Isla's POV -

My head ached, the worst migraine I'd ever experienced in my life and my eyes refused to open. I felt awake, just about, but my whole body was stiff and I only just managed to move my hand. I felt a warm sensation move across the palm of my hand and a voice, "Isla! Isla, can you hear me?!" Skip? Was I dreaming? Was I dead? "Isla, wake up! nurse!" I heard his beautiful voice ringing in my ears, I longed to see his face but my eyes just wouldn't open, however hard I tried. "Her hand squeezed mine and her eyes, they flickered." I felt hand move across my cheek and then his lips pressed to mine, warming my entire body. I tried to kiss him back but my lips were stiff and frozen. "Okay Mr.Sahyounie, step outside for just a moment." I heard a female voice, obviously that of the nurse. I didn't want Skip to leave, I squeezed his hand again and felt his palm leave mine. "Don't leave Daniel." I whispered, my voice was hoarse and my throat was rough, I fought against all the pain in my head and forced my eyes open being blondes by the bright lights. "Isla!" Skip rushed over and hugged my aching body, "don't leave me?" I repeated and tears began falling from my eyes.

"Welcome back Miss.Rhodes, Mr.Sahyounie, you can stay, there's no need for me to run any tests now that she has gained consciousness." The nurse smiled at the two of us and exited the room, leaving us alone. Skip was crying now, stroking my hair and kissing my hand over and over again. "I'm so sorry Isla! I will never leave you again I promise, I love you! I'll kill him!" He spoke fast, worry and anger took over and he cried harder. I smiled and lifted my arm up, I wiped the years from his eyes and he looked up at me, his gorgeous eyes melting my heart. "Daniel, they're gone, I'm fine. I mean, I'm alive aren't I?" I joked, clearly I was still shocked over everything that had happened, "if it wasn't for you Daniel, I could be dead" I smiled and he told me everything that had happened, with Luke, Beau and Veronica. I couldn't believe that they had all sacrificed their life for me. "Someone wants to see you." Daniel muttered, looking out if the window and into the corridor. "I'll leave you two alone for a minute." He smiled and kissed my forehead before leaving the room. "Daniel-" I whispered, "I love you." I finished and he blew me a kiss before letting the door shut behind him.

The door opened again, a few seconds later, and Beau appeared, in a wheel chair. I gasped when I saw his bruised, cut face and he wheeled himself over to my bedside. A nurse followed him in, "Is everything okay Mr.Brooks? Do you need help?" She asked him, tears formed in my eyes as I looked at Beau, sitting uncomfortably in his wheel chair. "I'm fine thanks, could you give us a minute?" He replied and the nurse nodded, closing the curtains and dimming the lights, "the light isn't good for Miss.Rhodes head and eyes after the concussion, I hope you don't mind." She smiled and left the room. "Beau, I'm so sorry!" the tears rolled down my face, Beau took my hand and sat up in his chair. "Isla, I'm fine. The chair is just because the doctors don't want me to damage my rib anymore, I can walk just fine." he laughed, standing up out of the chair, I moved up in the bed and he sat down next to me. "But Beau, you shouldn't have out yourself in danger for me." I sat up right, Beau's free hand stroked the side of my face and his beautiful teen eyes met mine. Even though he'd been damaged, his eyes still held that twinkle, the one thing that would always attract me to him.

"Isla, I'd do anything for you, you know that." he whispered and moved his face closer, so his nose almost touched mine. "Beau, I-" I began as Beau pressed his lips against mine, that sweet kiss I used to crave and for a second, I let myself kiss him back, I let myself fall for his charm. I felt his hand leave mine and take place on the other side of my face and quickly pulled away from him, "Beau, what are you doing?!" I questioned him in shock, Beau looked down at his lap and shuffled awkwardly off the bed. "I'm sorry, I couldn't help it, I still love you Isla." he mumbled and sat back into the wheelchair. "Beau, I love Skip! And you love Shay, I'm sorry." I replied, the feelings I had for Beau were surfacing and I couldn't let myself fall back into the ugly trap he'd once held me in. I loved Daniel, more than anything, he'd saved my life and there was no way I was letting Beau come between us again. "I love Shay, but not like I love you, you're my first love, I don't care how brief what we had was, I can't stop thinking about you. You kissed me back, I felt it!" he continued, twiddling his thumbs and finally making eye contact again. "Beau, you can't do this, it's not fair. I love Daniel, that's the end of it." I said sternly, putting Beau in his place, but the truth was, I had kissed him back.

Beau's POV -

"Beau, I think you should leave and we should forget this ever happened." Isla said awkwardly. I know she kissed me back, I know she still has feelings for me, but she was right, this wasn't fair on anyone. The feelings I had for her wouldn't die down, I'd never stop trying but Skip was my best friend, I needed to distance myself. "I'm sorry Isla, I shouldn't have done that." I didn't regret it, but I had to act like I did, to protect everyone else, to protect Isla. "it's forgotten about, I'm sorry." I apologised again and wheeled myself from the room. "Beau, you know I love you, just not in that way." she spoke softly, I watched her beautiful, pink lips move and even though those words hurt like a thousand knives, the tone in her voice and the beauty on her face made me fall for her more. "I know." was the only thing that came out of my mouth, I just couldn't bring myself to take her away from Skip, again. Luke hurried over and held the door open for me, "How is she?" he asked, I knew everyone else was desperate to see her and I was thankful Skip had let me go first. "She's great, go and see for yourself." I put on a fake smile and wheeled myself down to the seating area.

Luke, Sierra, Jai, James and Veronica followed Skip back into the room as Shay walked next to me. "Beau, are you okay?" She asked, sounding worried and kneeling down beside me as we reached the coffee machine. "I'm fine, I promise. I love you Shailene Katrina Rodriguez." I leant over and kissed her forehead. She smiled, looked up and kissed my lips sweetly, "I love you too Beau Peter Brooks, just don't use my whole name in public!" we both laughed and she began making herself a coffee, "you want one baby?" she asked, I shook my head and pulled a bottle of water from the side of the chair. I was lucky to have Shay, I shouldn't treat her the way I had been lately, she deserved so much more. "I'm sorry gorgeous." I laughed and pulled her onto my lap, wheeling the two of us down to the seats, "Hmm, I could get used to this." she giggled and rested her head on my chest. I had to make this work, no more fantasising about Isla, and what could have happened, no more sneaking behind Skip's back. It would be hard, but we had only just got everyone back together and I hadn't seen all of them this happy in a long time.
