I woke up feeling like crap. In a hospital bed, strapped down. Why was I last thing I remember is Lucas......

I try to sit up, "Your awake!" I hear. I look over, my eyes still adjusting to the light on my eyes directly. "What?" I reply to the voice.

The person walks closer and sits down next to my bed. "I got here as soon as I can!" I recognize that voice from everywhere, Emily.

"Emily! What are you doing here!" I exclaim. "I heard you where in the hospital, in critical condition. I came as soon as I could. Some guy named.....uh..Zack I think?"

"Zacky." I correct her. "Yeah, that guy. What put in here? Car accident? Plane crash?" I shake my head at her guesses.

"It was him....." I say, looking at her clearly. She frowns, "Brian?" I frown and sigh at his name being mentioned.

"Lucas!" Emily exclaims. I nod and I feel the tear fall. "Don't cry, sissy. He's not here, your safe." Emily says, trying to reassure me.

"I'll call Zacky over, he gave me his number in case you woke up. I'll be right back." Emily says before kissing my forehead and leaving the room.

Once the door closes, I start to cry. More heavily than I ever have. I let it out. I can't be more angry with myself for letting this happen. I really wish one of the guys was with me. Especially Brian, he would have done something. I know he would. Even though he screwed up, I feel like some of it is my fault as well. I overreacted. A little too much, I lashed out on him and left. I probably caused some pain, mostly to myself. I'm so stupid for what I did. I need to apologize, but I'm sure he won't forgive me. For what I've done, I don't expect him to.

"Haley? Are you okay?" I hear Emily ask. I nod and hug my knees. "No your not. What is it?" Emily asks as she sits on the edge of my bed.

"What is it, Haley?" Emily asks again. "It's Brian!" I say, placing my head down, hugging my knees tighter.

"What happened, I thought you two were dating?" Emily asks. I shake my head, "I don't know anymore...." I reply.

"What do you mean? Are fighting? Just ignoring him? What?" Emily asks. "It's hard to explain." I say when the door opens.

"Haley! Oh God, I'm so sorry this happened. Are you okay?" Zacky asks while he rushes in. "Calm down, Zack. Don't do anything stupid." Matt says behind him.

"I'm just worried. If only I was there! I could have been the punching bag instead of Haley...." Zacky calls back.

"No, don't blame yourself Zacky." I say as the others enter the room. Johnny, Karla, Val, Jimmy, Haven and then Brian...

Jimmy and Haven come to the other side of the bed, hand in hand. "I'm sorry I left you, Haley." Haven says.

I smile, "It's no ones fault. Really." Haven sighs and Jimmy bends over to hug me. "I'm glad to see your okay, Haley." Jimmy whispers.

I smile and put my arms down as he pulls away. "Are you sure you okay?" Val asks me. I nod. The only person who hasn't really said anything is Brian. He's just standing behind Matt, looking at his shoes. Trying not to be noticed.

I sigh and turn back to the front of me, looking at Karla. She has red rims around her eyes. She's been crying, why? "Was I asleep long?" I ask openly.

Everyone in the room shuffles for a second. "Six days...." Jimmy whispers. I sigh and close my eyes. I throw my head back at the pillow and sigh again.

"Where's Lucas?" I ask, opening my eyes. "We don't know..." Brian said. I turn my attention to him. He's looking at me and I just can't help but smile on the inside.

I turn back and look at Zacky. His arm wrapped around a sad smiling Karla. "When can I get out of here?" I ask.

Johnny stretches, "Soon, I hope. But your apartment is in shreds." I frown. "Where are you staying, Zacky's?" I ask Karla. She smiles and nods.

I just sit there. "Let's go see when she can leave." Johnny says.

Everyone starts to go out the door, and Brian is last. I reach out my hand. "Brian..." I say slowly. He turns around and mets my eyes.

"Please stay." I say quietly. Brian sighs softly and comes to the bed. I sit up and groan when I feel a pain stretch in my side.

"Are you okay?" Brian asks, his hands on my sides. I nod and look up at him. He looks down at me and I lost my voice. "Haley, I...." Brian started.

Brian looked at the blanket then back at me, sheepishly. "Haley, I'm sorry...." I put my hands on his forearms covered in tattoos. "I'm sorry, too. I overreacted and.. I..." I say, but I'm cut off by Brian putting his hand to my face.

"I...I love you, Haley." Brian stutters out. I'm speechless and my breath is taken away when he kisses me.

He pulls away and his lips linger above mine as he looks me dead in the eye. "I know I screwed up, and if you hate me. Then I'm completely fine with th-" I cut him off by pulling the collar of his shirt and kissing him.

When I pull away, I see he's just as shocked as I was. "I love you too, Brian." I whisper. Brian smiles and kisses me again. He kisses my face, all over. Lips, nose, cheeks, forehead. I smile and Brian stops to look at me.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there. I sho-" I stop Brian by putting my finger to his lips. "Like I said to Zacky, don't blame yourself." I say.

Brian adjusts, "I just feel so bad for letting any of this to happen." I sigh. "It was Jared, we all know it." I say. Brian nods and the door opens.
