SONG - TWO CHORDS BY SLEEPING WITH SIRENS

TONY'S POV

Elle wandered off into the hospital room with the doctor whilst me and Jaime waited outside. I remained in my seat whereas Jaime started pacing the corridor with his head in his hands. Luckily, it was a quiet corridor and a small amount of nurses passed through. 

"Jaime, please sit down"

"What have I done?" Jaime replied, ignoring what I said. "My best friend. What the fuck have I done to my best friend? And Elle. Now she'll hate me too."

"Jaime pull your shit together. Vic won't blame you and neither will the rest of us."

Helplessly, Jaime raised his head and ceased pacing,

"Why don't you go ring Mike? He needs to know" I pulled a few bills out of my pocket and handed them to him and he trailed off into the hospital to find a payphone.

Remaining still for a few minutes, I had time to think. Being alone was perfect for this. I had been the only one to remain level headed but I was still worried as fuck. A student nurse walked out of the room.

"Hey, excuse me, can I ask how Vic Fuentes is-" I cut myself off as the nurse looked up with her blonde hair scraped back into a bun. "Angel!" 

"Tony! Hi!" She grinned at me. "Vic's doing ok, he should be awake soon. He'll even be able to go home tomorrow or perhaps the day after but he will be ok. He needs a lot of support though."

"Yeah, I know. I didn't know you were a nurse."

"Just a student nurse, I graduate next month though."

"That's awesome!" I realised I had said that way too enthusiastically which created an awkward tension but Angel simply giggled.

"I gotta go and file Vic's paperwork but I'll see you soon." Angel turned and started walking away in a rush.

"Hey Angel! What do you say we go out for a drink sometime? Like, uh, tonight?"

"I don't finish till six but sure!" The grin returned to her face.

"I will text you later then" She rushed off down the corridor, sneaking one last glance as she turned the corner and I spotted a grin streching across her face, matching my pre-existing expression.

Jaime's POV

 My head was spinning.

This is all your fault Jaime

Look what you've done now

Now you're gonna have to tell his brother what you did to your best friend

I typed Mike's number, copying it off of my phone, hesitating before I hit the call button.

"Hello?" Mike's voice rang in my ear

"Mike. It's me, Jaime."

"What's up Jaime? Everyone holding up fine?"

"Yeah - wait - no."

"What's gone on? You ok?""

"Not really Mike" I bit my lip, holding back the tears.

"What's gone on?" Mike sounded truly concerned

"It's Vic. He-"

"Oh God what's happened?"
