Stay

Chapter 30

Riley's POV

"Lies." I scream at the tv "He doesn't like you, he's going to make you think that he does, and then secretly cheat behind your back with some whore."

"Who are you screaming at?" Mia questions coming into her living room

"The tv who do you think." I grumble

I'm currently in the middle of some romance movie. I don't know why I was doing this to myself, just had nothing better to do, considering I haven't left Mia's house in like three days.

Yeah I haven't been taking this whole Erik thing quite well, as you can see.

"Alright that's it." Mia says turning the tv off

"Hey I was watching that!" I protest with a mouth full of ice cream

"Not anymore. And by the way this mine." She grabs the large tub of cookie dough ice cream from my hands.

"No need to be grabby." I mutter

Mia rolls her eyes at me "I know just what you need."

A new life.

"What?" I say unenthused

"You'll see, lets go." She says grabbing her purse and walking towards the door

I sigh before getting up and following her out the door.

I didn't have the energy to put up a fight.

"Where are we even going?" I ask once She begins driving

"Patience my friend." Mia chuckles

"I have none." I mumble looking out the window taking it all in before we finally arrive where ever in the world we're going.

"What are we doing here?" I ask confused once Mia pulls into the lot

I've only been here one other time, and that was with Patrick but that was like two years ago, I'm surprised I even recognize the place.

"We're here to blow off some steam." Mia smirks taking her key of the ignition

Paint balling really?

"Are you sure this is a good idea." I gesture to her belly, which is just starting to show

"Riley I'm pregnant, not dying." She chuckles getting out of the car

I just shrug and follow in pursuit

We pay, before grabbing our gear and heading out into the field.

Within the first five minutes Mia and I were on a roll. Shooting right and left, dodging as if they're bullets. I got to say we make a pretty good team.

"You doing alright?" I ask Mia as we hide behind a stack of hay, using it as a shield

"Hell yeah, I never felt so alive."

"Glad your having fun." I chuckle as I reach for my vibrating phone

"Ugh." I groan

"What?" Mia asks facing me

I show her the incoming call, the one and only Jonathan Toews.

"Ignore it." she shrugs

And I do

"Alright Mia, are you ready to kick some..." I turn around and Mia's gone

"Mia." I call out

We had one rule, we promised we would stick together for her sake. And what does she do, goes and runs off.

"Mia." I call out a second time

Where in the world did she go?

"Mia." I stop dead in my tracks

There laying just few feet in front of me, was Mia's unconscious body

"Mia!" I scream rushing over to her "Wake up." I try shaking her a bit

"Someone help!" I scream

~*~

I've been in the hospital for an hour now and still no news on Mia. I can't help but feel guilty, if I would of kept my eyes on her this might of not have had happen.

I'm snapped out of my thought when I hear

"Riley."

I look over to see Jonathan franticly walking my way

"Any news?"

"Nope." I say popping the p "They won't tell me anything because I'm not family."

He nods before gesturing to give him a minute as he walks to receptionist's desk

"Excuse me I'm here to see my sister." Jonathan says politely to receptionist

"Name?" She asks snapping her gum, not bothering to look up

"Mia Toews." He replies whispering the last part, hoping not to attract too much attention

I smirk as the girl's eyes nearly bulge out of her sockets.

"Oh my God you're Jonathan Toews!" She squeals

"Yeah." He awkwardly laughs, looking around to see if anyone heard her. Luckily everyone around was too caught in their own little world, to even bother to notice.

I tried hiding my smirk but had no success , as I watch the girl practically drool over Jon. She looked about my age, but I could already tell she was just one of those girls, I mean she was already flirting with him like seriously?

I watch as Jonathan shifts uncomfortably, I could tell he was growing impatience.

"What room did you say she was in?" He asks

"212."

"Thanks." He smiles politely before turning to me as we began to walk past her desk

"Excuse me you can't go in there." The recepinist glares at me

"It's ok she's with me." Jonathan flashes her a quick smile, guiding me out, before she can get another word out

"Do you always flirt with girls like that?" I raise my eyebrows

"Only if it gets me what I want." He nudges my elbow

I roll my eyes at him just as we find the room

He motions for me to go in, as we enter guilt immediately washes over me, as I see Mia hooked up to a bunch of wires.

"I'll be right back." Jon tells me, spotting the doctor

I take a seat next to the bed

"Well Doc says he thinks she had a seizure, but they're still running the tests so it's not yet confirm. They did however give her some medicien to sleep, so she won't be waking up anytime soon." He says stepping back into the room

"A seizure?" I question confused

"Yeah I guess, but they're still running the tests so its not yet a hundred percent sure." Jon shrugs "I have to make a quick a call, so ill be right back, but do you want anything like a coffee or something?"

"I'm good." I reply

"You sure?"

I nod

He sighs before leaving

I lean back into the chair, as I watch Mia sleep.

I'm just glad she's ok.
