A/N - I'll add in when to watch the video
Charlie's POV
I felt relieved. I was worried that I was moving everything too quick; but when she said she loves me too, I suddenly relaxed. As she lay in that hospital bed I realised that no matter where she is or what she looks like, she is still beautiful and genuine. There's nothing more I could ask for.
She's brave: she proved that by going to Andrew's house alone.
She's smart:
she knew to leave when she saw him with the other girl.
She's honest:
she's told me how she feels.
She's kind:
she knew to text me when she left to try to stop me from worrying about her when I realised she's gone.
She's selfless:
she went and took the hit from Andrew because she knew that if she didn't he could come after me and the boys.

It's already 11:00pm which means we've been here for 6 hours already. I don't mind though, the most important thing is that she makes a good recovery. By now all the boys had came into the room to comfort her and help take her mind off things. We sat in the hospital just talking and making jokes when a doctor walked in.
"Hi, which one of you has the closest relationship with the patient?" He asked, to which all the boys volunteered me. I got up and walked out with him, intrigued to find out the information he withholds.
"Ok so Amelia's clearly doing much better than she was 6/7 hours ago but we still don't know what actually happened to her. We were hoping you had an idea." It played around in my mind for a while. What do I do? Do I tell him everything I know or do I just keep it a secret.
"Yes. I know." I announced before I actually thought about what I was going to say. I told her she had to report him, that it was important but I know she wouldn't. Maybe it's a good idea if I do...
I stood and told him the story there and then it was hard to tell without getting upset from the memory of her body lying there. Once I'd finished talking there was an awkward silence, slightly too long for comfort.
"Ok. Thankyou for being so honest Mr Jones. Obviously I'm going to have to inform the police but just know, this Andrew will be severely punished for this." At which point I turned on my heel and walked back into the room.

Tom had got his guitar out. They were all singing tunes together. Everything seemed perfect, you know once you forget about being in a hospital.
"Hey Charlie, wanna play something?" Tom asked, handing me his guitar. I took it carefully and went and sat down in my original seat next to Amelia and began strumming away at a song purely dedicated to her.

Amelia's POV(after he sang)
Wow. I was so shocked and surprised. I felt so emotional. It was beautiful. Once he gave Tom his guitar back, he leant over and pressed his lips against mine. "I mean it, I wasn't there for you when Andrew beat you, but I'm here for you now, and I always will be from now on." He told me, grabbing hold of my hand, rubbing small circles on the back of it. "Anyway, after our conversation earlier, I started thinking," he continued.
"It's never a good thing when Charlie starts thinking," jake said, joking but Charlie shot him a glare as if to say "this really isn't the time".
"Anyway, without interruptions, I was wondering if once you're out of here if you would like to go on a proper date with me?" Charlie continued, getting quieter and blushing slightly towards the end.
"Yeah, I'd like that," I told him, wanting to stay cool and calm when really on the inside I was pretty excited. He made me realise why it never worked with anyone else... Because it was always meant to be Charlie and I.
