My heart sped through my chest and I tackled her from where she weakly stood hidden behind a wall. I could feel her bones tense up before she wrapped her arms around me and begun to cry. It was Qe'Ana, she was more firmer than she used to be and she seemed as if she lost weight. But she was still the same. The same best friend that stook with me thick and thin.
" I missed you." she whispered in my ear.
" I missed you too. "
I teared up and stared at a happy Oliver who awkwardly dug his hands and his jeans.
" I've got to tell you something, something quite horrible." She frowned. Her smile fading.
" What is it? " I asked. She shook her head.
" I'll tell you after, I don't want to spoil such a great day."
I nodded and gave her another hug before we walked arm-linked to Oliver's car.
We walked into a Frolio shop. It had been the first time I was actually around normal people and not just the gaurds and doctors. It was the first time I actually smelled the sweet smell of the caramel apple and of the French fries that I knew were unhealthy but I couldn't resist to not order it. I was to order a big meal (Olivers decision) he was freaked out about how much weight I had lost the past years and he would've complained but I forced him not to. I didn't feel like being tazed or beaten to death in my room or even put to sleep. As we walked up to the counter there was a strawberry blonde boy crouching over the desk texting totally occupied and carefree of us. We approached him. Oliver cleared his throat (getting his attention). He looked up and I nearly flew out the windows.
" Drew? " He raised an eyebrow and stood on his feet.
" Brittany? " without a word I flung my arms around him. He squeezed the sides of my waist and I could tell by the silence Oli was watching and he didn't like it.
I hated drew, he was so annoying and creepy but for some odd reason I had an uneasy feeling to just embrace him tightly in my arms. He had definitely gotten taller and more masculine, and his hair was lightly shaved at both sides and it came up in a sorta super man cut. He used to just wear it messy and tangled back then. He definitely changed, and to my suprise it was a good change.
" Where have you been??!? I've been going nuts searching for you! " After realizing what he said he blushed.
" I mean- I didn't... I just wanted to make sure you were OK.. " He was so adorable.
" Thanks. For looking and not just forgetting about me."
He shook his head.
" I could never forget you. I only took this job to get some more money to search for you.."
He held his mouth.
" I said that? Out loud? "
I nodded a smile spread across my cheeks.
" I'm an idiot."
I looked back at Oli. He was straight faced, I could tell he was pissed and to just generally be an asshole to Drew and piss him off he grabbed me from behind and wrapped his arms around my waist, resting his chin on my shoulder.
Drew menacingly looked at him and then turned his attention to me.
" Anyway, I'll call you. I have to finish my shift and hopefully after this we could hang out.."
I nodded.
" Definitely."
I smiled.
" Oh yeah, your order.. What would you like? "
After stating everything I wanted he ran into the kitchen and brought back our stuff. Making sure to make Olivers Frolio the sloppiest.
I giggled at that and offered Oliver mine. He didn't agree though.
Once I dug my teeth into one of the burgwrs my mind went spiraling out of control. It was way better than bug filled mashed potatoes and mushy hot dog sauce... I swear I'll never eat mashed potatoes and Vienna sausages again!
We made our way to the car and I couldn't wait until Qe'Ana told me what was bothering her.
I yanked her arm.
" Please tell me! " she sighed.
" OK, so... bens in the hospital.."
I could tell she was holding back tears.
" Oh my god no! What happened? "
She looked down and shook her head.
" Overdose, its bad.. Like really bad.. He needs machines that help pump his heart 24/7 or else his lungs will collapse and he will die."
My heart fell in my stomach.
" We have to go to the hospital! "
I said clutching her arms. She nodded.
" Okay."
**Hospital**
I scurried up the flight of stairs getting to Floor B. Where Ben was in intensive care. I ran down the hallways Oliver and Qe'Ana helplessly falling behind me.
" Its the room on the left. That one! " Qe'Ana practically yelled. I ran into the room and suddenly saw Danny and Angelika sitting on hospital chairs beside the bed side. The both stood up.
" Brittany? " they said in unison. I gave them both hugs and stared directly at Ben. His eyes shut.
I cried. Like a baby, I sat there and balled my eyes out.
All I could hear was the beeping, until it stopped and drawed my attention towards the machine.
The constant squigles that showed his heart beat when straight and made a loud screeching noise.
" Nurse!! " Danny yelled running out the door and then coming back with 4 doctors. I stood in shock watching the doctors work, they asked me to leave but I stood there looking at Ben and thinking this couldn't be happening. Oliver grabbed me from the room and towered me outside. As soon as he let me go I took off down the aisle. Running no where in particular, and frightening a line of doctors curiosly looking my way. I ran down the stairs and stopped when I reached Floor A I panted and banged my head against the wall falling to the floor and cupping my legs. I couldn't bear the fact that people were dieing all around me and I couldn't do anything about it. One, I had caused. I had killed him. I had sent him to the after life. I was a murderer.
I told myself. I looked up staring at all of the sick people. Staring at one in particular, he hobbled and wobbled. Trying to balance his weight on one cane. I felt bad for him. He probably dreaded his life, hatig the fact of living. He turned towards me and It was as if I was glued to the ground. I stared in pure terror, my arms suddenly weak my lips unmovable.
" Dad..? Your alive? "
