Everyone's got a secret

" Michael ... Michael "- Kirsty began to scream in both fear and a little excitement.

At first she thought that Michael was waking up but then realises that he was shaking and that his heart rate was drastically increasing.

" Doctor !! Nurse somebody get in here !! "- Owen shouted and ran out the hallway to try and find someone to help.

The doctors rush in and notice that Michael is awake yet seems to be In a state of trance . He quickly sends everyone out of the room and starts to examine him. Everyone waited outside at the reception area. Jeremy held Katy in his arms as she cried. Katy was very emotional, although she's only known Michael for over a month and hardly had a conversation that lastest longer then a minute. She was the type that would cry at a funeral of someone she has never met. Owen held Kirsty and comforted her.

" His awake Kirsty, that's a good sign " - he said and gave her a tight hug.

" That's not the way I want him to be awake " - she cried

Maitreya and Chris arrive at the hospital. They were both a bit flustered and still out of breath from their previous activities. Maitreya had not even touched up on her makeup or covered up a visible bite mark on her shoulder. They walked in unison towards the rest of their friends and Miguel updated them on what happened to Michael and why they were outside waiting.

Jeremy left Katy with Elsie and joined Maitreya and Chris "Hey Chris, how've you been ? ''

" hmm " - Chris looked at him suspiciously

" yea, about that, we need to talk... somewhere privately maybe ? '' - he said looking guilty and turned towards Maitreya indirectly asking her to leave

She hadn't noticed him because she was distracted in her own thoughts about what had happened earlier with Chris.

" I know what this is about Jeremy '' - he said with a raised eyebrow

" Then I assume you'd like to take this conversation elsewhere " - Jeremy continued, crossing his hands.

" Who did you go to see? " - Chris curiously asked

" shut up,I said let's ..." he paused and looked over at Maitreya who was now curiously listening to their conversation

" hmm... I'll just find the girls" - she awkwardly said and walked away.

" dude, you're messing with her feelings" - Jeremy said and glanced at Maitreya

" I'm not the one who visited the campus to meet with my ex '' - Chris blurted

" woah Chris, Keep it down " - he said frantically.

They both had secrets and different reasons to be at the campus that day. Jeremy went to meet his ex girlfriend Nikita but when Katy spotted him, he pretended that he was there for her and surprised her with lunch. Chris was there too, he saw when Jeremy met Nikita and watched him apologising to her after he had to spend lunch with his current girlfriend Katy. Although Jeremy did not know who Chris was there to see but he did catch him french kissing a blonde girl while being very publicly intimate together.

After a while the boys joined the rest of the them at the reception.

" why the grumpy face ? " - Chris whispered as he nudged Maitreya

" Now's not the time Chris "- Maitreya said after giving him a deadly stare

Michael's doctor enters the room and looks to find his parents.

" You're lucky that he woke up, we called you here earlier because there has not been much progress and the worst was to be assumed " - The doctor said

Kirsty shivers at this statement, her body felt cold and her hands began to shake as she anxiously waited for him to continue speaking.

" We ran a few more neurological tests and his results will be back tomorrow. Until then we advise that you don't go back in to see him "- the doctor explained

" Will he be okay"- Elsie asked

" I cannot guarantee... and I won't want to bring false hope or stress you out more then you should be" - he kindly said and walked away.

" you guys wanna join us at home ? We'll order some food, I'm sure you all must be starving " - Chris suggested.

Everyone agreed and left the hospital

" Why were you at the university? "- Maitreya asked and stopped in the middle of the parking area

"I wasn't ! "- Chris replied annoyed and continued to walk towards the car

" Yea and you have some sort of blackmail on Jeremy because you saw him there. How would you have done that without being there ? "- Maitreya questioned

" Can we talk about this in the car ? Do you really want to bring this up now ? What if Katy hears of this, it will only create drama. Get in the car " - he demanded

" Katy !! Can I come with you and I Jeremy .. will you leave me at my apartment"- Maitreya asked

" Sure but ... why what's the matter ... why aren't you going with Chris? and why at your apartment? We're all meeting up at Chris and Owen's place "- Katy asked confused

" I don't wanna talk about it "- Maitreya sighed

Jeremy noticed that Maitreya was a bit tense and assumed that she overheard the beginning of his and Chris' conversation. He didn't want her to bring anything up and cause Katy suspicion.

" we're going to the same place, you should go with Chris " - Jeremy sternly said

Maitreya noticed that he was on edge and had no choice but to leave with Chris because everyone else had already drove off. The drive home was very uncomfortable and remained in an awkward silence until Maitreya asked him again.

" Why were you at the University? "

Chris spontaneously slammed the breaks causing the car to jerk forward. Maitreya was pushed forward and sightly hurt her forehead.

" Ouch What the hell Chris? " - she screamed and held her forehead

" Maybe you'll learn your lesson and stop asking me that question " - he aggressively replied

They continued to argue the rest of the drive home. The car stopped and they both jumped off without even looking in each others direction, they both walked in separately and were visibly in a bad and grumpy mood.
