Ollie could barely sleep that night, Talia was on his mind the whole night. Does she still want him? No... She couldn't... She dumped him... It just didn't make sense to him. That look must have meant something. After eventually getting to sleep, Ollie woke up at around midday as he heard a knock at the door and the doorbell going. He got up as quickly as he could - which wasn't that quickly as he had just woken up - and went to the door.
Ollie opened the door and stood there was Talia. She walked through the door and stood directly in front of him. She came closer to him, and then kissed him. Then... Ollie woke up to the phone ringing. He realised that what had just happened was a dream, and then he sighed. RRRRIIIINNNNGGGG!!!! Ollie was startled by the ring and then picks up the phone.
"Umm.. Hello?" Ollie says down the phone.
"Ollie? Is that you?" it is his mum's voice. She sounds tired and agitated, and this makes Ollie's heart race.
"What has happened? Are you okay?"
"I am fine Ollie. Bu, your Dad isn't. Please can you come to the hospital? He has had a heart attack."
Ollie just stops dead; mouth completely dry.
"Ollie? Are you still there?"
Ollie's voice cracks, "Is he okay?" The seconds between the queston and the answer seem to take an eternity.
"No. He is in intensive care."
Ollie says he will be there as soon as possible. He rushes around the house and makes sure he is ready and has everything, and then he dives out the door and into his car.
The drive to the hospital seems to take forever, but he finally arrives. He rushes through the building and finally finds his mother... who is in the arms of Talia. Ollie looks at Talia and she gives him a sympathetic smile.
Talia puts her mouth down to Ollie's mum's ear, "Ollie is here." As soon as Talia says this she dives on Ollie.
"It's okay mum" Ollie can feel his mouth going dry again; "He will be fine mum;" Ollie's aunt arrives just as he says that; she used to be a nurse so knows how to deal with situations like this.
"Oliver," She gives him a hug and whispers in his ear; "Leave her with me, go and get drinks with your girlfriend" As she says Talia is his girlfriend Ollie cringes. He really wants it to be true, but its not.
"Mum, i'll go and get some drinks..." and before he can even ask Talia she says;
"I will go with you Ollie"
The two of them walk around the corner to go and get the drinks and as soon as they are out of view of everyone else, Talia gives Ollie a huge hug. "I am so sorry Ollie, I can't believe this has happened." She pulls away slightly and looks up into his eyes; "I have missed you." She leans up towards him to kiss him, and just as they are about to touch lips, Ollie pulls away.
"I'm sorry, but now isn't a great time for this." Ollie looks at her, and her face goes red. She is obviously so embaressed and feels very stupid for trying this. They get the drinks but don't say anything at all.
After two hours, a Doctor comes out of the room that they are waiting outside of. He looks tired, but humble at the same time. "He should be fine" Everyone sighs with relief and Ollie hugs his mother. Ollie stays there over night with his Dad while his mum goes home to get some rest, and Talia stays for a while with him. She does eventualy leave but doesn't try to kiss him again.
