AxP - Will We Be?

Another Point of View

*Gigi's P.O.V*

"Perrie!" I shouted out trying to get her attention, so she would keep her eyes open but no such luck. Looking for the rise and fall of her chest, I realised she was deadly still. She's not moving. She's not breathing. "She's not breathing!" I yelled in panic with the tears falling down.
God, I'm so sick of crying.

"Stay in your seats!" the examiner boomed at me.
"The hell I will!" I shot back running up to her with Jesy not far behind me.
"Has someone called an ambulance?" Jade asked with tears in her eyes as she ran over with Leigh-Anne. The two teachers crouched by her stood up, blocking our way to her. They kept repeating that an ambulance was on its way and that we need to stay back but they couldn't stop me from worrying.

Out of the corner of my eyes, I noticed the other teachers ushering the rest of the year out through the two doors at either side of the hall. Thank God, I thought.
"Girls you should probably leave too, you can't help her," the teacher told us.
"I'm not leaving," I said at the same time as the other three. He didn't bother trying to persuade us, knowing it was pointless.

Then my eyes landed on Alex and I felt a familiar pain in my chest seeing him. He was the last one to leave the hall. He looked like he couldn't quite believe what he was seeing. He looked completely lost. For some reason he looked guilty. The emotion in his eyes exceeded all the emotion he had shown me over the past few months. Before now, that very thought would have made my blood boil but now I didn't even care. I felt the same way he did.

I couldn't believe what just happened. She just fainted. Perrie was one of the healthiest girls I knew, she ate well and exercised. How could someone who took such good care of themselves just pass out?

I felt completely lost. Perrie was the first friend I ever made at the school. She was the truest, kindest funniest person ever. Being the new girl starting in year Eight was so daunting, but she literally took all that away. Everyone already had their friendship groups, so I felt so out of place. If it wasn't for Perrie introducing me to loads of the girls in the year, I wouldn't have made friends with the other girls. She was so warm and welcoming. I trusted her with everything. Besides my best friend Taylor, she was the only one I truly trusted.
When I realised how she felt about Alex it hurt, because I liked him, and she was supposed to be my friend. But deep down I knew, had I not cut her off, she never would have acted on her feelings.

I felt so deeply guilty for everything I had done to her over the year. Such petty pranks. Rather than speaking to her like I should have, I decided to start hanging around with girls that despised her. Girls who encouraged everything. I didn't blame them for any of it. I blamed myself. Becoming friends with them, knowing how petty and despicable they could be, was a stupid idea. I felt sorry for Soreya, Harmony and Felicity. Their friendship with each other was so fake you could practically see cracks the size of the Grand Canyon. Perrie didn't deserve any of it. How could I blame her for feeling for him? You can't control who you fall for.

"What happened?" Jesy spat at me. "Before you came in here? If you did this..."
"This wasn't me okay," I cried, "I wish I knew what was wrong with her, I wish. Then I would know what to do but I don't. I saw her and I blamed her for what happened with Alex, but then I broke down and she comforted me."
The three girls looked at each other and their eyes brimmed with tears.

Just then the ambulance arrived and the paramedics came running in through the fire exit.
"Patients name?"
"Perrie," Jade said.
"Right, I need you all to step away," he asserted, "Perrie, can you hear me? My name is Connor, I'm here to help you okay. I'm just going to check your pulse." He lifted her wrist to feel for her pulse.
Another paramedic asked, "has she been eating well?"
"Usually yes, but not recently," Leigh-Anne answered.
"Right girls, you need to go stand outside with everyone else," the teacher told us firmly.
