Lost For Words, chapter 1
Mike sat down in the hall with his arms around Raina. The girl had just broken up with her boyfriend and Mike thought it was only right for him to comfort her. He sat there silently with her, and stroked her hair watching her fall asleep. That was until Tré, Billie and Steph entered though the back door.
`Tré, Billie wait up for me', Steph called, both of them having trouble walking because of the laughing fit they were in. They stopped when they saw Mike and Raina in the hall together.
`Oh look who Mikey's with', Steph teased. Mike glared at her, and started to go a light shade of pink. Steph loved the fact that she could embarrass her brother and get away with it; most of the time, and this time was one of them.
`Steph don't say another word', he told her sternly.
`Steph don't say another word', she mimicked him, bursting out into laughter when she was done.
He looked at her, and then focused back on the sleeping girl next to him.
`Aww how cute, ouch', Tré tripping over the hall rug, and falling down. Billie and Steph burst into a fit of laughter again, not being able to control themselves.
`Guys would you be quiet you'll wake her up', Mike scolded them. They slowly stopped and tried to control themselves. Tré walked back over to them, to find out what was going on. He put one arm over both Billie and Steph, which caused Steph to start giggling again for no reason.
`OMG, you two are as bad as eachother', Mike let out, watching them carefully.
`We are not', Steph replied, staring down at her brother. She could tell that's something was going to happen just by the way he's eyes looked. This time a family feud.
`Yes you are. Next thing we know you two both like Rancid', Mike said sarcastically. Tré and Steph looked at eachother, in shock.
`But we both do like Rancid?', Tré told him, before screaming and running out of the house.
`What the hell is he on?', Mike asked. Billie and Steph just continued to giggle and watch a sleeping Raina on the floor sitting next to Mike. He got up and felt his sister's forehead.
`Are you on the same thing Tré's on?', he asked her.
`No, we're not on anything', She told him, smiling like she was up to something. In Mike's mind, she knew he would be thinking that she was. So she kept the joke going on a little longer. He took his and off her forehead and turned out, but at the same time tripped the way Tré had and fell into Raina's lap, causing it to look as if he had kissed her.
`Oh Mike and Raina sitting a tree', Steph teased.
`K.I.S.S.I.N.G', Billie added.
`First comes love then comes marriage', Steph continued.
`Then comes Raina with the baby carriage', Billie finished, before the two burst out into laughter again, finishing it off with a high five. Little did they know though that Raina had heard them, but little did Mike know that she thought he had started it.
`Mike, I thought, you were here to comfort me, not make fun of me', Raina told him, getting up as quickly as she could to run away.
`Raina, I didn't say anything, just stay', he said, reaching out to grab her hand, but it was no use he couldn't reach her. He got up and ran after her but it was no use, she was already outside of the house. Still though he decided to chase her hoping to catch her.
`Do you think he'll manage to get her', Steph asked the boys who were still standing with her. The shrugged their shoulders and the three of them started laughing in hysterics again, about the most random things you could imaging. That's when they heard it. The noise that would change their life forever. The screeching of car breaks and soon after the sound of an ambulance siren going off.
-Two Days Later-
`Can we go in and see her', Steph asked her brother. Mike stood there unaware of the question he was just asked, looking though the window of which he could see Raina on the otherside laying quietly on her hospital bed. Within the few seconds of silence they had, the heart rate monitor let out a large ear deafening screech. They both ran in, to see what was happening.
`She's gone, she's gone', Mike cursed.
`No she's not, this happens all the time, you just have to whack the machine a few times', Steph told him, giving the machine a good thump. It went back to its original beep sequence. Mike looked up to the roof, as if the skies had just answered one of his prayers.
`Mike, she's not going to leave you', Steph told him. Mike picked up Raina's hand.
`Can she hear me?', Mike asked.
`Try talking to her', Steph told him. He nodded, and then there was an awkward silence. Steph took this as a sign that Mike wanted to be alone.
`I'll go talk to the guys outside and let you two speak', she told him, walking out of the hospital bed room.
`Is she alright?', Tré asked, as Steph walked up to them.
`Yeah she seems to be. Mike wants to talk to her, so I left them alone. He'll call us in when its time for us to speak to her', she explained to them. She took a seat between the two boys and just waited.
-TWO HOURS LATER-
Mike came out with his eyes all puffy and red.
`Bro are you alright?', Steph asked him, but she knew straight after she shouldn't have. She knew something was wrong.
`Mike you alright?'....
`Tré, Billie wait up for me', Steph called, both of them having trouble walking because of the laughing fit they were in. They stopped when they saw Mike and Raina in the hall together.
