Tate had finally been able to go home and back to school today. I was happy for him to finally be back and apparently every other girl in the school was trilled as well.

The whole day every girl would either come up to ask him what happened. I rolled my eyes at all of them. Tate had always gotten more attention then me in the first place and I got used to it over the years but it still bothered me. Girl with there fake laughs and flirtatious ways.

I sat at lunch silent just playing with my salad. This is the first time I was sitting in the cafeteria with Alex across from me awkwardly silent and Tate talking to some girl giggling at him. I expected Tate to at least help stop the tension between me and Alex but that obviously wasn't happening.

"Get lost Stacy your boyfriend is looking for you." I heard a voice say to the girl. When I looked up I saw a face I was not happy to see.

Madison.

"What do you want Madison?" Tate suddenly was annoyed.

"Nothing. I was just so worried about you. I heard what happens you must be so strong to get through that." She said. I was practically gagging. I looked over at Alex who rolled his eyes and fake gagged to get a giggle out of me.

"Oh hello." Madison said. She tuned to look at Alex. She sat next to him and you could tell everyone was uneasy.

"Madison just leave." Tate said.

"Oh fine. But Tate remember our deal." She winked and walked off.

What deal? I was suddenly curious but I wasn't going to ask any questions.

-------
After school I was gonna give Tate a ride home but I needed stop at the store to pick up some things for my mum. One thing that I hate about my mum being pregnant is that she always needs me to buy her thing to help her ravings. I went up to the cashier with Tate handing him the money. And grabbing the bags.

"Sorry about lunch." He said as we walked to my car.

"It's fine. Girls are into injured boys I guess." I said.

"Yeah it got annoying after a while." He explained.

"Yeah" I said not really wanting to have this conversation.

"God I'm so tired." I said resting my head on his shoulder. I was extremely tired. I hadn't really gotten any sleep with Tate being in the hospital I was finally trying to get more sleep.

"So I'm guessing no movies at your place?" He laughed.

"You can still come by but we will nap." I said.

"Fine with me" he said. I had wondered why we parked so far away when I was tired. Finally we had gotten to the car and we were driving back to my house.

"Hello Tate how are you feeling?" My mum asked him.

"I'm doing fine. How are you and little hemmo" He asked her.

"He or she is going to be the end of me" she laughed.

"I thought I was little hemmo." I frowned

"Don't worry honey you'll always be my baby hemmo." My mum said as if talking to a child and kissing me on the forehead. I laughed.

"Let's go in my room Tate." I said to him and he followed me down the hall.

"I feel like I haven't been in here for so long."

"I know with you getting into the accident and me and..." I stopped when I realized what I saying. I smiled and tried to play it off

"You know you can talk to me about it. Are you okay?" He asked me. In all reality I was fine some what but I couldn't help but fell not good enough. Like I wasn't worth him trying to fight for me even when he wasn't 100% I loved Tate. I wouldn't tell Tate that though.

"Tate don't worry about me for the last time. I'm totally fine." I explained. He nodded even though I could tell he wasn't fully convinced.

"Oh by the way what was Madison talking about a deal you two made?" I asked him. He tensed up at my words.

"Oh that's it's just something for class. No big deal." He said. I felt like he was lying but I didn't push the subject anymore.

"Oh so there is this party on Friday and we should go." he told to me.

"Tate you just got out of the hospital and you know I don't like parties cause parties mean social interaction." I explained.

"Oh come on just live a little." he said.

"Yeah last time I tried to live a little you ended up getting hit by a car." I folded my arms in front of my chest.

"Please Charlie I will love you forever. I haven't been allowed to drink any alcohol in weeks please do this for me." he complained and set his head on my lap

"One, neither of us is allowed to drink in the first place. Two fine but only cause I'm the best friend on the planet." I complimented myself.

"Thank you." he hugged waste, and I laughed at his excitement.

"But now I get to pick the movie." I smirked.

"Fine." he sighed. I grabbed the remote and started picking movies on Netflix.

*Friday* 

The week had past like every other boring week of school and I wasn't excited for Friday cause that meant I was being forced to go to a party with Tate. To make things even better I found out earlier in the week that Alex would also be attending the party but I wasn't too worried. After school I went back to my house and later Tate would pic me up. It was at one of the kids on the same team as Tate.

I wanted to actually have fun tonight so if I was going to go I was going to make the best out of it. When I got home I changed into a slim black shirt that showed just enough cleavage and skinny jeans. Instead of wearing any type of heals  I work converse. My dad was out so there would be rant as I slipped past my mum and out to Tate's car.

"Wow." he said

"Eyes on the road please." is all I said.

It's just a party. What could go wrong?
