11-waiting

Christian's POV !!!

Her eyes closed. Her whole body dropped and went weak. All whilst her best friend had just had some kind of overdose.

She fainted at the sight of it. At the shock of it.

When Isabelle had fainted, I was waving my hand in front of her face. Was it my fault she fainted? Was me trying to get her attention spinning her head out?

Noise was coming from everywhere but the only noise I could hear was me calling her name.

We were now sat in the hospital.

Waiting...

Waiting...

Waiting...

Waiting with absolutely nothing to do. Nothing to help with. Just waiting.

Mitchel and Zoe had fallen asleep on the chairs each side of me whilst me and the others remained sitting awake.

Mitchel had called jordan and she got here in about 5 minutes.

All that was running through my head was...in fact, nothing was running through my head. I couldn't even think. Just pure worry. Panic.

We hadn't heard anything from the doctors yet except that Isabelle was okay she just fainted from the shock. However, still nothing from Nora.

Over the past week they had become a part of our group.

Looking back, I should've known what was wrong with Nora. All the signs were there. She had been taking pills. Too many pills. been there, done that.

but for what reason? I don't know and maybe I never will. that wasn't my business anyway.

"You okay over there kras?" Jordan asked, looking at me with sympathetic eyes.

She was the only person I had told about the way i had suddenly started to feel for Isabelle.

I had told Jordan that isabelle was the most gorgeous girl I knew and that the "friendly flirting" as she called it, was more than just friendly in my eyes. I meant everything I said.

I hadn't had a serious relationship since alexa and so I wasn't going to scream out my feelings and make it known. Also, I had only known her for a few weeks. That's not long enough to know if you have real feelings in my eyes.

Even though I already knew her like the back of my hand there was definitely much more to her life than what she had told me so far.

"Just silently praying. You?" I replied sending her as much of a smile I could give right now.

"Yeah, same." Was her reply before she layed her head on mitchels shoulder and held his hand whilst he slept.

"So it wasn't a dream, huh?" Zoe said as she rubbed her eyes.

I felt sorry for her. Both of her bestfriends were laying in hospital beds completely passed out.

I leaned across to grab her hand in attempt to comfort her. She smiled at me and I smiled back.

"Thankyou." She spoke.

"For what?" I questioned.

"Staying here. It'll mean a lot to them both when they wake." She continued.

"If they do." She added as she looked down to her feet.

"Zoe. If they don't wake up, I'll shake them awake myself." Jordan said, earning a laugh from the rest of us who were awake.

"Me too. Plus, they will. I promise." I added.

I know that was a promise i couldn't necessarily keep but I had no doubt in my mind that those girls were going to be okay.

And Nora, She is one of the strongest people I've ever met in my entire life. The three of them together were the best group of people I knew.

They would be fine and was sure of it.

Half an hour later, a doctor had come over to tell us what had happened. He briefly explained that Nora had overdosed on some pills. He suggested that maybe somebody had given them to her or that she had forced them onto herself.

If somebody had given them to her, I had no idea why.

When he had explained what they were going to do with Nora: keep her in and run tests to get it all out of her system, They moved onto talking about Isabelle. Apparently two people could go in to see her at a time because she had just woken up so we agreed that Zoe and Jordan should go first.

They had been in there for about fifteen minutes before they walked back out. They both had slight smiles on their faces which gave me hope.

"She's okay." Zoe said and everybody let out a deep breath.

"Shes asking for you christian." She added and I could feel my heart beating faster.

She really asked for me?

I nodded and looked over to mitchel.

"Go alone." He said in almost a whisper.

I took a deep breath before walking towards her room.

When I walked inside, seeing her on the bed made my chest ache. She looked so upset and hopeless.

She must have been worrying about Nora.

"Hey, sweetheart." I said as I walked towards her bed. She was laying but sitting up at the same time and she looked just as perfect as ever.

I noticed her cheeks flush and it made me smile.

"Hey." She said, looking down a little.

"How're you feeling?" I asked.

"Fine." She replied but I knew she was lying. I could tell by her eyes that she had been blaming herself ever since she woke up. She was beating herself up for nothing.

"You don't have to lie." I said as I sat down in the chair beside her and grabbed her hand in mine.

"I just feel like it was my fault christian. I told her I didn't want to go out last night and she went alone." She let out a deep breath. "And then when it happened I just sat there doing fuck all. And to add on to that, I fainted myself."

Her eyes were now watery and she was on the verge of breaking down.

"Come here." I said as I lifted up and pulled her into a hug. When I reached her, she buried her face into my chest and laid there for a while.

"Don't beat yourself up. There's nothing you could have done. How was you meant to know it was going to happen? And you're not always going to want to go out. It's understandable." I said in my best attempt to make her feel better.

Once she was done letting her emotions out, she lifted her head and smiled at me a little. A tear escaped her eye and I lifted my hand to wipe it.

She was staring at me as I did it and so I didn't remove my hand from her face.

I would stay in this position forever if that was an option. Obviously not in a hospital room but still in this position.

Before I even had time to think, she was moving closer. We both were. I wasn't sure what to do. I didn't want to move too fast. Nor did I want to pressure her into anything she didn't want.

By now, our faces were too close. Too close to move away. If I moved back now, I'd embarrass her. Not that I wanted to move away anyway.

Just as our lips were about to touch, a knock came at the door and we both moved back into our original positions.

I was angry at whoever was at the door.

But then zoe walked in and that anger disappeared.
