Hey guys, I have some bad news...






















THIS CHAPTER IS AN ABSOLUTE TRAIN WRECK! 💥🚂🔥AND I HAVE MENTALLY GONE OFF THE RAILS PLZ HELP I BEG. 🙈

and i thought some of the previous chapters were bad, but no...
🤮
THIS ONE TAKES THE CAKE 🎂 sorry-


~Y/n's POV~

It hurt to talk. The physical talking definitely hurt, but the mental mind games of not being able to talk to my best friends was a total different kind of hurt.

All I wanted was to tell them I'm okay, and that I love them.

But Clay... I felt bad that I ruined his 'face reveal'. I'm positive that he had some sort of a plan to show his face to me, but I ruined it.

"Hey, are you that upset to see me?" Nick pouted. I faintly smiled and jokingly nodded.

Nick gasped offendedly and crossed his arms, "Well I didn't want to see you either."

Alec squeezed my hand to get my attention, "I'll let you guys talk, I need to get home." Alec then turned towards Clay, "Can you get a ride? I need to go."

The blonde nodded, "I'll get Gogy to take us to his apartment."

Their voices slowly faded into incoherent mumbled as I collapsed into my own mind.

They're going home? Are they leaving me?

Maybe they hate me. Maybe they are only here because l have no one.

They pity me.

I just wanted to curl into myself and never see the light again.

'You're wasting their time.'


~Clay's POV~

"Drive safely!" I waved at Alec as he headed down the hall towards the elevator.

The feeling of jealousy that came with Alec and Y/n dispersed as I realized that Alec was too strong of his own good.

He didn't have anyone. All he had was Y/n. But I had George, Nick and my family.

But he was alone. Not anymore though, I would make sure he would never feel alone again.

"Y/n?" George whispered quietly. I turned back to the room, only able to see Nick looking up from his phone.

Nick stood up from his chair and stared towards the direction of Y/n, which was hidden by a wall from my perspective.

I turned the small corner that obscured my view. Y/n seemed to be staring into space as tears ran down her face. She shivered under the firm sheets as she continued to stare at nothing.

I walked to her bedside and brushed her hair to the side. "Hey, you okay?"

George tugged on my shirt, "She only started to cry when you left." I furrowed my brows at him, which he responded with a shrug, but I know what he was thinking.

"Nick and I will go to pick up something to eat. Text me what you want."

My stomach growled on command.

I watched the door shut behind them and slowly turned back towards Y/n. "Guess what?" Her beautiful e/c eyes flicked to me.

"The doctor said you would be released in two days." She gently grabbed my hand. I glanced down and then back up at her, "You'll have to go through some physical therapy, but we'll be there through every step."

Her hand began to subtly shake in mine.

I knew it was a symptom of anxiety for her. Because I had the same symptom. It was a way to shake off the excess adrenaline pulsing through our bodies.

I could tell she was anxious about her near future. Since we've known each other, she would always take everything extremely cautiously. She hated not knowing what would come next.

I changed the subject and comfortingly rubbed her knuckles with the pad of my thumb.

"Then we can go to your favorite restaurant and then go eat ice cream. You wanna do that?" I asked, silently hoping for a sign that could resemble a 'yes.'

A weak smile was all that I needed, but I got a full toothy grin. My jaw dropped, "Did you just smile at me?"

She laughed even though it sounded more like a scoff. Blush crept up my face as I looked at her. Flawless face, honey-kissed e/c eyes. Even her tangled hair managed to look absolutely perfect in the golden beams coming through the window.

"Can I kiss you?" I accidentally blurted out. My face went completely red. I awkwardly scratched the nape of my neck and immediately looked down to hide my blush, "I-uh."

She nudged my other hand, forcing me to look back at her and let me tell you, she was just as red.

Once she noticed me staring into her soft e/c eyes, she grabbed onto the collar of my hoodie and pulled our lips together.

It wasn't a lust-craving kiss or extremely passionate. It was simple and loving.

No sparks went flying or fireworks exploding like showed in the movies. It was a kiss. A kiss that made me feel relieved and loved, hopefully she felt the same.

Her smile and pink cheeks brightened up the room.

I could live with her for forever.

~3rd Person~

Three men—famously known as the Dream Team, walked into the hospital to pick up their best friend.

They checked in and walked the eerie white walled hallway that Clay knew by heart. His hand began to shake out of excitement as he neared her door. He was ready to bring her home.

George fiddled with his fingers and Nick dragged his fingertips on the grooves in the wall. But both held smiles as they followed Clay to her room.

Clay knocked politely before entering the chemical smelling room. Y/n was sitting up with her legs dangling over the edge of the bed.

Clay's face melted into a relieved smile, "Hey Princess."

The two locked eyes. And Y/n stood up on shaky legs. Clay gasped at the sight and subconsciously bit at his knuckles to suppress his anxiousness.

Clay briskly walked over and picked her up by her waist. Y/n wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his torso.

She practically glowed.

Clay did a few slow and gentle spins and then set her down back on the bed. A small giggle escaped her throat.

Clay couldn't be happier.

After a few more hugs and a few more bills to pay, the group left. All four of them.

IM BACK! Hehe.

Thank you to the moon and back. I apologize for being gone, it's been rough. Hopefully I will be back for good and finish this book, (which is nearing its end). Love you guys.

Go eat something for me, and drink some water. I know it's hard to, believe me, even a little is progress. Stay safe and be strong, life will get better, I promise.

I am so proud of you. Love you.
