When we got to the hospital I had Ross carry me. I was so sleepy and it was only about 8:00. We all got out the car and we went tot the ER part of the hospital. Ross told them that I had a very deep cut in my cheek. They told us that they would get help immediately. We went inside of one of the rooms and Ross set me down on the bed. I noticed that he had his guitar with him.

"I'm sorry." Ross whispered.

"Its okay." I say even though I know its not. He picked up his guitar and started to play the beat to a song I knew to well.

I'm looking for the one tonight

But I can't see you

Cause I'm blinded by all the lights

And we just sat there and sung the acoustic version of loud and it was nice until there was knock on the door. We stopped singing but Ross continued to play his guitar.

"Come in." I said and I saw the one person who I thought would always have my back. Jessica. I don't think she just came here to say she loves me. We both need to move on because I will not dwell on people who will never change.

"Hey. Can I talk to you for a second." She said. She was staring at my cheek. I still had Ross' shirt pressed down on it. God, I hope Stormie doesn't hate me for this.

"Sure." I say.

"Can we talk alone?"

"Whatever you have to say you can say it in front of Ross." I told her, defending Ross. I'm tired of people walking on me like I'm a door mat. I'm no longer upset about this situation. I was mad.

"Okay. I just wanted to say I'm sorry." She said and I scoffed. Ross looked up from his guitar and looked at me, silently asking if I was okay. I shook my head and he got up and walked towards me. He sat next to me on the hospital bed and he put his arm around me.

"Okay ladies looks like I'm playing therapist but first I need my side-kick." Ross said and Connor walked through the door and sat in the seat that Ross was previously sitting in.

"Did someone call me?" He said sitting criss cross in the chair.

"Who are these people?" Jessica asked.

"I'm Ross, her boyfriend and that's Connor, her best friend. Nice to meet you, but if you want to say something to Laura you need to hurry up before they come to get Laura all stitched up."

"Look Laura, I just wanted to say I'm sorry. When I woke up you weren't home and mom and dad were arguing and I was searching all over for you and mom and dad said that you went to Morgan's house and I realised that you had lied because I know about Morgan. So I went on Instagram and Twitter seeing if anyone has said anything about you and then I found your account-"

"I forgive you Jessica." I say interrupting her apologetic speech.

"Really, why?" She said with a look of confusion and relieve.

"Because I know you only meant good and it's not your fault I'm in this mess it's mine." I said.

"Its really not." Connor said and Ross nodded his head.

"Its actually your parents. They got you tripping over yourself, aching. Then you come to my house begging for help. Without their and support your left needing stitches." Ross said looking at his hands. I was about to reply but that's when there was another knock on the door. Connor told them to come in and then walked in my doctor.

"Hello Ms. Marano and friends. I'm here to take you to get stitches." He said in a calm tone.

"Great. I'll see you guys later." I said and they waved goodbye.
