Kendra's POV

It hurts to blink, the light burned behind my eyeballs. I squint my eyes and tried to place my surrounding, I couldn't see quite clearly yet, everything around me was just a blur.

As I blinked, my vision started clearing, I saw the machines beside my bed, beebing, an oxygen mask around my nose and a blonde head laying beside me, holding onto my hand... Mia.

I couldn't have asked for a better friend, because I know that no matter what, come hail or sunshine, this girl is still going to be by my side.

"Mi... Mia?" I forced myself to speak, my words tasted sour.

She couldn't hear me, she was asleep. I released the hand that she was holding to stroke her hair and I called again. At the sound of my voice she jerked, she raised her head and grined when she saw me looking at her.

"Kennie? Kennie? Oh thank God you're back! Doctor! Doctor! I'll be right back baby let me just get the doctor."

She said, her bright green eyes looking up at me with joy as she walked out of the room.

Back? What did she mean by I'm back?

She came back in with a handsome looking guy, he had a long white coat on which accentuated his chestnut coloured hair.

He had the cutest blue-green eyes, cute dimples and perfectly white teeth... I know that because he walked in smiling.

"Okay welcome back to reality miss Kendra, I'm your doctor, Dexter King. Let me just take a look at you."

He put his stethoscope on my chest, ordered me to breath in and out and then he scribbled something on his notepad, then he checked my eyes. He lifted the bed so I could be in a sitting position.

"Excuse me doctor, what do you mean by welcome back? How long have I been in this hospital?"

"You've been here for five months. You were involved in an accident, you lost a lot of blood, lost your baby, and went into a coma."

"Wait... did you say baby?" my heartbeat intensified.

"Yes, you were three weeks pregnant. Didn't you know?" he asked me.

"No, I didn't." I said with the faintest voice.

"Okay I'll leave you two now, call me if you need anything."

He smiled flashing his perfect teeth and dimples at me again, too bad I'm already taken. He's no match compared to Liam... Liam!

"Where's Liam?" I asked Mia.

"Okay you just heard that you lost a baby and the first thing you're thinking about is that jerk?" she put her hands on her waist and raised her voice at me.

"Why do you call him that?"

"Okay Kendra have you lost your memories too? Liam left you remember?"

"I thought it was a dream, I thought it was all a dream." tears filled my eyes, "I'm sorry Mia but it still hurts."

I wiped my eyes.

"I know."

she hugged me.

"Did he know about the accident? Did he come to see me?"

She let go of me.

"Poor Kendra."

She took a seat and held my hands.

"Liam never showed up."

"Well maybe he didn't know. He would've definitely come if he knew that I was here for that long. He would've come to stay with me."

"I called him, texted him, but no response. I even went to his flat to look for him but he wasn't there, its like he just vanished."

"Maybe something must have happened to him, maybe..."

"Stop it! Stop making excuses for the guy! He isn't worth it anymore, he left!"

He left, the words rang in my ears. I started crying again.

"And I lost our baby Mia, I lost the one thing that I could've held on to."

I cried more.

"Its going to be all right. I'm here for you. Whatever you need, whenever you need it, I'm here."

I've been anticipating the day I finally get to leave the confines of the hospital bed and get back into the real world. I had to stay for two extra weeks because the doctor said he needed to keep a close eye on me, to monitor my stability.

But finally I was going home, going back to my life, to everything I loved, well except for one thing. I couldn't wait to just get back out there, to pick up the pieces of my life.

Mia packed my bags as we waited for the doctor, he was a regular face and I've gotten quite used to having him around.

"Hey." He walked in with that cute smile of his again.

"Hi Dexter."

Oh yeah we are on the first name basis now.

"So Kendra, are you excited to go home?"

"I am actually, I've had my fill of hospitals." I smiled.

He did some routine check ups on me.

"Well we sure are going to miss you here." he looked at me, I couldn't say anything other than blush.

"And we're going to miss you too Dr. Dexter, thanks for taking good care of my friend." Mia stepped in.

"All right, I'll leave you two ladies to it. Take care of yourself Kendra, I don't want to see you back at this hospital!" he said as he left.

"Was he flirting with me? Or were my ears just deceiving me?" I asked Mia the minute he walked out.

"Well he certainly was, what are you going to do about it?" she crossed her arms and chuckled.

"Well... nothing I guess."

"You need to get off your ass young lady and get back into the dating waters." she put a straight face and grabbed the bag.

"What if I don't want to?"

"Kendra I love you but if you make that statement again I'll shoot myself."

"I'm serious." I laughed

"Well then I guess I have a lot of work to do. Come on, time to go."

We headed for the reception and Mia was checked us out. She drove us out of the hospital and into the street, I couldn't stop myself from thinking.

'I'm going out now with no hopes of Liam being with me again. I've been so used to having him around that I don't know if I can do anything without him, can I cope without him? I guess I'll have to try, maybe I'll find someone whose willing to help me get over him'. Yes that's what I'll do, I'll get over him.
