It had been two days since Chloe went into the hospital. She's been in and out of sleep but hadn't said a word. Beca hasn't left the hospital, and she asked Aubrey to bring her laptop to her yesterday so she could catch up on her lessons and still be with Chloe.
It was 11am and Aubrey had just arrived at the hospital after her lecture.
"Hey Aubrey, how are you? You ok?"
"Not, really no, I've hardly slept, and you look like you haven't slept"
"I can't sleep"
"Has she woken up?"
"No, she hasn't woken up since yesterday morning"
"I take it you haven't seen the Bella's chat?"
"I haven't received anything, so no, why have I missed something?"
"They asked how she was doing and that they'd be here after 12"
"Ok, I'll just turn my phone off and on again, the reception is rubbish in here"
"I haven't eaten yet, Beca, as I just wanted to come here, did you want to take a walk to the canteen and grab a sandwich?"
"Yeah, two seconds"
Beca went to kiss Chloe's head.
"I'll be back in a little bit Chlo, I'm just going with Aubrey to get a sandwich"
"Beca, are you ok?"
"No, I just wish I knew what went on" she started to cry.
"Hey, look come on, you said to me the other day she'd going to be fine"
"I know what I said, but she's just lying there it's like she's lifeless, and I can't do anything"
"Beca you need to sleep and shower"
"I can't leave her"
"She'll be fine for an hour, you need to look after yourself too"
"She's my priority Aubrey, I'm not going anywhere" Beca started to get louder.
"Beca calm down"
"No, look I need to be here, I promised her I wouldn't leave, and I'm not going until she can finally leave" She started crying and got a few sympathetic looks from the canteen staff.
"You're so stubborn, Chloe won't like waking up to a smelly girlfriend" She said as she started to wipe Beca's tears.
It was half 12 when the rest of the Bella's had arrived with a bag for Beca. They were all just chatting and before you knew it, it was 2pm and the nurses were telling everyone they had to start to leave.
"Beca, look why don't you go home and shower ok? I know what you said but I'll stay, and I can message you if anything changes and you can come back at 5pm for the night. Just at least take a nap and wash and get cleaned up. You haven't left the hospital in two days." Aubrey said.
It took the Bella's a bit of arguing with Beca but she finally agreed in the end and Emily said she'd drive Beca's car so she could drive back.
Beca hadn't long been back in her building. Emily asked if she was ok or wanted company but Beca said no and then thanked her. As she was heading upstairs, she walked past Chloe's room as her and Chloe's room were next to each other, she just froze and broke down in front of her door. She hadn't realized someone was watching her until she heard her name. Jessica was stood there trying to hold back the tears but couldn't as she went to hug Beca.
"Shh hey, it's ok, come on Beca, let's get you up, let's get you in your room. Where is your key?"
Beca couldn't speak, but she went in her pocket to get her key.
