Becky's POV

I set down my coffee down, taking my coat off as Michele followed me into Austin's hospital room.

"I hope he gets better soon, I hate the fact that he lost memory of most things." Michele said, taking a seat on the chair by his bed, her hands over his as he slept.

"I know. I think we all want him to get better. Robert looks so upset about all of this, he hasn't been here since Austin was admitted." I say, keeping my distance from Austin, my heart sinking by the minute.

Michele nods, "They're all worried about him. They just express it in different ways, love." She says, sounding so motherly toward me and I flash her a smile.

"Mama." I hear from the door, my eyes finding Samantha in the doorway as Michele greets her with a tight hug.

"Oh my darling, I've missed having you around." She says and I look away, feeling the unwanted tears form in my eyes and I quickly wipe them as I walk over to Austin, who was sound asleep.

"I've missed you too. How is he?" She asks, sounding so worried about him and I roll my eyes as I mess with Austin's hair, my fingers running through his messy curls.

"I miss you." I mumble, my eyes forming tears again and I watch him flutter his eyes open, looking at me with a droopy stare.

"He's doing better, doctor said he should be out of here in a few days, maybe a maximum of 2." Michele explains as Samantha walks over to him and kisses his cheek, his droopy eyes drop his stare on me and finds hers.

"Hey handsome." She says, her hands now in his hair and he smiles weakly, her lips pressing against his and I back away, my stomach turning.

"I'll be back." I say to Michele before I walk out and she nods. I bump into Dani as I walk out of the room.

"Hey, baby love." She says and I greet her with a simple hug.

"How is he?" She asks and before I can answer, I become a walking fountain of tears and Dani engulfs me into a hug as she comforts me.

Slowly, I was losing hope in ever having Austin back as long as she was in the picture, the possibility that she would ever go away, was decreasing by the minute.

"He's okay. He's better, they might release him in a few days." I say, once I compose my self.

"Good. Now, why are you crying?" Dani asks and I look at her, my stomach dropping. I hadn't told her.

"It's nothing." I say, wiping my tears and she looks at me, a small laugh escaping her lips.

"You're lying. Now what happened?" She asks, I get the courage to tell her, she needed to know.

"Samantha, she's in there acting like Austin's girlfriend and of course he doesn't remember anything so to him it's alright." I say. She gives me a confused look, until she nods.

"Are you saying? Wait. Oh my god. You have feelings for him, don't you? That's why you're so worked up about." She says, raising her voice a bit and I bite my lip as I nod.
