~Lily's POV~

I sit on Drew's hospital bed hugging into him, and letting a few tears slip from my eyes out of complete happiness. There is silence between us but not enough to make it awkward, after the events of the last day we both need each others presents, we don't need to talk. I stay cuddled up to him for as long as I can, I feel my eye lids go heavy and he massages my head, stroke through my long hair. I have to leave when the nurse returns and tells Drew he has to stay in for the night, and that visiting times are now over. Before I leave I give Drew a soft peck on the lips, trying not to hurt him and I see pain in his eyes in which he's trying to hid from me. But I know him, probably more than he knows himself. With one last smile I head out of his room, and into the waiting room before leaving to hospital to go and find Austin and Levi.

I feel my phone buzz in my pocket and when I open it there's loads of missed calls and texts from various people.

From Nate: 'Lily, where are you? I've tried texting the guys but no ones answering! Please text or ring me'

I quickly dial his number and wait, he picks up on the first ring obviously anticipating my call.

"Lily are you okay? What's going on? Where are the guys?"

He sounds so worried, and I feel suddenly bad that we didn't try and contact him sooner.

"Nate, it's okay we're okay..." My voice breaks at the memory of what happened tonight.

"Lily, are you okay?" He says with a worried voice.

I tell him everything that happened, Jason and Drews fight, my kidnapping, the park, Levi and Drews fight, my confession, and Drew in hospital. I don't miss out any details, he deserves the truth.

"Lily..." He trails off "I can't believe this has happened. When can I see Drew?"

"Visiting times are over now but we will be going straight back when they open in the morning, you're welcome to come"

"Thank you" he says simply "Your mom is so worried as well, I tell her briefly what happened now, and you can explain the rest when you get back. Be safe" he says before the line goes dead.

*****************************
When I finish my phone call with Nate, I head round the corner to see Austin standing outside my car which he drove us to the hospital in.

"Hey" he says approaching me carefully.

"Hey" I reply but I can not smile.

He pulls me into a hug which I take with a lot of gratitude and I cry into his chest. We pull apart after a while.

"Where's Levi?" I question rubbing my eyes.

"He walked home, said he needed to clear his head" Austin replied.

I nod knowing that I have pissed Levi off unimaginable amounts today, and I don't want to make it worse. Instead I climb into the car with Austin and he drives us home.

**************************
When I arrive back home, I don't even make it through the front door without my moms arms wrapping around me very tightly and her muttering things into my hair. I hug her back feeling complete safe.

"I'm so glad you are okay" she sobs.
"I love you mom" I reply as I can't think of anything else to say, I want to forget tonight.

"I love you too sweetheart"

I see Nate hug Austin who also silently wipes a few tears from his eyes. My mom finally releases me from her grip and goes to make us all hot chocolate, as she has to make her self busy when she's upset. I sit on the couch staring into empty space. Jason's manipulating face grins at me in my mind, and I see Drew unconscious on the floor. I have never felt fear like that in my life.

"Where's your brother?" I hear my mom ask from the kitchen.

"Wait he's not here?" I say assuming he was upstairs and didn't want to talk to me.
"No" replies my mom coming into the room with a tray of drinks. "I'm sure he's just getting over tonight" my mom says convincing herself. But that's not Levi we've have a thousands arguments and he's never not been at home at the end of them.

Where was he?
****************************
~Drew's POV~
I lay away listening to the noise of all the machinery around me. I can't sleep, I find my self wondering where Jason is now, and what he could do to Lily if I'm not around. I toss and turn not able to silence my mind, when I hear the door open. If one of the nurses think I'm still awake they'll give me something to sleep, and I don't want that, I need to be awake incase anything happens. I keep my eyes closed pretending that I was asleep. The person approaches my bed quietly and carefully, I can barely hear their footsteps in dead silence.

"Look after her Drew, she'll need someone to protect her" I hear Levi's voice tell me. I sit up quickly and open my eyes, but Levi was no where to be seen. Convinced it was my imagination, or the medication making me see things, I lay back down and some how fall asleep.
