45 Regret, part 1 (1/2)

At the hospital Snow and her friends sat at Yuna's side in silence. They haven't spoken to each other since this morning. Fay was busy reading a book, while Thea was playing with a ball she found somewhere.

Cinthea is with her friend, holding her hand, and is fighting to keep the tears at bay. Yuna was covered with bandages, from head to toe. Only her eyes, mouth and nose was left open.

Snow stood at the window with her hands folded behind her back, watching the world, deep in thought.

”It really bothers you that maybe one day, I'll be the one that she wakes up next to in the morning, that my ring will be on her finger, and not yours. And that maybe, just maybe, she'll love me, instead of you.”

The words kept repeating in her head, over and over again. Could that really happen? Could she really love him instead of Noctis? Does she even love Noctis to begin with? She knows her feelings towards Noctis is strong, but could it be that strong? Why is she even questioning this? She was so sure in the beginning, could it be that she might fall in love with Nate?

No, never. Her feelings for Noctis is real, and that will never change, and if she loves Noctis, then so be it.

Snow didn't realise that one of her friends was talking to her, when a ball hit her square in the head.

”Hey! What the hell?” Snow exclaimed whirling around. Thea has a playful expression on her face, so it is evident that she is bored, Snow did not know why, as one of their closest friends was in a coma.

”Well you wouldn't have been hit if you'd just pay attention.” Thea said, standing to get the ball.

Snow sighed before speaking.

”I'm sorry, what did you say?”

Thea shook her head and went to sit back down next to Thea, who hasn't looked up from her book yet.

”No, no, no, I'm not repeating things, this is not a dress rehearsal, you should learn to listen the first time.” Thea said, going back to throwing the ball against the wall.

Snow rolled her eyes. Thea usually did that when she was either in a bad mood, or in a very irritating playful mood.

”I'm going to get some coffee.” Snow announced, only then did Fay look up from her book.

”I think I am going to accompany you, if you don't mind.” Fay said, pushing her glasses up and closing her book. Snow nodded, then Fay stood up and followed her out of the room, but not before looking back at Cinthea who hasn't moved from her spot next to Yuna, with a sad expression on her face.

”So what is it going on with you?” Fay asked when they reached the coffee shop across the road.

”I don't know what your talking about.” Snow laughed nervously, to which Fay raised her brow.

”I think you do, you just don't want to tell me.”

”That's not true.” Snow laughed.

They reached the counter and ordered the coffee they wanted, they also got their friends coffee, thinking they might need it.

”So? What is it?” Fay asked again, taking a sip from her coffee. They went to sit down at the window seats.

”Did you only come along to interrogate me?” Snow asked with a small smile.

”No, I came along because you would have been lonely, and I only asked because your my friend, and other than Thea, who is only interested in that stupid ball of hers, and Cinthea who is too busy keeping her tears away, I actually pay attention to what is going on around me.” Fay explained, but when Snow didn't answer, she continued, ”Does it have something to do with that handsome, young fellow that came out of your room this morning?
