the few more tears that fell down my face.

Alexa and I walked towards the door and I looked back at Mia, not knowing if I would ever see her alive again, not knowing what the future would hold. All I knew is that I wanted to love her, and that I loved her.

Her uncle and dad smiled at us and we walked down the hallway onto the elevator, unsure of what would come next.
