Yellow flowers (Crygi/Gistal)

EIGHT

Gigi's world went silent. She felt completely breathless. Did the others know? She pulled away from the other and stood up slowly.

She read the words coming out of Rock's mouth. "Crash- Fatal- Hospital-" Even Dahlia walked up to Gigi. She knew how close she and the other girls were as she was once a part of that group. Her heart broke for Gigi and for once she didn't care to hide it.

"Crystal... I need to find Crystal." Gigi whispered and turned to walk towards the classroom's door without even moving her face an inch. She stumbled over her own feet and fell to the floor. The other two saw what bad shape she was in and they knew they couldn't leave Gigi alone right now.

Dahlia placed a hand gently on Gigi's shoulder. "Geeg. We'll take you to the hospital. Come on." They helped Gigi up and each of them helped her walk out of the building. Gigi kept staring blankly ahead. This didn't feel real at all. Maybe like a bad prank or a television show. She was prepared for her friends to smile at her and yell something like "SURPRISE" with a bunch of golden confetti flying all around her but they never came nor did the confetti.

Soon she was sitting in the back of Dahlia's car, Rock in the drivers seat and Dahlia in the back seat next to her, holding her hand soothingly. She watched outside the window and watched all the yellow brick houses. Never had she hated the color so much. She picked at the leather seat nervously as she held back the tears that wanted to spill out so badly.

They arrived at the ER. Gigi had never liked hospitals. They were all white and shiny, as if trying to make people think everything was alright when they weren't. They all rushed in asking for their friends and the yellow clad nurse 'Martha' nodded and lead the way into the building. An elevator ride up, a stair down through a few glass doors and they arrived at a white room. In there she saw Jan on the bed with her arm in a bind. She had a few scratches and bruises but she looked fine. Jackie sat in a chair next to her without a scratch.

Jackie's eyes lit up over the sight of Gigi. She immediately got up and hugged her tightly.

"I tried to call you from the hospitals phone but you didn't answer."

 That was when Gigi let the first tear leave her eyes. With the first came the second and third and soon they were sobbing in each others arms. Gigi kneeled down next to Jan who had a big teddy bear next to her that her mother had bought for her.

"I'm so glad you're fine. I mean almost fine..." Gigi breathed a sigh of relief as her hand was gently rubbed by Jan. "Well it could be much worse, couldn't it?" Jan giggled and squeezed Gigi's hand. Gigi smiled back at Jan. Even in dire situations she always found some positive side to life, and she chose to always look at it.

"Where is Nicky and Crystal?" Gigi asked, worry forming in her throat and stomach once again. In that very moment someone walked into the room. "Where's who?" It was Nicky. She looked fine apart from some bruises on her face and a bandage wrapped around her head. There was an apparent scar on her forearm but it was sown shut so she had probably already been treated. She was holding two cans of ginger ale. Before handing them to Jan and Jackie she embraced her best friend in a tight hug. Gigi hugged her back tightly and kissed her cheek. "Gosh, you look terrible!" Nicky laughed at Gigi who scoffed at the french. "Says you?" Nicky chuckled and wiped a tear out of her friends eye.

"Have you met Crystal yet? She left to go to the bathroom." Nicky pointed back to where the bathrooms were. Gigi felt relieved and sat down at the couch in the room. She just needed to breathe right now. She had expected to lose her friends today and the fact that they all made it out without more then a few broken bones filled her with such relief. 

You never really know what you've got until you're on the verge of losing it.

Gigi's heart felt as if it was restored when she saw Crystal walk through the door. She was fine but her foot was in a worse condition. It was wrapped in bandage and she stood there, trying to walk properly in crutches. Gigi's heart ached when she saw her flinch in pain. She immediately stood up and walked up to her.

"Gigi! I never noticed-" She didn't get any further before Regina pulled her close and pressed her lips on Crystals. Nicky gasped and her mouth formed into the biggest smile while Jan and Jackie just looked at them like proud lesbian mothers.

Crystal wrapped her arms around Gigi and kissed her back. Fuck the butterflies, she felt birds in her stomach when she was close to Gigi. She loved her, and this just felt right. 

They parted lips and looked at each other with loving eyes. "God, you never cease to amaze me, Gigi." She leaned in and kissed the girl again and Gigi felt her knees get weak.
