Stella P.O.V.
I woke up with beeping. All to familiar. I feel like I'm at the hospital every two weeks. Something happens all the time. And I'm pregnant that's even worse. Pregnant!
My eyes flung open and I slapped Max to wake up. He lifted his head with bloodshot eyes and rubbing his head.
"Morning" he said yawning.
"The baby. Max tell me" I said quickly.
"The little one is 100%. She's okay. She never lost air during your episode and she's totally fine." He said. I gave a relieved sigh and relaxed. "But we have bad news." He said holding my hand.
"What? What's wrong?" I asked.
"James. He was in a car accident." He said quietly. My whole world shrinked in an instant. This is my fault.
"Is he okay?" I asked scared of the answer.
"I don't know. Adam is with him now and he hasn't given me an update." He answered checking his phone. I nodded and looked down at my hands. He knew what was going through my mind.
"Stella. Listen to me. This is not your fault. Do not blame this on you. He will be okay." He reassured me. He doesn't know that. He doesn't known if he will be okay.
"Ah! Stella! You're awake!" My doctor said. I nodded but showing no emotion what so ever. He put hand sanitizer on and walked over to me. "How are you feeling? Any shortness of breaths? Nausea? Dizziness? Any of that?" He asked. I shook my head and looked down.
"Is there something I need to know Stella?" He asked quietly. I shook my head. I don't feel like talking right now. I'll probably just break down and cry. "Max? Can you explain this please?" He said turning to my fiance.
"There is a patient in here that works with us" he said. "James Haffner."
"Ah yes. The guy that's lucky to be alive." He said nodding. "He is all okay. Just loads of rest for him," he said. Thank you lord. He's okay.
"Can I see him?" I asked.
"Actually. Yes. You need to get up and walk a bit. But you know the deal. If you get dizzy stop. Blah blah" He said winked and walked out. I love my doctor. He's like cool but professional.
I got up and grabbed my iv cart. I took Max's hand and we walked to James' room. It was room 211. I knocked on the door and he said to come in. I slowly opened the door and asked in. James was sitting up and eating some food. When he saw me he stopped eating and dropped his food.
"Stella? Why are you in the hospital?" He asked setting his plate aside.
"I could ask the same about you." I said and laughed. "Can you give us a minute?" I asked Max. He nodded and waved to James. He opened the door and shut it behind him.
"We put each other in here didn't we?" He asked sitting up even more. He grunted in pain as he sat up.
"Yeah we did. What happened?" I asked walking to him. I say on the edge of his bed and placed my hand if his leg. He lifted up his shirt and I gasped. There was cuts all in his abdomen and his stuff had a huge bandage on it.
"Glass mostly, whiplash, concussion. And internal bleeding but I'm fine just sore. I'm lucky to be alive and walking. I got hit by a semi and my seat belt broke and flew out of the windshield. My car is totaled and the driver side of my cat it'd completely crushed." He explained. I nodded looking at his stomach. "What happened to you? Please tell me the baby is okay."
"Yeah she's fine. After you left my office. I had a panic attack. Inn five the baby didn't lose any air supply." I answered. He nodded looking at my stomach.
"James." I started.
"No. Stella do not blame this on yourself. I'm the I've who didn't look both ways. I'm the ice who decided to leave. I'm the one who was a total ass to you. This is my fault and I hurt you I will never forgive myself. I hurt Emily also I will never forgive myself." He stated. Emily? What happened to Emily? He noticed my confusion and explained. "When I was leaving from the office. Em tried to stop me and all what's wrong. She keep stepping in front of me and I wad getting tired of it so I pushed her. Apparently I pushed her to hard and she fell into the wall. I don't know if she's okay or not."
"She'll be fine. She's tough. I'm just happy that you are okay." I said. He smiled and sifted a bit. He posted the footage next to him and I laid beside him.
"You know. If anything happened to you I would do anything to save you." James said looking at the ceiling. I love him. I have so many like brothers. But he is my number one. Since Ross left the offices I haven't talked to him in awhile. I kinda miss him but James has filled in that big brother spot. Next to Max he's my best guy friend. I leaned my head on his shoulder and looked at his stomach.
"Lil sis." He said laughing. "You basically are my sister."
"Yeah and you are like my big brother." I said. There was a knock on the door and it opened. Max peeked in the room and looked at us.
"You two are crazy. And James there is someone here to see you. Her name is Taylor." He said opening the door.
"Yeah let her in." James said. I sat up as a girl walked in. She had brown hair, skinny figure and very pretty.
"Oh. I didn't know you had company." She said in a small voice.
"No no it's fine. Taylor this is Stella. Stella this is Taylor." He introduced. "Taylor, Stella works with me she's like my little sister but we aren't related. Stella, I met Taylor during the accident she basically helped me through the pain." He explained. I hopped off the bed and wallked to her. I hugged her. She was confused at first but then hugged me back. "She's a hugger." He laughed.
"Thank you for taking care of James for me." I said.
"You're welcome. You know that he was flirting wth me when he was like dying." She said laughing.
"Of course he was. I'm not surprised." I laughed with her.
"I'm right here you know." He said crossing his arms. We laughed and I waved to him.
"I'll leave you too some alone time." I said. "Nice to meet you Taylor. James see you later." I opened the door and closed it behind me.
"That was his lady friend" I said and grabbed Max's hand. He laughed and we started walking back to my room.
"Did she seem sketchy to you?" He asked.
"What do you mean?" I asked confused.
"Everyone in the hospital knew her. Some doctors gave her hugs and like she seemed so comfortable in this hospital." He explained.
"Well maybe she worked her before." I said.
"Doubtful. Did you see how skinny she was. Unhealthy skinny." He stated. I stopped walking and turned to him.
"Are you saying that she was a patient here with an eating disorder?" I asked.
"It could be very likely. I mean she had like no fat on her!" He exclaimed.
"Max, I'm not even going to this. You do not know her life so don't make assumptions okay?" I asked nicely. He nodded and I let go of his hand. Why does he think that? It doesn't even make sense.
I walked in my room and the doctor was there. I smiled and sat back on my bed.
"How was the visit?" He asked, checking my vitals.
"Good. I'm fine he's fine. Everything is okay" I snapped.
"Woah. What happened. Was it Max? What he do now?" He asked looking at Max.
"The girl that is with James. Do you know her?" He asked.
"Taylor Sanders? Yes she was a resident here for 3 years. She is recovering from anorexia." He stated. Max looked at me and smiled. How was he right? Ugh I hate him.
"Thanks." I said.
"You're free to go. If you feel dizzy, sick or have another panic attack come back okay?" He said taking my iv out. He put a band aid over it and took off his gloves.
"Thanks Darren" Max said shaking his hand. I hugged him and we walked out. I don't think I should say goodbye to James be issue I don't know if Taylor is still in his room. I don't want to interrupt them.
"I have to go pee" I said letting go of Max's hand and walked o the bathroom. I opened the door and went in a stall. Before I sat down I heard someone puking. I opened the stall and went out.
"Is someone in here? Are you okay?" I asked looking from stall to stall. The gagging stopped and the toilet flushed. I stall door opened on the end opened and the last person I expected walked out. Taylor walked out of the stall with a hoodie on her hand in her pocket with the hood up.
"Taylor? What's wrong?" I asked walking to her.
"Just the stomach flu." She said washing her hands. Her eyes were bloodshot like she was crying.
"Were you crying?" I asked. She shook her head and gave a small smile.
"No I'm just really tired. I've been up with James all night I haven't had any sleep." She explained.
"Oh okay. You should go home. He would understand completely don't worry." I reassured. She nodded and quickly walked past me. That was weird. I hope she is just tired. Even that I don't know her that well I hope she is okay.
