(A.N):Just a heads up but this is a short chapter.

Alex

As soon as school is over, Brandon and I make our way to the hospital. "This is all my fault. Why are you not getting angry at me?" I ask.

"She blocked for a reason. She did it at her own will. Did you ask her to?"

"No." "Then its not your fault."

"It feels like it." I say sincerely. When we get to the hospital we prattically run inside. Brandon goes to the desk to ask for reports.

"Rayanne Lyon came in yesterday. I just wanted to know if any changes happened." Brandon asks in a hurry. "Okay let me call doctor Parkes for you. Please take a seat."

We both sit down waiting anxiously. The wait is unbbearable. I feel like a matter of minutes is going by days.

Finally after what seems like days, Doctor Parkes makes an appearance.

We both stand up and rush over to him. "She's in a coma. The surgery worked, we stopped the bleeding. But something happened with her nerves so now she's in a coma. The amount of time is unpredictable and there is a chance she won't wake up."

We take in all the information. Oh gosh this is all my fault. I should have never went to the cinemas. It was supposed to be just a joke but Taylor took it too seriously. I should have made Rayanne go back.

Now she might not wake up. Why? Because I was just selfish that Rayanne would still go with Taylor after everything.

This is all my fault.

"Would you like to go to her room?" We both nod and follow him. She's in room two-hundred and sixty, nine away from where I was.

I let Brandon go in first and I hear him saying something.

"I swear I will make Taylor pay. When you wake up, if you wake up, I will never let him go near you. I will make sure none of this shit happens to you anymore. I promise."

I lean forward and bury my face in my hands and wait til he comes out.

After about ten minutes he walks out with red eyes. "Bye Alex." He says. He walks off and I enter the hospital room.

Even when I had to come to the hospital for treatments and check ups, I never liked the smell and look of the hospital. Everything was is so white and it has a weird smell to it. It might have just been me.

I sit down in the chair and take her hand. "I'm sorry this happened to you. I would rather take the punch and die than for you to get hurt." 

I sit there staring at her. It seems as if she's lifeless. Like there's nothing left of Rayanne.

A big purple, almost black bruise is forming on the left side of her jaw.

Why you Rayanne? Why you?

Its been three days since Rayanne got punched and everyday at school was agonizing. We would all sit and sulk when we were at the table. No one sat where she normally sat.

In all these three days, I haven't seen Taylor either.

"James? What happened with Taylor?"

"This morning he went to the police. Before he left he said something about how he's turning himself in." He explains.

I take a look around our table. Brandon now sits with us and we all just sit and sulk. Everyone has the same lifeless expression. I haven't been able to eat much in these past three days.

After school I go home to tell my parents that I am going to the hospital.

When I open the door, my three year old brother comes and clings onto my leg me. "Alex, Mummy thaid that thee wants to talk to you before you go to the hothpital." He says. He lost more teeth so he sounds funny.

He looks up at me with his big eyes. "Where is she Pete?" He lets go of my leg and pulls me by my index finger.

He leads me to the kitchen where she's cooking. "Pete can you go play for a minute while I talk to Alex?"

He nods and runs with his arms outstretched like an aeroplane.

She turns the stove off and looks at me. "You never told me who she actually was. You just told me her first name." I knew she would asl this soon.

"I saw it on the news. Why didn't you tell me who she was? You never told me that you were friends with the richest person on earth." She says.

"I never saw a reason to." I answer back. "Here I bought these for you to bring." She walks over to one of the benches and passes me a bouquet of flowers.

"Thanks." I say blankly. "You like her don't you?"

I sigh and look at the flowers. "I can see the worry on your face everytime you head to the hospital."

"She's my friend I'm supposed to be worried." I try to reason.

"True but you have this different expression. It just proves how much you like her more than a friend."

Okay she found me out.

"This is the first time I've seen you like this_" My cheeks get hot and I walk to the door.

"Okay I'm going." I shout as I run to my car. I hear hear laughing amd start the door.

"If only everything else was something that can be laughed off."
