*Leah's POV*
(In the hospital)
Shawn lets go of my hand. I can feel him get up off the bed. I hear the door slam, then footsteps walking closer towards my bed.
Jack grabs my hand. His hands were so warm. I hear him whimper, I can't believe he's almost crying.
"Leah. I don't know what to say. I was drunk. I didn't know what I was thinking. I love you Leah Mack, always have always will. You're my life. Every morning, I don't want to go to school, but I think of you and it brightens up my day. When we were starting high school, I was going to ask you out but I knew I might end up hurting you. But sadly, that's exactly what I did, because I was fucking selfish and I don't give a shit about any other girl only you, Leah. I fucking love you!" He cries.
He's so sweet. I try to put all my focus on my hand to move so that he recognizes that I love him. Finally, I feel my hand give a little squeeze. Afterwards, I put my focus on my eyes to open. They finally flutter open and I see Jack's beautiful crying face starting at me in shock.
"J-Jack." I stutter, "I love you too." I smile and he gives me a goofy grin.
"I don't want anyone to know I'm awake. Please don't say anything to anyone." I say softly. He nods his head.
I peck his cheek.
Suddenly, some nurses burst into the room. I quickly put my head on the pillow and close my eyes. I hear the nurses rush towards me. I smile a little, probably not enough for the nurses to notice as I hear Jack leave the room.

An hour later, I pretend to wake up. The nurses were fixing my air tubes, when I take a deep breath and open my eyes.
The youngest nurse squeals and alerts the other nurses. The oldest one gives me a big smile,
"Hello Miss Mack, how are you feeling?" She asks me. I slowly nod my head. They all give me more smiles.
They call in a doctor and he tells me that I'll have slight amnesia because of my brain trauma. He explains to me what happened and everything else.
"We need to do some tests now that you're awake. So we need to take your bed so you can get an MRI scan."
Two doctors push my bed towards the scanning room. When we reach the room, they help me get onto another bed that will be pushed into the MRI.
"The key to an MRI, is to be as still as possible!" Says the woman doctor. She smiles at me. I nod my head. My bed starts to slowly move into the machine.
I've been in here a couple of minutes, when I start to feel nauseous. I think I'll wait it out. I hope I don't puke.
At that moment I start to slowly move out of the machine. The doctors look pleased.
"You look fine. You'll be able to leave tomorrow morning." Says the man doctor. I smile at the both of them and whisper, "Thank you."

After a couple of hours, I start to worry. No one has come into see me yet. Not even Eric. Something is up. I see my phone on my bedside table. I look at it and see I have a text from Eric and one from Bree.
(Eric's text/ e=eric/ l=leah)
e- hey sis. Sorry none of us are here. I got into a fight with Jack. We were arrested, but don't worry Bree bailed me out. I'll be there soon. Love you.

It's been another hour. Still they aren't here. Eric hasn't texted back either. I haven't seen the text from Bree yet. I decide to see what it says.
(b=bree/l=leah)
b- hey lee. I'm sorry we're not there right now. I'm coming right away. I'll be there in an hour or two. Love you bb.

I roll my eyes. B isn't here, Eric isn't here, Shawn isn't here, and Jack isn't here. No one is here and I'm alone dealing with this. I turn on my tv and watch the food network. I have been eating hospital food for a week. I have to at least dream of real food. I start watching when the door opens.
"Hello, Miss Mack. Some people are here to see you." Says Angela, my nurse. I look behind her and see Bree.
"BREE!" I scream. She smiles. Angela closes the door behind B.
Bree sighs happily and skips over to my bed.
"Hey girl. I'm so sorry we haven't been here for you in your biggest time of need." She says sadly. I wave my hand.
"Don't. I'm over it. So what happened?"
I ask eagerly. She rolls her eyes.
"Well, after Jack came out of your room, Eric got really protective of you. They get into a nasty fight and they got arrested. I bailed Eric out, Hayes payed bail for Jack. So here we are." She smiles sadly at me. I nod my head.
"Oh and by the way, Eric wants to see you." I smile and say,
"Bring him in." She smiles and walks over to the door.
B waves at me and walks out. I glare at Eric. He stands in the doorway with an awkward expression on his face. He looks up at me and cringes.
"I'm sorry." He croaked. I scoff at him.
"If you were sorry, you wouldn't have fought with Jack." I say forcefully. He cringes again, but with pain in his eyes.
Suddenly I soften. I'm worried. I know that Jack is strong.
"What happened to you?" I whisper. He slowly walks over to me and sits on my bed.
"I have a broken arm and my cheek hurts." He says softly. I nod my head. I hug him lightly and he hugs me back, but we're interrupted by a nurse opening the door.
"Hello Miss Mack. Sorry to interrupt but you're free to go." She smiles at me. I nod my head and return a smile.

*one month later*
I'm getting better. The cut on my face has disappeared. My broken leg should be better in two more weeks. It's about time too, I hate my cast. I missed three weeks of school. I sent back to school the next week after I was released. Everyone still looks at me, I hate the attention, but my teachers have taken pity on me because I look broken.
I'm walking down towards my locker when I see Jack. I haven't talked to Jack in weeks, but he's been texting me nonstop. He notices me walking towards him and locks eyes with me.
I keep walking towards him. When I reach my locker, he frowns at me.
"Why the fuck have you been ignoring me?" He whispers. I shrug my shoulders because I actually didn't know. He laughs at me. I roll my eyes.
"You hurt my brother. But loving you hasn't changed Jack." I open my locker and grab my bio textbook.
"If you'll excuse mI need to go to Biology." I say rudely. He rolls his eyes.
" I have Bio too. Chill." He says. He intertwines our fingers and pulls me along the hallway.
People stop and stare, but it looks like Jack doesn't care. He says something to me but I don't hear it.
"What?" I ask. Jack laughs. I look up at him and stop him. He looks at me questionably. I tell him what I want with my eyes. He leans down and presses our lips together. I feel fireworks shoot all around me. He pulls apart and we walk towards Bio, laughing our asses off at something he said.
I think I'm in love with Jack Gilinsky.
