A BRIGHT LIGHT appears in my vision and I squeeze them shut as fast as they opened.

I tilt my head before opening them again, adjusting to the surroundings instead of burning my eyes off.

Glancing around, I note that I'm in the hospital. Then I see my family. Stiles and Scott are hung across each other, messy cuddling. My brother's mouth is open, snores being heard in the quiet room. My dad is on another chair, head rested against the wall as he snoozes.

I smile at the sight, establishing something warm at my hand. I glance down, seeing Liam holding my hand. His head is against his forearm as he sleeps soundly.

Moving my other arm, I place it on his head, running my fingers through his hair. His body leans into the touch, sleepy mumbles escaping past his lips.

He moves slightly as he begins to wake up and registers where he is. He looks up slowly and my heart breaks as I witness the tear streaks on his face. "Oh, I'm sorry." I mumble.

He looks confused, sitting uo straight, "I should be sorry. You almost died because of me. If I never ran off-"

He paused as I gave his hand a squeeze, "You didn't know. It's okay. I'm safe. You saved me." Liam offers a weak nod.

I look at the other three, "Oi!" My voice booms in the quiet - minus the snores - room.

My dad flinches, sitting up alert and looking around. Scott and Stiles fumble around on each other instead and I giggle as Stiles faceplants onto the floor.

He gets up, eyes narrowed playfully before he's by my side. "Never scare me like that again." He grumbles, grabbing my other hand.

The other two head over to my side too, Scott beside Liam and my dad with Stiles. "Never scare us like that again." Scott repeats.

I chuckle softly, "No promises."

They all give me the same look.

"No, Liam. You don't keep them, you're meant to gift me them. Then, I can marry you," I wink suggestively, playful as we play games on his console.

It's been a while since Liam and I have hungout alone due to all the mess going on. Then we have Mason too, not complaining of course but it's nice spending time with him alone. I'm finally able to do so due to a majority of the pack taking their PSAT.

"Why should I?" He questioned, matching my mood.

I pout before I came up with an idea, "Fine. What if I flirt with Sebastian instead?" I move my character over to him, giving him a gift right in front of Liam.

Liam is big on shooters, which I do love but I had to introduce him to one of my favourite games; Stardew Valley.

The beta gasps, betrayed, "You did not!"

I grin at him, "Oh, but I did."

"That's it!" He exclaims, grabbing our controllers and putting them on the floor before he tackles me.

I squeal, trying to move away but ultimately failing, giggling loudly as he attacks me with tickles.

"Wh-Why! Stop!" I manage to get out through my laughter.

"Apologise and then dump him." Liam told me, continuing his attacks.

I cocked my head to the side, body squirming, "Thought you didn't want to marry me?"

He shook his head, "Of course I do - I was joking."

I grin at the answer, satisfied. "I know and okay, I'll do it."
