Tori's pov

I've been in the hospital for two weeks now and I have therapy sessions every other day. Jade visits almost everyday but I never say anything.

Speaking of, Jade walks in the room and sits down in the chair beside the hospital bed grabbing my hand. I pull it away and stare blankly at her

"We're broken up remember?" I say coldly. Where is Isabella?" I ask before she can reply.

"With Beck," I look up and immediately feel guilty for snapping at her when I see the sad look in her eyes.

"Shouldn't you be at school?" I change the subject while messing with the bed sheets.

"It's lunch." She says without emotion and I bite my lip.

Making a split second decision I hesitantly reach a hand out and she talks ahold of it. I grab the book off  the bedside table and hand it to her. She smiles slightly recognizing the book and flips to our favorite page before beginning to read aloud.

I sit up in bed after waking up and Jake's voice fills my head. Taunting me, screaming at me, laughing a terrifying laugh that leaves chills down my spine. I start to scratch my forehead trying to make it go away but it only gets louder and the only thing I can think of to make it go away is screaming.

Nurses and doctors rush in and restrain me while I kick my legs.

"Let me go!" The next thing I know something is stuck in my arm and everything goes black.

Grabbing my phone from my lap I call my cousin who is more like my sister.

"Hello?"

"Hadley, it's me."

"Tori?"

"Yea, its me. I fucked up, Hads. Bad. I'm in the hospital." I wipe the tears from my cheeks and bite the side of my thumb.

"I'm on my way, okay? I'll be there soon."

Hadley walks into the room and I jump out of my hospital bed to walk over to her. She meets me halfway and we weak our arms around each other. We sit there like that for what felt like ages before we pull away.

I kiss her cheek and grab her hand before walking to my bed and patting the empt space behind me.

"When are you discharged?" She asks while sitting next to me.

"Don't know." I shrug and she hugs me again.

Our hug is interrupted by someone clearing their throat behind us. Bella runs over to me and latches onto me. She pulls away and sees who is next to me.

"Aunty Lee!" She yells hugging her as tight as her little arms can.

"Bella!" She pulls back and looks at her.

"You've gotten so big since the last time I saw you. Tell me, have you been good for your mom?" Hadley asks grinning.

Bella giggles and nods.

We hear whispers beside us and I realize Beck, Jade, Cat, and Andre are in the room.

I clear my throat and look over at them.
