I woke up feeling a lot of pain and noticed I was on a gurney being loaded into an ambulance.

"Don't tell my brother..." Were the first words I uttered.

"Miss stay calm everything is going to be okay." The paramedic said. While I was in the ambulance they said I wasn't in critical condition and that I was able to speak to them about what happened.

"I was driving and I meant to pull over but the gas pedal got stuck and I crashed." I lied.

"But the gas pedal wasn't stuck when we pulled you out or the car." She said. "You also still have tear stains on your cheeks, Hun. Was it a suicide attempt or not?"

"No."

"Alright. I'm guessing you don't want to talk about it then?"

"I'll talk about it all you want." I said getting annoyed that she wasn't buying my story.

"Why should we not call your brother?"

"He'd kill me if he knew I wrecked the car."

"Even if he knew you were hurt?"

"As I've recently learned, my brother isn't the most understanding person..." I mumbled.

"Is there anyone we can call?"

"Would a close friend be alright?"

"I...suppose." She hesitated.

"Autumn?" Bradley called running into the room. "Autumn what happened?"

"It's not important..." I said weakly.

"Are you sure?"

"I was hurt okay!" I said feeling the tears rolling down my face. "I was hurt that my own brother said I wasn't good enough! And that I actually believed it." I was choking back a few sobs

"Autumn don't you ever tell me that you're not good enough or that you don't deserve the good things in life. Because you are. You are worth the universe. He may be your brother but you do not have to take any of his shit. You are such an amazing person and I don't know what I would do if..." He paused. "Love yourself, Autumn. If you do then I promise, things will start to get better quicker." He kissed my forehead.

"Thank you." I whispered. "For everything."

"Hey look at you two lovebirds." Tris said walking through the door. He looked much different than how I had pictured him. "Nice to finally meet you Autumn." He smiled.

"Nice to meet you too Tris."

"You alright?" He asked.

"A broken leg and sprained wrist. Pretty lucky for a car crash."

"I hope you don't mind that I brought the rest of the band here. Thought you could use some friends." He whispered.

"Bradley Will Simpson, you never disappoint me." I whispered back.

"Can we come in now?" Someone asked from the hallway.

"Yeah guys. She's cool with it. Tris was supposed to wait for my signal." He said eyeing Tris.

"Hey I needed to see the girl you wouldn't shut up about." He chuckled and so did I. Bradley just blushed. Two boys walked in the room.

"Hey I'm James." The tall one said

"Connor." He waved. Connor had a slight Scottish accent.

"Nice to meet you all." I said.

"So how did you two meet and how did you connect so well?" James asked.
