Flashback:

The warm summer heat burns me like corn in a kettle. If it weren't for Nina's pool this whole summer would have been totally drab. Today though, me and Nina decide to stay indoors, enjoying each other's wittiness and sarcasm.

"What would you do if Niall Horan just randomly walked in and kissed you right now."

"Either pass out or kiss him back, no questions asked."

"What about Jeydon?" Nina's current boyfriend, i personally didn't like him. He always had that off feeling about him whenever i would hang with them. I can't complain though. Whatever makes nina happy, makes me happy.

She simply stares off into space, purposefully ignoring me. "Well.....it is Nialler after all, i think there's an exception." she grins a fake happy smile.

"What have I told you?! If that boy is hurting you, physically, mentally, or emotionally i need you to tell me." i stand up, angry with the fact she is letting something like this happen. "I promise, Jeydon hasn't done anything!" she gives me puppy dog eyes, begging that I don't ask anymore questions. "I still don't believe you, but I trust you to make wise decisions." i sit back on her bed, gripping her shoulders for a hug. Relief floods her face.

"Hey, what's that?" I ask, pointing to something shiny on the top of Nina's closet. The way it glittered in the light, I just knew there was something special about it. "Hmm, Idk. Alien spaceship?" we both laugh. I pull up a chair, attempting to reach the top of the 8 foot tall frame. I reach for the shiny thing, and immediately scream. Soon Nina's screaming too, for I'm losing blood fast. She rushes upstairs to get her mom, while I examine what I touched. Broken glass.

I can only imagine if it was Nina who reached for it instead of me. No. I can't bear to picture her in this kind of pain. If anyone were to hurt her..... Before i know it I'm bawling my hazel eyes out. Nina and her mother return, assuming I'm crying from the pain. We can clean the wound on the outside, but the emotional scars I know she's hiding is what keeps me going when I get my stitches. If only she'd tell me, then my pain wouldn't be bottled up inside.

Present Day:

I wake up only to be blinded by bright light. My vision focuses and I look around the room. The gray walls, the smell of cleaners in the air, the IV's by my side, i'm in the hospitalg. The pain hits me like a bullet, and i let out what i assume was a scream, bur my voice is so hoarse it sounds more like a garbage disposal.

"She's awake! Someone go get Harry!" a recognize the voice, Nialler, beautiful niall. I couldn't be more happy to see a hungry Irish boy in my life. He shakes Nina awake, and she begins crying tears of joy, and soon Olivia and Grace join in. Keep in mind, these girls NEVER cry, I'm the emotional one. Soon I'm crying to, causing more pain to my head. I reach my hand up, touching a fresh bandage. I look down at my arms, each has multiple IV's plugged into it.

A nurse comes in, followed by, "Harry!" my voice sounds less hoarse, but still is fairly garbled. His face is splotchy , if it weren't for his hair I might not have even recognized him. His eyes are wide as saucers, and swollen like tennis balls. He appears like he hasn't slept for days, with those bloodshot eyes. He bursts into hysterics, unable to speak. Niall and Liam try to calm him down, but fail with their efforts. After a good ten minutes, he takes a seat in the chair beside me, grabbing my hand. He's burning up, that or I'm freezing cold.

"What happened?" my voice is finally back to normal. Louis and Zayn make their way into the room. They each take turns, telling how the scene played out to them.

Apparently, right after me and Harry kissed, a fan got angry to say the least. She took off her 4 inch wedge boot and chucked it at my head. Just my luck, she had perfect aim. It also didn't help that I hit my head on the concrete stage immediately afterwards. I suffered two concussions and minor bruises. "I thought I'd lost you, i saw the blood and....." harry fights back more tears. "Lexi, if something worse would have happened to you." grace bursts into another round of tears, and Liv takes her out into the wall to comfort her.

I catch Nina's glossed over eyes. "Hey Nina Argentina." i say managing a laugh at my old nickname for her. She swallows hard. "Hey Alexis Texas." we both laugh, sure it hurts, but it helps the soul so I laugh as long as possible. The nurse ushers everyone to the other side of the room. She checks my blood pressure, liquids, and reapplies my bandages. "Oh, we also left out one tiny detail."

I roll my eyes at Louis. "Your parents are on their way......SURPRISE!" forgetting where we are, he jumps on the bed. I whimper in pain. "Oh, sorry!" but harry is already glaring at him.

I finally process what he said. "WHY ARE MY PARENTS COMING?!?! DO YOU REALIZE HOW MUCH TROUBLE I WILL BE IN!!!!" i go around the room, making eye contact with everyone in the room. After know one answers, i decide to ask another question. "How long have I been out?" "5 hours." Liam states, avoiding actual contact. that's a lot longer than I expected. I call the nurse back in. I talk to her, asking simple questions about if I can move, where the bathroom's at, and to notify me as soon as my parents get here. She says ok, and once she leaves I start to get up and walk over to the door. Everyone starts laughing far to loud for my concussion-ed head to like. "What's so funny?" i ask impatiently. "Lex, hun," olivia fights back her laughter. " You're wearing a hospital gown." i takes me a second to understand what she meant. I turn around, looking at myself in the mirror. Sure enough, my pale bottom was clearly visible. I decide not to fight it, i was to physically drained.

I decide to quote the Hunger Games, knowing the girls will understand. "Why, do you find this distracting?" i attempt to look like Finnick, stiking the best sexy pose I could in my condition. The girls are laughing so hard they fight back tears. The boys simply have blank looks on their faces. " Well," niall says, "now we know what Lex and Harry have in common." harry looks shocked, nervous at the least. He smiles, and I open the other door and enter the bathroom.

I look like a pale mummy, with my exhausted skin, black choppy hair, and bandages covering the top part of my head. And i thought Harry wouldn't see me looking any worse. I hear noises come from outside the door. "Mom! Dad!" i scream tempted to run out the door. Bare butt + hot boys +parents = Nuh-uh! "Lexi!! Are you ok? When we got the call we came straight down!" "Ya I'm fine, hey mom, do you have any extra clothes for me?" totally embarrassing thing to say with 1D right on the other side, but i decided i couldn't get more embarrassed. There's a light knock at the door. Mom hands me a pile of clothes then returns to what I now call my life.

Thank god she picked out something presentable. Skinny jeans, black v-neck shirt, Adventure Time hoodie, and of course my Pastry Hi-tops. My head starts to feel dizzy, so once I re-join the others i lay right back down on the bed.

I look into my dad's dark brown eyes and I know I'm in deep (starts with sh, ends with it. I promise i don't ever curse unless im really mad or really confused! Olivia calls me Mother Mary because of this habit.) "Well we got most of the story from your friends, but all I need to know is, who are these boys? Did they kidnap you?" parents these days. Luckily my mom understands. "Brandon, these boys are One Direction, the band our daughter will not shut-up about. Especially that one." she points at Harry. Scratch that, she doesn't understand.

Louis, Zayn, and Harry have all way to big grins on their faces. "Yeah, mom....the thing about that is.....Harry's sorta, my boyfriend now." well, that was easier than i thought. "About time! I was getting tired about how you wished that boy would notice you on twitter, and how you'd kiss the screen with his picture on it-oops! Probably shouldn't have said that." thanks mom, always know how to keep a girl cool. I slump down in my before more laughter comes from the group. "Aw, come on Lexi, you were just starting to cheer up." Harry pinches on cheek while Nina gets the other. "let's see those pearly whites!" they shove my cheeks upward, carful to avoid my bandages, and force me to smile. Please God, let me make it out of this alive.
