The countdown

Part 5 - Hmm

- Octavia's POV -

My head felt light and I felt woozy as I slowly started to sit up. Stupid move, my eyes weren't even open and I'm trying to sit up. It's not that my head hurts when I try and sit up, nothing hurts, I feel slightly light headed but that's it. What's stopping me is a weight on my chest.

I go to open my eyes and see I'm in a dark room. No one is around me, not that I can see anyway. It's a small room with only a bed and a small cupboard. Although it's a small room it's a king size bed from the looks of it and takes up most of the space.

Again I try to get up, forgetting the weight on my chest and fall back onto the pillow. My arms travel to the weight on my chest and find its an arm weighing me down. I follow up the arm to see Toby, asleep on the bed also. I'm a bit confused to why I'm here, I don't remember anything apart from coming into the warehouse. Is that where I am now? Hmm?

While I'm lying there trying to think of why I could be here I feel my nose start to tickle. Hmm, what's that? I'm a bit confused at first until I sneeze. Oh so that's what it was. Ok, so I'm not the best sneezer. You know those people that literally jerk themselves forward from the force of the sneeze? Yeah that's me. And with the force the weight comes of me and Toby sits right up next to me.

"Ok first of, what was that? Secondly, you need to lie down until the doctor gets here." Doctor? What Doctor?

"Firstly, that was a sneeze. Secondly, Doctor?" I say confused and once the thoughts register in my mind that a doctor was coming I started to worry. "Has something happened to me? Am I seriously ill? Am I dead?" Before I can continue, Toby puts his arms on my shoulders and pushes me down slowly.

"Octavia, you collapsed. You were shaking and couldn't speed up your breathing and you just collapsed. We don't know what is wrong so we need to get you checked out." Toby says calmly, as if he is trying to calm me down. It's not working.

"I don't want a doctor. I don't need one. I'm fine now see look." With that I jump up of the bed and make my way towards the door. I don't turn around to face Toby because I don't want to see what his face looks like.

"Octavia, please get back here. There is something wrong and we are just trying to help." As he says that sentence his voice gets louder. He's making his way towards me. Slowly placing his hand on my shoulder he turns me around. "Please come back to the bed, you need to rest." I stand my ground and don't move. But that only lasts for a few minutes as I start to get light headed.

"Fine, but no doctor. Promise." I looked dead in Toby's eyes and knew I was portraying all the emotions of not wanting a doctor. I had nothing against them, I just hated how they either came with good news or bad. They could tell you something you really didn't want to know. So no, I didn't want a doctor here.

"Fine, but you have to lay down and at least stay here for a couple of hours more until we know you are 100% fine." He goes to walk out the door but I stop him just in time. He stares at me with a questioning look until he gets what I'm getting at. "Yes I promise." Not completely sure, seeing as he hated me at the start, I carry on staring at him. "Tav, I pinky promise." That sentence alone makes me believe him and bought a smile to my face.

However, he continues his way to the door and not going to lie but being alone in a place I don't know is another one of my fears. "Don't leave me, I'm scared." He quickly turns to face me and hides my face so he can't see the emotion running threw it.

"I'm not going to leave you I just need to tell the guys your awake and tell them to cancel the doctor." With the cover up to my face I don't know if he has started to walk to the door again or not but I shake my head hoping he is still looking at me. I hear a sigh and then feel the bed dip telling me he did see me. Lifting my head up, he sits down next to me and reaches to the small cupboard and lift up his phone. He types in a few numbers and puts the phone up to mis ear.

"Hey, yes she's awake. She doesn't want the doctor to come, so can you cancel her... Thanks... Yes you can come in." And with that the whole lot of boys bundle into the room. Toby hangs up the phone as Harv comes and sits the other side of me.

"Why don't you want a doctor?" He questions straight away and turns my head to face him by putting his finger under my chin. I squirm at the contact, I never really liked anyone touch me unless it was my family or a really close friend. They didn't make it into any of those categories. Yet anyway.

"I just don't like doctors, and I'm fine"

Harv turns to Toby. "Why did you say no to the doctor, you saw what happened to her. She collapsed Toby, that isn't normal. She needs to see someone."

I hear Toby huff but before he can say anything, Jake and James interrupt. "Her breathing was so slow Toby." They had worry etched onto their faces and I felt bad I caused that.

"She doesn't want a doctor and she had got up of the bed and wouldn't sit back down and she looked like she was about to collapse again what was I supposed to do." He huffed.

"Do you guys have any idea why I collapsed?" I questioned. They all turned to me and then looked at each other and then back at me.

"Octavia, we honestly don't know that's why we need a doctor to check on you. She won't do anything you don't want her to do. Please just let us call the doctor." I'm not being harsh but I don't want a doctor here and so I had to stand my ground.

"No, I don't want one, Toby promised. I'm fine. Now if you don't have anything else to say, leave me alone." And with that I cuddle under the blanket.
