I sat in a waiting room, in the hospital, waiting for a nurse to let me know how Hayden is doing. "Tabitha!" A weary voice called. "Mom?" I looked over, seeing mom and Flinn rush towards me. I stood up from the chair, running into her arms. I felt Flinns little arms wrap around my leg. "Are you okay? Who we're those men?" She asked, running her fingers through my hair. "Yes I'm alright, and I don't know who those men where." I said, my voice sounding muffled as I buried my face into her arm.
When one of Ashton's men had hit me twice, my skin had opened up on my cheek, and had bled. The doctors bandaged it up now, no stitches were needed.
"How is she holding up?" A nurse asked my mom, walking out of Hayden's room. "She's doing f-" I rushed towards her, "How is he doing?" I asked, cutting mom off. "He's doing fine, you may go in and see him now." The nurse said, smiling.
I walked into the room, seeing Hayden lying on a medical bed. "I always hated the smell of hospital's, it reminds me of the dead." He jokes, laughing softly. I smiled, seeing him alright. "Im sorry this double date turned out to be a disaster." He apologized. "It was fine. Dinner was delightful, and dancing with you was quite fun!" I said smiling. "That's good to hear." He smiled back. "So how are you doing?" I asked him, walking over to the bed side. "I should be able to go home soon." He uttered. "That's nice." I said, trying to comfort him with nice words... Though I'm really horrible at it...
Hayden luckily didn't get a broken nose, which I didn't see coming... Ashton was smashing his fist in Hayden's face, and at the time, Hayden's nose was gushing blood. Under Hayden's left eye was a small bruise, that by tomorrow he would definitely have a black eye. "I almost could have broken some ribs, but I got fairly lucky." He smiled. "Im happy to hear you didn't." I smiled back.

I woke up in my warm soft bed. Waking to a pounding headache. It wasn't from the champagne I had at dinner last night, because I only had a little to drink. It was obviously from that guy who smacked me.
As the light shined through my window, burning my eyes, I groaned in pain. My mom must have heard me wake, she was walking into my room with a glass of water and two Advil tablets. "I am so not going to school today!" I groaned. "No one is going to school today." Mom said. "And why is that?" I asked suspicious. "It's a holiday today, everyone gets the day off." She pointed out. I smiled sheepishly, remembering on Friday at school it was announced that only teachers would be going to school on Monday.
"Why aren't you at work mom?" I asked. "I took the day off. Someone's going to have to look after you and Flinn." She stated, handing me the glass of water and the tablets. I popped the Advil into my mouth, washing them down with the water. "Thanks mom." I said, lying back down on my bed to rest.
My phone started vibrating. I had turned all sound off and turned vibrate on, yesterday, so my obnoxious ringtones wouldn't disrupt the date. Looks like I forgot to turn vibrate off. I picked up my phone, from the night stand, next to my bed. The phone slipped from my hands, crash landing on my nose. "Awwwee!" I cried. Blood started spilling from my nose. Just what I need, a bleeding nose. "Mom!" I yelled. My mom rushed up the stairs, walking into my bedroom, to find me with a bleeding nose. "Oh dear." She said, frowning. She came to my side, minutes later, after she had gotten a cloth wetted in cold water. Holding the cloth up to my nose, freezing the blood, well more like drying it. "Thanks mom." I said, sounding funny as I breathed through my mouth.
I picked my phone up again, holding it tightly. Unlocking my phone, I got a notice saying I had two miss calls from Dylan, which I'm not returning! and a text from Aric.
Aric: What happened last night??
Me: I went on a double date with Hayden. Chase went with some bitch named Madison.
Aric: Was she hot?
Me: ...
Aric: I heard you got involved with cops? Did you get put into jail? How could you do this to me? Going to jail without me. Im disappointed in you Tabs!
Aric: What did you do to get in jail? Did you rob a bank? where you selling drugs on the black market? Did you shoot a man? Where you caught braking and entering a building?
I closed my phone, not bothering to respond. Aric was rambling about. And when he does, it's impossible to stop him!
