The Heart is Always Searching (6)  by xoxundefined

(At Blue Ranges Hospital.)

I never thought that visitors in the waiting room could be so comforting. I knew exactly 5 people in the room, since I had been there forever, at least that it what it seemed like.

There was Ms. Alice waiting for her son to come out of surgery. Ms. Alice was so nice. She really resembled my grandmother in so many ways. I felt bad about her son having to have open-heart surgery.

Then, there was Melissa and Lizzie waiting for their sister, Ashley series of medical test to be completed on her. Melissa was my age so we had some stuff in common. Melissa and Lizzie were both so funny together. Even thought I was sad, they kept me happy. Weird, huh?

Last but not least of my NEW friends in the hospital waiting room was Alexa and Patrick. They had an 8 year old daughter, Cassie that sadly was just recently diagnosed with Cancer, Leukemia to be exact. Alexa and Patrick were so sweet and they are how I pictured myself in the future. They told me all about Cassie. Cassie loved playing with Barbie's, watches Disney, admired Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus, and even had a little crush on the Jonas Brothers (Nick).

The whole time in the waiting room, all I could think about as Joe. I wanted to know if he was okay. Sure, I was a little mad at him, but I still was worried. I felt like everything was MY fault. I got out of his car, I forced him mentally to chase me, I ignored him while he wondered into the busy street, and I let him get hit by a car. I was the cause. It was all me.

Not long after I got everyone in the waiting rooms' life stories down, whom other than Kevin and Nick to show up.
I immediately ran up to Kevin, brushing Nick's shoulder, indicating I was still mad at him. I gave Kevin the longest and tightest hug in the universe, before I let go, Kevin sighed.

"Everything will be okay, Felicia. Don't worry." Kevin whispered in my ear.

I immediatly felt safe and believed what he said. Kevin always had that big brother effect on me, basically since I have met him!

Then, I introduced Kevin and Nick to Ms. Alice, Melissa, Lizzie, Alexa, and Patrick.

Nick's POV

I could defiantly tell that Felicia was ignoring me completely. I know she was mad because I lied, but I really wanted to tell her why. I was only trying to keep her from getting hurt.

"Uh, Felicia. Can we talk, alone?" I asked, expected a rude come back.

"I don't know if I want to hear all the lies coming out of your mouth." She shot back, exactly what I was expecting from her.

"Alright. I deserve that, but I really want to talk to you." I pleaded.

"Fine." She muttered.

She got up and walked to the elevator so I followed behind.

"Look, Felicia. I know that I screwed up, but I was only doing it to help you. I would never lie to you, unless it was going to help you. I know that sounds stupid, and it probably is stupid. The truth is that I found out that Joe was going to break up with you, he never told you so I got mad and lied. It was just I was having so much fun when it was just you and me, because you weren't worried and I liked that. I'm really sorry. I don't know if Joe broke up with you or not yet, he may have changed his mind, but I needed to tell you, because our friendship means so much to me. I hope you can forgive me!" I blurted out so fast, I ran out of breath towards the end.

Felicia gave me a dirty look. I knew she was really mad so I just shut up.

"Our friendship means a lot to me too!" Felicia said with a smile.

"Really? I am sorry." I said, shocked. I didn't know what to say.

"Yes. I can't stay mad at my BFF, now can I? I forgive you!" She said, leaning into a hug.

I smiled and let out a sigh. I was so relieved now. When I pulled away from the hug I saw her crying.

"What's wrong?" I asked, concerned.

"I just feel like everything that happened today was my fault. I mean, if Joe hadn't been my boyfriend you wouldn't have lied to me and we wouldn't have been fighting. If I hadn't gotten out of Joe's car, he would be safe. Everything fell onto my shoulders, it's my fault." She managed to say in between tears.

"No. Nothing is your fault. Don't say that." I said, reassuring her.

She leaned into a hug again. By this time there were other people in the elevator, so it was weird.

"Thanks Nick. I love you." She whispered in my ear.

"I love you, too." I whispered back, I didn't know what else to say.

It was one of those awkward moments. I mean I know that I loved her and she loved me as friends, but it was just so weird with everything that is going on. When she said 'I love you' she meant it as, you're a good friend and I love you like a brother or a pet, but when I said 'I love you' I meant it as, she is an amazing friend and I love her more than air, more than a friend.
