 "Nick!" I said as loud as my voice would let me. "Gabby..." Nick said as he dropped his bag and ran to me, engulfing me in a hug. I started to tear up when I realized that we were both still alive. As he slowly back away from our hug, I looked at his face. He had a sewed up, medium size cut on his left cheek and a smaller bruise on his neck. As I outlined his sewed up cut, he looked in my eyes, reassuring me he was okay. I redirected my attention towards Dr. Smith as he said "Well I see that you two are getting along nicely so I'm going to go. I will check on you again in about an hour." I nodded and looked back at Nick. His hand slowly reached up and caressed my cheek. I missed him so much. We came together gently and kissed. It was so nice to kiss those lips again. My heart finally felt back at ease. I was so glad he was alright. While we kissed, all I could think about was how amazing he was. I was so lucky to have him. He slowly pulled away and smiled. I gave back smiled and laid back steadily, in the bed. Nick sat on the chair next to the bed and held my hand. Nick said "I have missed you so much." I whispered in reply, "I missed you too." He asked me how I felt and if I was going to be okay. I explained that I was fine and that Dr. Smith wanted me to stay one more night just to make sure that everything was okay. He then replied "That's good. I also bought you a new phone because the other phone was destroyed in the wreck." I quickly responded "You didn't have to do that, you know."  He handed me the new cell phone, "I know, but you're worth it. I also feel horrible that this has happened to you."  I sighed and said "It's not your fault. Plus, I'm getting better. I'm just upset that I missed the reveal of the 'Chains' video and I didn't get to meet your family." He looked at me worried and said "I know that you missed it and I'm sorry about that. Also, there are going to be more opportunities to meet my family. I don't want you to stress out about it." I relaxed a little and shrugged my shoulders. "I guess so..."  He quickly changed the subject and told me about how worried Marie was after what had happened. I remembered that she was still on tour with Miley Cyrus. So I texted Marie to tell her I was okay. Nick said "Do you need anything?" I didn't want him to leave me so I said "No I'm fine." Nick gave me a concerned looked. I said "I promise. I just want you here next to me... Okay?" He nodded and got into bed with me. Once we got settled, I turned on the T.V. to watch 'Arrow'. I laid in his arms as he pulled me closer to him. Our hearts beat in unison as we slowly drifted off to sleep.

I woke up still laying with Nick. He sleeps like an angel. I just wanted this moment to live forever, minus the part where I almost died. Soon after, Dr. Smith walked in and said "Good Morning!" Nick jolted awake. Dr. Smith continued "You are free to go and I put your prescriptions in this plastic bag. You need to take one every night before you go to bed." I nodded. Dr. Smith smiled and left us to get up. Nick said "Well, you ready to go?" I nodded 'yes', but I knew needed help out of the bed. I still felt weak, but I knew Nick would be there to help me. Nick carefully got up and put his shoes on, and then he turned to me. I stuck out my arms, silently pleading him to help me up. He smiled and lifted me out of bed bridal style. I softly giggled and made eye contact. We both burst out laughing and he slowly put me down. I walked carefully to the bathroom with the extra clothes Nick brought me. I changed as quickly as I could, not wanting to keep him waiting. When I walked out, Nick had already packed up the bags he brought with him. Nick dropped the bags, grabbed my phone and walked towards me. I slowly backed up by the door as we both stared into each other's eyes. He whispered "You're perfect." Gosh his voice was so sexy. I melted into him as we kissed. He caressed my face, as I had my arms wrapped around his neck. The kiss was perfect. He was perfect. We both pulled away from each other, keeping eye contact. I looked quickly at the floor and was slightly embarrassed to know that we pretty much just made out at the hospital. He whispered saying "We should get out of here." I laughed and said "Yeah... plus I'm a bit hungry." He held my hand and said "Let's get outta here." We exchanged smiles and walked out of the room.

Once the elevator door opened to the parking lot, cameras were flashing everywhere. Nick held me close, trying to protect me. He knew that I had to walk slower or I would lose my balance. Nick gave me a look and mouthed 'piggy back ride?' I nodded and quickly hoisted myself onto his back. He ran us both to the limo as fast as possible. The paparazzi kept screaming questions like: Gabby, how are you recovering? Why were you gone so long? Nick, why wasn't Gabby at your release party? Did you stay here last night? I couldn't believe they followed him to the hospital. I understand it's their job, but can they just mind their own business. Did they know about the crash? Once we got to the limo, he let me down and helped me into the limo. Nick sat in the plush seat and slammed the door. I could tell he was mad about the paparazzi following him here. I scooted over next to him and held his hand. Nick said "I just can't believe them. It's like they have nothing else better to do except follow me around." I just looked at him and said "I know. Let's just not focus on them... okay??" He smirked at me and said "Okay." We cuddled in the back of the limo all the way to lunch.

After lunch, Nick took me home. I needed to relax and regain my strength. Nick walked me in and helped me get settled. Nick sat on the couch for a moment then said "Hey so I have to go because I'm on the Jimmy Fallon tonight, but I will see you tomorrow. Okay?" I softly said "Okay" then gave him a quick kiss on his cheek. In a flash, he was gone. Well I guess I know what I'm watching later tonight.
