Tom's POV:

Everything  turns dark. I can hear someone scream. When  I wake up again, I'm in the hospital. I try lifting my head. It hurts. I look around. In the bed next to mine is Mia. She has  her eyes closed and monitors are  beeping.

"Hello. How are  you?"
I look at the  person talking to me, it is a nurse. I nod. And close my eyes.

"So is everything all right sweetheart? I heard that Mia and you were in the hospital, I came as soon as possible."
It's Mia's mom.

"Yes ma'am. I'm really sorry about your baby. I heard."

"Oh, that's okay sweetie. I already have 3 wonderful children. I miss him, but he never left his mark on this  earth. He wasn't real. Well real enough but still. You know what I mean."

"Yes. Actually I do."

She hugs me and strikes over my hair.  Then she plants a kiss on my forehead and walks over to Mia. She broke her nose. Again. This is the second time someone threw her off the stairs.  And that she broke her nose.

It kills me that it's  because of me. "Hey honeybun. How's your nose? And you hit your head really hard. Do you want to see Tom?"

She shakes her head and her mother closes the curtain around her. Her mother, Diane leaves the room.

"I know that you are mad but why are you mad?"
"We broke up, remember?"

"No we didn't. That was a joke. I hate Nick."

"I don't hate him. He's a nice person. Attractive even. Good-looking guy."
My stomach churns. I know she is only joking. But why does she sound so serious?

I get out of bed. I only have a concussion. It's a mild one. Still the room spins and turns when I get up and out of bed. I walk to her bed and open the curtain.
She's almost sleeping. I sit  down on her bed. She opens one of her eyes and pretends to look very angry.
In which she fails.

"Oh, c'mon, Love you don't mean that. I love you. I'll do anything for you, you know that."
She mutters something. "Excuse me, what did you say?"

She blushes and speaks again. And once again I didn't quite catch it.

"A little louder, please."

"Promise me you will never cheat."
"I won't. I promise. I love you way too much."

She smiles and closes her eyes again. She's sleeping within a minute.
I smiles and get up, walk to my own bed and fall asleep.

#Nick's POV#

I just meant for Tom to fall down the stairs. It's been enough. He stole my girlfriend. Well fiancee. And she was fine with it. I hate him. If I could just  get her to break up with him. Oh that would be amazing. But it would be even better  if she dated me. Not that I like her. She's absolutely not my type but still it would be amazing. It would hurt him so much.  Okay perhaps I do  like her, Mia.
God how much do I hate my half brother.
I climb up that stupid stairs and light up a cigarette. I hate this place. It is so stupid. I grab my lighter and light it. I throw it on the couch. It immediately starts burning. Within a few seconds the whole place is starting to burn down. I let myself fall on the ground and dial 911.

"Yes, help me please. Yeah. Okay I'll wait. Thank you very much."

A few minutes later sirens are wailing through the streets. Firemen get out of the car and start spraying water on the burning tree. Minutes later the fire stopped and the tree burned down. Just like that place of theirs.

Good.
I feel amazing. So now I'm going to the bar and pick up some stupid girl.
I haven't been laid in at least two months. And I need some booze. It'll help me sleep at night. Shit. I miss Celine.

||//Mia's POV\\||

I wake up. My nose hurts  and tickles. I'm goig to sneeze. I can go home now. I'm looking forward to going home. I want to watch FRIENDS in bed with Tom's arms around me.
That's my favorite place on earth. Just laying there with his arms around me.

I walk out of the hospital and sit down on a bench. My nose is sore and it is now burning a little. Or though it seems to be.

"Well well well , look at what the cat dragged in. It's Mia Vegora."

Andrew. "Hello, Andrew. What are you doing here?"

"I was going to pay you a visit. But well I made up my mind and  want to go home now. "

"Andrew. I don't understand. What on earth did I ever do?"
"You not only broke Steven's heart, you also broke mine. I was falling in love with you and you just made up with Tom and totally forgot about me. I need to do this."

I know what he's about to do. I walk away from him. To the car. Tom's waiting for me. He honks and I open the door.

"Hey. You look good. Hello Mr. Nose, new outfit? Blue makes you look fat. And that purple! So fetch!"

I laugh. He places a kiss on my nose and I smile.
"Hey Tom, I just realised something."

He pays attention to what I'm about to say.

"Tom I love you. Deeply. Maybe we should go watch a movie tonight. Or FRIENDS of course."
"I love you more. Well we could always bring a visit to my parents."

He laughs sarcastically. I swat him on the arm. "Well I'm sorry about that. I had no idea. I'm sorry Tom."

"It's okay, you couldn't have known. I love you when you're feeling like everything is your fault. Dearest Mia. It's. Not. Your. Fault. Believe me."

I slightly blush. Unsure wether this is a compliment or an insult.
"Thanks I guess. "
"Let's go out, dance, tonight."

"I'd love to."

"And I'm going to make you a very delicious dinner tonight. Something Italian."

"Sounds delicious. What did I do to deserve you?"

"I don't know. Probably some weirdo  up there thought we'd be cute together. Well he was right."

I smile and he starts driving us home. I fall asleep along the way.

Tom wakes me up when we're in the apartment.

"Wake up love. Dinner is served."

He helps me stand up and we walk into the kitchen.
We eat and then we go out dancing.

So this is chapter 18. It's not one of my favorites but still. A girl has to write. It's snowing ♡
