CHARLOTTE POV.

Dad later came home, I don't know where he went or what he did, but I just decided to leave it. Everyone was coming over for dinner before my surgery tomorrow, I was pretty nervous to say the least. It was only the guys coming over, no girlfriends. Just like old time sakes. I was pretty exhausted so I went upstairs and had a nap while Bell sleep on my bed beside me. I woke up and my room was dark, what time was it? I jumped up and saw Hayes standing there.

"Oh, sorry, did I wake you?" He said as started to walk towards me and sat down beside me on my bed. "No it's okay. What were you doing anyway?" I asked as I ran my hand through my long brown tangled hair. "I was shutting your windows for you, it's raining," He said. "Oh thanks," I replied with a smile. "Are you okay with everything that happened with Joel?" I blurted out. He looked at me with his big bright blue eyes. "Char, I am fine with it. I don't like the fact that he touched you because.. Because you're my girl," He said with a small smile making me blush and smile intensely. I gave him a massive bear hug before we fell flat on my bed.

I kissed him before the door opened. "The guys are here," Nash said as he stood at the door as we both quickly sat up. "I will be down in a second," I said trying not to blush with embarrassment. "Well that was shame!" I said as Nash shut the door. "Hey, it's okay," He said as he stood up after me and walked towards me. "I found it really cute when you blush," He said before he started to kiss me.

"Go! I need to get ready," I laughed as I slowly pulled away. "Okay okay!" he said laughing before he laughed and shut the door behind him. Gosh! I have hella feelings for this kid!!

I quickly threw on a white crop top and sweat pants, it is the most comfortable thing in my closet. The guys were practically my family anyway so I didn't care. I left my hair down since I couldn't really do anything and I replaced my old bandage with a new one. I walked downstairs and saw all the guys sitting in the living room talking. "Hey!" I said as I ran up and hugged them all separately.

I sat down on the floor besides Hayes, he greeted me with an adorable smile as I sat down. "Dinner's ready!" Dad yelled as he placed the pizza on the table.

We all got up and headed to the table where we all sat down, I sat in between Johnson and Cam and Hayes was sitting across from me. We were at the table talking for what seemed like hours. It was like old times but it was missing Aaron. "So what time is your appointment?" Gilinsky asked as he took another bite from his pizza. "Um, I have to be there by 7 in the morning," I said before I took a sip of water. "It will be fine," Taylor said in a calm voice. "Yeah, I know," I replied as I lied. Was it going to be fine? The guys all went home at 11 after I went to bed. I went to bed early because of my appointment.

There was a bad storm all night, like a mini hurricane. I just went to sleep from being awake from the storm the whole night when my alarm clock wet off. Are you kidding me? I got up after pressing snooze about 12 times and went and took a shower. I left my hair and just washed my body. I walked back to my room and got changed into my grey sweat pants and a grey tank top with my hair left down. I took my bandage off in the mirror and saw my scars. They were so big, I touched it and it hurt terribly! I put a new bandage on and went downstairs. It was around 5:30 when I went downstairs. Dad was in the kitchen with Nash. "Good morning," I said as I yawned.

"Are you ready to go?" Dad asked. "Ah yeah, are you coming Nash?" I asked. "Yeah, Hayes is putting your bag in the car now, so we are all good," He said as he took a bite of his banana that he was eating. We got in the car and drove to the hospital. The traffic was okay but the storm was still pretty bad. "You all good?" Hayes asked as he grabbed my hand. "Yeah," I said with a smile on my face.

We pulled up at the hospital and it was around 6. We walked in and the nurse was already waiting for me. "Are you ready honey?" She asked with a smile on her face. "Um, yeah," I said as I looked at dad. "Can they come?" I asked in total fear.

"No, they have to stay out here," She said as she looked at dad. I turned around at him. "I love you!" I said as I hugged him tightly. "You will be fine gorgeous girl," He said as he kissed my forehead lightly. I pulled away from the hug and looked up at him and saw the tears in his eyes. I walked away and hugged Nash then Hayes. Then the nurse started to walk towards my room, I followed. I turned around as I carried my backpack in my right hand and looked at dad, Nash and Hayes all standing there. I could see the tears in dad's eyes which made me even more upset.

"Okay, you will be asleep, you will feel a light pinch," The surgeon said as he stuck a needle in my arm making me flinch. I looked into the light. I was so scared. "Good luck gorgeous," I heard him say in my ear as I felt nothing in my body. I was full asleep.

I woke up in my room, my arm hurt ten times more than it did in the first place. Dad, Nash and Hayes were in the chairs beside me. "How do you feel?" Dad asked straight away as I opened my eyes. "It hurts so badly!" I said as the pain started to get worst. "It has only been 3 hours since the surgery, you are staying overnight," Nash said as he sat on my bed beside me. "What time is it?" I asked. "1," Dad said. "Oh," I replied. "Nash and I will get something for you, Hayes stay here with her," Dad said before he walked out the door with Nash. Hayes came and layed beside me.

"How are you?" He asked as he wiped the hair out of my face. "Good," I said as I looked at him. "Really? I know you too well," He said as he grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers. "It hurts so much!" I said as I layed on my hip facing him. "It will get better soon," He said before he kissed my cheek. I looked at him for a while. "Why are you so good to me?" I asked. "Because, you're different. There is something different about you that I like, I wouldn't swap you for anyone in the world," He said with a smile which made me smile. Dad and Nash then walked back in the room. "We bought sandwiches!" Dad said with a smile on his face.
