I woke up to the nurse taking the IV out of my arms.

I looked around and Hayes was standing at the door, leaning on the doorframe with his hands in his pocket.

"You ready to go?" He asked. I nodded eagerly. I grabbed my bag and his hand. We walked to the elevator.

"Is my dad at the airport?"

Hayes looked at his phone. "Ya he should be boarding right now"

I whipped out my phone and opened FaceTime. I clicked on his contact and it started ringing. The elevator doors opened and my dad's face popped up on the screen.

"Hey bird!"

"Hey dad. I just wanted to say I love you"

"I love you too. Me and Paul left a present for you and Al at your house and your moms are going to take it home when they go back"

"Ok thanks dad!"

"Of course honey. I have to go. We are about to take off. I love you bird"

"I love you too"

He ended the call. We approached the jeep and I got in. Hayes starters the car and pulled out of the parking lot.

"So where is everyone?" I asked

"Our moms, Katie, and Paul are in the emergency care wing at the hospital. And the boys are at home."

I nodded, "what did our dad's get us?"

"I'm not going to tell you!"

"Please?"

"No we're almost home"

We pulled in and I got out of the car.

"Hayes"

"Beth"

"I'm tired"

He stopped and I jumped on his back. He held my legs and carried my bag in his hand. He opened the door and closed it behind him. In the entranceway was two snowboards with big bows around them. I knew which one was mine and which one was Ali's because they were our favorite brands. Mine was the neon pink and black Never Summer one. An hers was the light blue burton one.

"Woah" I said in disbelief. It was an expensive board.

I picked it up and examined it. I've been wanting this board for so long.

"I didn't know you guys snowboarded" Nash said coming into the entrance way with all the boys.

"We've snowboarded since we were seven" I laughed

"Do you race?"

"I trick. Ali races"

"Trick? Like go off those half pipes and stuff?" Taylor asked.

"Yes dumbass" Hayes answered for me.

"Can you skate?" Gilinsky asked me.

"Ya. But I like long boarding better"

Just then my phone rang. It was Katie.

"Come quick. Ali just woke up" she hung up immediately.

"Guys we need to go like now" I grabbed the keys from Hayes hand. The boys ran out behind me. I started the car and honked. Hayes got in the passenger side and Matthew, Taylor, and Nash got in the back.

I backed out of the driveway and floored it down the street.

"Beth, baby. I know your scared for Ali, but slow down"

"Hayes shut up"

He raised his hands in defeat.

"I'm sorry"

"Its ok babe"

"BETH WATCH OUT" Nash screamed from the back.

I went right through a red light almost hitting a car coming from the right side. Everyone gasped and held onto the car.

I slammed on the brakes. We were all breathing fast.

"I-I'm sorry" I said between breaths. I was trying to catch my breath but I couldn't.

"Let me drive babe" Hayes said. He got out and ran around. I crawled in the back and Taylor opened his arms for me to sit on his lap.

I sat down and he wrapped his arms around me. I was shaking really badly. Matt and Nash gave me a hug from each side.

We pulled into the parking lot beside the other jeep. The boys were standing by it. We got out and they all surrounded me in a group hug.

"We saw what happened. Are you guys ok?" Aaron asked.

"Ya we're good. I almost killed us, but we're good."

I nodded and ran in the hospital. My mom was in the lobby with Paul, Katie and Elizabeth.

"Where is she?!" I asked frantically.

"She's in her room." I start walking towards the emergency care rooms when my mom said "wait kids, there's something you need to know first"

"She was hit in the head"

"And she may not remember us" my mom finished for her.

Ali not remembering me? That sounds impossible.
