Hayden's POV

''Just my neck, I think.'' I bubbled to the doctor as he was examining me. I looked at his face and tried to read his features but I couldn't focus since my neck was hurting really bad. From the corner of my eyes I saw my mom staring at what the doctor was going to say.

''It's normal. I will recommend you some pain killers to ease the pain.'' The doctor said writing down on the papers. I nodded my head and tried to get comfortable in the bed somehow to ease the pain.'' If anything happens just press the red bottom over the bed and I will come.''

''Thank you doctor.'' My mom said for me and he walked out of the door.'' I was so worry baby.'' She informed me and came by the bed and leaned down and kissed my head.

''You don't have to worry about me mom. I am not going anywhere.'' I tried to lighten the mood and I did cause she laughed a little and then kissed my head again.

''I know. And I'm more than happy with this. In fact I can't wait.'' She said and half sat on the bed looking at me and caressing my hair.

My mom was the best. Always there for me, always standed by my side, always loved me. I won't change her for the world, because she was the only one that could put up with me 24/7 and still be happy for having me there. I had friends that I loved so much but my mom would be my number one friend.

''You know I learned that Carlos has a son.'' I started wanting to explain to her how I end up here like this.'' And we went to find him.''

She had a look of knowledge on her face.'' I know, Michaela explained everything to us. And it was a big shock for me.''

I exhaled.'' Thank God because it's really hard to talk about him again. I hate him mom. I don't want to know him ever again.''

''Who are you talking about Hayden?'' My mom questioned me, looking into my eyes as they started to fill with tears.

''Dad,'' I cried out.'' He is the worst person I know. I can't believe that people like him exist. We went there and told him about George or about my life with him and he didn't even flinch, didn't set a tear, didn't even say a sorry. I told him that he has a grandson and didn't even ask about his name or anything.''

''Hayden, baby he doesn't deserve your tears.'' She stated and I raised my hand to wipe my tears that I didn't know were running down. I nodded my head and scooted closer to her and felt her rest her hand on top of mine.

''I'm glad that Valentino will never get to know him.'' I replied.

''Sh. Don't think about it again. Right now, you need to worry about you getting better and go to your baby as soon as possible.''

''I miss him. I haven't seen him for almost four days and my heart is going to break.'' I told her and she laughed at me making me frown.

''Ha ha ha, I know the feeling.''

''Can you bring him here? I want to see him.''

''Do you think that this is a good idea?'' My mom asked worried.'' Do you want to see you in this condition?''

I thought about it and then shook my hear. I didn't want Valentino to see me in this condition, put up on all these machines. I knww I won't take the collar off soon but that's the least.

''Now, I remembered it. What happened when you told Grayson about Valentino?'' She asked and I sighed.

''Let's just say that he is okay with him and he really loves him and that he just hates me for not giving him the chance then. That's all.''

''Is he wrong about it?''

''No.''

''Didn't I tell you, you should had told him?''

''Yes.''

''Would be worth the try?''

''Yeah.''

''Now, you know that I was and I will always be right. So, you should start listening me more.'' I rolled my eyes at her because she always told me that mothers were always right and when I got to be a mom I woukd know. As far as I awas mother I didn't know things. Perhaps it was because I am only twenty years old and because Valentino was only two years old.

''I will.'' I assured her with a roll of my eyes again. Just then there was a knock on the door and when I said yes it opened revealing George with a big smile on his face.

''Hey ladies.'' He said and walked slowly inside, closing the door behind him. I kind of forgot him with all the accident but I was happy to see him in front of me and much alive and okay. I noticed he had only a cast on his arm and a bandage on his head.

''Hey George.'' I welcomed him and gave him a smile.'' Mom I want you to meet George, my brother. George this is my mom, Amelia.''

I introduced them to each other and they walked to each other, George was giving her his hand to shake but my mom hugged him which took him and me by surprise. But I liked it because I didn't want my mom to hate him or anything because he was her ex-husband's son and because he was my brother.

''Nice to meet you. I heard so many things for you.'' She said and he smiled.

''Yes, but nothing you can prove.'' He joked and we laughed at his joke.'' Nice to meet you too. I want to say that you raised Hayden right, she is the best girl on the world.''

''I know. Oh, how rude of me, are you okay? What happened to you?'' She asked and I nodded in agreement.

''Yeah, what's wrong with your head?'' I pointed to his head.

''Some stitches on the back but nothing too serious and a broken shoulder. What about you? Grayson told me you had an internal bleeding or something?'' He questioned me and went and sat on the chair which was near my bed and my mom sat on the one by the window.

''Yeah, but everything is okay except my freaking neck which hurts so much.''

''Thank God. We escaped from this with slightly injuries. Could you imagine how bad we could end up since the car rolled over?'' He asked and I saw my mom's eyes widen.

''What? The car rolled over? I can't believe it. Hayden did you get your car license at night? How can you roll over the car?'' She kind of yelled at me and I rolled my eyes.

''First of all I got it on a beautiful sunny day and secondly I didn't roll it by myself. The other dude fell on us.''

''Funny Hayden.'' She said and I chuckled.'' You need to be careful.''

''I was mad back then. With our fucking dad and all.''

''Okay I get it but this is not reason to not be careful while driving. You should be thankful that you didn't get hurt badly or die.'' She told me with the motherly stern. I nodded my head looked away from her. '' Anyway, I'm just glad that you are both okay.''

''Thank you Mrs. Amelia.'' George smiled and scratched the back of his head.'' I should be going now because those pain killers make me really sleepy for no reason. Hayden I'm so happy that you are okay and Mrs. Amelia nice meeting you again. Goodbye, see you later.'' And he was out of the room fast leaving me and my mom alone again.

''You should probably get some sleep. Ryan and Derek will come later to see you.'' My mom told me and I nodded my head.

''Do you know when I will leave? I hate hospital and more their fucking white rooms.'' I stated and I saw my mom shake her head.

''I don't know but I hope fast.''

I hoped so because I wanted to go home and see my baby and sleep in my bed with him.
