'I knew that look dear
Eyes always seeking
Was there in someone
That dug long ago
So I will not ask you
Why you were creeping
In some sad way I already know'

It's been three hours of Thea being in surgery, Roslyn fell asleep when the doctor brought her back. They said that she needed some rest and food when she wakes up. Niall and Liam drove Logan and Elle home because they had school in the morning. 
                          
I know Thea would be pissed if they missed because of her. It was about three in the morning and I was downstairs in the cafeteria with Louis. 
                          
He was getting cereal as I was sat down at a table that was empty . There was only a few patients here along with a few stragglers of nurses and doctors . 
                          
He sat down across from me and slid the bowl to me .  I looked down at the bowl of lucky charms and looked back at Lou. "You need to eat." he said with a mouthful of coco puffs. 
                          
"M'not hungry." I shook my head , the thought of eating right now is making me sick.  "I don't need two of my friends in the hospital tonight, fucking eat." he demanded in a tone I've never heard before from him. 
                          
He sounded scared all in all and was trying to use a mask of commander to cover the fact he was scared for Thea as much as I was. 
                          
I obliged and I took the spoon resting in the bowl an began eating the cereal he had gotten me, Louis was watching me like a hawk as I did so making sure I actually ate it. 
                          
Liam had texted me saying he was going to stay at the loft to make sure that the kids are alright and that they actually got to school tomorrow . Niall was driving back to the hospital to stay with us though. 
                          
Louis jerked his head towards the hallway making me turn around and see Sloan and Juliet walking in our direction. Juliet spotted us and came towards our table and pulled out their own chairs and sat down with us.
                          
"How is she?" Juliet said with a low voice making us all look at her. She's always the one with the most energy and pep. She's never the one to not look on the bright side of things , never the one to not have any hope. 
                          
"Been hours, doctors haven't updates us." Louis answered her as she nodded at him. This feels different from when we got in the accident. Everyone seems to be ...still. No one seemed to be freaking out like last time, no one was frantic. 
                          
Sloan wasn't even as much as death glaring me like I thought she would.  Juliet had dipped down her head to make eye contact with me . I lifted up my head at her as she cupped my cheek and took a tissue out of her jacket. 
                          
She wiped my face of tears I hadn't even realized I was crying but I sniffled while she cleaned my face.  "Thanks." I croaked as she nodded and took her hand away. 
                          
I wish I could be there to comfort Thea right now. I know she can't feel anything because she's in surgery but I want to be there for her anyway.
                          
"Hey." Niall came up to us and sat down next to Sloan and kissed the side of her head. We sat there in silence for god knows how long. 
                          
I kept thinking of Thea and Genevieve and how badly I wanted to fucking kill her. She just has to ruin everything , doesn't she. 
                          
I was happy and Thea was on her way to my dorm with Louis. It didn't matter why she was coming with him , just that she was going and not because I was drunk off my ass or that someone was in danger. 
                          
She was okay with seeing me in a normal setting and Genevieve fucked it up. Maybe she even wanted to forgive me. Maybe she just wanted to talk or just be in the same room without her heart breaking at the sight of me.
