“How was your outing yesterday?” Her mum asked.

    Steph held Mia’s hands as the machine beeps echoed in the room. It had been about 2 days since Mia was brought into the emergency.Steph stared at Mia’s face, how vulnerable she looked and she prayed silently that her friend gets well soon.Steph wiped the tears that had unknowingly escaped her face. Mia was still unconscious and hasn’t even opened her eyes yet.Oliver stood by the door as he watched Steph with Mia. He couldn’t help but feel like everything that was happened was his fault. If only he hadn’t been so selfish and wanted Steph so badly, maybe all of that wouldn’t have happened.He couldn’t bring himself to stay next to her. His conscience couldn’t allow it. The more he saw her, the more he wished he didn’t call Frank to tell him about MiaMaybe if he had just allowed her leave that day and told Steph, all that wouldn’t have happened.“Why are you standing by the door?” Steph asked, turning in Oliver’s direction.Oliver was about to walk in when his phone started to ring.

Steph asked, looking up at Alex.Alex sat next to Steph on the chair."The police have already gotten to where Frank and Mia are," he explained.Steph sighed."That's a sign of relief at least.""What they did is crazy, I don't know why Frank would do that to me. He is supposed to be my best friend," Alex said. He was really pained and had expected so much more from his friend."I can't believe Oliver too. Is the police going to get him too? Steph asked.Even after all the terrible things he did. She still cared for him. "We don't have enough evidence on him yet so it's only if Frank and Luna drag him along with them," he explained."First, she lied about being pregnant and all and now this? I can't believe that both of them would do such to me. That's really desperate," he added."What did Leslie say about Isabella? Will you two be able to get her back?"
