I stayed with Alex all night and when I woke up I ran home real quick and took a shower and changed clothes. I packed a bag for Alex I got her favorite UNC t-shirt and hoodie and a pair of Nike skateboard pants and a pair of vans so she has something to wear on the way back here I changed the sheets on the guest room and head to Starbucks to get 2 white chocolate mocha's since there our favorite.

I headed back to the hospital to pick Alex and I'm hoping she isn't up yet. I get back to her room and she is still sound asleep I set down the clothes I brought her and leaned in and kissed her head she slowly started to come to

"Good morning beautiful, I brought you some clothes and a cup of coffee." I tell her

"Thank you baby." She says in her sexy raspy morning voice.

"I talked to the doctor and he said you can leave at 12, he will be in here in a few to get us to feel out some papers." I explain to her.

"Okay that's fine but will you help me to the bathroom so I can shower." She ask.

"Yeah totally just wait a second I'm going to go get a nurse so she can help me." I say as I get up to go get the nurse.

I come back with the nurse and we get her to the bathroom and she gets in the shower. I sit in the room playing on my phone while I wait for her and her phone goes of and I see that it is her sister Jeri

J: hey al where are you dad is flipping out

A: hey it's Tobin! Alex is in the hospital she fell down the stairs yesterday and she has for broke ribs and a punctured lung.

J: Omg!! why do you have her phone tho?

A: Oh she is in the shower and I'm sitting her waiting to take her back to my place.

J: Okay. Tell her to text me when she gets a chance please.

A: Will do

Alex go out of the shower and she had my clothes on that I brought her. Damn she looks so good her hair still wet and the way my clothes looked on her she is amazing

"Hey you!" I say as she sit back on the bed

"Hey! Thank you for everything I don't know what I would so with out you." She tells me sounding very appreciative.

"It was nothing you would do it for me. Oh yeah I almost forgot to tell you that your brother text you." I tell her.

She picks up her phone and her mood changes completely. The doctor walks in to talk to the both of us.

"Good morning! Alex you are going to stay at Tobin house till you are better. You can go back to school in about a week, we called in some medicine for the pain you may have." He explains to the both of us.

Alex smiles at me and is ready to leave, we get in the car and head back you my house. I am excited that she is staying with me so I can take care of her.

Alex's POV:

I am super nervous that Tobin is going to ask me questions about what happened to me, because I know that she has figured out that I didn't fall down the stairs.

"Hey Tobs can we go by my house so I can get my clothes and stuff," I asked.

"Of course! Do you want me to go in with you." She asked.

I just froze I don't know what to say I'm scared to answer. " No I will be fine." I say lying to her because I'm scared to tell her the truth.

We pull up to my house and I see that my dads truck was there I completely froze I was so scared but I couldn't let Tobin see I just got out of the car and walked slowly to the door praying that my dad would be asleep. I walked through the door and went upstairs to my room and got me some clothes a few pairs or shoes a hair brush and a tooth brush. The he burst through the door of my room.

"Where in the hell have you been" he screamed and I already figured out he was drunk.

"In the hospital," I screamed back.

"Did that Tobin bitch hurt you," he asked.

"No you did you beat the shit out of me," I told him sternly starting to cry.

He smacked me across the face, "don't you ever talk to me like that you bitch" he's yelled.

He left the room and I was so shaken up by what happened I finished grabbing my thinks and left. I never wanted to come back. I texted Jeni.

Jeni: Hey! I am getting me you and Jeri out of that house soon.

I locked my phone and got in the car and Tobin looked at me. "What happened to your cheek it is all swollen and red." Tobin asks me I completely froze in my seat. " I don't want to talk about it can I wait and tell you when I'm ready." I ask almost about to cry. " Yes of course!" She says as she turns on the radio to change the subject. She is always so supportive and understand I don't know what I would be without her.

Tobin's POV:

She got back in the car and I noticed the mark on her face and I asked her what happened and she said she didn't want to talk about it but when she was ready she would. So I turn on our favorite song to listen to together which is "Stitches by Shawn Mendes ft. Hailee Steinfeld" I reached across the console and interlaced our fingers to let her know I'm here for her. We start to sing the song together.

I thought that I'd been hurt before
But no one's ever left me quite this sore
Your words cut deeper than a knife
Now I need someone to breathe me back to life

Got a feeling that I'm going under
But I know that I'll make it out alive
If I quit calling you my lover
Move on

You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
Shaking, falling onto my knees
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
Tripping over myself
Aching, begging you to come help
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches

Just like a moth drawn to a flame
Oh, you lured me in, I couldn't sense the pain
Your bitter heart cold to the touch
Now I'm gonna reap what I sow
I'm left seeing red on my own

Got a feeling that I'm going under
But I know that I'll make it out alive
If I quit calling you my lover
Move on

You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
Shaking, falling onto my knees
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
Tripping over myself,
Aching, begging you to come help
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches

Needle and the thread,
Gotta get you out of my head
Needle and the thread,
Gonna wind up dead

Needle and the thread,
Gotta get you out of my head, get you out of my head

You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
Shaking, falling onto my knees (falling on my knees)
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches (and I'll be needing stitches)
Tripping over myself,
Aching, begging you to come help (begging, "Baby, please.")
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches

(And now that)
I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
(And now that)
I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches

The song ended as we pulled into my driveway, we get out of the car, I grab her thing and we go inside. I put her thing in the extra room and we went to my room and layer in my bed and caught up on some Hart of Dixie. We laid there and watched the show for about an hour or so and Alex sat up in the bed and looked am and said " I think I'm ready to talk about what happened earlier."
