A/N: Before you start reading, hi, i'm back. The whole book will be based off Mia's point of view, so if you don't see ___POV, don't worry. Oh and if you forgot, the first half of the story takes place at the hospital, and the last half takes place 4 years later. They'll be separated by *****🌼


I slowly get up and walk towards the door and stop once I get to the door frame. I look down then turn back at the body that is laying on the bed. I don't know why, but I was expecting his blue eyes to be staring back at me. They weren't.

I walk back to the waiting room where all the roommates and Sam were waiting.

"You guys go see him" I slump on the chair as everyone else is standing.

"Mia, a-a" Alena struggles to get words out her mouth.

"I'm fine, you guys go"

"You guys go, Joseph and I will stay behind" Sam says as he grabs Joseph from Alena's arms.

"You sure?" Alena says.

"Just go"

"Okay" Alena, Anthony, and Anastasia slowly walk down the hallway.

"How did this even happen?" Sam asks.

"It's all my fault" I blankly stare at whatever is in front of me, empty chairs.

"I'm sure it's not"

"It is!" I yell a little louder than I intend to, "sorry" I whisper.

"Alright, tell me exactly what happened"

"I was at your place and I had set my alarm for work, but Colby turned it off, which then made me late. I rushed to work and got in a minor accident which is why I got these stitches" I point at the stitches on my forehead.

"Yeah I meant to ask about that"

"They then called him and I'm guessing he rushed too and got in the stupid accident"

"None is this is anyone's fault Mia"

"It's my fault. Everything's my fault. You're going to lose your best friend, and i'm going to lose the fath-" oh shit, I almost told Sam, "lose my boyfriend"

"Mia, stop saying that. Absolutely nothing's your fault. I'm very lucky to have you in my life, you're one of the special people in my heart" he looks at me and I look back at him.

"I-" I look down.

"Just hear me out. Do you want to know why?" I look up and I know he knows the answer, "If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't be here right now"

"What?" I look at him confused, "you're blaming me"

"Mia, let me finish. Please" he grabs my hand. "I wouldn't be holding this precious baby right now" he lets go of my hand and pushes Josephs hair back and I do too, "I wouldn't have met my beautiful girlfriend, and an amazing friend like Anthony. You're the one who brought us all together. If it wasn't for you, I don't know what I would be doing"

"You wouldn't be here"

"Hey, stop saying that. We have this little bundle of joy"

It's quiet for a couple of minutes until I speak up. I'm just going to tell him. But only him.

"Sam" I turn towards him.

"Yeah" he keeps his eyes on Joseph.

"Can I tell you something"

"Anything" he looks up at me.

"Promise not to tell anyone"

"Not even Alena?"
