Parker's POV
Ellie was currently getting checked for a concussion. She managed to stay conscious the whole way to the hospital, which was a good thing. I just could not believe what had happened. I couldn't help but think this was kinda my fault because I had let her go up there talk to him on her own. I had no idea how someone could do that to Ellie, especially someone who claimed that they loved her.

A doctor came out, "Family of Ellie Hall?"

I immediately rushed over there, "Is she going to be okay?"

The doctor nodded, "Yes she will be fine. But she did need to get some stitches due to being cut by glass and she does have a major concussion, and should not be exposed to loud noises or bright lights for a few days. We are going to keep her to monitor her over night but you are welcome to go see her now."

I smiled, "Thank you so much doc."

He nodded, "Of course."

I walked into Ellie's room, and she was asleep. I smiled taking a seat in the chair next to her bed, and taking her hand in mine, and I kissed her hand.

There was a knock on the door, and Bryce and Jaden walked in. I felt my other fist tighten when I saw Jaden, "What are you doing here?"

Jaden ran a hand through his hair, "I uh... need to apologize to Ellie."

I stood up, "Yeah you think? What the hell is wrong with you man?"

He rubbed the back of his neck, "I don't know. I don't know what the hell I was thinking. I feel awful, and I can't believe I did this to her."

I could tell he actually felt terrible which helped me relax a little because I thought maybe he hadn't actually meant to hurt her, "Ellie cares about you a lot. She wanted to come back to see you. She was so worried about you. She literally cried herself to sleep after she talked to you on the phone. She would've been back here sooner if she could have."

Jaden was looking at Ellie, and I could tell by the way he was looking at her that he loved Ellie with all of his being.

I patted him on the shoulder, "You really love her don't you man?"

Jaden nodded, "More than I ever thought possible."

I frowned, "Tell her then."

Jaden looked at me confused, "What do you mean?"

I spoke again, "Tell her how you feel. She deserves to know."

He looked at me as if he was unsure, "Are you sure? I mean she's literally engaged to you? She loves you not me."

I nodded, "Yeah I want you to tell her. I'm not going to stand in the way of you two, and it's her decision who she wants to be with. Whatever happens happens and what is meant to be will be."

Jaden spoke again, "She doesn't want anything to do with especially not after this. You are so much better for her. I won't be the reason that you guys break up."

I sighed, "I believe that everything happens for a reason. She loves you Jaden. I can tell. Yes you hurt her really bad, but she wants you to show her why she should take you back. She isn't going to just take you back because she's too stubborn for that. She won't cave just for love. She is going to make you work for it. She wants you to prove it to her that you would do anything to get her back. That ring on her finger should be from you not me. I'm not the love of her life because you are. She is your person. I know that now, and as much as it hurts, I really think it is for the best. She deserves to be happy, and I don't think that she will ever truly be happy with me."

Jaden smiled, "You are a really good guy. I can see why Ellie likes you."

Ellie spoke, "Jae? Park?"

Jaden and I both turned to look at Ellie now sitting up in bed, and I spoke first, "Hey El, how are you feeling?"

She shrugged, "My head is killing me."

I frowned, and walked over and kissed the top of her head gently, "I'm going to let you and Jaden talk. I'll be right out in the hallway."

She smiled, "Ok thanks babe."

I then walked out into the hallway with Bryce.

ELLIE'S POV

I had been awake during the whole talk between Parker and Jaden. And honestly I did not know what to think. Maybe Parker was right. Maybe I never really would be truly happy with him like I was with Jaden. Yes I did really love Parker but I still loved Jaden more than I had ever thought possible to love someone.

Jaden took a seat in the chair next to my bed, and he spoke, "Ellie, I am so fucking sorry for everything. You did not deserve any of this. I am a terrible person. I don't know what the hell I was thinking. I will fucking hate myself for doing this to you the rest of my fucking life. I have put you through so much shit, yet for some reason you have still stuck around and I don't know why. You finally have someone that treats you right. You deserve to be happy. I'm sorry that I put you through all this. If I could do it all over again, I would never hurt you. I hate myself for hurting you. I just need you to know that I never stopped loving you. I fucking hate seeing you with him, even though I know he is way better for you than I am. I wish that I had been the one to put that ring on your finger, not him. I-"

I cut him off before he could say something, "Jae, please calm down. Just take a deep breathe. It's fine. I know you would never hurt me like that on purpose. I never stopped loving you either Jaden. Yes I love Parker, but I don't love him like I love you. What you and I have is just different, and everyone knows that. Yes, you hurt me, but I know you regret it and hate yourself for it. I know you would take it all back if you could. It literally broke me knowing that you were doing drugs and drinking. I blamed myself for what you were doing. I hated knowing that you were doing this to yourself. I was so fucking scared that I was going to lose you, and I knew I would not be able to handle losing you."

Jaden looked up at me with tears in his eyes, "I hate myself everyday because I hurt you. I was reckless. I know now that I don't want to live another day without you. And yeah maybe that is selfish of me, but I just can't be without you anymore. I need you."

I smiled, "I need you too Jae."

He smiled, "But what about Parker?"

I shrugged, "I'll talk to him. He will understand. He's a really good guy Jae."

He nodded, "Yeah I know he is."

I looked at him confused, "What makes you say that?"

He smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry about it."

I smiled kissing him softly, "I really missed doing that."

He smiled kissing me, "Me too."

I was so happy to be back with Jaden again. Although I couldn't help but feel guilty since I was with Parker.
