Aria's POV

My eyes shot open when I heard my name being called.

"Aria.."

"Please wake up Aria."

A masculine voice said. I had to wait a while for my eyes to focus. Once they did I saw Dave, Tyler, My mom and Emma.

"Dave! Your okay!" I smiled at the first sight I saw him.

He chuckled, "Of course I'm okay. How are you feeling?"

"Wha-What do you mean? I'm fine." I said as I looked at my surroundings. I was in a hospital bed. "What's going on?" I shuddered.

"I hit you with my car.. And you've been in a coma for 2 months."Dave said.

I gave him a confused look, "Yeah but- but what about you?! You got in a plane crash and and you cheated on me!" I pointed at Tyler.

"You cheated on her?!" Dave screeched.

"Well you got in a plane crash!" Tyler said. "Come on babe, that was just a horrible dream.."

My mom came by my side, "Aria." She said. "You got hit really hard. They had to do an immediate surgery on your right hip."

I slowly moved my eyes to my waist. I moved the bed sheets out of the way along with the hospital gown. A scar from below my belly button to the side of my right hip was covered in stitches. I winced in pain as I ran my fingers delicately on them.

"Does it hurt sissy?" Emma said. She looked like she had been crying. Probably because the fact that I have been in a coma for two months.

"Yeah," I sighed, "A little."

"I'm just so happy your okay." My mom smiled as small tears formed in her eyes. She brushed the little hairs from my face.

"Mom, don't cry." I giggled.

"I know. I- I'm sorry." She said wiping them. "Come on Em. Lets get your sister some food she must be really hungry." My mom carried Emma in her arms as Em waved goodbye and walked out the door.

"So everything that I thought happened.. never really did?" I asked Dave.

"I- I don't think so.." He shrugged.

"So we never dated?" I asked him.

"We dated?!" He said surprised. I nodded hoping that their would be some sort of memory.

"Maybe we could give it a shot?" I asked.

"Aria what about us?" Tyler interrupted.

But then Dave said something that changed everything: "I- I'm sorry Aria.." He sighed. "I have a girlfriend."

"Who?! Who could you possibly be with?" I screeched.

"Jocelyn." He said.

I scoffed. "I assume you have a kid too?"

"What? No."

"Aria I think you need to rest babe." Tyler said as he kissed my forehead.

I flinched away and snapped, "No! I've rested long enough to know that this isn't happening! Or this shouldn't be happening. This is not how I wanted things to be! Dave, please I know somewhere deep down that you feel the same way?" I pleaded.

"I'm sorry Aria. But sometimes things are meant to change." He said and I cried.

He looked as if everything he said had no affect to him. Like he was talking to a random obsessed girl. He looked calm while I was breaking.

Tears fell quickly as Dave started to walk out the door. I got up from my bed and immediately fell down the floor because of stitched hip. I held my hip with both hands as I begged, "Dave please don't go."

He looked at me with no sympathy. His hand was on the door as I used the bed for support. I limped my way to him as Tyler caught me from falling. By this time Dave had left. "No! Tyler let go of me!" I sobbed.

He soothed me to calm down, "He's not coming back, Aria."

"B- but he has too." I croaked.

"If he really loved you- he would." He said.

Anger filled my body, "That's the worst thing you could ever say to me." I spat. He was about to say something as I stopped him. "Just please. Leave." I said.

He let go of me as I held the board of the bed and left.

I sighed to myself as I looked at my surroundings. The room was filled with balloons and bouquets of flowers. I directed my eyes toward a single white rose. And a card below it.

I limped my way to it as I used the table for support. I opened the small card as it read: Sorry I hit you with my car. -Dave.

Wow. Way to be sympathetic.

I took the rose and picked of the petals as I walked to the bed. I sat up as I heard the doorknob jingle.

"Dave?" I called out excitedly.

In entered my mom and Emma. "Sorry sweetie. It's just us." She smiled.

"You guys are all I really need anyways. Not some stupid boyfriend." I said as I violently picked three petals off and threw them on the floor.

My mom sighed, "I'm sorry things didn't go how you expected them to be."

"It's okay." I sighed. "I knew everything was too good to be true."

She laid the tray of food on the table, "You know it might not went well but at least know you can change it." She said. "All I know is that it's not the end."
