Chapter 16
Michael’s (POV)
I got a call from Ashton saying to come down to the hospital, fortunately they found Phoebe! Unfortunately Calum got arrested… Luke offered to drive and Georgia and Kiara offered to come down to the hospital too. We all sat in the car silently; I couldn’t believe this had happened to my true love. I know deep down Phoebe loved me, god if only we had the evening together! I would have been able to show her what she missing out on! I admit what I did to her, or almost did, in the bedroom at the party was a dickish move but come one! We have known each other for ages and im sure loads of boys think about doing what I had the courage to do, because actually I wasn’t being a dick I was just trying to make Phoebe have a bit of fun, not be so… so frigid. Not ashamed of what I did, at all…
Kirsty’s (POV)
I’ve been sitting in this thin hard chair for over an hour now, my but is completely numb from the lack of padding in the old brown pillow thing. I’ve watched so many people come and go, trying to distract myself from the thought of Phoebe I made up stories of why these people were here. For what felt like 50 fucking years the creaky door opened which revealed a shaken and shocked Calum, who knows what happened behind that closed door… Calum slowly walked out followed my two officers “We've talked to him, and because of what happened tonight we are letting him out on a warning. But if anything like this happens again you will be right back behind that door.” The officer said, it might have just been me but the look on Calum’s face when he said that really made me wonder what had happened.
I grabbed his arm and dragged him out the building, “What were you thinking!” I said as soon as we hit the car park “Oh you’re so comforting! What a nice girlfriend you are, I could have been arrested don’t you care? And all you say is what was I thinking? Well what do you think! My sister could have been dead! I wanted to see her!” He broke out my grip I had on his arm and walked presumably to the hospital. I stood there and thought for a while, what a dick. I understand he is confused and upset but so am I. I could feel tears fall down my cheek. I’ve been with Calum since we started secondary school together and I don’t feel the same way about him as I did back then or even yesterday. I slowly started my long walk to the hospital. Alone.
Ashton’s (POV)
I called Michael to come down as I know that he and Phoebe are close or at least I think they are. I stood outside her door nervous to go in, I’m not sure why but I just was. Almost like I was scared on what I was going to find when I open it. I walked in a strait away hear the beeping of the monitor and the wheezing sound of breathing. There are so many wires connected to her I can’t count them, going in her arms, down her shirt, her nose everywhere. A mask covers her mouth which is basically keeping her alive by giving her air, to think is someone just took it off she would eventually die? I sat on the chair that was next to the bed and looked at her, just looked. My phone buzzed it was a text from Michael saying they were In traffic and would be late getting there, Calum and Kirsty are walking here so it looks like it’s just going to be me and Phoebe for a while.
I watched Phoebe not sure if I should talk or even if I could hold her hand. Her brown hair laid oh so perfectly on her shoulders and over her eyes slightly. “So the doctor said I should talk about fashion? Well I don’t really now so much about fashion, so I guess I’ll just give you an update. Your brother got arrested for punching a police officer, I know right oh course Calum was the one to do that! Well I came with you to the hospital and Kirsty went with Calum, she’s very worried about you, ya know.
Phoebe’s (POV)
I could just see darkness, just dark but I could hear beeping. I tried screaming but nothing, still just black and beeping. I have no idea what’s going on am I dead? What happened to that girl I was with? Then I heard talking soft talking, it was a boy but he sounded lost and tired. I don’t think I’m dead. Not yet any way. “Kirsty, Calum” those words were louder than the other ones, the rest were just mumbles but Kirsty and Calum stood out to me, an image of bright lights and something heading towards me came into my head, I could see me and the girl. There was a car; it was coming at me but I’m not moving, its coming closer “Move!” I shout but no words come out. The car gets closer and…
I sit up breathing heavily holding my chest. I stumble out this high hospital bed and look around, what the fuck is going on? That’s when I realise, I got hit. “Oh my god” I whisper to myself. I turn around and see a girl on the hospital bed I was just on with about a million wires attached to her, wait that wasn't just a girl, that was me. That’s me! I got hit by that car! Am I dying? But who is that? A boy sits in a chair talking to me. Am I a ghost? I sit on the chair opposite him but he doesn’t seem to acknowledge that I’m there. I don’t know who he is but I listen to him anyway “Michael is on his way, with Luke, Georgia and Kiara I expect. They will be here soon but for now it’s just me and you” When he talks to my lifeless body it makes me feel like I’m still worth something, I can’t even remember my own name or if I have friends, is he my friend? Is this Calum and Kirsty and all the others my friends? My parents? My siblings? Boyfriends? I have no idea but all that matters is that the boy talking to me now is one of them. “So Phoebe” Phoebe! That’s has to be my name, right?
“I just want to know, is there anything with you and Michael? Cause if there is I want to know. It’s just I really like you and I don’t know” Aw I don’t even know who this is and he’s making me feel… special. “It’s stupid of course you can’t tell me, I may as well be talking to a mirror. I could spill my heart out to you right now and there wouldn’t be any point because you can’t hear me and it’s not like I could ever do it face to face.” Or so he thinks, I can hear him loud and clear. Now I’m starting to think is this Michael fella my boyfriend? But why isn’t he here with me now? “Please don’t give up, keep fighting for us, for you.” He reaches and put his hand in mine, I get a feeling a good feeling. I’m not giving up that easy, especially as this cute boy holding my hand right now seems like he is broken. Death is just going to have to wait…
